Instant classic is called instant classic for a reason, jerk.

Its probably been talked about already? But its very cool that 36 songs have been licensed to MLB for the games. This is my favorite time of year to watch baseball and even better now!

During my time in the States, I dated a girl who was a big Sox fan, so I guess I'm on that train.

This album's really good.

Guys, can I just double check that the nice hardcover CD is the commercially available one and not just the 10C version? Anyone know?

The way he flip flopped on Vitalogy/No Code after Richards called No Code fucking awesome.
did he really flip-flop though? if i recall, all he said was he wished they spent more time perfecting the songs during the No Code sessions... and then later said he loved In My Tree and Present Tense because they're some of his favourite lyrics... i don't see why he can't hold both opinions.
Maybe he wishes he could've done more work on it *because* it's his favourite. I know I feel like that about my poetry. When I publish a poem that I think is really good, I'm frustrated that I didn't wait to make it great.
I get your point but no. He only felt the need to point that out after someone reminded him that despite the fact he didn't have time to play with it turned out ok. Besides your posts about Dave A's drumming on Vitalogy kind of kills his argument :lol:
This isn't new btw. Most people assume they jammed out Vitalogy because of his past quotes yet he states the opposite here and has said s/t was the 1st jammed out one after Vs. So i don't think he's new at this kind of shit. It's interesting how much positively Stone talks about Ed. It's like he's compensating for maybe giving him more shit then he deserved back in the day.
Stone is very positive about Ed....very....almost too positive. He's always talking about how great and wonderful he is. I always wonder if he really believes what he is saying.

Just one thing: the "red dress" I've been hearing in LTRP is just "records". Which is far less interesting. But I need to warn you in case you use my writing about the song on the Internet, and embarrass us both.

If he's compensating for giving him too much shit earlier on, it doesn't mean he's insincere in what he's saying.
