it would just make me so angry.


The fact that this may be the weakest song on vitalogy shows how impossibly great that album really is

Have loved it since I got it at my first show in '94. It was the 2nd tune and we were all like WTF was that?!? That's awesome.

Contrast that with now and how I hate to hear it live because it's too fast and I hate how Matt plays it.

"Vitalogy" is officially THE best album for roadwork.

this is an amazing example of a song that has "grungy" aggressive aesthetics but underneath is just a rock and roll song, something PJ were once masterful at

I think people would be sick of the three chord power punk approach and would probably hate it now too

This is a good question and point. Are we just fatigued by this style now?

I think that is part of it, yes. And also that we can't wrap our head around mid 50's rich men playing such music.
