Wohooo! So much love for this song. Was one of the first ones I got into on the album actually

The performance didn't turn out that great...Fallon sounded a bit off.

It was just really boring. Majority of the material was Handwritten, only 2 '59 Sound songs and only 1 American Slang song. They sounded solid enough but it was just really boring to watch, especially at a show with more energetic bands like NOFX and Less Than Jake.

Fair enough, that was my worry. I'm definitely not going to pick up any tickets for their UK dates now, hate it when bands go off on ego-trips on their new albums and refuse to play fan favourites. I know you'e an artist, but this is also your job, do it well.

Agreed. They had a similar amount of time at this show as what they had at Lollapalooza (I think that was the festival?) and I watched the stream and they had SUCH a balanced setlist so that's what I expected, and then for this it was majority Handwritten. Bleh.

One of my favorite songs on the album, but I am nervous as to how it will translate live. They should pick up the tempo on it a bit to keep Brian's vocals a bit lighter.

i'm still trying to figure out the meaning behind this song.

Oh, so you saw the Descendents too, I assume?
