Seeing them Live - Concerts and gigs thread.

[TPD]

i kinda like the drastically different approach to the songs. especially how they changed up the keyboard heavy ones into guitar based ones.
having said that, i totally need keyboards next time i catch them.

I had to lolz at where it said Robert Smith now sings the more PC "Killing Another" instead of "Killing an Arab."   

[Naylzie]

Since that song was the catalyst for me to read the Camus story on which it's based (laugh if you like; it really probably was equal parts literary curiosity and fangirlishness), that bit makes me go

dude, i know it sounds lame... but it's a hell of a lot better than what he first changed it to...

kissing an arab!


i wish i was joking.

[doom]

since the disappearance, ive seen:

Iron Maiden, Primus, Manchester Orchestra, Deftones (again) with Dillinger Escape Plan and Le Butcherettes, and Amon Amarth.

[kristin]

He changed it to Kissing an Arab? GTFO.

[r00]

I just find the fact that he changed it when it has nothing to do with OMGISLAMOPHOBIA so ridiculous.  IMO, it's along the same line of schools that now use censored versions of Mark Twain books for their kids to read.  8(

[TPD]

i think it's because robert smith knows a lot of people are dumb and wants to remove any potential dumbness the song could cause.

kinda like how they painted "rock the casbah" on bombs they dropped in iraq and it made joe strummer cry.

i think smith just wants to avoid that bullshit. hell, the song isn't even available in any newly mastered cure cds.

[rynne]

Robert Smith's original idea for the song was about an HVAC engineer who crewed on the Pequod.


















"Chilling an Ahab," natch.

Fucking seriously?  No way.  Audio link or it didn't happen.  That's just...  fuck, man. 

"Chilling an Ahab," natch.

*dies*

Saw apc last night. It was a nice mellow show, could have done with less emotive but whatever.

[TPD]

jealous!
edit: holy fuck, luna, you weren't kidding about the tour being emotive heavy. yeeesh.

and rynne is da fuckin man. see? that was worth alone sending him that stalker letter.

[Aaron]

Magdalena was played. And that is my favorite song by them. SO I think I wouldn't have minded the emotive stuff...

[luna]

Haven't listened to the album in ages but I think it was much better live anyways...definitely played lots of awesome songs too, totally worth the trip
