    My 8 year old nephew's favorite song so we end up playing lots of different versions...he keeps saying "another time!" And I dial up a different boot....sometimes 5-6 times in a row.

    I love when they play go and animal early in the show. Awesome song!
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Five five, five against one. Great song at #2 with go opening. I think it gets lost when release or long road opens, too drastic of a differance.

    I've always thought Animal was one of the most overrated PJ songs ever.

    It's ok at best.

    Been to the bathroom while played before...

    Going to bathroom when songs like Animal or Evenflow are played is like changing the channel when Lebron James handles the ball.

    Will never forget the first time I watched in complete shock that legendary MTV performance, like 20 years ago.

    With that expression on Eddie's face like he wants to spit (which he does a lot actually, as you know) and other guys with long hairs running around.

    This song will never get old for me.

    I actually love the tension after Release, for that 5-10 seconds, you know something heavy is coming and it will explode around. I think it is a great mix.

    I agree, but I also like when it pops up somewhere unusual. Like Buenos Ares this year when it was in the encore.

    When I saw PJ is costa rica in 2011, they opened with Go and Animal. That gave me a whole new respect for this band and those two songs. It was insane. Ive never seen a crowd go so ape shit.

    A number of things I dig about that, not the least of which was it just brought me back to where I was when I watched that live and my head exploding for some new material. Great memory!

    Go > Animal at Manchester 2 last year was incredible... :D I'd take that at every other show and not get bored with it! ;)

    Always loved Animal in the first 3 or 4 songs, don't like it as opener though. Great song which deservers it's own thread!! ;) About time Dimi.... :mrgreen:

    I've always thought that the sound production on VS was phenomenal, and Animal is a fine testament to show for it! The song is so intense and so driven. You can hear all the anger, all the rage, and all the power coming out of each and every one of the guys! Love it! :thumbup:
