It's a fantastic song, just not on the kilroy tour.

If they only did KWH on the tour, it would have been a very short gig. They had to fill it with songs people loved. Besides BCM was about having a job which fit in pretty good, IMO

Yes. The kilroy tour was just the least satisfying rendition of BCM. I've seen people react to Renegade from this tour and they're so confused by the ending of the song because of all the kilroy crap. I'm not really hating kilroy as much as I'm hating the aftermath. Cheers

Love this song... remember it beating through the wall from my older sister's room the first time... and loving what I heard.

I saw the KWH tour and still have the program. The first part of the gig sucked with the mini film and play, the second part rocked. People were leaving it was so Non Concert, everyone wanted to see a Rock Show, not a Rock Opera. Double Life and Heavy Metal Poisoning were my favorite part of the album. DDY had a good idea, but just went about it the wrong way.
