| "The Sage" | With only three verses, you never hear mention of "The Sage", but you do hear nearly 5 minutes of dueling guitar and mandolin around those three eerily chanted verses. - Doug N. |
| "Karn Evil 9" | For half an hour song, you don't even hear the title. The most popular line is 'Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends'. - Paul Warren |

"Karn Evil 9 (First Impression)"
Misheard Lyrics: silent children shivered in the cold
now their plight exploited in the lyrics of the jackasses for gold records Original Lyrics: silent chidren shivered in the cold
now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Z As a photographer who traveled to poorer countries to document the conditions that some children lived and DIED in, I was quite offended by this part of the song. I certainly didn't do it for the money, as I probably made a hundredth of the "gold" that these performers did. Without us, they wouldn't have known about it to write this part of the song, but instead of thanking us, they insult us. |

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:
"Benny the Bouncer"
An obvious "B-side" to Jeremy Bender, this song functions as the calm before the storm (that is Karn Evil 9), but still turns into a great cut thanks to the up-right piano playing in one of the great English Music Hall performances this side of the last world war.
