[moose]

HBSD followed by Stay Frosty on the set list
SMOKIN!!!
And I agree with ya Zing! on Bullethead!!

[sadaist]

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?

[Catfish]

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!

[Fairwrning]

Moving up my list..this song kills

Officially my fave...Alex and Wolf are grooving..Daves voice is killer and Ed is Ed..

[vandeleur]

one of my fav's on the cd would love to hear them do this in the set ... seemingly they keep sound checking with it

This is the best track on the CD, IMO. The title tricks you and then the song smacks you upside the head.

It's a practical joke best played LOUD.

ha. well said. looking at the back of the CD, i wanted to dislike this song. a lot. then i hear the intro and think, whoooa.

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!

[VAiN]

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.
