I love this song so much. It's in my top 4 with johnny guitar, unthought known, and force of nature.


I was just about to respond that we share the same top 4, then i remembered Just Breathe and The End. Damn this album is good!

It has such a GnR - STP - Velvet Revolver vibe to it.....and me likes it, a lot! [That said, I wish Supersonic or even Got Some was the opener and GSMF was the second half rocker.....]

those three bands converge at the worst point of their respective musics, so that might explain why i don't like this much.

The character of this song changes with the bridge. I think it goes from good to great at that point.

Best song on the album.

Amongst the Waves should genuflect whenever Gonna See My Friend walks by.

I don't really get that comparison much anymore. I did from that 10 second snippet of the chorus, but certainly not in the song as a whole

This song is missing a really, sweet, groovin' guitar solo. If you stuck that in at the end of the bridge, it would be a 10 and it would blow the mind of all who listened.

no, i don't hear it either. but i thought, well, maybe i missed it, cause if it does sound like that, that explains why i wasn't a fan. i don't want to hear "Slither" done by Pearl Jam.

Some of the guitar is Slash-esque and Ed's layered vocals are Appetite- and/or Contraband-esque (to my ears, anyway).

Can't warm up to this one at all..Supersonic or got some woulda been better as openers I reckon..Just don't feel it..can't see them playing it too much either.

I can see them playing it and fucking up Ed's voice for the rest of the show :wink:

Yeah, Ed's vocals are so unhinged on this song that I'm surprised his throat didn't collapse from singing it. It's a really thunderous opener though and I dig it.

This song gets stuck in my head a lot. Make it go away...

Not sure if that means I like it or if it just has that catchy chorus. I find myself drumming the steering wheel every time I listen to it in my car.

best bass/drum on the album. also, the structure of the song is pretty satisfying. i'm sold on this one.

This is kind of a tooled up Black Red Yellow.

Guitar work is extremely similar.

yes, so can I. It's that low voice, maybe. Anyway, I *love* this song. Listening to the album I don't get far because I want to play this one on repeat. It has definately what appealed me to 'grunge', maybe even something 'hair band'.. And the best: it's instant happiness and energy. Amazing how they have been able to catch that in a song.

groetjes,
Mirella :)
