It just won't quit

[greg]

I wondered why meat never sung this classic song of bat2. On tour very. Much is it because meat couldn't find the right character. For the song. Can someone give some light on this??

I think many of us would have loved to experience this one live. It's always been one of my favourites.

Is this a wind up?

It's still worth noting from time to time how this great song & record has been under-exposed ,,,

I thought the windup was the random punctuation. I needed three attempts to work out it was pretty much one sentence.

As for the point though...i suppose you can never have the same answer to a question too many times.

Does anyone know why Meat has never sung "It just won't quit live?".

Obviously because it's a neverending song and his concerts are only 2 to 2,5 hours long...

I know I brought this topic up in the past evil one. But as time moves on I wondered it was worth, bringing up again to see if anyone else. Had any information

I believe it's because Meat couldn't find the character.

Thankyou

Just right, no harm in asking

If you don't know the answer, ask questions, do research, test theories, experiment... it's how we grow our knowledge.

In science, there should never be consensus...

and although this isn't science, the question still isn't answered definitively, so keep asking, keep questioning!

Well It was brought to my attention a former(?) admin here (I wont name names) has a recording of it from the Storytellers show where it WAS performed (partially).

They didn't wanna share it and is no longer active here. take that as you will.

why keep that from fans? If you see this please reconsider :)

Exactly thankyou

[lorenzoduke]

Remains one of Jim's best compositions and one of Meat's best studio performances. It really captures a rare mood.

[letsgotoofar]

And (minor trivia) it's one of the few songs on which Meat also sings backing vocals in addition to the lead. There have only been a handful of those in his career.

To my ears this is that handful of times its happened:

1. Took the Words
2. Two Out Of Three Ain't bad
3. Keeper keep Us
4. Nowhere Fast
5. Piece of the Action
6. Don't Leave Your Mark on Me
7. Razor's Edge
8. the Promised Land
9. Life is a Lemon (most notable on the "its defective" part)
10. It Just Wont Quit
11. Out Of The Frying Pan
12. Objects
13. Do It
14. Blind as a Bat
15. In the land of the Pig
16. Break It
17. Los Angeloser
18. Party of One

You might try checking the liner notes, Wario. Per credits, he sings backup on "Paradise" (and does hand claps on "Took the Words" but that's not singing), "Fallen Angel," "Execution Day," "Rock and Roll Mercenaries," "Burning Down," "Masculine," and "It Just Won't Quit."

What are these "liner notes" you speak of? Are these some sort of ancient technology of the past?
