    i personally think its a major faux pas to put a song on an album after so much time.

    Is there any precedent? 

    I mean other than, songs like Silver & Gold (Neil Young) being played for decades live before released on a studio album.

    But is there other examples of a single being released, and the album not coming out for a long-long time?

    Heres my hot take: I'll gladly take this song over Of The Earth any show. And for the next record.

    It is a better song live than the studio version they put out. So hopefully they re-record it to make it a bit more raw and aggressive, like the live version.

    Way better on this live version. Not their best, but short enough to make it through. Reminds me of Big Wave or Comatose.

    They kept comatose in rotation for far to long. 

    Cant Deny Me atleast has Eddie banging away on something. Which looks charming.

    Can’t Deny Me over Of The Earth? I apparently have much different taste in PJ than some of you. That’s okay, it’s all good!

     :s  You'd rather watch Ed bang a cowbell than witness a song with a better riff and a jam that's awesome live?  To each their own.

    Of the Earth is a jaw-dropper.  I saw it at Wrigley and my jaw hit the floor.... epic to say the least

    No, it’s not ok. Not even a huge fan of Of The Earth but the nicest thing I can say about Can’t Deny Me is that it’s relatively short. Ham handed politicism, Ed sounding rough, just completely plodding on all fronts.

    Sure it is. People can like whatever shitty songs they want. And dislike the good ones too if they feel so inclined.

    I was there too. And it was...fine? It's a bit meandering. Probably a good reason why they haven't been able to land on a version for the past 3 records.

    When has Eddie ever not sounded rough on Of The Earth?

    And in what way isn't Of The Earth isn't plodding. It's just that weird and endless start-stop-start-stop-start-stop rif, which Eddie screeching on top.
