Something that is really starting to confuse me...

[KUEFC09U2]

I read on this forum all the time how they should drop pride, and bring Breathe back as an opener (when it was dropped), but yet i come to read some reviews from some other sites, and i see "Dissapointed they dropped Pride", "They should drop Breathe"), etc etc, i just think it goes to show that the band cannot win, no matter what they do someone somewhere is always dissapointed.

I think you'll find it's called plurality and thank goodness we have it, even if it creates disagreement.

Well, that's the thing when you've got a band that's been on top of the world for 20 years or so and has a gajillion fans - you're just never going to please everybody.

And then there's me, who says keep the both of 'em

Hell, it happens with cult bands with small fan bases too.

Thank you very much!! PRIDE rocks the house, keep BREATHE, Ive said, drop SBS!!

My honest opinion? I read that and conclude that the people on the other sights aren't real fans, just casual listeners.... but who knows! lol!

How is that confusing? Someone somewhere has a different opinion...

Furthermore, it doesn't mean change is useless. If 30% of the fanbase is content at present, there's obviously room for improvement... this despite the fact that, post-changes, ZooMac202222 creates a thread saying he dislikes said changes.

It's just starting to confuse you?

I'm getting used to it, it's normal. I think it's quite entertaining.

There is just no need to make countless new threads for every little thing that someone here might like or not like about a certain show.

Ah, nice try, but the number is more like 95% of the fanbase is content with the setlist. Therefore, screwing with it radically, especially in terms of removing one of U2's most popular sing-alongs of all time, Pride, is dumb.

Confusion is a wonderfull state of mind.

Used low number to make point...

Well that's why I responded, really

Much as I like them to mix things up I'm still delighted to hear Pride when I'm at a gig. It's great to see the casual fans going nuts for it, it makes for a much better atmosphere.

Glad you're happy with it

I'm actually gonna be pretty pissed if I don't hear Pride at Vegas or Rose Bowl....I was glad they dropped it at first, but I never wanted Pride dropped permanently....the best thing for Pride, and for that matter, any of these classics, is rotation...simple as that!

You're confused because you're speaking to generalities here. A more accurate assessment would be to look at the users who commented that they want Pride to be dropped, and see if any of them were disappointed when it was, and same for Breathe.

It's absurd to assume that the whole fan base has one solid opinion. We're as diverse as the bacteria in your mouth.

Can we make that the official tagline for this site?

Scrap both of them and bring "Bad" back!!!

Yes!

I don't give a shit what they play. The last 2 nights made me appreciate every moment I get to hear those guys rock out!

Now that should be on a t-shirt!

Much better slogan than "douchebags with seats."

Consider yourself sigged.

I'm resigned to the reality that I'll never go to a show where ALL of my favorite songs will be played...I could care less actually- I'm just damn glad that they're coming to PHX, which is only two hours away from me...I feel for those who have to travel across states or international borders to see the band, and even more for those who don't have the means to see them at all- they can't even complain about what songs were or were not played at "their shows"

"While the bacteria in my mouth play a striptease..."
