I think the studio version is better, personally. I was glad to like the video though, and I'm also glad Boom was on it and everyone looked as if they were utterly content. First thing for a while that hasn't seemed really awkward.
They all look fully committed to it. Stone sounds fantastic and i love that he found a place for the use of his tremolo he has been riding for the past couple years. They all seem to share a look on their face of pure joy and proud being of this song.

I made an account for like two weeks, a few years back. Here's what I learned about my friends and family:
They believed every death hoax and e-mail forward they ever saw.
They appeared to think that a button that says "Like" was a valuable and effective means of communication.
They had nothing interesting to say ever. EVER.
After two weeks, I realized I had to abandon Facebook because it was making me think less of everybody I ever cared for. I'm not sure I ever even made a post.

Just so I know, is this what people thought would be "the new black" because I'm not hearing the connection. I thought the song showed restraint where unthought known and amongst the waves did not.
4 out of 5 stars.

It's a restrained stadium power ballad. I don't know how they did that but there it is.

The review on the main page confuses me, this is a straight ahead rock ballad and it is awesome. I can see how it could not be someone's thing but I love the Def Leppardness of it.
This may be a 5*

I think at least in part it's because Mike's on an acoustic for most of the song.
The really odd think is that the more i listen to it the more "Pearl Jam" this song is.
