    YES it is.

    I mean, I love it how mike changes his solos EVERY TIME, it is not the same and that is what I like about this song and Eddie, OMG, how he puts his own emotions into that song like 'we belong together' oh MAN, it doesn't get any heavier than that.:)

  • I think Nothingman is as much depressing as Black... Both are equally sad... and I love both of them!

  • I STILL can't listen to that song.

    I remember going to the Buffalo show, and I was having a great time, and then all off of the sudden I hear the opening notes for Black and it was like being hit by a truck. I just kinda sat down and held my head in my hands for a few minutes.

    fucking suck I am :p
    I'll paint a scene
    from memory,
    so I'll know who murdered me.
    It's a vain pursuit
    but it helps me to sleep
  • I'll agree with you there strat...it's an amazing song. There is so much emotion behind the song that I don't think I'll ever figure out. But even though it's such a deep, personal song, everyone connects to it in some way. Every fan. Now that, that is an epic.

    I've been skipping this song lately brings too many sad emotions for me right now.

    IT is a great song though just hard to listen to right now in my life

  • I heard this tune live, and it was such
    a rollercoaster of emotions! I almost cried,
    but they played some cool little laughing raindrop
    type notes that made me have to smile.
    I get shivers all through me listening to the
    boot. Thanks PJ!!

    such a beautiful beautiful song, brings me to tears quite often
  • Black definitely can bring me to tears but lately Nothingman has really been getting to me, especially the Touring Band version. But when black is live and mixed with just the right amount of sorrow, it's amazing. A lot of my own memories are mixed up in Black.

  • Black is really an emotional song and I guess most of the people were going, are going or will be going through the stage in their life when they can somehow relate to it...
    I know I was born and I know that I'll die
    The in-between is mine
  • black is the single most amazing song ever written for me in terms of emotion. that song is 100% pure heartache. I can relate to it on so many levels, and its the only song that has ever made me cry............i have a hard time imagining my life without that song.

    Thank you PJ!!!! Thank you so much!

    WWWHHHYYYYYYYY, WWWWWHHHHYYYYYYY CAN'T IT BE MEEEEEEEEEEEE.

    it just can't. I've sang this song at the top of my lungs many times, often scaring those around me.
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.
