First one ain't an opening track, but yeah, awesome song.

So you are talking about the opening tracks of the studio album

I thought we could write the tracks which we would like them open.

I always liked They Don't care about us and I guess it was the 2nd song at the Munich show, so it always went well.

It's a load of old pretentious bollocks and you know it.

Art (including music) by its very nature is self indulgent and pretencious.  Why strum a 6 string piece of metal and bang drums to make a point when you could say it in plain language.

A Beatles fan defending Revolution 9 is like a Jacko fan defending his kiddy sleepovers. When you've reached that stage you know you've lost all objectivity.

In the words of Sir Paul 'what are you talkin' about, it's great, it's The Beatles White Album, shut up!'

Everything John Lennon ever did was fantastic.  When he walked down the street and gobbed on the pavement it was fantastic, when he took a shit it was fantastic, I mean he's John Lennon for crying out loud!

I freely admit total and utter un-objectivity regarding The Beatles.  You think Revolution 9 is bad, I've listened to Two Virgins and The Wedding Album all the way through.  More than once even.  I don't even think John and Yoko did that!

You could always try necrophilia? It's not like you haven't been tempted before...
