Agreed, but if that's what they have to do in order to draw a crowd to get money and record more albums, I'm ok with it. Better than them hanging it up.
Well I mean they are playing their whole new album in full. I don't think they are totally a nostalgia act. I don't think that is fair to say.
It's cool that they are, but the set after that is for songs from LN, three from WYWTB, two from TAYF, and one from HI. There's a string sense that most people are there for the early stuff
Have they you ever played Sad Saviour or It Takes More live? Those fiery last choruses on both would sound amazing
Niiiiiiiice wish I could see that. Those two, EMG and My blue heaven all have what I refer to as explosive endings
Yes, it was. Saw them in the spring of 2015 and that was their main set closer and it was really cool, actually.
Funny thing is I hadn't gotten into it/really gave it a chance, used to skip it normally, until I was listening to their discography right before tidal wave dropped to get hyped. For some reason IDK why it just suddenly clicked with me and now I love it especially John's backup vocals at the end.
I listened to all of their stuff this morning. I forgot how good the Best Buy bonus tracks to TNTS are.
Best Straylight Run memory: Saw them on Warped Tour in 06' I think or 07'. Good set, and they ended with Hands In The Sky(one of my favorites by them). Just as it got to the part where John starts screaming the words, a HUGE thunderstorm rolled in. They finished the song, lightning and rain pouring. It totally fit the song. It was almost spiritual in a way lol. Side note,Years later when he rejoined TBS and they were doing that ForumSpring thing where they'd answer questions I jokingly asked John if he and god planned that out and he replied "Oh yeah, we totally planned it."
The stretch of Call Come Running, Holy Water, The Middle of it All, and We Don't Go In There is my favorite of the album
My favorite stretch of the album is the album. Kidding.... sort of haha. If I had to pick four it'd be Can't Look Back, Fences, All Excess and I Felt It Too.
Also a good one Although Death Wolf-All Excess is a good one too....so connect that with your stretch and my previous mentioned stretch and yeah album
