You've now made it very clear.

Oh wait, I see. Because of the double post. I gotcha. Never mind. I didn't realize I'd double posted.

I gotcha buddy. No worries. I didn't realize what I'd done. I was legit confused until I went back and looked.

Totally worthy of the friendly abuse.

I just hate when boom comes in every time with that. "Bah bah BAAAH, bah bah bah, bah BAAAH"

you ever been in a church after it's ended, and a kid sneaks up to the organ and starts mashing on the keys?

[E.H. Ruddock]

I became acquainted with "Crazy Mary" by way of the 2000 bootlegs, and as a result the studio take has always felt really off-center to me in a bad way. Eddie sounds really weird and unnatural on it -- there are parts where he sounds like he's trying to pull off a kind of Springsteen drawl, and other parts where he sounds like he's got a clothespin on his nose ("could meet you halfway"). I'm not a fan of the backing vocals either. Overall I think it's kind of a hokey-sounding performance.

It's a wonderful song, though. To me the 2000 versions are still tops, though the 2003 versions where they first introduced the Mike/Boom duet takes me back to a happy place too. That was pretty fun when it was new, though it's less so fifteen years later.

2000 Crazy Mary is definitely best Crazy Mary. Studio version included.

Yeah, and it's not particularly close.

The bridge in Brain Of J is basically the exact same thing as the bridge in Pilate. They might as well have just recorded it once and dumped it into both songs. Lazy approach.

Change my mind.

Just to clarify, are you looking for evidence other than the fact that they have different chords, melodies, lyrics, rhythms, and tempos?

I considered posting this on the pit or 10C Facebook but would have felt bad for crashing their servers.
