The Darkest One has got to be one of my favourite Hip songs and it's only been played on IVL's introductory tour in 2002. I think it's about time this beautiful song is dusted off and played a few times for those of use who didn't get a chance to see the Hip in 02.
Can I get an amen?
Yup, that and Greasy Jungle, I don't know why they never play them...it just simply isn't fair. When I heard they did an acoustic Greasy Jungle earlier this year, I think i shit myself, and then went and cried.

I about did the same when the song (electric) was intro'd in K-town.

Well...to be polite...it's retarted...and when you turn 30 or worse yet, 40 you'll remember these words and thank me for them.
But hey...it's your canvas.

Not sure what to say, I turn 40 in two months and just got a tat this past summer..........LOL

I do like the "Yer Favourite" cover tattoo. The darkest one is such a random song and they barely ever play it..even the lyrics isn't that good. So many better lryics and quotes woukd fit in their nicely
well I'm not entirely sure about the lyrics just yet...but my original idea was the YF cover with the gaelic word for strength in the middle in place of the "TTH"
What about the Gaelic word for "courage"

Woah woah woah, stuff like that does
not belong in this thread.
I made this thread specifically to help extinguish this notion. At the same time though, you
are reinforcing my point about the Darkest One being one of the band's most underrated songs.
