Laughing at my micropeen certainly. Causes inspiration for their new album, "Denying Condoms Forevermore."

...anyways...
I figured out how to play most of The Other Side on guitar. Unique riffing on that song.

Well, not so unique, I would say, but definitely fun to play.

I suppose unique to me because I'm not overly familiar with that tuning. I don't typically venture too far out of standard or drop d. Anytime I try and write anything in that drop B, it always come out sounding like a wannabe Come To Life or something

Totally agree man. Poison is probably the worst song they've ever done. It's so bland. No offense.
You're entitled to your own opinion, of course. But you're wrong. That chorus melody is a thing to treasure forevermore (see what i did there?)

Also do not agree with this opinion about Poison. Impossible that this is their worst song, for after all they recorded Champion. Imo by far their worst effort ever.

Have you heard We Don't Care At All? Champion blows it out of the water...I'm not saying there is a 'bad' AB song...but if there is, its WDCAA

Haha I have exactly the same problem. It's one of those reasons why I love All Hope Is Gone. That verse melody is something else, especially on that tuning imo.

Watch Your Words is easily one of their most underrated songs.

Maybe we should start tweeting at them to add Watch Your Words to the set. Never know on this tour.

My complaint with production is that Marks harmonies are hard to hear.
