    i could never really get into renegades. idk i just thought it was a weak attempt and unoriginal.
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    I thought the moments leading up to and right after they took the stage at Coachella '07 were some of the most highly charged moments of any concert I have ever been to.

    Ever.

    +1 for Maggie`s Farm; great cover.
    Also, How I Could Just Kill a man is all kinds of bad-ass.
    Awesome for basketball or workouts.
    Cheers.

    i think evil empire was their best album, the lyrics could be repetitive but not nearly as much as their 1st and musically it was far better than the 1st.
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'

    Can't wait for Sunday!! First time seeing RATM having been a fan for 14ish years. It'll also be great just to see Tom, Timmy and Brad again, I loved going to Audiosalve gigs, they always put on a incredible show.
