    What????  Looking for shock value or something?  The music from Mike on this is nothing short of amazing (even if inspired by the legends).
    The only thing shocking is that everyone finds 6 other songs on this disc to be weaker than this piece of crap.

    I'm guessing you don't play guitar, do you?

    I've already stated that I'd rather they just let Mike wail for three and a half minutes.  Yes, I know the guitar is what it's about.  But attempting to make it into anything but an instrumental song with Ed's unintelligible rambling and repeated use of the word "wayside" absolutely kills YL to the point I hope I never have to hear it ever again.

    I don't really see what's so special about the guitar in this song vs anything else Mike does, anyway?  I don't really like the riff all that much, either.  Not my style, not my taste.

    I don't dislike it quite as much as you do, but I still totally feel where you're coming from! I can hardly believe there are people who think it's better than NAIS!

    Can you explain exactly how you feel about this song.  Your point isn't really coming across.  Do you like it or not?

    Theres also miles apart between the studio version of YL which is godlike in its moodyness and the live version.

    Are you fucking kidding me YL is going to make it through to another round. That is just straight fucked up. It should have been gone round one. Worst song they ever did.
    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.

    There is a reason Rival is not on this record at all.
