I recall Stone having a similar grimace during Ed's rambling RRHoF speech.

I love Stone.

That "pitiful" lyric is really terrible.

The most important thing to take away from this song is the fact that Matt's snare drum does not sound like shit for a change, which is a seriously big deal.

If they hired me as musical director I would have Matt or Stone sing the "higher, farther/darkness, darkness" parts so Ed can catch his breath. At least that would give them something to do.
Good observation. After finally listening to the live version, my first thought was "well, of course, the chorus sounds bad because it's so layered vocally on the single and it needs to be vocally supported by harmony live, too." Ed can't sing all of it himself. And it seems like he's still trying to figure out which vocal part to take and stick with. They should figure out an actual vocal arrangement with Jeff, Stone and Matt supporting Ed. Ed can take the lower part. It could be really effective. Other than that, I thought the live version sounded good. Hope I get to hear it live, in person, one of these days.

I positive somebody put Ensure in his cup instead of whiskey. And that's why he's pissed.

Upon closer inspection he’s also pelvis-thrusting and making a face that is also a promise

Mike looks like a spritely 70 year old.

Oh I get The Fixer

Why? Is it because people are moving once in a while and they say the word sitting? Or is it that you hear Pearl jam ? Which is the reason that you like it Burt?
Wheels bring me a lot of joy.
I'm just fascinated at how dated that video looks already, even though it's now 9 years old.
To be clear, I paired an old Budweiser TV ad from the 90s to the "Fixer" music, because that's what "The Fixer" sounds like to me. That was the joke.

I like my Rocky IV version better.

“What’s that,” you say, “you prefer your own idea to somebody else’s?!”

Strange. But true!

Has anyone slowed this way down to make it more "grunge" could be fun.

Can we talk about how you pluralize Lilith Fair like it's the attorney general?
