i have voted to eliminate T.C.

i love TC on the album, but it never seemed to come out better live. at least not with any frequency.

Go does have a slaying bassline and guitar solo. and Dave A.

it is Go time

I don't think there are many who genuinely dislike the song. It just doesn't hold a candle to Tremor Christ.

1st PJ song I ever heard live was 'Go'. I'll never forget the opening riff and then the band swooping in. "Hot sweaty boner" does about cover it!

TC to go.

I haven't even voted yet. These are my two favorite PJ songs and I don't know what to do. I'm just saying, I think Go is even better than some people realize. So I have the urge to convince them.

I'm going to listen to it right now

I listened to it today, the rythm section is super tight and the subtle change in the secong chorus is nice, it is a good song. Probably top 100. There are at least 2 weaker Vs songs than this.

Go is so good. So is tremor christ.

But, fuck, go.

The song is in Open D and it absolutely does not need to be. But this was when stone was a fucking mad man. THe guitar riff is also crazy. Simple yet effective, sleek yet pummeling.

One of my favorite parts of this song is during the chorus, before the solo, stone plays his guitar picking part...then walks it down the fretboard while Mike cranks up into the solo.

Its so good. Its so thoughtful yet animalistic.

Guys, go is really good.

One of the greatest Go moments is in the Boise version on TB2K when Ed emits that crazy high note at the very end. Probably one his finest moments ever, really. I can’t get enough of it.
