The sun fired blanks? Yeah, thats a great choice to refresh the setilist.
Projector has so many great songs, but the most played was the nice but not my fave UnDocontrol.
This setlist raises my expectations for the gig in munich on friday
Hallöchen! Does anyone know this guy? I think he's wicked. And a bastard because he sees DT like five times per year. Verdammte Summerbreeze, they always play there
. Do post the photos of the gig here!
Yeah UnDocontrol is getting kind of old, I now find that song a bit boring, musically speaking. Perhaps I listened to it too many times.
But indeed! Projector has so many excellent songs that the band should do a Projector + Haven tour! Now wouldn't that be something!
Hey, that album is still second in the "favourite album" thread, so that has to mean something.
Well yeah if they were to expand their setlist, that would be awesome. What if they try to break the record of longest heavy metal show? I think that record is currently being hold by Manowar
There's a lot of songs I'd want to add, but especially from Projector and Haven I think. They're DT's most underrated albums, if not among the most underrated albums in the world. No One or On Your Time would be brilliant, but also Nether Novas or To A Bitter Halt would be good. As for Haven, I was already over-excited that they played the title track this tour, apart from the usual The Wonders At Your Feet (which is a classic too, and shouldn't be replaced). Furthermore, I would like to see At Loss For Words there (which is probably never going to happen). I think the odds would be better for Feast Of Burden there. In addition to that I would like to see Fabric as well
Two songs I really missed were Dreamlore Degenerate and The Treason Wall. As for The Treason Wall, that was replaced with Damage Done so that was fine, since DD is my favourite track from that album.
Manowar, I believe, has the one for the
loudest show, and Lordi has the one of "most people singing at the same time an entire song" or something for Hardrock Hallelujah.
Ohhhh yes At Loss for Words! Being an (applied) linguist, I always love all those DT songs that have to do with words and not being able to express yourself.
#1: Sun Fired Blanks is an all time top 5 DT song. The melody in the chorus should be someone's national anthem. Further, listen closely for the bass at the beginning of the quiet breakdown. It's got all the color and drama of Nether Novas during this quiet moment in the song.
#2: Punish My Heaven and Terminus... take them. They're probably the two most popular DT songs ever, but neither one really does it for me. They're both good, but I think they pale in comparison to some of the other nuggets in the band's repertoire and it mystifies me that they are so popular by comparison.
#3: As I understand it, Indifferent Suns was written by someone who is no longer in the band, so it probably got dropped for songs the current members think are more awesome.
Yeah, TSFB is a stupendous song. I haven't paid much attention to the bass, kind of hard to get it at times, but I'll pay more attention.
Terminus and PMH are great songs, and I want them to remain on the setlist. I
completely agree that there're much better songs than those (Rundown comes to mind right now), but those are the über-classics (if you notice, one for each generation, the old and the new) and my guess is that they'll always stay in the setlist. Unless there's a Projector + Haven tour. Or unless I see DT five more times, in which it'd be fine to take those songs out.
Indifferent Suns was written by Niklasson + Henriksson, so I guess there
might be some "copyright" issues. Maybe, who knows, but I guess that since Martin H. composed it too they should be able to play it live.
The Gathering does the same, Anneke wrote the lyrics but Hans and René composed the songs. Funny story: There was a point in which some songs were played by two bands: TG with Silje on vocals, and Anneke as a solo artist
. Binary Strange Machines!
