I wonder how much of that is respect to Johnny though? Again, I do love both.

Dylan has said he feels weird playing Watchtower because Hendrix's version is so much superior. Which it is and I'm a huge Dylan fan.

I somehow forgot all about Good Morning Spider in the 90s tournament. Wasn't gonna let it happen this time.

I think that's PJ Harvey doing backing vocals.

Rusty Cage was killer at that show, it was when the place first came alive after everyone made their way in from the lots halfway through SG's set.

I quite liked Cash's take on Rusty Cage. I think I liked the originals better. Cash's version of hurt is really moving, but there something so hugely melodramatic (in a good way) about the NIN version, even if it's kind of hard to take seriously anymore.

SG closed with Rusty Cage when I saw them last year. It was wonderful. First time playing Kickstand since 1996 that night as well.

For the new Sin City commercial there is someone covering Blow Up the Outside and its great. Now sure who it is.

I went back and forth on which pearl jamish song to pick. World Wide Suicide was the song that, after a series of increasingly disappointing albums (for me) convinced me that Eddie Vedder still had his passion. But it was this song that convinced me that he could still sing his ass off. The rising moan from 2:15-2:35 remains one of my favorite moments in his entire catalog.

Yep. Since Lament wasn't in this thing I thought I'd get it as pick 5. I was wrong.

I miss Lament. He's like the cool little brother I never had. :(

the thought has crossed my mind. But I think Lament would kill himself just so he could haunt me from beyond the grave if I did

I'd advise against any negatively about Amy Adams. That's Platy's girl.
