Originally posted by MoFoNYR15:I’ve never personally attacked any member here. My attacks or criticism is against the band we’re all here to discuss, GOOD OR BAD. I don’t tolerate when someone personally attacks another member. I’m constantly having to go in circles with members like u every time I have a negative opinion. What a waste of time.

please, honestly i beg of you, don't stay away. Even with three or four rotations that is a terrible set. If those of us who know this band is, or at least should be, better than this stay away then the "anti-critics" have won and after being a fan for 37 years I'm not having that I've invested too much of my time into this band.

So you don’t consider accusing someone of being blinded by fandom as a criticism of someone. I wouldn’t go as far as say attack but it’s definitely putting down someone’s view.

Now we are comparing u2 to Duran Duran, oh lord.

Well you’re being blinded by your own arrogance I’m afraid.
so sorry for being so mean to those who love the set Originally posted by MoFoNYR15:[..]
Haha. Challenging yourself is going out of the box. Stepping out of your comfort zone. Now is a perfect time for them to actually do that. They’re not the same live draw or popular band they once were. Pull out some songs, vary up the set. Their catalogue is fucking massive at this point. Explore it! Showcase it!

Yes, yes and yes. Thank you, I'm glad I'm on the same thought process as you, because nine times out of ten on this forum you hit the nail on the head.
This setlist is disappointing: the closing part is dull, the replicating of the end of the first set is unambitious, they're playing COBL & American Soul, Beautiful Day is still there... there's just barely anything to get excited about. I'm only looking forward to seeing The Ocean, Staring at the Sun, HMTMKMKM and the crumbs of comfort on SOE. That's worrying. The set needs an overhaul, and I hope it changes drastically by the end of the first leg.
