But I listened to the studio cut last night with headphones, and my gosh it slays. I just LOVE Jeff's bass tone, and everything Jack is doing. And Ed sounds so great.
Im gonna give it a solid 3, because that's a fair point between the greatness of the studio version and the afterthought that the live version has transformed into.
I liked that slow version a lot. The studio version is fun for what it is, but feels disposable. I’ve never liked the live versions with either drummer, other than slow.
While I am generally not a fan of Jack’s drumming, Lukin and Brain of J are two places wher he shines for me
I think it's the only time the band really nailed this kind of thing. They maybe haven't tried a lot. But as far as the more frenetic, fast, punk rockers go, this one is perfect.
The only version of this song I like is the live version from Australia back in ‘95. It was called 100 Pacer on the “import” cd I had. There were virtually no lyrics, the the music was just perfect. Every version pales in comparison to that version.

I'd take this over Habit any day, for example.
it is odd to me that you would love one and kind of revile the other

One is smart, topical, passionate, immediate, visceral, personal, catchy, and exact. It's a precise exploration of genre and craft.

The other is Habit.
As well Lukin is a shade over one minute long, Habit is three times that.
