I'm the 1st person to say and understand everyone is different and everyone has different tastes. But as Live fans I'm really interested on feedback on how you can't like this song? I never understood why there was so much contempt for this disc, but yet such a affinity for the abortion that was V? I'm not stirring the hornets nest here, I'm really just curious. Like I Do came up on shuffle mode on my drive home and I cranked the shit out of it and loved it. So just wondering why so many people dismiss this song like it was Call me A Fool or some P.O.S. from SFBM.

OK, go....

People generally like "Like I Do", solely because it was a song that the band actually collaborated on. V is heavily disliked because it was an abortion. BOP was mostly the EK show, and the music suffered. Seriously, Heaven is a shitty song. As is Run Away. They were terrible singles, and were some of the final striking blows that killed Live. Like I Do would have actually been a good song to release, but that never happened.

Heaven was a major hit for the band worldwide, and the BOP tour that coincided with the single was a sell out in the majority of cities. Heaven is also actually one of my favorite LIVE songs and it holds up today IMHO. Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it a "shitty song".
