worst song on the CD. Thats hard to do!

its true. you can tell that song was put together in a matter of minutes i'd guess

you think dave took a long time to write ynk? same god damn chords the whole time. one is genius, the other you think is a pile of crap.

dave can write any song he wants in five minutes, it doesn't matter how long it took to write it.

I loved this at Burgettstown.

I would think YNK took a little while longer to write than HFTGL. The lyrics for one are actually good and thoughtout in YNK and Dave uses a more complicated time signature and unconventional chords on a B tuned guitar. Pretty sure that would take a little bit longer to write than slapping some chords around a riff that Stefan came up with. Plus Stefan told Dave what the song should be about so he didn't even have to waste time thinking up a theme for the song.

Yeah but come on, its a bunch of open chords on a b-tuned guitar. he was talking about the music, as far as i can tell. 75% of daves material is open chord stuff, although theres nothing wrong with it, dave could write some beautiful stuff in five minutes if he so desired. it's a different genre, and just because its different doesn't mean it's 'bad'

ok enough of this banter

The lyrics of YNK triumph over HFGL. Not even a comparison.

Seriously though, it's a song that can be written by any subpar band. DMB has never written such cheap music such as that song before, and to make it on the album is just plain pathetice when Crazy Easy could have been on there instead.

Completely agree, Crazy-Easy was my favorite new song of the '04 tour. If Dave sat down and came up with some killer lyrics for it with a more powerful Roi solo at the end, it would be a classic.

The whole song seems out of place with dave, and the lyrics, however sexual they are, are lame IMO. Compared to the other songs on the album, it just sounds so dissonnant and pointless. As far as the tracklist goes, I would have made Lousiana Bayou the last song and switched it with hunger.

haha. do you even know what that means?

Yes, it does not gel with the other songs in terms of sound. Certain its like fingernails on a chalk board after steady as we go.

are you talking music or words? the words aren't even that bad. i don't know why the hell people are up in arms over the words. it's kind of humorous. the music is awesome, really groovy stuff by the whole band.

this is a case in which the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.

and any cheap band can write anything with a bunch of open chords, which is half of what dave uses anyway. not to discredit him, alot of it is the band.

ya but seriously ur trying to compare a dun da dun da dun dah dun dun. if i can write out the riff in words then iono.

[i am sam2]

it doesnt matter if its open chords or not. it can still be brilliant. jesus proudest monkey is 3 notes and no one bitches "this song sucks cuz it took dave 30 seconds to write"

what i complain about is the time they spent in developing the songs...as a group, producer included. notice the way the crash songs are on the album and the way they are on red rocks (before the album was released)...they morphed. same with the SU songs on tour. but they didnt give them any time in the studio to morph so essentially came out as how they thought of it...that is what i dont like about the time it took to put it together

do you think it took him five minutes to write the music to proudest monkey? probably not. probably 10 seconds, he probably just stumbled upon that riff while talking to his dog or something.

i know...thats my point. no one complained about that song because it took him 10 seconds...so why complain about another because it took 10 seconds?
