Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
I'll do so after I'm done going to the Anaheim show. Going to that with my OC friends tonight. Hadn't been planning on it because that drive is a nightmare at regular hours, but so it goes.
I took some pictures on my fancy schmancy Sony DSCHX7. Gil took tons of video, and a cool British dude I met there posted some pics on facebook, so we could do a straight-up megathread if so inclined.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
Anaheim show was great too, but sort of ruined by Orange County people. Some woman offered me $5 for a cigarette and told me BAD were almost as good as ICP and then told me to "limewire" a couple ICP songs. Made a BAD convert of a friend of mine who knows of Mick Jones primarily through the Gorillaz, which is cool.
The venue was really annoying about re-entry too. I needed to get my snus (aka my "quit smoking, you asshole" medication) out of the car and it was like 40 minutes before the opening band even went on, and security was like "absolutely not." Some manager let me out though and he was really cool about it.

Think she was trying to chat you up.

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.

If he had played his cards right, Beej coulda been fist-deep in some sweet, middle-aged juggalette poon right now, instead of posting on this message board.

From the Lollapalooza clip that second line sounds like;appleseed wrote: Passing 'round the plate. Me, I had to fake it.
You lay down the law, said I gotta take it. I'm gonna break 'em all.
If you're gonna rob Peter, you better pay Paul.

To me.
Great song. What bootlegs is this on, just in case we don't get a studio version?

Rob Peter Pay Paul on Fallon: http://www.mediafire.com/?efrhb38psj2alnk
mkv -> wav -> 320kbps mp3 (used foobar).
I turned the volume up. The db on Fallon was like 70.

Not sure on that first bit :-)

Damn catchy song, it was stuck in my head after two listens to the Lolla youtube clip and one listen of the Fallon show MP3 from Kaleb above.

I would say the melody is not too different to "Other 99" and the lyrics are, even more so, "Free/Kickin' In"appleseed wrote:One of you folks who have Mick's ear, please thank him for me for writing this song. I can't overstate how impressed I am by it. I feel like it was written for me. Mick was already my favorite musician, but when I heard this on Jimmy Fallon my jaw dropped open. It gave me goosebumps and misty eyes. I was just so overwhelmed by it--from the lyrics to the riffs to Mick's solo--and thankful and happy for BAD to be back with a great song that captures our times so perfectly. I'm not surprised because this is the kind of music that Mick's always written, and that's made The Clash and BAD such a fundamental part of my life. Still, I wasn't expecting an absolute lightning bolt like this song. In the few days since I've heard it I've listened to it over and over. It's a new favorite. Job well done, guys.
A truly wonderful song, ticks all the right boxes, a modern classic?
