Easy choice for me here. Betterman is actually one of my least favorite PJ songs. Leatherman is just a fun b side but Nothingman...has totally kicked my ass since Vitalogy came out.
Sorry, I was trying to be sarcastic. Leatherman just doesn't do it for me and is usually my bathroom/beer run song.
yeah, sarcasm doesn't really come through on the net without some type of smiley/punctuation. when someone asks a question like this, I assume they are being sarcastic, but I also don't want to reply as a PJ elitest ("you don't know what LEATHERMAN IS??? SERIOUSLY???") in case the person really doesn't know.

Yeah, my bad man. I need to make better use of the emojis.

You must have bad luck if youve seen it enough times to make it your "usual" bathroom/beer run song. Haha.
I have seen it live 10 out of 23 shows and it's always used as a break song for me. Lol.
you've seen Leatherman 10 times? nearly half of your shows? that's insane!
It was played 40 times when you count the 1998 and 2000 tour alone. If they went to those two tours I could see how that was possible but that was 18 years ago. The song rarely gets played now though with only 15 showings in the last decade.

Love Man of the hour too. Betterman is a really beautiful song...lovely melody, guitars, and poignant lyrics but the way it's done live the last years with the big singalongs has lessened it's musical impact for me. If your are at a show it's all good fun but it's one I prefer to hear a studio or an acoustic live version.
Nothingman was my song for the longest time, and it'll forever mean a lot to me - but I caught a bolt of lightning, and I'm never letting her go

Nothingman
I still love Betterman live, but it's been slightly ruined by drunk people in bars thinking they're Eddie
