LOL It's My Life was a full blown 2-part CD single! Just like every other single we've had since, give or take.

And I guess Good Guys only had a music video purely to promote The Cowboy Way movie. (Good video btw)

Bloody hell, I meant the US. It's MY Life had no single released in the US but had the videoclip running, was performed at various shows etc. etc. and made it to the Billboard Top 40 without actual sales. Referring STRICTLY to the US (my bad that I didn't point this out from the very beginning) there's not too big of a difference between Good Guys and It's My Life (in terms of promotion). It's My Life became a hit. Good Guys didn't.

Good Guys is a great song, no doubt about that.

I´ve never quite managed to hear and understand the lyrics after the guitar solo. According to the internet lyrics files, it goes like " forget about your dark dressed knight, day from night, wrong from right..."

Are these lines really correct? Any suggestions?

Sorry, didn't know IML had no physical single release in the US. (WTF! by the way)

...I wasn't having a go at you either.

6-7 years difference in promoting Goog Guys vs Its My Life is really important! Internet was a child when GG where promoted and it developed like a monster since then...

And if you think that GG was promoted at the same level as IML, same amount of TV apperences, interviews and all other shit, then... OMG

GG didnt have internet... Didnt have 10 percent of TV and all other way of promotion IML had! Didnt have an album behind it! Nothing that could be compared with IML!

Here's the best performance of this song ever (as far as I'm concerned, they played it live three or four times), much much better than the Wembley one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL6if...eature=related

Shame that it's so small, but you can still enjoy.

It was probably the last live appearance of Alec with the band, wasn't it?

And my guess is that it was written for Crossroad, not These Days. It was out even before Always (not sure with that). I think it would have fitted Crossroad with Saturday Night and Always perfectly, question is, which of the hits would be omitted. There are more songs on boxset, which were recorded for Crossroad - or in that time.
I'm not sure Cross Road had it's own specific sessions, I think it was all part of the "next album after KTF" (which obviously became These Days) sessions

Of course, I might be wrong

You are.

There were a few recording sessions after Keep The Faith on which the band recorded a few songs (I think 12 or something in total) they wrote on tour on during the breaks in between the legs of the Keep The Faith tours. When the band/record company decided that they wanted to release a greatest hits the band did one more sessions and released what in their opinion were the 2 best songs on the compilation album. Stuff like Good Guys, Sat. Night, Always were all finalized on the same session, which could be named the Cross Road sessions. These were not the sessions on which the band recorded stuff for the next album. Open All Night for example is from those sessions and not from the These Days sessions. It was one song they did take with them to the These Days sessions but when the started to write and record more songs the band decided to scrap Open All Night. They loved it very much and thought it'd be what the entire album would sound like. In the end it just wouldn't fit in with the rest of the songs on These Days and was put on the shelf.

Back to the inital subject: It'd be nice to hear what the demo for Good Guys sounds like.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan
