Red Mosquito

I like Brain of J. Don't get me wrong. Super solid song.

But every time I hear No Way I get all gooey inside.

God, that was an awesome performance. This band used to be so fucking good, didn't it?

Vote for No Way, pretty easy one for me. But BoJ is a monster and I'm looking forward to getting to a pc to check out chud's vid there. Boston I assume?

Might be the best ever.

Nope, Maui 1998.

It was one of the videos that was streaming on the official site a few years back. They were embedded in a flash player that didn't allow for downloads, but I noticed that if I viewed the video on my phone it downloaded the file and played it with a media player app, thus putting the file in my downloads folder. Took it from there and upped it to the 'tube.

I know you did, you sexy beast.

That performance is pretty special, though. I'm glad you posted it.

As solid a jam as BoJ is I think No Way has a bit more heart.

I know i'm in a very small minority, but those sandstorm vocals of Eddie's are a little hard for me to listen to. that's what really tanked the 95 tour for me as well.

There are cases where I'd agree. But this isn't one of them. For me, the song deserves the attack. The vocals go really well with the sort of apocalyptic nature of the song. And those guitars.

But I do see what you mean. And it would probably bug me 7 times out of 10.

It helps that he goes in and out of them

I think the gritty edge to Ed's vocals in that clip is quite different to the unintentional hoarseness he was prone to in late 1995.

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I'm actually surprised No Way got its ass kicked so badly. I was prepared for a loss, but not a shellacking.
