    While I believe it would have fit very well on the album, I understand this. It takes a long time for the song to really get moving and there's no way somebody from Island was gonna like it. It's a top 10 song though.

    Aaaachem!

    Not only should it have been on the album proper, it should have been a hit single. I never understood. Maybe it was too similar to other singles? It's catchy as balls.

    Weird that Brian's favorite songs are all b-sides

    its about 10x better of a song than Desire, which should have never made the album.

    Lol. No complaints there. I think that is the one forgettable song on that album. I just don't like Blue Dahlia any better than it either though.

    This breaks my fucking heart man. The song was right. Do the song justice. Once they're out they seldom get another spot to be done right a second time.
