I also usually like to know the setlist before I go see a band in concert. I dont know why, but I find it hard to recognize songs from even my favorite bands when played live. So if im prepared for what they are going to play, then I will be able to recognize it easier. Its not like a mike a compilation cd and listen to solely whats going to be played, but its just that its sometimes fun to know what they are going to play, at least imo.
I hope Alexi isnt too fucked up when I go see them. I do have a feeling that hes getting too roped into the rock star image, and is really being too sure of himself. I already read in an interview that if his future records dont sell more than the previous ones, hes gonna stop playing. I just didnt like when he said that, it kind of offended me. I love listening to their music, and kind of wanted to think they were really genuine and were just out for a good time. If hes doped up, ill be very dissapointed.
