Possible Songs

Recommended Posts

I made a set list that I think would be pretty awesome

 

Truffle Pigs

Breath of a Nation

Can't Get Shot in the Back

Bright End of Nowhere

So Long Mrs. Smith

Apparitions

In A World Called Catastrophe

Weapon

Advertising on Police Cars

Tripoli

The Fine Art of Falling Apart

House of Smoke and Mirrors

--------encore--------

Prime Time Deliverance

The Rat Who Would Be King

Avalanche

It's a pretty sweet list, but I just don't see certain songs being played acoustically by one person. 'Avalanche' is the one that comes to mind. I'm sure it could be done but it would sound pretty different from what we're used to hearing.

 

Sounding different may not be a bad thing but yes I agree Avalanche would be difficult to adapt to acoustic. However I think the rest of the list is very plausible.

True, sounding different isn't always bad, but also remember how different-sounding 'Hello Time Bomb' and 'North American For Life' sounded on Rooms. They weren't exactly universally acclaimed. Oh well. It would be an interesting listen, at the very least.

I'm praying for symbolistic white walls. also i think "a boy and his machine gun could work out really well acoustically. I agree that born to kill would be really neat but if it is done it has to be perfect it is my favorite song of all time.

He can't pull off the vocals.

How can't he? He played The Rat Who Would Be King (which he sang perfectly) when he was in Saskatoon last year and those vocals are way harder to pull off.

He means that he can't pull them off because there's so much echoing and background singing and stuff. Would require too much equipment and backup singers.

 

Edit: Upon listening to the song more closely, he probably COULD pull it off, and it would be a very very different song, as the first one is extremely orchestral.

There are songs that we want to hear him play on this tour, and there are songs that Matt will be able to play, no offence to him, but we gotta remember he is a rythm guitarist through and through (Matt was mentioning this on the mblog a little while ago) and unless he can take a song and turn it into 3 or 4 chords he probaly wont try it, just look at rooms, pretty much everything is A,G,C,Am with obvious variations inbetween, yet they all have thier own feel and if they were just instrumentals we could probaly name right away without lyrics
