  1. One of the Dutch reviews of last night's show mentioned the setlist choices being worse than they could have been (which I agree with, though I still very much enjoyed the show) and then proceeded to call The Handler and Citizen Erased the worst songs in the set and praise Revolt. Oh well :LOL:

     

    What the hell :LOL: Do you have a link?

  2.  

    And also the next guitar part when he usually does 5-5-8-5 / 7-7-5-7... he plays some chords instead. Thanks! I am trying to cover it perfectly so this will help a lot!

     

    The chords are just the Am, Bm, E, F, G chords but all higher up on the neck.

    I believe they're:

     

    E---8----7---7----8----10

    B--10---7---9----10---12

    G---9----8---9---10---12

  3. Okay, say there are 5 songs which you all rate to your liking on a 1-10 scale:

    Song A: 7

    Song B: 6

    Song C: 9

    Song D: 6

    Song E: 7

     

    This means that, although I like almost all of them, I like songs A, B, D and E least. Those are therefore the worst songs of the album. The terms 'worse' and 'better' are relative.

    The worst 3-track span of this selection of songs could then be either:

    A, B, C

    or

    C, D, E

    depending on your own preference. This means that although I like song C best, it could still be in my worst 3-track span, simply because it is surrounded by the worst songs (i.e. the songs I like least) of the album.

     

    edit: You could also just put B, C, D because actually B and D have the lowest overall rating. But as I said above, it all comes down to your own choices and willingness to 'sacrifice' a good song.

  4. Also I noticed that I never actually look back at the photo's and movies I make during gigs. Not only because the quality isn't that great, but also because it doesn't really capture the moment at all.

    If you just really attend to the fact that the band is right in front of you and focus on having a good time right there and then instead of wanting to record everything, the overall experience will be a lot better. At least for me.

  5. I made a setlist wich I think most fans would be happy with.It.s something old,something new,something borrowed and something blue:D and I had nothing else to do:LOL:

    Bury the past,rob us blind

    and leave nothing [but a shit setlist] behind.:D

    Just stare....and live the nightmare:LOL:

     

    JFK into Reapers?

    Also Revolt as main set closer? Why not SS which is now somewhere mid set.

  6. Yeah. I can see a little bit why they keep American shows a bit more low-energy. It must be a bit draining to play your guts out to a dead crowd. I used to come back from shows in Holland with my voice gone for days and some sore muscles. Sure, I'm a bit older now, but if I had moved or screamed or sang along loudly I'd have looked like a complete dick in this dead crowd.

     

    Which says a lot, because as far as European crowds go the ones from The Netherlands aren't even the most active.

  7. Nope it's definitely not playback: if you really pay attention to it you can always hear slight variations in the playing. Way of strumming, timing, extra nonsense he does inbetween sections.

    He is just so experienced running around while playing guitar that it doesn't make much of a difference anymore. I mean, look at how he can play the Hysteria solo perfectly while swinging the guitar from side to side, and also the plug in baby riff while 'pirouetting'.

  8. Could be they changed it? Because my girlfriend also said to me yesterday "Oh apparently we can also buy tickets in a Ziggo-presale which starts at 10 am." Not that we needed it, but.

    Also on Twitter there was this guy who replied to my "I've got tickets" tweet with "I thought the Ziggo presale only began at 10 am?"
