      I worked with a guy once who was an equal at the time and said that quote to me. Kind of an asshole type guy. Flash ahead a few months later and he became my boss. so I dug a tunnel out of there and when I turned my 2 week notice into him I said the quote back to him.

        I don't know if it's the fact I'm listening to this song on computer speakers, but this one is the biggest letdown to me. Something isn't right about it, isn't mixed right, vocals too high and guitar a little subdued sounding, or maybe that it's not in the brown sound tone, new lyrics and vocal delivery...I don't know what it is, but it doesn't seem to have the same bite of the original.

            Now although I do not play in a cover band, in fact I play in a thrash metal band we ARE gonna re-make this song and go into it in middle of one of our tunes. We started working on it last night. Gonna be killer!!! We are opening for 3 Inches of Blood next month and plan on doing it then. I will get a vid of it up here. Hopefully we do it justice. You all can be the judge of that.

                  at the moment, 'bullethead' is not among my faves; that'll change though.

                  the popular variant of the dog/hydrant analogy here is 'sometimes you're the statue, sometimes you're the pidgeon'.

                    And sometimes a song is better left on the cutting room floor...

                    The jamming in this song is nice, but Dave sounds like he made those silly lyrics up on the spot...

                    What does the lyric "A Different Kind Of Truth" have to do with driving, bombing the moon, driving in traffic or anything ??

                    The first line is cool, but it's lame for a 56 year old Roth who usually has interesting lyrics...

                          It's just one of those songs where he sticks in all the one liners he has come up with/picked up.

                          Like the line on YFLM 'In God we trust, everybody else pays cash' these are only cool if you haven't heard them before.

                            Yeah, but Dogtown Shuffle has some thought put into the lyrics...
