WTF they need to release this song. they do a great job with it and it is just as much a pj song as betterman is (both taken from the memberms previous bands) THEY NEED TO MAKE A LOST DOGS 2 and put either a studio version of this or the one from LAS VEGAS which is fucking awesome

  • you will love it , its from the pj birthday party 10yrs. then wish me well

    Ed's vocals on COT are only 80% of what Andy gave that song.

    Love Ed to death.
    COT is not the best match for him.

    Though i was overjoyed and nearly pissed myself when i first got to hear it at MSG.

    About as much as i pissed myself when i first heard they played it in Vegas.

    It was about time for them to make the nod.
    But looking back, i'm not really sure it met the hype i had in my head about it for over a decade.

    Okay maybe it did.
    But?
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    I hate to get technical here actually Ed wrote Betterman when he was like 12 or so... Yeah, it was played in his Bad Radio days, and then revised for Vitalogy but it was never someone else's song.

    Crown of Throns is just as personal to Andy Wood as Betterman is to Ed.

    Really it's played as a tribute to him and an homage to Mother Love Bone in general...

    Also, it's on a fanclub single already.
  • actually it predates that as he came out singing it when he was pulled out of his Mothers Love Canal

    All the COT versions I have heard are fuckin' out of this world (Gorge versions). Its a must do for the June set lists as far as I am concerned

    It is certainly not as much a "PJ song". It's got Andy Wood all over it.

    I would, however, like to see Ed sing the Chloe Dancer part. I always hate that they leave that out (other than a few musical bars).

    But there already is a kickass studio version, the MLB version. One of my favorite songs of the late 80s/early 90s. So good Cameron Crowe used it in 2 of his films.

    Kick it!

    agreed - his voice is too low for it.
    It's an art to live with pain...mix the light into grey..

    I love Crown of Thorns. I have been listening to it a lot lately. I believe it could be a huge hit if it was out on the airways. The lyrics are so deep.

  • i'd like to hear Ed sing chloe dancer.
  • Lost Dogs 2 for sure. Brother with lyrics is much better. And so many songs just didn't appear.

    I think if you wanna get really technical its very much NOT a PJ song, as I am sure it has a copyright or two under Mother Love Bone. I dont think Betterman ever had a copyright by Bad Radio. . .
