lol i only tolerate this song because i liked the SOAD version, but i hate all music featuring a keyboard for its main instrument; guitar, bass, drums, and vocalist, all u need for a band, and based off of breexcentric's comment i expect a little bit of hate for this lol

Hey don't get me wrong, and well looking back on my post i guess theres only one way to get it. Of course i appreciate the keyboard doesn't mean i have to like it though =) and i always honor the originals. Even when im not a big fan of the mainstream 80's =D
