    lulz at post above :D

    I like WMA but it's very unique and not the best IMO
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    I like it but don't feel it really goes anywhere. So no.. not the best track on Vs. That's RVM, without a doubt.

    I love W.M.A., such a underrated song! Definitely my favorite from Vs.

    Is fucking awsome. I discovered this song years after Vs. came out. That's part of the reason I love it so much. It would be great as soundtrack over a film. It's got the "Ooh, Ooh, Ahh" towards the end that's totally reminiscent of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly theme. Very original, inspired, and underappreciated. I met Jeff Ament in 2006 and told him how much I loved the song and wished they played it in whole live. He said they usually just use it as tags but that they always try to bring back songs they've not played live in a while. Some people say they don't play it live because Matt couldn't handle it.

    I love WMA a lot, although I won't go as far as saying it's the best song off VS.

    I think WMA is awesome!
    I haven't been to any shows besides lolla so I don't know how many of you have heard it live, but I bet it sounds great.
    I should look for a show that has it. :)

    great song, the only live version I have is at the end of Daughter at Soldier field. Why dont they play "no way" off of yield? Ive never heard that live i dont think.....
  • EwankEwank Posts: 108
    I love it...at first, when I bought Vs., I didn´t like it that much, but a couple of months later I just loved it....it´s so unique, the drums are awesome, Ed´s vocals kick ass....I wish they played it fully...not just as a tag of Daughter...thank God they played the tag in Buenos Aires

    If Matt could write the drum parts for Jesus Christ Pose, then he can play WMA.

    As much as I love WMA, RVM has always been my favourite on Vs.

    I don´t know...but I believe this song must be played with a percussionist besides the drummer to give it justice....otherwise, the drums part would sound kind of weak..

    WMA is such an under-rated song. Its so deep, great recording, eds vocals and lryics are so powerful! and lets not forget jeff's rockin bass line.
