2011: We won't be playing most of the OOS songs after this

 

2013: Most OOS songs missing, most notably New Born and Bliss

 

2015: Just kidding, they're back

Did you honestly think they'd kill off New Born, Bliss, PIB, Feeling Good and CE?

 

When they said R/L would be the last time they'd play some stuff, it was pretty obvious they were referring to things like Screenager, Megalomania, Darkshines and Space Dementia (even if I'm pretty confident at least two of those will get played again eventually).

 

Edit: And, even then, PIB's the only that's still an out-and-out regular.

New Born was common in 2013.

[LewisF]

New Born was common in 2013.

 

So was Bliss, no?

[Clunge]

One of the first shows back in 2012, iTunes Festival, IIRC, they played New Born in the encore and Matt said something about how they couldn't let it go.

Which is particularly funny, given how much he seems to hate it now

[Boombleeb]

New Born was common in 2013.

 

I was mostly just talking about most of the recorded shows (Personal Fest 2013..etc..) which had next to no OOS songs in it

That's weirdly specific...

Disappeared a lot in the US.I don't remember how common it was in the stadiums.

[FabriPav]

Why?

[LewisF]

Why?

 

Defies logic. How can we be expected to know that he/she was talking about the recorded shows (which is weird anyway, as if all the other shows just didn't exist)?

[Hat]

Defies logic.

Well it is MWAH. I mean he still has barely made a sensible post since he joined.

He was asked about Megalomania after the Rome stadium gig and he alluded to it coming back at some point in the right setting. I'd say Space Dementia will definitely come back too.

 

Screenager and Darkshines though...

 

Edit: Although having said that Hyper Music could easily have been in the same boat since it was played roughly as much as those two pre-R/L; most of the time on the OoS tour, HM had one show in 2003 and there are sources (which no one can seem to prove or disprove) of Darkshines being played once in 2004. Then HM made a comeback at Zepp and maintained its status as a go-to song for club gigs for them.

 

Besides, if Futurism of all things can return I wouldn't rule out Darkshines ever coming back.

[LewisF]

I agree on the point of SD and Megalomania, but I reckon that Darkshines could potentially do an Apocalypse Please and come back at some point. I definitely think that Screenager will never come back though

[Jobby]

Yeah, Screenager's the only one I'm definite on being dead forever (</3 honestly a shout for their most underrated song imo). I can see Meg being played maybe two or three times if they have an organ available or something. Space Dementia's probs the most likely 'cause the band don't seem too adverse to it and it's highly regarded/gets requested by hardcores.

 

I seem to remember Chris mentioning Darkshines as one that went surprisingly well at L/R as well? Probs has a solid chance if it gets requested for a club gig. Only things I can see going particularly against it are that it's not as easily accessible as something like Hyper Music and Matt might not wanna sing it if his vocals are still rough.

Wonder if they knew that Ulster had an organ (or even remembered Megalomania existed last year).

It was on the original setlist for that gig but they didn't play it in the end

 

[Jobby]

^ Looking back, that's actually not a bad guess for Reapers' placement considering we didn't have a clue what it sounded like at the time

The TiRO, Reapers, Stockholm run actually happened at least twice (DL and RW) on the festival tour too.

Not a single sensible post?

 

I think I've made a few of them...

[kueller]

Imagine actually ending on Assassin>Drones.

[JimmyP117]

Woah woah, which gig is that set list from? I don't recall Hoodoo and Megalomania being soundchecked in recent times?

 

Edit: Ulster? The actual set list was very different to that.

[serpentsatellite]

If you haven't been keeping track, ryanp16 likes to post fake setlists. And fake news.

[ryanp16]

That set was the pinnacle of my trolling career. Special thanks to Fabri for circulating it at the time.
