    I read something where the guy thinks he's gonna go see his dealer, but all he gets is an awesome rock song.

    The joke from a few years ago.
    Gonna See My Friend -- Go to get the drugs.
    Got Some -- He's got the drugs.
    The Fixer -- Fixes one up with the drugs.
    Johnny Guitar -- The dealer.
    Just Breathe -- When you're on the drugs, or can't get the drugs, just breathe.
    Amongst The Waves -- "Riding high...amongst the waves..."
    Unthought Known
    Supersonic
    Speed of Sound
    Force of Nature
    The End -- Blackout? Overdose?

    But, then someone else said that Ten was the "drug album."
    Once -- Did them once and got hooked
    Even Flow -- Through the veins
    Alive -- Thankfully, you're still alive
    Why Go -- See the dealer?
    Black -- Blackout
    Jeremy -- The name of the dealer
    Oceans -- (I forget.)
    Porch -- Where you do the drugs
    Garden -- Alternative drug-doing place?
    Deep -- Like I need to explain this one?
    Release -- The sense of the feeling of being high

    Saw it in Van '13 and it was great, maybe it just fits better on the west coast :wink:
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Hell yeah! I'd love to see them play it. But the song can't be about a guy just going to see one of his friends to hang out? It has to be about drugs? :lol: Maybe it is though!

    I'm up for hearing Backspacer front to back. It's the only album I've heard less of live than Yield.

    We will only get shit on from the half-fans so don't worry about it.

    I don't understand why people don't like Backspacer or any album for that matter. Like wat.
    They can play any song anytime and I'd be happy. Sure there are songs I'd like to hear more than others but still.
