  1. You never know, Matt does tend to change solos live sometimes. Reapers has been played pretty much exactly the same, note-for-note, since it was first played though so I don't expect it to change.
  2. Probably closer to Explorers, I really have no idea what to expect from that song anymore though
  3. I massively doubt we'll get a stream until the week of the 1st. In terms of specific days, I'm betting on either the 1st or the 3rd. Well, I did say 'mostly uplifting and bright'. The outro and verse are kinda dark. Overall though, I just find it to be fun. The whammy tapping sections, funky/dancey pre-chorus and chorus, Morello-esque solo and 80s robot vocoders always make me smile.
  4. Only in the sense that the lyrics are about killing. Other than that, I like Assassin because it feels quite dark and twisted (the distorted barbership quartet and eerie pickup screams). I find Reapers mostly bright and uplifting sonically (apart from the outro). Polar opposites really.
  5. Taking into the account the new 'All you've done is brutalise' line, I take it as Matt saying something like "You've got these great, powerful organisations built to protect people and you use them to fuck shit up." As for the 'babe' thing, it's probs just a double meaning for a cruel/vicious lover like loads of other people have said.
  6. Nah. There's a distinct 'aw' phoneme, as opposed to the 'oh' in drones. Plus, 'reapers and drones' wouldn't really make sense. I thought that for a bit as well. I've heard a 'b' where there should be a 'm' for 'men' for quite a while now though.
  7. The chorus is one of the main reasons I've loved it so much. I've been singing it just about everywhere I go since I first heard it, even though I didn't know the lyrics Defector's grown on me the most. Finally got hold of some audio of it from the Making Of so I could listen to it again and the riff's been stuck in my head ever since. Also, that solo <3 Hopefully the full song pays off.
  8. I guess there's a chance it could've been on the set and they've just decided to switch it out for something else at the last minute. Set seems to have been a bit muddled today. Starting then stopping Interlude, starting PIB then seemingly switching to a completely different tone for a different song then going back to PIB... Or maybe Tom continues to tease but rarely please.
  9. When someone streams on Periscope, an announcement pops up on their Twitter feed. I don't have Twitter but someone who did posted the link in the Drones discussion thread I think. As for how I caught it - I don't really sleep
