I can't believe how undeniably awesome this song is...I saw the guys play live for the first time last Saturday at the HFStival...they put on one hell of a live show...Tell All Your Friends was great...and this album will be no different in the sense of greatness...I'm sure that once the CD comes out, it will be one of my most prized...This song kicks ASS.

Shaun was the better screamer. This song hooks too fast, and I think the line "I've got a bad feeling about this" just makes me want to turn this song off after three times listening to it. But I have to admit, there are parts in this song I enjoy. "Anyone will do tonight." That line sticks out to me.

Is it just me or is this song have the same style as that new one by My Chemical Romance; think its called " Its Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Fucking Deathwish"

I like this song alot. I can't wait for a video. my favorite part of this song is "I'm coming over but it never was enough
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
I've got a bad feeling about this". There is so much i don't know just he sings it really well.

john is so much better than fred. and they sing "i've got a bad feeling about this" way too much. much of the song is based on that line and it gets irritating

I agree with urowndisaster52. It's a good song, just this one line is overdone and becomes banal.

added: 07/05/2004, 04:15 PM

ZeD

The version on the warped tour CD is much better than the version on the CD. However I still findit to be one of the best songs on this CD. Great buildup to the end (like all tbs songs), and a very addictive song to listen to (when I first heard it I must have listened to it 50 times in the first week). And I don't think the "I've got a bad feeling" line is overdone, as it sets up the rest of the song beautifully.

added: 07/09/2004, 04:25 PM

SwissArmyRomance

i think zed said it perfectly, that one line set up the rest of the song, it wouldn't be the same without it.

The song is decent. I'm more partial to the "anyone will do tonight" line because most people can probably relate it to a time or two in their life. I know I can. Comparing this album to TAYF, you will come to the conclusion that this album is crap. If they never made another album, you'd listen to this and think "Hey, they're not half bad." Decent, but not TAYF glory. I'm still listening.

added: 07/28/2004, 04:00 AM

FakeSmile182

i love this song, and theres just something about that line, "to hell with you and all your friends" which makes it even better. i think its the best song on the cd.

added: 07/28/2004, 11:43 AM

PinkJelly

as the lead song for the album it is kinda sorry. the song is awesome up until you realize that 'ive got a bad feeling about this ' is said 500 times over. They should have at least used some other lines because its too redundant, and it gets old really quickly

to hell with you and all your friends

The “Redemption song”. Move tracks 1 and 2. This should be the opener. A great single and good choice for the Warped Tour 04’ CD. Also, this is a great showcase song for America (Ex.: Jimmy Kimmel Live). Fred Mascherino demands the audiences admiration and ends the song with an angelic shout. He sounds awesome live in this song! Very catchy tune, fun to sing-a-long to as well.

Taking Back Sunday's first hit, Cute Without The E is a whole hell of a lot better than this hit single is. This is just your plain average emo song with a monotonous chorus. At least Cut From the Team had something special to it.

I am going to have to agree with Joseon204. This so is exaggeratingly over-rated, as is the new album. Definatly not as good without John, but this song is OK. If it wasnt for mtv this song wouldn't be getting the hype it is. Which makes me sad, this band deserves better than the prepfull, hyper-active good charlotte fans.

added: 09/22/2004, 07:09 PM

wakingdown: I like GC, man. Haha...bt no offense taken. This song is quite overrated, but the album as a whole is really great...I just got sick of this song quite quickly...

added: 09/24/2004, 07:47 AM

Jochem

I heard this song on the radio and some parts were bareable but most of it was shit. I don't get why these guys are so Fucking populair. There is nothing special about. 1:The singer has a vrappy voice 2: they ''play rock'' but there isn't even one guitarsolo in any song of them i've heard. 3: The sound they have is really nothing special. ALL these bands sounds exactly the same. I've they didn't said it on the radio that this was TBS i would have never know. I mean it could have been Blink, Yellowcard or what so-ever. Like Legend said This band doesn't matter

added: 09/25/2004, 12:50 PM

Cratic

The thing about it is, that most ppl who listen to shit like this has never had the opportunity to listen to real music like zeppelin, so they really don't know what they're missing. And yeah, i tried and tried to see what is so special about these guys (and all emo bands) and just can't figure it out. They have NO talent. If you want to hear what music CAN be, download Since I've Been Loving You, or The Battle of Evermore by Led Zeppelin.

added: 09/25/2004, 07:55 PM

Sage	emo is a whole different catagorie from the typical older rock..its true that they do sound the same and that bugs me but i dig these guys cause im an emo loser added: 09/26/2004, 04:55 PM

Anthony B

Why does everyone have to talk shit about TBS and all these other emo bands? If you all think the song sucks then dont fucking listen to it. Wow, so there are no guitar solo's in it, big fucking deal. Guitar solo's dont make a song good. I think TBS is one of the best bands around right now, and their lyrics are terrific. But he does say Ive got a bad feeling about this way too much in this song. And i agree, a lot of Emo bands do sounds alike, but then again a lot of metal bands sound alike and a lot of punk bands start alike. So do all rap artists to, not just emo bands.

added: 09/29/2004, 09:15 PM

Jochem

With rappers you ussualy hear which guy it is (and which one suck more), their really is a major Differents in Metalbands(except for those deathmetal bands but they also suck) but in Punk and Emo they really all sounds the same. And I don't listen to it because i want to. The play it a lot on the radio and I don't put it out because of the one stupid song.

added: 09/30/2004, 05:41 PM

Cratic

Yeah. A good rock band doesn't sound like anything else out there. That's what makes them so good. A band has to differentiate themselves from everything else. That's what made bands like led zeppelin, pink floyd, nirvana, guns & roses, metallica, etc. so good. And also, a good guitar solo can make a shit song like this, and make it incredible. The thing is though, is that music is on a real downslide right now, and their arn't really any good bands out right now (with a few exceptions). It's eaither rap, pop music, or emo, and the few bands out that are actually making good rock music arn't getting the exposure that they need.

added: 09/30/2004, 06:44 PM

Anthony B

While a guitar solo can help improve a song, you cant rely on just the solo to make a song good. Also, i cant really picture a guitar solo in this song, i just dont think it would fit

added: 10/01/2004, 08:54 PM

Cratic

I never said that they rely on the solo, I said that a solo can make a song ten times better than what it actually is. You think Stairway to Heaven would have got have of the recognition it got if the solo wasn't in it?

added: 10/01/2004, 11:13 PM

legend

Cratic. i do agree with the good rock band thing, but there isnt a band that sounds as gay and pop as Bowling For Soup currently out, so does that make them a good rock band?

added: 10/04/2004, 06:53 AM

Reg

3/4 of Metallica's 'guitar solos' blow fucking ass and you all suck their dick like it's the fountain of youth. Guitar solo's are supposed to enhance a song, not be forced into every song and down your throat at every turn. This music, while it blows extensivly, also doesn't have room for solo's. It wouldn't fit, and it's a null point trying to say that an emo band should do something original for their genre.

added: 10/04/2004, 01:51 PM

Cratic

Bowling for soup fucking blow. I don't understand why there as to be ANOTHER stupid pop band out. And I never said anything about how good metallica's guitar solo's are, I just said that they differentiated themeselves from everything else out at the time, and thats what made them so popular. They were putting out good rock music, that not many ppl heard before. I just wished that I would have grown up in the seventies when music was real and good.

added: 10/04/2004, 03:05 PM

Jochem

I agree the 70's was the best music era ever. The only good new bands from the moment are coldplay, A perfect cirlce Velvet revolver, Audioslave and the darkness. All other new bands really blow

OMgosh legend, cratic and cobain...that whole convo went wwwaaayyyy too far. Where's this avril award convo located? By the way, I've heard Fred dish out guitar solos live. Also, if we're judging music by solos, or difficulty of guitar, then John fucking Gayer would be among the best ever, cause his shit is hard to play. But, that doesn't change the fact that he licks giraffe balls and eats koala nipples from my brown eye. Also, please do not justify any music genre with the argument of rap being anything less than pure trash. If you can't play any instruments then you suck. TBS has awsome lyrics and it's all very addictive.
