Live Song of the Day #10: Pain Lies on the Riverside

Discuss.

PLOTR is everything that is great about the band at its best: deep, meaningful lyrics, kick-ass guitars (especially Pat's bass!), and straight-out, in-your-face passion for the music.

I love the idea of a baptism for the soul; one of the many reasons I love Mental Jewelry so much is the thoughtfulness and deepness that embodies almost every song on the disc. It's the album that guided me through the most intellectually/spiritually searching period of my life. Hell, just thinking about the concept of "mental jewelry" itself used to keep me awake at night.


By the way, AWESOME story, LiveONe!!

By the way, AWESOME story, LiveONe!!

Thanks! I enjoyed having the opportunity to tell it.

I hope someone steps up and assumes the role of “song of the day” administrator. You’ve done a maaa-velous job, edstipe!! I’m totally jealous of the summer-off bit, BTW!! If PLOTR ends up being the last one for the summer, you picked a goodie!
