amsterdam was played for the first time in sydney, 2001-08-03.

 

"we're gunna do a song now that has never ever been played live.. erm.. its a new song and uh... Jonny is not gunna play cos he hasnt written his part yet.. erm.. This is called amsterdam and if we fuck it up i'm sorry but you're free to go whenever you want.... anyway it's going to be on our new record, basically"

thats what chris said before they started to play it.

 

and then the song starts, and it sounds so weird. Especially in the final part, cos theres no guitar, only bass and drums. it's really different. And the lyrics are kind of different too. Like:

 

"and time... pushing you down.. pushing you all around.. sick to the bones.. sick to the stomach"

 

"and i knooow... i wasted and wasted. oh what a big mistake, i know"

 

Have you guys ever heard this early version? its pretty wicked

I have heard it. It's pretty good.

i remember the first time i heard that early version of 'amsterdam', it piss me off cause it sounded like crap compared to the first. lol. but its fun to see how far along that song has come.

I've searched for Amsterdam at Kazaa and the first version I got was this one. :stunned:

I heard it two days ago.I was really impressed.The lyrics are touching and the way chris sings is as usual AMAZING. :

:embarrased: I wanna hear it!!!

if anyone wants, I could try to send it!
