Time Bomb - Tell Me This Doesn't Sound Better

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQWXMWC4e08

When you hear this, and then compare it to the album version, you have to be disappointed. That's all were trying to say. Yea, the final cut is still good, but the song that you hear in this video was amazing. Coulda been an encore closer.

    It doesn't sound better. Time Bomb actually goes somewhere, that shit is one of the most overrated pieces of music that is dick sucked over on this site, including in nDMBc.

    how can you say that that music doesn't go anywhere? it was one verse!! of course it goes nowhere because it didn't have a chance to change. and its obviously a very early recording of it considering its only guitar and there are no horns or any other instruments. you have no idea what the rest would have sounded like. you can't compare it to a fully produced song as say that the produced song is better. of course its going to sound better.

    Just out of curiosity, do you think you are being clever, funny or original by devoting so much space to telling us Dylan can't sing??

    I thought it was a funny picture, and I only did it because Buzz likes him so much, and he's always got Dylan avatars and whatnot. So I did it as a joke for him. Too many people didn't get the last avatar I had, so I decided to pick a new one.

    Then why am I getting shit for saying Time Bomb is better? Someone else made the comparison, and I told him that Time Bomb was better.

    What does that have to do with anything? It's tight as fuck, whoopdie-damn-doo! Time Bomb is one of the best things DMB have done in their careers. This is a little snippet that's kinda cool, but no one would really give a shit about it if it wasn't unrelased or anything like that.

    It sounds like ten seconds of a song muffled by YouTube. How is that comparable to a completed song? Not to mention the fact that the 'pace' song, as it's come to be called, isn't even Time Bomb. It's similar, but it starts on the same chord and that's about it. Different timing, different progression, etc.

    You're comparing a small sound clip to a finished song, that is amazing.

    don't think that's Time Bomb, and it's pretty forgettable, IMO, regardless.

    This is like the comparison between BS and LWS, with everyone saying how much better LWS is, except instead of getting the entire LWS to judge with we got minute and a half of Monkey Man

    Agreed, it's like they decided to cut the balls off this song. I suppose that makes its direction "clearer," to borrow from Rob's bag of production concepts, but it also makes it less dmb, because its energy and emotion seem so much more contrived the way it is now.

    Wait, I take it back. Just finished the video. My guess: that jam is from the studio Shotgun, which we will get on the forthcoming EP, and in the future Shotgun will transition into Time Bomb, since its intro is just the jam from Shotgun. I'd put money on this.

    Time Bomb is the worst song on Big Whiskey. And it aint close.

    And yes, the tempo and strength of whatever was in that Litho video is better than whatever Time Bomb turned out to be.

    I seldom say this, but I think it fits here. On an album with shit like Shake Me Like a Monkey, Dive In, Funny the Way it Is, and You and Me; Time Bomb is the worst song on the album BY FAR? Those are all good songs, but they couldn't lick Time Bombs taint (if it had one.)

    OP posted the wrong video. There is another video of what time bomb was where roi is talking about drums, percussions, hand claps....and dave says "we can slam it closed and go into that violin/saxophone thing"...thats whats disappointing. that clip had so much promise.

    Time Bomb would be an awesome Foo Fighters song. Its a bad DMB song. I'll take any of the four songs you listed over that anyday...although Dive In is a tough one to defend as well.

    The bottom three songs on the album are Funny, Dive In, and Time Bomb, in that order.

    if you're really listening, you can hear the exact same horn line in the beginning of time bomb. especially the april sessions version. it got chopped down to that, then it seemed to get chopped down even further on the final version.

    this is an absolute joke. You and Me is by far the worst song.
