We've had a few clips since the first one, which consisted of one or two lines. Can anyone make out the rest of the lyrics we've heard?

Speaking as someone who had S/T a month before it's release date...I'm quite shocked at myself for not caving and listening to all these 30 second leaks.

Awesome.. thanks.

So we've got 'Gonna see my friend, gonna see my friend, gonna see my friend..... Gonna see my friend, gonna see my friend, gonna see my friend... GONNA SEE MY FRIEND, GONNA SEE MY FRIEND, GONNA SEE MY FRIEND!.... GONNA SEE MY FRIEND, GONNA SEE MY FRIEND, GONNA SEE MY FRIEND!....'

I'm not sure if this is accurate.. second opinion please.

I do like the musical change at the point where Ed sings 'Gonna see my friend...'

i don't know.. this one seems more demanding then those. well, dte anyway..

plus, i don't like the way he's been singing dte lately. he needs to go back to the '06 style (asking for the '98 style is unrealistic, i realize).

He doesn't pull off blood. DTE is hit or miss but usually pretty good.

Agreed.

I guess it depends what you mean by 'pull off'.. No he doesn't scream and belt it out like he did during the Vs. era but is anyone seriously expecting him to?

I've seen him perform the song twice and both times he 'pulled it off'.. whether he was screaming and belting it, or singing it, or a mixture of both.

I think its one of those songs that should be retired.

if I ever had a chance to write a setlist blood would almost certainly be on it. it's an average song for me studio wise but I love hearing it live

Fair enough. I never thought too highly of it.

no way!

blood should stay exactly as it is....played not frequently but definitely not retired. i know eddie can't yell like he did in 94 but he can still belt it out. heard them play it live at adelaide 2 2006 and it still sounded great even though eddie was sick as a dog

also who can forget the classic line from mansfield 03 pre set 'there's not gonna be an acoustic version of blood or anything' ahahahahahah
