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.

Best tune on the album, too bad it's not being played live!

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!

Russel the dog does have a line in this song.....WOOF!

Obviously I didn't pay attention to detail at first on this song, just now caught Russell at 3:18 & 3:20 !

Yes, I'm a dumbass sometimes.

Would make all of the sense in the world to slip this gem into the set. They'd all hit this one outta the park.

I've finally made up my mind. honeybabysweetiedoll is officially my favourite on the album. I look like an idiot bopping behind the wheel everytime it comes on. Would ssssoooooo love to hear it live!!!!

I think I'm there too. Terrifying track, plenty of menace.

Moving up my list..this song kills

I'd say so...very unexpected in terms of what I thought would be on the record...but excellent.

[Von Halen]

My favorite too. I hope it finds its way into the setlist.

My favorite too. I hope it finds its way into the setlist.

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!
