    My favorite....right now anyway. Really made my jaw drop first time I listened to it. Played it in a jukebox and shocked the hell out of the people I was with. They didnt even make comments. That first squeal made em look at the jukebox then me then back at the jukebox. Those sounds.....

    When I'm listening to "Honeybabysweetiedoll" I'm thinking about "Skyscraper". I can't put my finger on it, but there's something these two tracks have in common.

    HMmmm. Maybe they were part of the demos recorded with Dave previously? If I recall, there was talk of a bit of a different approach. I think As Is and hbsd could be from those sessions. Then again, who cares! Awesome tunes!

    Love to hear this one live as well. Am I correct in thinking that they haven't thrown in any surprises off of ADKOT other than 'Blood And Fire' for one show? Love, love, love to hear the random deep cuts thrown in like 'The Full Bug' and 'Hang 'Em High,' but it's high time they gave us more Truth like HBSD. Hell - they could even throw in 'Bullethead' and it wouldn't screw with the show that much... it's only 2 1/2 minutes long!

    Fucking LOVE this song. It is my #3 on the album behind As Is & Stay Frosty. But isn't this really really similar to Daves karate video in the streets from several years back?

    This is the latest song to be in heavy rotation when Little Catfish is in the car, due solely to the dark barking part. He pisses himself when that dog barks!

    I know, right? I'm thinking, "Well, Dave must have insisted on a goofy jazz-hands POS."

    Then, when the dog barks, my head fucking explodes.

    It took me awhile but like others here have said, I can unequivocally state this is my favorite song off the album. Everything about it is brilliant. Someone said it reminds them of Fair Warning. For me it screams Women and Children First, kind of like a sped-up "Act Like It Hurts" with lyrics. I LOVE that part at the 2:09 mark where Alex plays in half time and Dave slows down the lyrics. So dirty and nasty it's great!

    I agree, they're really killing it on this one. It's my favorite on the album as well.. That half time part reminds me a little of Sunday Afternoon in the Park.. just nas-tay!

    I think this song has made it into my top 10 VH songs of all time. Who else writes music like this? Answer, NO ONE. Such a shame it doesn't look like they're gonna perform this in concert. This would be the optimal replacement for China Town.

    Isn't it weird how the last 20 years of output from EVH we almost forgot he is a rocker. This song reminds us.

    I agree. Undoubtedly a bit easier to sing, plus Ed would have a song in the set with which he could dick around with that blasted sustainer. I hate that thing, but it sure does work in this tune.
