That speech Dan gave about how hard it is to be in a band and make money was tough. I think Scream It Like You Mean It might be the last time we see them do a full on tour SOTY is the only real silver lining about living in STL lol
One of our systems is down at work so I have extra time on my hands..... here is my dream setlist going with their standard 18 song set. I used the opening 3 from last Saturday's show because it really was perfect. 1. And the Hero Will Drown 2. How Can I Go On 3. Dive Right In 4. Stereo 5. The Dream is Over 6. Bang Bang 7. Angel in the Swamp 8. Miracle 9. Won Threw Ate 10. Apathy Is a Deathwish 11. Our Time is Now 12. Sleep 13. The Antidote 14. Choose Your Fate 15. Goodnight My Love *with extended outro jam for sure* Encore: 16. The Children Sing 17. Welcome To Our New War 18. Is This My Fate?" He Asked Them I would probably retire from going to concerts after this, because what could live up to this?
Mine: 1.How Can We Go On 2. And The Hero Will Drown 3. Dive Right In 4. We Don't Care Anymore 5. Take Me Back 6. Our Time is Now 7. Miracle 8. Anthem of Our Dying Day 9. Bang Bang 10. Youth/I Swear I'm Okay 11. Goodnight My Love 12. Sidewalks 13. The Antidote 14. A Part Of Me 15. My Home 16. Praying For Rain 17. Angel In The Swamp 18. Is This My Fate? Encore: The Children Sing Won Thew Ate Cannonball Until the Day I Die
1. You cheated on set length. 2. This is basically the one we just saw lol. It was amazing so no hate though.
Jumping around gets tiring. These old guys can only do 15-18 now haha. Remember, Dan's arm almost fell off.
I'll throw my album ranking out there: Wolves>The Black Swan>The Constant>Page Avenue>In The Wake Of Determination
1. The Black Swan Best songs: Every single song. Worst songs: None. 2. In the Wake of Determination Best songs: "Is This My Fate?" He Asked Them, Wake Up the Voiceless, Our Time Is Now, Sleep Worst songs: None. 3. The Constant Best songs: The Children Sing, The Dream Is Over, Won Threw Ate, To the Burial Worst songs: Remember a Time 4. Page Avenue Best songs: Until the Day I Die, Anthem of Our Dying Day, Sidewalks, In the Shadows Worst songs: Razorblades, Fiji (from unreleased version, haha) 5. Wolves Best songs: A Part of Me, How Can We Go On, Bang Bang Worst songs: Can Anybody Hear Me, Like Ghosts, Praying for Rain
I’m not a big fan of the spoken word section of Praying for Rain, but the rest of it is absolutely killer. Like Ghosts and Can Anybody Hear Me are my least faves.
After the spoken word part of Praying for Rain, the build up "So take my heart, so take my blood, it's only love" into the guitar solo is fucking amazing.....but that's after like minute mark 5 so I dunno if I love the song or not haha.
I love you saying "worst" instead of "bad" because they have no bad songs! I agree with the Constant and Page songs. For Black Swan I'd go Cannonball and In the Wake would be Five Against the World.
Yeah, I actually don't think they have a single bad song. I do however think there are some that are a little boring, too simple, modern or poppy on Wolves. As I always say, not a fan of the electronic parts. I agree on both Cannonball and Five Against the World, but I don't think they're bad. The guitar solo on the latter is absolutely killer.
