Song of the Moment: Dissident

[knee tunes]

I like the Dissident from Touring Band video

Not really sure why, but I hate this song. Definitely in my bottom 5.

[Kevin Davis]

I also love the more-or-less same thing he did on the studio version of RM.

I'm guessing by "RM" you mean "RVM," in which case I wholeheartedly agree. Live versions definitely lack the same cathartic bite for lack of it.

Oops, yes that's exactly what I mean. Bloody abbreviations. I'm tired.

The way they thrash around on the chords live, while totally ignoring the beautiful arpeggios on the choruses and the wailing lead part in the outro, really pisses me off.

It belongs on U2 Pop (you'd need to replace the lyrics, of course, but musically it's right there).

Yeah, Dissident would feel right at home alongside songs like Do You Feel Loved, Mofo, Gone, and Please.

Lounge Lizard says some strange things sometimes.

sometimes if I am spaced out in the car I start singing the lyrics to dissent over Playboy Mansion

if you could somehow delete the piano from Unthought it would tie with Faithful

[BurtReynolds]

it has that icky "'80's hangover" sound that was so prevalent in early '90's mainstream rock

That's the word I was looking for. "Mainstream".

Its the middle of the road sound you were fearing PJ might embrace back then. Luckily, they took another route.

[Juvenal]

I really don't like this song. It bores the fuck out of me.

see, this guy stip knows his music

[PHATJ]

Dissident is massively underrated by RM. Absolute classic PJ.

[TremorJam]

This song will always be associated with the Atlanta 94 show for me. It was a lot of fun collecting those singles. I've still got the box set. I gave it 4 stars. I worked with a guy who wasn't a PJ fan, but used to sing this song a lot and tried to get me to play Vs. when we worked together. He would do this whole bit with the lyrics. Hand motions and everything. It was very theatrical and quite hilarious. Good times, good times..

[knee tunes]

I love this song. I already gave it 5 stars whenever when

[tragabigzanda]

Stone's guitar work in the verses is some of his very best.

It's in my top ten.

[Strat]

Remember when he used to put such thought into his chord variations and connecting them so flawlessly ?
