I hear him clear as day on the studio cut. RKO
It was definitely RKO on Fallon.

Maybe ed is a wrestling fan
I would expect Ed to be more of a John Cena kinda guy, to be honest.

I actually really like RKO, because if he's going off the film company, with its "Sirens"-type transmission tower and lightning bolt logo, that kind of goes with the general theme of signals and lighthouses and beacons and shit. If this song's about inspiration or belief, it works.

It's not an attention-grabbing image, which I like as well.

I would think he would have liked Raven, I mean, Raven was based on him.

I like the RKO reference. There's something endearingly odd about it. It also reminds me of Rocky Horror.

Fuck, BOB. Seriously. The music has so much more balls live and the outro is a million times better than the album.

Along with how much better the Sirens video performance was...

Which is what?

That it sounds like backspacer if backspacer was a good album.
