I agree. Hands All Over also works perfectly as a concert opener too. Ugly Truth would definitely have worked better as the second or third song on the album. I love Ugly Truth, but that's mostly because of the live versions where the song is extended a bit. My favourite version of the song is the [Bumbershoot 1990 performance](https://youtu.be/jJpvC3KuSE4?si=n9uZ_2h-pS5AnMPc), where the middle section is an extended psychedelic jam and Chris hits some of his highest notes ever.
Badmotorfinger and Superunkown have great openers. Louder Than Love not so much. I think its the tempo. Imagine if Superunkown started with Mailman instead of Let Me Drown.
Totally agree! Imagine popping in that vinyl and then the first thing you hear is that big explosion of guitars and cymbal crashing alongside with Chris' "AHHHHhhhhh-CANT TOUCH ME!"vocals. Would have made the album a better experience in my opinion. For me, Ugly Truth is an awesome song but a little dull for an opener. If anything, it would have been a better ender for the album than the Full On Reprise.
Disagree, to me the album is perfect the way it is
You're crazy, Ugly Truth is awesome.
Sorry this is the Best song on the album
Came to say this. Perfect album opener.

It's a neat idea. I would think Ugly Truth would fit mid album.
The one, two, three punch of Ugly Truth, Hands All Over and Gun is perfect.

Swapping Ugly Truth with Hands works. I'd get rid of Ride on Snake, Big Dumb, and the two Kevin's mom's and make it a lean doom like album!!!
Some of these guys can't take a difference in opinion. These downvotes are so funny lol
