oh, and as pete said, it's a pretty shitty song to begin with
yeah, but it's being played because it's a fun old song--not because anyone is taking the message seriously anymore.

Any rock song from the last four albums would sound better on any of the first five albums.

Comatose is the song that immediately comes to mind for this thread.

I was going to say Yellow Moon, but I already love the feel of that one. The bridge could be a little stronger maybe, if it was vsified. But then again Vs. isn't a very subtle album and I like the restraint in that song

Aside from being about "Leash", that seems like a spot-on self-portrait, prissy pants

Man, leash is great, love the music, the lyrics...the overall feeling of it. And i love that they are playing it and i hope to see it live.

Johnny guitar is another one i would like to hear in the vs era; the bridge reminds me of this album.

At the risk of overexplaining, I hope it was clear that I am very much in the pro-Leash camp too.
