    I love No More. What I love most is that Eddie stands up for what he believes in and doesn't really care who he offends in doing so

    You aren't alone. I like it a lot too. It's a very moving song and so up front about it's message, it was cool to hear it live last year.

    Its not the words that offend me, its the poor music behind them with this particular song.

    Play Bushleaguer if you want to protest Bush - its a good song musically and I would have much rather heard that every single show and not No More. Luckily its almost retired, unfortunately it was the biggest surprise for Chicago II and not of the good kind!

    i LOVE the song...but he over played it WAY too much...but then again, ed does that...he get's into these fads of songs that he likes to play a little too much. thank god they are short lived though...but as a song i LOVED No More, sucks it isn't that relevant anymore...then again we are now in Afghanistan ...

    love it!

    am i the only one who thinks Ed's an asshole for not playing it since Obama has taken office? I mean the war is still on...and escalating!.....troops are still dying!...the song is just as relevant now as it was when Bush was in office!!...wtf Ed?!! :evil:

    NO MORE PRESIDENTS LYING...NO MORE SOLDIERS DYING!!! 8-)



    (Chicago doesn't count...it was requested by dudes brother)

    I do not like this song.
    I do not like it live.

    Though I agree with a lot of PJ/Eddies political views, this song just seemed to epitomize what I dislike about bringing their politics to the stage.

    sorry to rain on your parade.


    I can even say that I would take Gone over No More any day. And that's saying a lot.
    Life has nothing to do with killing time.
    So why be satisfied?

    I like it but in my opinion it was overplayed on the 08 tour.

    depends on the crowd
  • JordyWordyJordyWordy Posts: 2,261
    Yeah, a crowd makes or breaks this.

    The live version from Nijmegen 07 is still the best one ive heard to date. (well, maybe some of the Ed solo shows can top it, but ive only heard a few).

    Also,there's an "alternative" slower recording with lower vocals and some backing intstruments, anyone have it? Send a possible PM way?
