Poison Arrow

09.10.2009, 09:41 PM

Any fans of this song? I like it how SY get all glam with some serious licks all of their own on this one. Surely that's a first for them? They're also being totally 1974/5, with the advanced minds/souls we like them for.

Listen to the layers of bliss. they are the bliss. the bliss.

Love that it just rolls for over a minute before T's Reed kicks in.

Love Steve on this one live. I have a great story about telling him just
how much, but that's for the No Setlist follow up. His playing is frenetic
and a ballast at the same time.

Three months on, I'm still listening to The Eternal once a week.

Same. I listen to this record almost every day. And I don't like SY anymore.

Thurston messed up in Philli and seemed to forget how long the intro was. It was adorable. He later made a joke about it to me after the show.

Good song. I always thought some of the riffs on Kool Thing sounded a bit "glammy" in parts but other than that, yeahhh.

deflinus · 09.10.2009, 10:57 PM

steve's drumming in this song is rather awesome

andrei · 09.11.2009, 01:09 AM

Nice song ideed. I like Thurtston's Lou Reed-esque voice.

chicka · 09.11.2009, 08:24 AM

it was the first one to catch my attention. I enjoy it still.

I'm still kickin my butt cause I could have been listening to NYC Ghosts for 10 years now not just a month....

Rob Instigator · 09.11.2009, 09:11 AM

great fucking record, great fucking song. love the singin

Dead-Air · 09.11.2009, 05:35 PM

I like that it has the same name as an almost listenable ABC song, but blows it out of the water.

dale_gribble · 09.11.2009, 06:04 PM

i really like it, esp the vocals... one of my favs off the eternal

Diesel · 09.11.2009, 06:11 PM

The best part of this song is the noise guitar track which is amazing to hear becasuse SY haven't played in this style for a long time but on reflection it sounds far too low in the mix. If this was on dirty it would be at the forefront of the song and thats why this album is ultimately a bunch of complete and utter wank.

Diesel · 09.11.2009, 07:42 PM

True , you can fuck with the eq but its the hass FOR ONE SONG! and even then the guitar is still low. plus, i didnt have to do fuck all for dirty so what the fucks gan on?!?! commercial bollocks, thats what, and i thought dirty was meant to be the pop shit! Dirty makes this sound like AQUA.

Diesel · 09.11.2009, 07:51 PM

It's deffinetly one of the best songs on there I remember, but the albums al too polished, production wise. I deleted it off me mp3 player ages agan.

Yup I've been saying it for months. The production is garbage on this album! Bring back Richard Hell!!!!

joe11121 · 09.11.2009, 10:37 PM

I really like this song. i listen to the Eternal all the time still as well

Death & the Maiden · 09.12.2009, 12:02 AM

Posion Arrow is good. Probably the best Thurston song on the album.

MARKJONES · 10.20.2009, 10:49 PM

Poison Arrow is my second favorite song on the album, after Leaky Lifeboat. It is probably the most completely original song on the album, in my opinion.

DanielCarlson · 10.21.2009, 06:39 AM

Actually, it's one of my least favorites on The Eternal. It's better than fucking Thunderclap and perhaps Leaky Lifeboat as well, but other than that, I'm not fond of it.
