Spiteface

Spiteface seems to be a really long-running joke with the band.

They've had to fend off fans shouting for it at many shows, and often indulge in a tease or two every now and then.

As opposed to it being a high-in-demand song because of it's merits and a long-lost gem of a song, I think the joke is that this song is really bad.  It's goofy, and atrocious.  But really hilarious, too.  I mean, really? "Never piece this broken heart to you?" Yikes.  And the break in the middle is such a bad case of feigned toughness, it's like makeup-less KISS at their worst.  Which is also makeup-less KISS at their best, so I guess that's why the song is so popular.
Check out this phatty live performance:



I feel like the shirt Billy is wearing is the perfect analogy to Spiteface.
