I don't mind that song at all.

Hoy just hates it because it isn't grunge.

I don't get you people sometimes.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

It's very simple: often you like awful songs and dislike decent ones. Because you have bad taste in music.

I'll relisten to it but I remember it being pretty bland for a pop song.

At least Bruce sang with gusto over soft synths, not that crap.

Just relistened, the song still sucks.
