  1. California was a dud live because it didn't have those SYNTHS man, the SYNTHS! They're what make the song so fucking awesome on the album. They make it feel modern, electro-poppy, and have that "cruising on a highway along the beach" feel in the chorus.

    Also, what happened to those rumours of them playing The Best Thing?
  2. Not happening tomorrow, just keep your eyes open

    Agree. The synthy electronic rock thing was what made California a really great track. I really hope they try it out with some proper snythiness.

    Any time they decide to drop a new song, I'm ready....

    Definitely agree with this, I don't think the edge likes the idea of the guitar sort of being drowned out though like the studio version.
  9. Play Cali plz!
  11. As a founding member of the CDTF, I agree wholeheartedly with Alex.
