I think Dave sings it too laid-back, not as aggressive and pained as the studio vocals. Really wish a live version would appear on an official release, though (not counting the "live" version with canned vocals appearing on the Useless single).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10167087225104369556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479382718529718406.post-33147276037811220662021-07-01T16:36:15.068+01:002021-07-01T16:36:15.068+01:00It was a fine return..no idea why it was dropped f...It was a fine return..no idea why it was dropped from Live Spirit CD/DVD as always goes down a storm when played..Great read as always..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479382718529718406.post-18927860267493182472021-07-01T01:28:16.840+01:002021-07-01T01:28:16.840+01:00Also, Australia released this on cassette single w...Also, Australia released this on cassette single with Barrel Of A Gun, Painkiller and the One Inch Punch Mix and Underworld Soft Mix of Barrel Of A Gun repeated on both sides.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412949268245053580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2479382718529718406.post-70109158026362843102021-06-30T21:11:15.135+01:002021-06-30T21:11:15.135+01:00What a single.

With their darkiest single ! It was more a statement than a will to top the charts (Bowie did the same in 1995). And what a b-side ! And video! And remixes ! (But, what an awful cover...).<br />Thanks again for the blog and the hilarious review ("we all had days like that !")<br />Thanks from France<br />RendalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
