This is a fun song to drive to aggressively in heavy traffic

it would just make me so angry.

The fact that this may be the weakest song on vitalogy shows how impossibly great that album really is

Have loved it since I got it at my first show in '94. It was the 2nd tune and we were all like WTF was that?!? That's awesome.

Contrast that with now and how I hate to hear it live because it's too fast and I hate how Matt plays it.

This song kills. Glad they held this one off Vs and saved it for Vitalogy

Probably my favorite spritzy punker

I jog a lot.
"Vitalogy" is officially THE best album for roadwork.

this is an amazing example of a song that has "grungy" aggressive aesthetics but underneath is just a rock and roll song, something PJ were once masterful at

I wonder if people would like this song if it were released today

imagine the riff with SBWM's tone and that's probably what we'd get today

I think people would be sick of the three chord power punk approach and would probably hate it now too

This is a good question and point. Are we just fatigued by this style now?

I think that is part of it, yes. And also that we can't wrap our head around mid 50's rich men playing such music.
