Daisy Chain = Family Name? Anybody else notice the many similarities between these two songs? Sorry if this has been discussed before. I think "Family Name" (without the intro) is a much improved-upon remake of "Daisy Chain." | |

'the daisy chain' beats the living crap out of 'family name'. | |

"Family Name" has many more variations, an awesome-sounding chorus, some cool breakdowns, "the spit!," and a killer guitar solo . What makes "Daisy Chain" better? DVS' rap? The fuzzed-out bass? The lyrics? Because it's not on TRC? Or just because you said so? I heard a 20-minute version and it was pretty much all the same. And the good parts are now in "Family Name."

These are both great tracks and after playing em back 2 back I agree they have certain similarities. For whats its worth, I agree Family Name is an improvement, its a fantastic track and one of the main reasons why I can't understand people who don't like the TRC. ----------------------------------------- | |

They seem structurally different to me, but I've never played them back to back. Family Name mops the floor w/ the Daisy Chain, IMO...   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

'sing a simple song' IMO it spoils a good song. | |

IMO it spoils a good song. The build is so good though! I used to think it was too long too until I fell in love w/ the song. Now the build up is great to me, quite FUNKY too...

Very true! They're very alike. The drumbeat is basically the same.. but I like Family Name better.. and actually I like the long instrumental intro > it could do without the computerized monologue... |

Cant say I care much for either of the songs. I skip family name entirely on the rare occasions that I play the album. I dont think ive even listened to the daisy chain all the way through except when its just on in the background... Certainly not during a 'get deep and really listen' session.
Theres something lacking in both of them... | |

Cherryloon, I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek... I rarely say anything in anger, and I do respect other's opinions. "Daisy Chain" is definitely funky, especially when the beat is bouncing off the floors and walls of a small club like the Fillmore in San Francisco.  But I think "Family Name" is a bit more fonky. | |
