one of about a handful of studio tracks that i deem outright bad. not even good enough to call paint-by-numbers. |

I think that of all the studio “real” songs, Gone is the worst. I don’t think I can say anything that hasn’t been said already. I think the studio version is extra painful. The acoustic guitar in the intro is far too slow. Musically, it COULD be a good song, but it’s just so awful lyrically. Fuck you, Gone. |

it's ed working in complete sleep mode. how it didn't forever stay as a demo is dumbfounding, especially considering they had (at least) Let It Ride and Cold Confession and Of The Earth in their back pocket. |

Gone was the canary in a coal mine for post S/T - simple demos, less work, less collaboration, more BOB. |

I use to like "Gone" then I realised it's probably the reason "let it ride" was left off the album. Now I'm not such a big fan. The AOL version kicks ass. But that's about it |

These are some of my least favorite lyrics in the entire PJ catalog. "The lights of the city only look good when I'm speeding"; "take me for one last ride"; "the gas in my tank feels like money in the bank" -- these sound like taglines from a "Fast and the Furious" straight-to-DVD sequel. |
