    Lonely Day gets me teary eyed. It's really the final song that System ever truly wrote and released, and it marked the end of a brilliant 7 year run. I just hope every System Show has the same love and passion they did back then, Because I doubt we see another album

      That's awesome, I straight Ball my eyes out what smile empty souls 'bottom of a bottle and 'hows it going to be by 3👁️ blind I am so damn deep man it's like when a sad memory is sparked by a totally meaningful rock song plays)(a handful tops).. I cry and it's out of my system before the song ends usually

      @@deliberate570Both songs can co-exist. The two are almost the same lyrically but have different meanings for both artists. Trent’s version is the ending of the Downward Spiral and ties in with the story of the album and Trent’s feelings of the time. Johnny’s version is about him coming to grips with the death of his wife and the fact that his time was almost up too. I love both but I don’t think we should discredit the original

    Anytime someone says Tom DeLonge can't actually play guitar, I play them 3 blink-182 songs that without a doubt proves he can: "M&Ms", "Dumpweed", and "Stay Together for the Kids".
    I also remind them that simple music sells and it's okay to like a "simple guitarist" for being simple.
    But, like I said, he's not a simple guitarist and the proof is in the pudding.
