Biggest wish(es) for the new Live record! Options

[thefunkyredcaboose]

With the guys finishing up the record this week (wish we knew if that was recording, mixing, or mastering!), what are your biggest wishes for the record? I'll get started:

-I want to hear PD play slap bass. He is so freaking good at it and I think it adds a whole new dimension to Live's sound.

-I'd like to hear CT give us one more solo like Honest Man. I know he doesn't like solo'ing, but that solo is awesome and perfect for the song, just like his Graze solo.

-One re-recorded b-side that we've never heard. I don't want an album of this, but I'd love it if they dropped one b-side on the record like New City, Change (I know we've heard it but I'd love a good quality version), or Wash the Blood Away. That would be smoking.

-Good album art. This is subjective, I know, but the last 3 Live albums have had really uninspired art. I'd love to see something truly unique like TDTH or TC.

I just want some damn music that has balls. Not that bullshit pussy "rock" we were stuck with for the past 10+ years.

this is an important point. But, even if you set aside the pussy "I love Jesus/My Daughter/LoveLoveBlahBlahBlah" crap that Ed wrote, their recent "rockers" are still pretty generic. MJ had as much funk as it did rock. TC was thoughtful and angry. SS was well composed from beginning to end. Even TDTH, which was the start of Ed's "I LOVE ALL THE THINGS" phase had some great and interesting music.

New +Live+ needs to be as interesting as it is rocking.

Yes, TDTH had some great rockers, but we know the versions which came with the album were way subdued. CT has stated this. There are many other rockers which were recorded for TDTH. While TDTH was a good/great record, it could have been even greater.
