Setlist Graspop 08

There was a fan-recorded compilation video that showed all the above songs being played at the Paris show in the 2006, but it looks like it's been taken down.
 
Is it true that In Flames almost got booed off stage at Graspop? Somebody was telling me that the whole band gave a really half-assed performance and the crowd got really pissed at the lack of old songs.

No. The crowd was really into it, actually. I was VERY sceptical before the show, but I had a great time and they made me appreciate the newer stuff much more than I did beforehand. Great gig!

Ah great, that's really good to hear. I'm glad to hear you had a great time. :)
 
Dissapointing setlist for fans of the older work, but you cant expect much different since theyre touring in support of a new album... and no surprise they would mostly surround the new songs with similar sounding songs and ablums

Good point.
Well said, and I think that most of us have thought that at one point, but it really needed to be said, so thanks.

I agree, btw.
 
I saw IF roughly 2 years ago. I was completely disappointed by their setlist, but this goes beyond all. When I saw them, they played Artifacts, Only for the Weak, and Bullet Ride. Granted it sucked, but this Graspop show is just depressing. The question has already been raised (why play Graveland over anything off of TJR?), but I guess there is no going back. I thought CC was exciting compared to STYE, but I feel ASOP is just BAD compared to any shit metalcore out there. Is it over?
 
I'm not sure if I want In Flames to break up or not. On one hand I want them to stop damaging their reputation, but on the other hand I still hold onto the hope that one day they'll create another brilliant album.
 
They're only damaging their rep within the minority, though. The majority of their nu fans think they're getting better and better, so why would they call it quits? I daresay ASOP will outsell CC, in the same way CC outsold STYE and STYE outsold R2R.
 
They still have tons of fans of their new stuff, and hey, aren't we still all going to their shows and talking about them every day?
No need to shut it down yet....

I'm pretty sure they won't. I'm sure that they'll continue playing the ''new'' riffs. Maybe some growls here and there but i'm sure there won't be anything that would realy bring In flames back to their roots. (Some growls and one acoustic piece doesn't).
 
Hell, I know this isn't exactly about the setlist, but it is about Graspop so..
I just wanted to let everyone who's interested know that we have posted pics and a review of the Graspop gig at our site, Metalmoments, so feel free to stop by. There are also a couple of older shows laying around, and as soon as we get the time, their Metalcamp show will also be added.

Have fun!
 
Would you be so kind to tell me what it was like?

If I remember correctly, the following 'old' songs were rotated in and out of setlists:

Behind Space
Jotun
Food for the Gods
The Hive
Worlds Within the Margin
Episode 666
Artifacts
Moonshield
Graveland
Resin
Colony
Scorn
Embody
Swim
Bullet Ride
Square Nothing
Pinball Map
Only for the Weak
Clayman

I think Gyroscope may have been in there too but I'm not sure about that one.

I wouldn't say no to see this exact set live.
