alilsassy: The rules of the board are....

"Please note - ANY material posted here deemed offensive or plagiarized will be removed immediately." ... you know swearing on public boards is not allowed.

Plus when it comes to songs with swearing in them they usually do two versions. One with the words for CD's, one tamed up for the radio with alternative words used.

Great song from a great band.

 
I would like to apologize for the video I posted earlier today.  When I went to YouTube to link it, I clicked on the "official song".  I wasn't aware their were two versions of this particular song. I was assuming (incorrectly) it was the same song we had been listening to.  Again, I'm sorry...I will be much more careful in the future.

alilsassy: The edited versions usually rip the soul out of the song.Art is art,intent is all that matters.If a songwriter is (for example) trying to describe "hell" ,substituting the word "heck" destroys the essence of the messege.Pornography isn't the naked figure, it's children starving.

The Col:  Until yesterday I had never heard the "true" version. I was listening to the radio, and as many times over the past week, this song played again. I thought I would share it, but when I clicked & posted the wrong youtube link I then discovered there was a more crude version. Yes, it does change the meaning when words are changed...but I prefer the radio version.
 And to most songwriters, I think they would be ecstatic to just know their song made it to the top, even with a few adjustments long the way.
 

alilsassy: Well, I have never heard the edited version. Fortunately enough, the hypocrisy when it comes to the “necessity of protecting ourselves from offensive words in songs, nudity on TV, etc” has not reached my part of the world yet…

Pedro Martínez:   It is a much tamer version.  
    I'm thankful that we are protected on our public radio's and prime time TV, although we have the option of having unedited versions for a price. lol

I consider Phil 2nd in line to only Neil Peart, on my list of fave drummers. While he was in his prime during the 70's.I don't think people ever appreciated what an amazing drummer he was

The Col: Neil and Phil migh be quite allright, but this guy is really something :)

puupia: A real showman......his setup reminds me of the late great Cliff Davies, Ted Nugent's original drummer.I remember going to see Ted back in the 70's once, and knowing immediately he had a new drummer, just by seeing the drum setup
