Holy shit! Wow, I've got the live version of this song now, and it's truly amazing. Wow, what a frickin fight song. So damn classic rock. These guys were raised good.
;D
Any clue if they'd play this for a show on an upcoming tour? Any clue if they would if we hounded em like hell for it?
I couldn't let this post drift away with no replies. I thinking song kicks serious ass. I love the dueling guitar solos in the middle and the lyrics are full of angst. Has there ever been a thread to decipher the lyrics to this song?
y'all been a wondrous, truly wondrous.
Now here's another hit off our '87 compilation...
we were partyin down
one saturday night
Billy walks up to me
says its time to fight
...
bein all loud
bein an asshole
... in the crowd
so a friend walks up to me
says "make that billy bleed
me and my girls are gettin sick
you better make him leave or we gonna quit"
oh billy billy billy

That's as good as i can get

the '87 greatest hits tour was in 2000
must be a show from that year
ps. yeah, it's an mmj song
pps. yeah, hound em like hell, lil billy should make another appearance!
Woah, Riny. You think if I bombard em with emails, it might show up? Any clue if Bo and Carl have rehearsed with em on this one?
QuoteWoah, Riny. You think if I bombard em with emails, it might show up? Any clue if Bo and Carl have rehearsed with em on this one?
well, bombarding them with emails might nog be the best thing ;) it's probably not on the rehearsal schedule right now but keep this thread alive and who knows what'll happen in the future...

you gotta lotta guuuuuuuuuuuts
if i was seventeeeeen
i'd really fuck you uuuuuuuuuuuup
Yeah, I love this song!
The show is Leeuwarden (The Netherlands), indeed somewhere in 2000 (used to be on John's ftp).
That's another verse, too.
People they change
People they grow up
People they do things
I ain't speaking of
But the greatest thing
I ever ever saw
...??...??...??
Great song, add it to the list boys!
I went hoarse in my car today singing along with this one. I played it like four times in a row. Then I had to get out and act civil.
I want Lil Billy too. Please. Please Please Please.
I'm just listening to this one for the first time. Holy shit.
This song is fucking insane, in a good way.
I concur. I just heard it for the first time about ten minutes ago.
And it made me get LA Woman in my head. How weird...
That's really a "pump you up" song. I want to kick somebody's ass now.
I'm gonna go punch the intern....
joke
somebody wanna host it for a bit? or email it to me and i'll host it.
Hahaha, it's so hard explaining why you're hoarse after you get out of your car...
"I was..uh...singin along...kinda hard"
Take it.

Shit. I already deleted the link from my PMs.
Eisey, could you put your link here (I got it from EC), then once it's done, someone else can host it on yousendit.
hot. thanks, man.
You were thinking what I was thinkin', Eisey. That's what happens when you're a 5-star.
;)
ooooh yeah. you know it.
Corey, report to the rock room. You have work to do!!
I just have to say what a damn beautiful day it is outside today. Naomi and I were just saying that it makes you feel sooo goooooood when the air is a bit cooler. And last night was c.o.l.d. It was awesome.
Here's what I can make of the lyrics using Eisey's as a guide. I've listened to seven versions of this song and watched a video of them performing this song and some of those lines in unintelligible in all of them. btw, in the 7-8-00 version he says that this one is one "that you'll probably find somewhere in the future. It's called 'Lil Billy'. It's about an old friend..."
Lil Billy
we were partyin down
Late one saturday night
Billy walks up to me
says its time to fight
...
bein all loud
bein an asshole
He's entertaining the crowd
so a friend walks up to me
says "make that billy bleed
me and my girl are gettin sick
you better make him leave or we gonna quit"
oh billy billy billy
when you gonna learn?
that a stupid fuck like you
you only gonna burn
you gotta lotta nerve boy
you gotta lotta nerve
come into my house
...
you gotta lotta nerve boy
you gotta lotta guts
if i was seventeeeeen
i'd really fuck you up
oh billy billy billy
when you gonna learn?
that a stupid fuck like you are
are only gonna burn
See how people change
People they grow up
People they do things
I ain't speaking of
But the greatest thing
I could ever ever...
Is to see you ...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!
Thanks for all who worked these lyrics out. They used to play this a lot, sometimes as the closer, in their early shows. Then it just disappeared. I never had a clue what the lyrics were, but when hearing this live it doesn't matter. All that attitude comes across loud and clear in the music.
