I heard that this song was about how we were knee deep in Vietnam but people acted as if nothing was happening out of the ordinary in their everyday lives--just another news story--is that right?
Thats right a time when they didnt stomp around the stage with their hats on sideways and pants falling off their rear ends.....TALKING about bitches and hos and killin cops. Like the riff raff of today does.
When I first heard it I thought this was a youtube fan trying to play it on their home piano. I had never heard the long version in my entire life. Funny, how I have made a point to listen to it 4 times now.
its classic! seriously? green day? wanna be emo gay rock? they need to learn what music is! they need to grow a pair and stop wearing eyeliner like homos! go chicago!
It is supposed to sound a bit mixed up, it is used often in classic music. Have a good sounding chord, then a few that sound off, then a come back into good sounding ones. Creates some nice contrast.
Thats a little harsh megachababe. This intro is kind of long but I still like it. By the way I like stuff like Lamb of God, Mudvayne, Slipknot, and a lot of heavy stuff, but I love this stuff too.

Haven't heard this is a long time.. Still sounds fresh and alive. This is one of the albums you had in your collection in the late 60's / early 70's. I still have my vinyl althought I don't have a turntable.
I hadn't heard this intro.....before thanks for posting. Best band ever for their genre.....They kicked ass bigtime..........Buy their greatest hits and turn their music up full blast in your convertible as you drive along anywhere.....
wtf i never poste that.... I like this song....sorry to everyone who i offended but like i said that wasnt me now i just need to figure out who was on my acount :(
Thanks for the post. This brings back such wonderful memories. I was getting my Learners' Permit to drive and even my Mom liked it!
