    Fans Reactions To LTCs Song

    "......(Lets Get High) is probably their weakest effort to date. The set list said "High," but judging by the chorus the full title is probably "Let's Get High" and Kay said it was for the upcoming Hempilation. Just a stupid, lame song. A huge downer considering I've liked every note they've written since 1990. The others fans I was standing around didn't seem too amused either, most stopped bopping around and just looked confused as to why LTC was doing the song......"-Louis Lewis

    "......I thought it was an awesome song but only if the lyrics were different-the music was great i just didnt like the lyrics-they just didnt fit ltc's usual style....."-sparklegirl

    "..... i thought lets get high, was kinda lacking, but it was still a good song..i think i was maybe a little dissapointed but thats just cuase every one of their other songs is so good..if it was by another band people would like it, i guess its just cuase everyone expects so much from them because they always have the best songs. I thought it was good, so they can just keep on kicking ass....."- Colleen
