The main riff is simple but kinda catchy, and I do like the solo and kinda love the call and response outro. But man, the body of this song is terrible.

I just listened to this. I think Ed's vocals are the best part. The music is pretty boring most the way through. From the start of the guitar solo to the end is actually pretty good. If there was more going on in the first half of the song besides the boring riff over and over I think it could be a pretty good song. Matt's drumming isn't helping anything. Ed's kinda weird vocals are the only interesting sounding thing going on for a lot of the song. I don't mind the lyrics, they're not exactly good, but they're not "let me run into the rain to be a human light again" stupid.

The fact that it weirdly sounds like Ed's mockery of the Spanish-speaking population aside, I enjoy this song. There were some good versions on the generally forgettable 2011 tour. Can't say I find myself seeking out the studio version as often, but it's a good momentum keeper -- some nice yelping from Eddie, and Mike's solo is refreshingly offbeat. I'd take it over 50% of "LB," easy.

Can you reword these few sentences? Sounds weird. Just the first sentence I guess.

Man, what a kick in the balls this song was. Coming down from the PJ20 only to hear "there's a new song"!!!

Then there was this...

It was musical roshambo. Over and over again.

From Mike's solo to the end, this is a pretty cool song. And before that, it's really only Ed mucking things up that badly.

I do not recall a single thing about this song other than the repeating of ole.

Not a good sign.

Y'know what? Yeah.

I think my post above undersold the innocent hard-rockin' joy I get from this tune.
