'Teenage Rebellion' stream on RollingStone.com

Following my earlier slating of this song it has now grown on me slightly but I still hate the constant use of the line (I used to die every night).

The arrangement wasn't really what I expected, but I think the song itself is solid. I would like to hear a full bad version of it. It has a really gentle tone to it, so it's a good one for when you're in the mood. Probably not a song I'd skip to (often, anyway), but definitely not a song I'd skip over.

Listening to it again, it's actually a very good song, albeit sadly held back by poor production and a...strange vocal delivery.

this! i think the first 2 verses are brilliant. and it would be even better if they ended it around 3:15.

"There's a song called Teenage Rebellion, it's going to show up later in an electric version, but there's an acoustic version of it that's going to be a bonus track, and I didn't write any of the music for that."

I am confused. So is it a cover....or what?

I loved it the first time I heard it. It's haunting, in a good way. Would love to hear an electric version too though.

Sweet!!!! I can't wait to hear the full band version of it. I see it being pretty fast paced.

That may just show up as a 45 Club exclusive...

A bit late to this thread, but what the hell.

I don't have this (it was an iTunes-only bonus, i believe?) and want to get hold of it. Any suggestions (preferably paid, legitimate)?

assuming your location is accurate, this should work http://www.amazon.co.uk/Teenage-Rebellion/dp/B008I4QBEE/

Muchos gracias!

I must admit i'm a little embarrassed i didn't think to try there myself...

Wow. I HATED this song when I first listened to it. Now I really like it. It's funny how that works.
