8V SONG DISCUSSION #1 - The Root Of All Evil

I'm kinda curious as to how they'll do it live if they segue into this from TDS.  I saw them do TGP-TDS in Chicago, and they segued off the last fill of TGP right into TDS, one of the many highlights of that show in Chicago last year!  I imagine they'd have to do some kind of break right there.
 
The opening riff totally kicks my ass.  I think this song fits perfectly with the other two.  I don't like saying that I have a favorite of the three, because I like them all.  This song is a great album opener, and one of my favs from 8V.
 

I think that, since the very end of TDS is the same thing as the start of TROAE, that they will just continue with that pattern right into TROAE.  It's kinda hard to explain in print, so i hope you get what i mean.

when i heard it the first few times, i hated it & thought it was total crap....    & i still do.  but actually now that i'm a tad bit more familiar with it, it's alright. i still cant stand the chorus, i dont know why but it doesnt sound like DT but then again neither did B.T.L when i first heard it

I love this song. The pest AA-Song so far.
Love the Intro, so cooooooooooool  

 
The only think, which could be better is the mix. On 8v, this song has the worst mix IMO. James is too low, so is Jordan.
 
 

i think it's an ok song. the chorus is brilliant. jp's solo as well. the tds reference didn't really fit that well though imo. but it sounded better live than on the cd

Great song! I love the Guns 'N Roses vibe at 6:12 - 6:24. It GROOVES!

At first I was 

Then the chorus came and I was

Then back to

Then that low drum ultra fast break and I was

Then back to

Off to the next one!

When it first kicks in, it really reminds me of Slither by Velvet Revolver.  I doubt that was an inspiration for this song, but it still reminds me.  To me for the most part it's one of there more straight forward songs, but it definitely has it's moments and I think it's a cool song overall.

Yes the first part sounds a LOT like slither, so much that once I found myself singing the lyrics to slither in my head rather than the correct lyrics.

I love the part where James sings "mislead so easilyy" I don't know, that part is badass, and so is the part that sounds like TDS, it's too powerful! I get chills when I get to that part.

The very first thing I thought ^

Also, does anyone get a Tom Morello/Audioslave 'Like a Stone' guitar solo vibe at 3:30-3:41 with the distorted guitar?

And Hi everybody as well

Good song to start of a show!!! me like it!

Great song.....but does this mean that the next installment of the AA series is going to be slower (because of the ending of TROAE)?
