I hear it too. But I'm trying to find the fuckin' song.
Edit: How Soon is Now.
That's the one!

Okay you don't hear it be out too much but I do. Enough that it shits me everytime. It obviously wasn't a problem for TeamPJ, nor was Matt's sloppy fill during the intro nor Boom's lazy run in verse 2.
From a long time guitar player (if that even makes a difference), I love his solo on the video version. I actually get goosebumps when he switches guitars and tears into the first few notes.
Mike gets a lot of shit for wanking and I've heard people say they prefer Stone's solo's for the "feel". And now we're talking about if one of his solos is "slightly" off? I just can't understand it. Mike is an awesome lead guitarist; 99.9 percent of bands out there would kill to have a guy of his caliber in their group.
To me, the solo sounds awesome and is one of my favorite parts of the song. Instead of actively looking for things that is wrong with it why not just enjoy all the things that are right?

Just because there's no positives in that post doesn't mean I don't feel any positives for the song. People here always comment on Ed and Matt so I've put my 2cents in here on a solo that was presented to the world to promote their new album. And for me it's sloppy. For you it's awesome.

I think he biffs the solo in a couple spots. We were not really discussing the quality of the solo I didn't think.

I have a couple buddies that have been die hard fans like me since '92. We are all disgusted with the song. We continually make fun of the "Hear the sirens..." line as much as we did "put a little fixin on it." I'm pretty sure we all wished we liked, however, it has been nothing but bashed since we have heard it. And we've all listened to it numerous times. It's just bad, folks.
I'm shocked by the love for this song. I read where someone said it's right there with "Alive" as an anthem. You, sir, should be shot.

Interestingly enough, I rarely if ever feel the need to make fun of songs I don't like from bands that I love. There were bad songs on around the sun I don care to ever hear again but it would not occur to me to make fun of them

Yes. It already has, sadly.
Just wait til Future Days is released. I may just shoot myself over that one. But, that's for another day.

I hear ya. I think we just kind of mock it.
For example, the other night when discussing Breaking Bad, my friend said...
- Spoiler: show
- Hank won't be hearing the sirens any longer. Just little stuff like that.
And I should add that it breaks my PJ heart how much I dislike this song.

To be fair, I like the song and I'll still use the meme in a mocking way because it's funny.

Im the same way, i may make fun of songs from artists that i have no respect for, but every band misses every once and a while( though im in the group that doesn't think sirens is a miss)
