Title says it all. Choose 5 pre-FZ songs that the new line-up has already played, and that, in your opinion, should never disappear entirely from the setlist. Rotation spots are allowed. ------------------------------- My picks One Step Closer - Too Iconic, gets the crowd everytime In the End - Always a definite crowd moment A Place For My Head - I like its status as the eternal outsider. Never guaranteed, always welcome. Faint - The definitive "Jump the f*ck up" moment at every show Waiting for the End - Just too good of a track, and ATS needs at least one mainstay Yup, I could do without Numb or What I've Done. Didn't say it has to be realistic Papercut is a bitter omission, really it was between it and APFMH. BIO would also have made it to a top 10, but being restrictive makes it more interesting I think. Your turn!
I mean it's just the same list, except replace A Place for My Head with Papercut One Step Closer - Before 2005, this closed every single show, first single and what first made people aware of the band. In the End - Let's be honest, Mike and Emily could walk off stage for this one and the crowd would overpower the music with their singing. Papercut - The first song on the first album, Mike has claimed it's the defining LP song, and it's a live staple. Faint - It's just too good to remove. Waiting for the End - They dropped it twice this year, and after the second time the fanbase lost its damn mind, it needs to stay in.
You guys are probably right about Papercut > APFMH in a set. But I have seen Papercut live, and not APFHM, so no way I'd accept its drop before I get to experience it
I like APFMH enough but I've never bought into the massive hype around it in the fanbase personally. It's a banger for sure but I don't go out of my way for it. Just bigger highlights on HT for me. I bet it was Brad
"Faint" "In the End" "Papercut" "One Step Closer" "What I've Done" "Waiting for the End" is my favourite LP song, but I don't care much for this current live iteration of it.
It occurred to me the thread title has a very "clickbait" flavor to it, but I swear this was not intentional
I don't think A Place For My Head is nearly good enough of a song to warrant always being played live. Papercut is way better, also more popular.
