I guess the chorus of "All the Small Things" is crash on the beat. I hate it. My job is to play eighth notes the whole time. I hate songs like that. Live, I can't tell from dick because the stage monitor mix is usually a crap shoot and it's rare I have my own monitor anyway.

Nothing better than trying to sit on straight eighth notes,
when you're getting so much bounce-back from the PA that you don't know where the actual beat is.
