This is probably one of the best rock songs of the next decade. Perfect pacing, passionate delivery, great lyrics, backing vocals, triumphant, unforgettable hook. Flawless execution.
I saw this live on Letterman that night on TV , this blew me out of the water. This was one of those songs that don't grow on you. Rather this song is on you from the first 30 seconds. They need to release this performance as a MP3 single and promote the hell out of it. The studio version is really good, but this version is the ultimate with raw emotion and intensity. 4 Stars for this
i had the honor driving them around when they came 3 years ago for a show in greece . Keep up the great work guys you were all amazing !!!! Your friend Aris.
i smoked cigs with dave rosser and scott ford after the band watched their letterman performance at the bar across the street following the twilight singers show @ webster hall that same night
You've got to be in the mood for Dulli....you cannot casually listen.....it helps if you're depressed, or angry, or somewhere that isn't a great place.....then you crank it up....you grimace, you cry, you scream.....Dulli takes you to places that nobody else can. He is a master of the dark arts.
When I turned just enough into my early thirties I dabbled in Greg’s music just enough to be like “if you can’t commit to appreciating this properly then leave it until you can” … Saw the Gutter Twins in LA with my American fling at the time and it confirmed things for me… one of my smarter moves. Over a decade later and every new damned song and musical project hits me like a tonne of bricks… I’m a little bummed I waited until now but now that I have and it’s making me think I wasn’t even ready to get ear fucked by this caliber of material. Like, it’s just as good and dark and has the bounce of any of the best the Stones wrote. How the fuck isn’t his work more popular?!?!?!
Fabulous fabulous fabulous!! Nobody can crank it like Greg Dulli-one unique & eclectic guy! Reminds me of the old Afghan Whigs tunes! So thrilled to see Greg recording again! Last time I checked that tour calendar, there weren't NEARLY enuff dates in the U. S. Would love to see this performed live!!! xx
@teh1990dude Completely agree 100%. The guitars in the beginning sound so great on this live version. Plus the powerful raw driving of this song really shines on this performance. The lead vocals are perfect - even when he clips the last note at times to look at the neck. And the backup vocals blew me away when I heard them come in. Do we have to mention the solo... wow. To me the best part is how he bleeds out the last part of the solo after the vocals come back. Damn good.
saw them as the afghans early ninties in a club here in tampa fla and was a hard core fan up till now.just wish he'd take care of himself more so he'll be around longer.....we need bands like you around greg.....
This is the same song Greg has been writing for years. It could easily be a Whigs tune. The formula is even the same; start with a repetitive chord progression, build in intensity to the chorus, then turn the amps to eleven hammering the progression home. Add a few provocative, personal sounding lyrics over that same old melody, and there you have it; another Greg Dulli song.
@whipchorus I saw them on the acoustic tour in SF. Rosser, Dulli, & Curley were very cool to hang afterwards & talk. I had a bunch of questions for him & failed to ask them all. My first was where are the Teles? Others questions was the irony of recording a lot of the same covers as another artist. Rosser was nice enough to show me his rig & Guild? archtop. Curley & I have a mutual friend. Surreal fucking night for sure.
