edited September 2019 in The Porch
I was listening to the Sao Paulo 2013 show in glorious flac-hd today.. and you know what? Olé fuckin rocks. I was naturally headbanging to it and really enjoying it.. and the lyrics for some reason makes me chuckle, especially the knuckleheads bit.. and Ed in this versions is raucous..
So, yeah.. changed from "it sucks" to "good energetic live song" for me. Try it when you do some running..

    I've always thought it was a good tune. The hate it gets is over blown. Its fine for what it is.

    Did you possibly hit your head on a door while headbanging?

    Uhm, no, not today at least...
    But now that I think about it, last sunday my nephew made me listen to a lot of that trap garbage the kids listen to these days.. that and I forgot to put some sunblock on my head (yes, on my head) while we were at the beach.. uhm. I'll report back in a few days when the damage done by the sun and that goddamn trap shit is vanished.

    I never understood all the hate on Olé.  I always liked it.  It’s fun.  Personally I think it’s better than about 2/3 of the songs on Lightning Bolt.  It is also blows Can’t Deny Me away.

    This thread made me listen to for the first time in probably over 5 years. I remember hating it, now its okay. I think it says more about what we’ve come to expect than anything about the song. 
    Was this BS era? I thought it was, but seems like an Avocado vibe to me.

    Same here. I’ve always thought the hate for this one has been way overblown.

    The whole Sao Paulo 2013 show was broadcasted in full awesome 1080p quality. It was the first full show from PJ to publicly circulate in HD. Apart from fan made projects, the only other one is Sao Paulo 2018.
