Oh man, just played Spin the black circle again...love to play that song - even on an acoustic guitar...

Other favs from mine are: Light Years (nice chord progression), Off he Goes, Do the Evolution, Nothingman, Glorified G....

    Just started playing I Got Id. Love it.

    Now I just sit in front of the TV....unplugged....playing the intro over and over. :p

    ....slowing it down for more drama.....or speed it up just for fun.

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    too many to list really green disease is under rated though and much better live (from the dvd and cd's anyway) than studio

    i love playing animal loud although i can't do ther little fill thing properly between the A in the verses but i give it a go...when it's loud you can't really tell the difference anyway

    Alive is great for soloing but I love playing long road on my acoustic and singing it too :) even if my voice sucks...

    Alive is a killer to play on electric.

    Also I really like to play Better man, nothingman, Immortality on acouctic and sing with... But my voice sucks, so I don´t do it so often because I need to be alone to do it.. :P
