    Out of everything on Into the Wild, I like Hard Sun the least. I really don't understand why it gets so much radio play. It's not a bad song, but there's so much on the album that is better.

    it is the most radio friendly song, that is why.

    Hard Sun pre-show opener or slower tempo portion of show. I love YL as a closer.I never understand how people get tired of a song that allows the guitarist who everyone screams out for to improvise into absolutely anything and never finish the song the same way; unless he's tagging YL with "The Star Spangled Banner".

    We are used to YLB by now, I wouldn't mind a different song but not Hard Sun

    please no ITW songs.

    Some Smile, Fuckin Up, or (heaven forbid) Indifference would be nice. I don't need to hear YL again.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    I don't Hard Sun will be played but I'd be willing to bet some Eddie solo stuff makes its way to the encores.

    Could be No More rather than an ITW song though

    no way, I love YLB as a closer. That one never gets old live for me.

    perfectly put. i have started to dislike the song immensely b/c all it signifies to me is the end of the show - which is always a bummer :(

    You hit the nail right on the head with your comment.

    Ok well if not hard sun then something else. It's funny that people want the same thing and not something a little different. They must eat the same ceral every morning and think it cant get any better then this. LOL

    Gotta say - for those at the EV gigs, Hard Sun rocked as a closer - and I don't give a shit about the backing track.

    I'd take a hard sun anyday!!!!!
    Hard Sun, Pilate, Guaraneed, Society, No More, No Ceiling, Setting Forth, No Way, SMILE!!!!, and it could go on and on BECAUSE... BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECAUSE:
    there are so many goddamn songs they should be playing instead of ending 90% of every show for the past 10 years with YLB... and the other 10% with Indifference, Baba, or Rockin..

    SWITCH UP... for me personally, I am losing interest... 29 shows in 06... 2 in 08... maybe I'll stay for a song in 2010...
