Hypothetical Setlist

[darrenbacker]

Hey,

 

Say it is your birthday. And you are dying. And you win a contest and for some reason Matt Good agrees.

 

You get to pick a set list for his show (full band).

 

What album would the majority of songs be from?

[Prometheon]

15 Hours on a Septmeber Thursday. I've never heard any of the songs live before, and I love every single one, so it'd be fantastic to see.

 

I'd also volunteer to play drums in the band.

Wow. Unconventional. But he wouldn't need that much of a band for those. ;)

 

I would have to say Avalanche. The live versions of those songs seem to be really powerful. I wouldn't want him to play "Song for the Girl," obviously.

[ziget]

It would be really cool to see him perform the epic songs (mostly from Avalanche) and some other arrangements, but all of them with a live symphony orchestra.

[decomposinglight]

live symphony orchestra.

One word: BEAST.

[WhatamNot]

I'm gonna say from Last of the ghetto astronauts, because I love she's got a new disguise

[AnOceanPearl]

No Hello Time Bomb.

No Apparitions.

Definitely Sort of a Protest Song.

And then anything he else he wants to play.

[decomposinglight]

I love she's got a new disguise

I love that song, too, but everyone else seems to think it's too repetitive. It just makes me FEEL something. Sadness, mainly.

I agree wholeheartedly.

[AnOceanPearl]

I love She's Got a New Disguise.

 

I'd probably ask him to play songs that weren't singles, or have only been played once or twice, like Let's Get it On, I Miss New Wave, Failing the Rorschach Test etc etc, and songs I miss hearing, like Born to Kill and Running For Home.

[Shiri]

I'd want to hear mostly Beautiful Midnight and Audio Of Being.

[Peter]

Sort of a Protest Song and The Workers Sing a Song of Mass Production. I could die happy.

[Audio of Being]

Fated (acoustic)

Man of Action (with the strings)

WWWHR (again with the strings)

Avalanche

House of Smoke and Mirrors

The Rat Would Be King

Born To Kill (with the strings yet again)

and then I wouldn't care what he played.

[RicardoObviouso]

ok, so say you're a siamese twin and it's your birthday. your twin brother is gay and his boyfriend is coming over to celebrate but you've only got one ass.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

exactly.

[cman]

Rico 12 times each show so nobody yells about it anymore.

[here is no why]

i'd love to hear Audio of Being front to back.

Best post ever?

i do what i can.

[middle_class_gangster]

Seanathon...you put some serious thought into that playlist :)You cant forget She's Got A New Disguise, Can't Get Shot In The Back, While We Were Hunting Rabbits, 99% Of Us Is Failure, Tripoli, Truffle Pigs, A Boy And His Machine Gun, Advertising On Police Cars, Alert Status Red, It's Been Awhile Since I Was Your Man and Born Losers....I could seriously listen to everything he has ever done all in one sitting.

[decomposinglight]

I could seriously listen to everything he has ever done all in one sitting.

Oh god. That would take so long.

Note: I didn't read the OP before I typed this up, but if I had to pick just an album, I'd go with Audio of Being since so many great songs from that have never made it into the rotation.

[LisaCharly]

I'd agree with AoB. I feel like it's a crowning achievement of an album.

Symbolistic White Walls

Weapon

Avalanche

Under the Influence

Advertising on Police Cars

It would be a crazy downcast and depressed show, though.
