Are you wrong in the head?

Love it! First heard it on that boot from Australia and it was called 100 Pacer. Jeff and Stone have never played it as well as they did at that show.

Slow or fast, Lukin is fucking perfect. This slow version is fantastic.

Ok he's not even trying anymore he's literally just yipping like a dog and going "ASAYANAMAYSAYANAMAYANAMAYANAYA"

(the song starts at like 1:25)

[E.H. Ruddock]

mjd, have you heard slow Lukin yet?

[mikejasond]

I think I heard it once when watching the MSG 2010 boots. But I dont remember it that well it was pretty cool but its not such a great song that it needs to be made better. Like its not exactly lyrically good or anything in my opinion. Im not doubting its better but Im just wondering why bother instead of playing a better song?

Ive always thought this chorus is insanely cheesy and it gets worse when you slow it down and sing it with so much weight, even if the song sounds nice.

[mikejasond]

I DO Think the band should experiment like this more often with other songs

yeah but Stone wouldn't be able to play that song slow amirite

[mikejasond]

No he's probably good at that one because he just has to bang out NANANANANANANANANANANANANANA at the same dynamic every note.

Edit: Oh you said slow. No probably not.

i know exactly where the first verse of this song takes place. kinda weird, it's the grocery store i go to quite often that ed refers to.

You're dead to me.

Lukin is a good song lyrically. The lyrics are also amazingly candid given that period in the band and Ed's life. It's a great snapshot of that time.

MJD is just the best. He's who I'd be if I was just a little more fearless and gave a few less fucks.

Stip you are my favorite poster

mjd, were you aware of the Chris Cornell song tournament going on in the Other Bands forum?
