This is a tough question, almost like trying to pinpoint my favorite Beatles song. I guess my least favorite would be People Are Strange simply because I never much cared for the song in the first place when The Doors did it. Maybe I’d like it more if it was Mona doing the drum solo. One song from Orange that I don’t see on anyone’s fav/not fav list is Club 27. I simply love that song but then I love the whole album. But what is really cool is how on the album they go from the edgy and heavy Club 27 to the beautiful ballad of Still a Friend of Mine. That in and of itself shows their diversity in style. As for the video covers, the one I go back to more than anything else right now is Hotel California. It simply blows me away. But my favs change daily. For a while it was Bus Stop which I still love, but right now I can’t get enough of HC. But the thing is I love all of MLT’s music and the only band I could ever say that about was The Beatles. Oh and BTW, I don’t consider Revolution #9 a song. And one more thing, I cannot wait to hear the twins do Hey Bulldog and I hope they have as much fun at the end as John and Paul did. In fact, I hope that’s their next video. A very underrated song that got buried in the Yellow Submarine LP along with George’s It’s All Too Much.

I understand Mona does all the drum parts on their studio recordings. Having said that when I listen to Orange I tend to hone in on the drums and if it is in fact her playing, then I think she’s one fine drummer. It really comes out on Club 27. Her drum solo on Ain’t No Sunshine was very good but what I loved even more was that smile when she was finished. God, that just melted my heart. It seemed so sincere.

I prefer MLT’s version of HC over the Eagles. I think it’s because they were so young and nailed it perfectly. Don Felder would have to impressed.

When I first saw the Nothing is in Vain video, it reminded me of what an acid trip must be like. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve never done drugs, but the visual images were so intoxicating to watch. And I loved how it ended BANG as soon as that vase reassembled itself. I like the song but as Howard said, I too enjoy it more watching the video. The effort and time you put into it was well worth it for this fan.
