    Default Songs You Expect?

    Whenever you go see a band or a singer you expect to hear certain songs by the performer, when the performer chooses not to perform her/ his old songs do you get disappointed? I mean, even with a live DVD?

    I don't expect the most popular songs, I just hope to hear the obscure songs that I love.

    Playing just the singles, over and over again, will get boring for the bands.

    I do get dissapointed, specially if the song has personal meaning for me.

    You have to give them some credit, since usually the songs people want to hear the most are the ones that they have to play over and over. They must get sick of it eventually. I know that Kurt Kobain used to completely mess up "Smells like Teen Spirit" in Nirvana's later years due to his hatred of the song, but then again KK was a bit of an ass-hat at times.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Aye, tis dissapointing if they miss a fave. I caught Clutch on Wednesday and they missed out three of my favourite songs. They played fantastically, and it was an outstanding gig, I was just a bit dissapointed I didn't see my favourites live.

    I havn't heard The Rasmus live yet, but I plan to next time they come to Manchester.

    But from what Ive heard about them live recently is that they don't play one of my favourite songs. The reason is because Apocalyptica play cello's in the song also, but they arn't at the concert, obviously?
    That song is so awesome!

    I think there must be some military backstory that I am unfamiliar with.

    I don't expect bands to play anything, since it's their show and they can choose to play what they like. I wouldn't wish it upon any band to have to play the same song day in day out for years, unless they really want to. I will, however, be disappointed if my favourites are left out of the setlist, like when I saw Interpol and they left out Specialist and Stella was a Diver and she was always down. The sad thing is, they played them both the very next night.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    I went to a U2 concert, they did so many encores they covered pretty much every decent song they ever did.
