Lightning Rod Live in Zagreb (pretty good quality)
Ok, ok, ok. I don't wanna get laughed at here but I'm not sure if this video had been posted on here or not. I finally found it on youtube and was pretty excited. Anyway, I figured I would start a thread for anyone who had not seen the video (including myself) If it has been posted, well my bad. But here it is....

What is the big deal about this song? I can think of at least ten songs they rarely play that would be better.
Set lists are tough because you come up with this structure of how the songs are going to go from one to the next, but at the same time, you have to be spontaneous and take requests and change the set list at the drop of a hat.

Oh well. Still pretty excited about it. I guess I just wanted to shout it from on top of a mountain but I didn't have a mountain. I had a thread on offspring.com.

Oh, yeah. This has been discussed, and there have been many threads about it, some of which were even created by me. I don't mind talking about Lightning Rod live in Zagreb, though, everytime I think about it, it makes me happy.

Not really but again, I don't get what all the fuss over the song is. I think they have better B-sides than this but maybe that's just me.

As you said, maybe that's just you. But what you have got to keep in mind, though, is that people -- you know, human beings other than yourself, people who don't always think the way you do -- have wanted this for a while, and worked really hard for it. If you remember correctly, there even was a campaign for the song to be played, which could only indicate the demand from the fans for the song to be played, and the band kindly played the song, showing how awesome they are, and yet you come up with this "it's not such a great song" bullshit? You may not like it so much, but please respect your fellow fans. People do tend to disagree with other, that is fine, I think everybody agrees with that, or at least should agree with that. What I'm not fine with, though, is disrespectm and I think most everybody agrees with me on that one, too.

Looks like "What we've got here is a failure to communicate" Broham? I said I don't see what the big deal is and I think there are better rare songs for them to play. Had I said FUCK ANYONE WHO LIKES THIS SONG!, well that would be disrespect.

Despite the fact that English isn't my native language, I was able to fully understand what you said, and I really do mean what I said in my first post.
