(with a little history), If we go way back to The Fly, then we had discotechque which is in the style of the fly then we had Elevation which was again in the style of the fly. Then, we had Vertigo which was in the style of the fly, or should I say its roots lie in this type of guitar riff. Not to mention Fast Cars, which is throwaway/unchallenging (maybe the only reason it stayed is because of the line - going to the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb).
With what has seemed like a very long wait for this album, plus for those who heard the beach clips and got very excited. When GOYB materialised as a first single I was certainly like 'enough of this kind of track already'. Not to mention that the other songs, Fly, Elevation, Discotechque & Vertigo are stronger songs.
I think we were all expecting something a little more challenging (a WOWY type track perhaps) and instead got yet another bar chord/led zeppeling style riff in the key of A, when we've already had it in all the above mentioned tracks, plus Hold Me Thrill me etc.
The world has moved on, we kind of all hoped that Mr Evans would have learn't to do something else with a telecaster (used on vertigo) an overdrive and bar chords around the key of A, yawn..................but on this GOYB performance it would appear not.
Fortunately the rest of the album is in complete contrast.
To summarise, why do I hate GOYB: When you've already heard the other tracks before, it gets boring to hear the same thing rehashed and served up as new time and again.
