  1. Yesterday I realized the beauty that is 'Better Man'. Hope they'll play it when I see them live.
  2. most likely they will
  3. Top 10 list-IMO

    Go- best opener in their catalog. A swift kick right to the chin.

    Yellowledbetter- I remember being around 8 or 9 when I first heard this and instantly fell in love. I anxiously purchased Vitalogy expecting this to be on it and was severly disappointed (as was my father lol). I didn't know what a b side was yet. I actually resented Vitalogy for a while because this wasn't on it.

    Alive- amazing amazing amazing. Always will be in my top 5 songs of all time.

    In my tree- took a while for me to get into but has definitely morphed into a favorite. Great lyrics and me being a drummer , I love the tribal drumming of Jack Irons although I do feel Matt is the best drummer they ever had.

    Do the Evolution- I must admit, I hated this song for it's first 5 yrs of existence. then something happened. This song made the garden rumble as witnessed in the DVD. I never experienced anything like it. Since then this song is a live staple for me. It's one of their best live songs and never fails to bring down the house.

    Sad- omg this song has some really sad and amazing lyrics that strike a chord with me. Shame it didn't make Binaural. One of the few songs left on my "havent seen yet live" list. Maybe soon

    Black- the centerpiece of one of the best debut albums of all time. Pure emotion, especially live.

    Breathe- "if I knew where it was, I would take you there, Theres much more than this!" first time I seen this song live that line gave me chills that I'll never forget. 3rd B side on this list and the best IMO.

    Nothingman- beautiful song that kinda caught me off guard first time I heard it. My personal favorite from Vitalogy

    RVM- I don't even know what to say. Do I need to say anything?

    Honorable mentions

    Betterman
    Corduroy
    Release
    In hiding 
    Leash 



  4. It's one of the top 10 most frequently performed songs by the band so there's a great chance you'll get to hear/see it. Gotta love "Save it for Later." I recommend that you listen to the version from one of the 2003 Mexico City shows (I can't remember off hand which of the three concerts it in in). It is FANTASTIC!

    I have currently omitted it from my 2011 Canadian Tour compilation (four discs - creation still in progress). Since it was played in Toronto (Night 2) and by your comments, maybe I should rethink my decision.



  7. As much as I love this song, I have come to appreciate the anticipation of it (and heavy hitters like it) being the "swift kick" as the second song in a show. I love listening to "build up/slow burn" songs like Sometimes, Release, or Long Road to open - and then...BOOM!

    I agree from the live point of view but the album openers are usually heavy songs. Pretty much all except No code and riot act start with a bang. Release is one of their best live opening songs!
  9. Oh, yeah. I was thinking live...I forgot about the studio albums (rarely listen to those anymore).

    However, even songs like Once, Go, Last Exit, and Brain of J have a few-second, quieter intro before the....BOOM!

    Sometimes and Can't Keep are two of my favourites from their respective albums.

    All the photographs were peeling
    and colors turned to gray
    He stayed... in his room with memories for days
    He faced... an undertow of futures laid to waste
    Embraced... by the loss of what he could not replace

    There is no reason that she passed
    And there is no god with a plan
    It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
    It's sad... he could only love you
    It's sad

    The door swings to a passing fable
    A fate we may delay
    We say... holding on...delivered in our own brace
    He let em as he laid in bed
    hoping that dreams would bring her back
    It's sad... and his loneliness is proof
    It's sad... he could only love you
    It's sad

    Holding his last breath
    Believing... he'll make his way
    But she's not forgotten
    He's haunted...he's searching for escape

    If just one wish could bring her back
    It's sad... and his lonliness is proof
    It's sad... he will always love you
    It's sad

    After the bridge, the first line is " if just one wish could bring her back" sung over a great subtle solo that gives me chills everytime.
  12. even if i also really love the start slow song-2/3 killer songs .. i would really like this kind...
    1-2-3-4 (Ramones style ) --> Lukin .. even just for one time
