And should they have done the songs Ed didn't want to do without a guitarist?

As Is and Honeybabysweetiedoll were always the new Girl Gone Bad and House Of pain one two punch for me. Those 2 and You And Your Blues are my favorite 3. Honorable mention to Beats Workin' (Put Out The Lights) as it used to be my favorite unreleased Eddie riff.

I like so much of it, but I think As Is would be my favourite.

Blood and Fire hands down.

Beautiful lyrics/delivery by DLR... "Told ya I was coming back..." Fuck yes you did Dave. To your rightful spot next to the King of 6 strings and 10 fingers....

Ed's solo sends tears down my face... One of Ed's most emotional solo's from beginning to end.

Al's drumming has almost a Stuart Copeland like feel

..When it's over, it just feels like your life experiences all make more sense.

I blasted this in my car with my dog Cosmo crying so hard before I had to walk into the vet to put him to sleep in 2012...

Oh, man .... Sure enough that the song has to be so special to you.

My condolences for the loss of your dog. May Cosmo be in peace.

Beats Working

Stay Frosty

Played the hell out of those two songs in the truck every time we headed to the U.P. Of Michigan with the snowmobiles in tow

From the band that brought you Finish What Ya Started, the breakdown in Full Bug, and the clean riff in HFT...

Yeah, been there too. Horrible day. A little over 19 years ago now since.

Big River for me.

Just needed to be that little bit faster in tempo to match the original Big Trouble.

Big River is damn nice and it has other lyrics, but I'd go with the 2nd version of Big Trouble.
The 1st one (with the Oh, lá lá saying (later used on Beautiful Girls) and a repetition of Trouble after the 'Big Trouble 'chorus').
Oh, and there are some different drum fills, too.

1st version:

2nd version:

My wife's fav is WB Demo Big Trouble.

We just had this discussion in the car the other day.

She likes the backup vox in the WB Demo version and the ooh la la as well.

I like the lyrics & solo in Big River better than Big Trouble.
Though I prefer the grove of the breakdown in WB Demo version.
The real question is, what does the version from the Diver Down sessions sound like?!?

PS - If you have the ability to crank the Simmons demo, you can hear Ed grumble before one of the overdubs - which I think was in Big Trouble; I can't remember which tune, but I wanna say Big Trouble or SGMD. Always found that funny.

I actually love that version, the Punks did a great job on it.

I'm re listening to a ADKOT currently (computer crashed so I am loading all my music onto another device), bullet head always seemed like an odd choice to me. I haven't listened to it in a awhile so it'll be interesting to see how I feel about it these days
