Breaking Bad -_-

As much as I really can't stand "Break up the Concrete," this was as close as they've gotten to the Honeyman-Scott/Farndon era as I've heard in years. It would have been even better if Hynde had kept on Martin Chambers for it. But apparently he's cool about it, so who am I to second-guess either of them?

the first few intro chords are an homage to a 50's song that i can't think of the name. WHAT IS IT?

@cubdukat see his drums at 2:18 a guy who saw them perform at the capitol theater said he had strange drums made out of bamboo and chinese plastic

[spacepatrolman]

@cubdukat yea they do that they use studio musicians and cut musicians out

[cubdukat]

@spacepatrolman He played on the tour and all the engagements supporting it, but Martin Chambers did not play on "Break Up The Concrete." He claims that Chrissie never even called him to let him know she was using Jim Keltner.

I've tried to post the link for the interview, but it won't let me.

@mc2NY This was supposed to be a song to stop animal cruelty so here we go i had a korean diplomat liveing

next door the guy across the street was a logistics expert with the red cross he did both plane crashes on long island and set up a shelter for people that had to be eacuated from downtown new york on 911, he said do you know Mr. kim I said dont call him mister he runs stop signs and people in korea cook dogs .

@cubdukat what do you mean didnt chambers play on it isnt that him in the letterman clip he looks older but its him I thought they always had the same drummer [except in the black and white video in paris trere is a black drummer but he may have been a stand in ]

@cubdukat

Totally agree that this song channels the original Pretenders energy of the first 2 LPS. I was lucky enough to see that lineup twice n the first U.S. tour. Killer!
