This definitely has some elements from Slash, but it gets more AB-like with each listen for me. I agree with Tracy that it was way more impactful at the party in its entirety, and that version ihas another minute of the most creative AB type material on it. If you are thrilled yet, be patient.

Any chance that the version for purchase tomorrow is the album version?
Thanks Greg, You're welcome! But does anybody know what he says before Marks solo? "It's getting harder to ???"

I'm gonna be the type of guy that's gonna sing Myles' second vocals during the "whoa" part so the people around me can have the album experience :D

Don't know if this is against the rules, but I'd just like to point out that the full version is out there on Youtube. I won't link it, but it is there. And sounds freaking AWESOME.

I will say that I liked it much more once I heard it with the full intro

My first post guys...and also a new fan I need to say...but now i'm a really crazy fan...however there is also the 5.05 minutes version that's floating around (don't worry guys i will buy the single)...and really guys i can't understand how radio cuts amazing parts from songs...i know that is for "time questions" but really they killed the song..the intro is one of the best part of the song!

It's there! Not very hard to find, but I won't link because I'm pretty sure I'm already bordering on breaking rules here :P

Just wait till tomorrow (depending on the timezone) instead of some crappy YT rip... It's not worth it.

Quality aside, hearing the song how it's meant to be makes SO much more sense as an AB song than the radio edit on its own. The part that we heard this morning has more context now with the opening. Personally feel A LOT better about the song now. Can't wait to hear it in its best quality.

In terms of Opening tracks, I like this more than Ties and Find The Real, but not as much as Schlip or Achilles.

Cry of Achilles

At least tell me what to search in youtube? I put in "Show me a Leader Full..." and that didn't work.

The people at the LP said they didn't hear Slash in this, and now with the full recording, I honestly don't hear it anymore, and I heard it a lot in the radio edit. Weird.

Good that the full version is being released. I was afraid they would stick with the "single edit", as the band (or whoever makes these decisions for them) are pretty terrible with knowing what music to release and how. Haven't heard it yet, I may have missed the upload of it for today, but I will try to avoid listening to the edit again before I do so that I don't get used to hearing it without the intro.

However I have been tempted to listen to the version I have got again even though I want to wait and hear the full thing, so I guess that is a good sign.

I've tried every possible combination of words and filters, but it just won't come up.

Listened to the full version

That's going to be their intro.. its gotta be. Although I still am not a fan of the song, I think the intro works very well. Like, they're all off the stage and Mark starts playing the haunting sort of intro, and then they all come on when Myles has his solo. That'd be neat.
