“No evidence of the aforementioned line can be heard on either the XFM version or the Realmedia stream. While the band was definitely potty-mouthed in general (though at the end, the XFM announcer can be heard to comment that he didn't think there was *enough* swearing), as Bernard and Co. can be heard to use f*** or a variant there of seven times throughout, I don't want to think they'd be *that* crude given the subject matter of the song in question. It's possible, of course, that the song was cleaned up, as there have been other times (such as the Reading '98 DVD) where flubbed lines have been fixed, though if they took out the Satan bit, they left out the other mumble-throughs not to mention the [play on] drug reference with the 'give you a snort to sort you out' bit after the end of the song, so I've asked the person I know who taped this live what their recording has.”

“You're welcome to the audience tape Sam!”

“I guess it's personS I know then...

Thanks! The only thing which made me dubious of the notion of an edit was they didn't seem to have cleaned up anything else! I wasn't doubting you, I was just saying I didn't want it to be true.”
