I'll agree with you on whatever.

It's one of those ruff and tuff songs that sounds cool but loses its appeal after 15 minutes. Same with OTIF. Used to love it, don't anymore. I'll have to disagree with everything else though.

Gail I was at show after Gravity was released and they played Neon Crossing. Even if you don't love the song, (My ex GF hated it) When they played that live, it totally turned the song around for her. She loved it after that...

But I do love that song, so I can't complain. It was super duper party pooper freakin awesome live though... I must say.

I've never seen them live. I hope they start touring soon... and come to St. Louis (or within an hour or so of it). By soon, I don't mean next month... I know that won't happen. But if the August thing is true, that is good enough for me.
I just wanna get out,

That's interesting about OMA, Gail, because you can't stand anything about it, and i think it's about perfect :freak:

In a weird way though, it's beaten out by Naveed and The Wonderful Future as my favorite OLP song, despite its perfection :freak:

I saw Neon Crossing live, but I didn't own Naveed at the time so I didn't know it. :neutral:

Yes I know what an EBOW is. I thought at first it was a whistle he had hanging from the mic stand.

What is an EBOW? Hand-held, battery-powered electronic bow for guitar . It is used instead of a pick for sound effect.( Direct String Synthesis)

I know Steve used this only on OMA. Here are a few photos of him with it.



Image
the thing hanging from Steve's mic stand(green) is the EBOW

these are the only photos I can find of him actually using it. Watch the DVD(if you have it and you will see)

P.S. as for Neon Crossing. If you want to get an interesting live version, try to get one from 1995-1997 accoustic. I forgot what show, but I know it is on the hub.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again

I don't know what it was called. MY friend put it on a CD for me. All I know is they do Starseed afterwards. I love how they introduced it.

I think it was radio thought cause I could swear Raine says isn't it early to be up or something like that.

I feel love, I feel a power. It comes to me in the darkest hour. And I want to feel it again
