He now pulls off "we weren't born to follow" very well, but when they began playing it he barely pulled off the lick at the beginning. On other songs like Blood on Blood he plays them fine, even the old songs they began rediscovering like Roulette.

I may just be nitpicking here, it's just that I admire the guy so much, and on the MSG DVD he was pretty much on fire! I just don't know why his playing suffers on the new songs.
