Always thought the line was 'Ghostrider on the corner of the dancefloor', which I liked but I definitely prefer the mental picture I get from 'Throw a spider on the corner of the dancefloor'....
Great set.... I wish I could stay awake all night.

Love this song and I haven't heard it in a while.
This is nice. Starts off great, but tapers off a bit for me. Still really good.
every time it’s played in RP I like them more and raise their rating. Keep on rocking!!!!!
amazing band!
Following Let's Tessallate, brilliant!

Good Tune! I never heard of them before. Thanks RP!

Saw these guys live a month ago in Portland. They absolutely rocked -- wife was jumping up and down and rocking out the whole show. My toes are sore from getting stomped on but the night was a blast.
Note to self: listen to some more Afghan Whigs. This is pretty damn awesome.
Love the drumming.

Oh Yes. Just went form an 8 to a 9. Happy Friday

I think I hate the lyrics, but I won't assume that I understand them. But, damn, this rocks.
Love this!

I've always been a fan of Greg Dulli. This rocks! Shades of Afghan Whig's Gentleman album. Straight 9 for me.
Interesting band. Very underrated.
Outstanding: 9

The song gets much better once the singer's throat lozenge kicks in... aw, but then it goes all raspy again!
Maybe try a saltwater gargle?

Excellent. I remember them from the mid-90s, remarkable that 20 years later they can still rock like this.

Oh my. This song makes me all squishy!
Bloody awesome! Greg Dulli is a genius.

Well, Greg Dulli's sounded like that since the late 80s, so I doubt he's going to change it up now ...
Nice rocky instrumentals, but I'd prefer the singer to lay off the strained falsetto. He sounds like he's got a hernia.

Why does it have to be "U2" - (??) they get a cheap plug here (??) ...no...I like this band....I gave it a 9 - it's good....they are good - U2 is so 90s
First of all, I like this band as well, certainly this song. And I've definitely had my fill of U2's more recent efforts, although I still love almost all of their stuff through Achtung Baby and a few more through Pop.
The point of my statement is that, depending on where you are on the curve of fandom toward a particular group, you might hear a song and think:
That sounds just like their previous work - gimme some of that
That sounds just like their previous work - try something new
I'm not sure if I like this song, but I like this band, so I'll give it a shot
I'm not sure if I like this song and I don't know this band, so ... nah
That sounds very similar to a band that I like, so I'll give it a shot
That sounds very similar to a band that I like - do something original, copycat
That sounds very similar to a band that I don't like because I don't like the sound, so ... nah
That sounds very similar to a band that I don't like because I am tired of the band, so I'll give it a shot

Obviously, if the song sounds original or from many disparate sources, then you can more easily judge it on its own merits. In this case, I think it sounds quite a bit like modern U2, but it doesn't have the baggage of Bono et al, so I'm happy to give it a shot.
Third listen, and wow, I'm definitely thinking that they are operating at some major Rocking capacity here... I love the rich sonic texture!

Interesting thought experiment: how would you rate this if the artist was listed as U2 (I think it is rather evocative)? Would you rate based purely on the song or would it be heavily tainted by your (potential) bias toward the band and how this differs from their earlier sound?

Not the best track on their new album, but still quite good, and with some serious throwback vibes to their early years. Any Whigs is good to hear in my book, and I'm excited that their reformation has resulted in a 2nd new album already. For any fans, the remastered and expanded editions of Gentlemen and Black Love (released over the last couple years) are both essential.

The trend for falsetto is not winning me over. This is no exception. Which is a shame, cos I like the Whigs.
9 plays in the last month? I am listening.

Quality rock imo (volume helps : )
This is a strange track, and yet I'm finding I like it. It's got a sorta Interpol sound to it, which is probably what I like, although I'm guessing it goes the other way around with Interpol being influenced by the early years of the Whigs.
*edit* This might be the 3rd time I've heard it, and now I'm stuck on the fact that the opening bit sounds like "Calling Elvis" by Dire Straits. Still not completely sold on the sound of the band, although the guitar closing it out kicks ass and I'm bumping up + 1 to a 7.
Long Live RP!!
