Slooooooooow Sting Me....


Released as a B-side and later a bonus track, the slow version of Sting Me was played a grand total of 17 times - once in 1992 and 16 times between 1996 and 1997. This is one of those songs (those holy grail songs) that many die-hard fans salivate over when they come to see the band live. This was one of those tunes that was constantly on the wishlist to return to the set in 2005 and 2006 - unfortunately, it did not. What will 2007 bring? Perhaps the return of slow Sting Me.

i have to laugh
now everytime i see "SLOW" on the street , I think of this review.

btw , I was listening to 11/7/96 from Philly and walking down memory lane from that show and remeber hearing the slow sting for the first time ever, and thinking what the hell just happened afterwards? I don't know , it must have been the doses...
