There's no way in hell Ed's going to get the lyrics to The Fixer correct when singing live.
No way.
I'm actually looking forward to hearing what he substitutes and changes.
peace,

    Perhaps it will replace DTE as the most fucked up lyric song?

    This is the only "Fixer" thread worth reading in this entire board.

    No bickering. No Love/hate it. No whining.

    Just a simple discussion about one of the reasons I love PJ live. The "Whats coming next" feeling even in the middle of a song.

    Whipping is the most fucked up lyric song. At least he occasionally gets DTE right.

    I'm guessing that Eddie flubs more lyrics than just about any other singer out there. He's gonna have some issues with "The Fixer". I'm guessing a lot of mumbling, lines in the wrong order, etc.

    I know some people on this board think it's funny or just part of the show, but I personally would prefer him being tight on the lyrics. That may mean going out on tour with 40 rather than 80 songs in rotation... and it may mean some rehearsal and study beforehand.

    I love that about Ed...you never know know what he's gonna say or sing. Hell, I like that about the whole band...like not knowing what little added riff Mikes gonna throw into the end of YL. Ahhh... Improvisation. My ambrosia. I don't want it to ever sound just like the record...guess thats why i listen to boots more than albums!
