[kj] new topic-opener any bets?

[GREG SLAWSON]

I think all the fun in "Asteroid" is in the opening and the breaks when everyone yells the title. Implant is supposed to be in 5/4 time, but that shouldn't be much trouble for real musicians...

Kazoo..?? Which rare unreleased version do you have?
All I can hear is that delightfully abrasive Geordie riff.

They opened with The Hum at the Forum in 2008 and I thought it fell a bit flat. Wanted them to
roar out of the traps but instead they sort of wandered out with their slippers on.


They should open with a frigging new song if they have the balls!

Am I in a minority thinking Asteroid is frankly bollocks? Don't understand the excitement this
song seems to generate.

To be honest I don't think Song and Dance is one of the strongest songs on FD (which I think is definitely one of the 

best Joke albums). That 2-note part in the middle that sounds like a kazoo playing, when Jaz sings "spit hit the stick"--what the hell is that?

I vote for The Hum as the surprise opener!
