    It's just a thing. :-) I prefer Porch over Severed Hand though.

    While I think these are two completely different songs with separate vibes, there is some validity to this comment. I remember hearing 'Severed Hand' for the first time on SNL I believe, and there was talk at the time of the same chords/similar chord progression to Porch. I had completely forgotten about that!

    Does it? To me, saying it sounds just like "Porch" is an unfinished thought. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

    While I don't think 'Severed Hand' sounds just like 'Porch', it does have the same 'A-C-G' chord pattern, though played slightly differently, during the verses. That's all.

    In my opinion, both totally kick ass songs:

    SEVERED HAND: Ultimate live song. I swear Eddie wrote those lines with visions of thousands shouting "I said YEEEEAAAHHH!!" back at him. Cryptic lyrics, awesome chorus, great energy.

    PORCH: When I think of Porch, I think of watching 'MTV Unplugged' as a kid, and Eddie just going off, writing on his arm with magic marker, singing that last chorus with more passion than I'd ever seen in any performer. I remember thinking, "What IS this?!"

    EDIT: Had to re-watch Porch Unplugged on youtube just now... still gives me goosebumps. Undeniable passion poured into that performance, how could you not become a fan after watching that?

    Please come back to MN.

    I'm dying to see what the tour itinerary is. I honestly thought 2013 was our year, then, just before it, I have a friend who "knows people" and he said he hadn't heard anything about a MN date in 2013, so I actually wasn't surprised that we didn't get a date then. Disappointed? Yes, Surprised or expecting it? No. That was why we made arrangements right away for an out of town show last fall.

    But now...I really am excited. I haven't asked my buddy if he heard anything, but I've got a good feeling...
