Songs by your favorite bands you really like but they'll never play live?

[sweepthenation]

So I was just thinking about some of my favorite songs that will never be played live for some reason or other, or that the band has permanently dropped from their setlist.

Coming to mind

Underoath: To Whom It May Concern
All Time Low: Coffee Shop Soundtrack (Apparently they dropped it from their setlist on their headlining tour)
Blink 182 - Shut Up
Chiodos - We're Gonna Have Us A Champagne Jam
Fall Out Boy - Chicago Is So Two Years Ago

[MattArkin]

thursday - steps ascending

death cab - tiny vessels



still waiting.

thursday's playing 'war all the time' in full at a couple concerts in new york

[Smugsy]

Bomb the Music Industry's cover of A Shine to It would be lovely, but without being able to depend on TECHNOLOGY I'm not sure Jeff can sustain that long note in there.

[xmicxcorex]

I have yet to see Coheed and Cambria perform Time Consumer live, and would love to.

I did get to see Chiodos do We're Gonna Have Us a Champagne Jam on their 2006 Summer tour with I believe The Sleeping, Downers, and Fear Before the March of Flames.

I've seen FOB play that song 3 times probably. Have you just never seen them live, or do they not play the old stuff these days?

Last I heard they officially retired it last year at one of their hometown shows.

theres a bunch of videos of them playing live that song on youtube. maybe they dont play it anymore though, but they have.

That's so wrong! I'd rather hear other songs, but that is the perfect song to play in Chicago.

[SophGod]

Thursday - I1100

[kbi the crowing]

Coheed and Cambria - Hearshot Kid Disaster, Backend of Forever, Willing Well I (Neverender excluded, obviously)
The Fall of Troy - We Better Learn How To Hotwire a Uterus

[muttley]

As far as I know, Mock Orange doesn't really play their older stuff anymore. That's a shame. On the bright side, I probably won't be seeing them live anytime soon anyways, if ever.

I've seen both of these bands a lot (All Time Low like 4 or 5 times and Fall Out Boy 10 or 11) and they definitely play both of these live. When did you hear that All Time Low stopped playing that song?

I'm almost positive ive seen both FOB and UO, respectively, play both of those songs

[topher465]

Definitely The Haunting by Anberlin...they've only played it once acoustically from what i can see...and any song from SDRE from The Rising Tide...

[roughroads]

Brand new - Seventy Times Seven. (seen em' twice haven't heard it.... Don't lie, we all love it)
Something Corporate - Konstantine. (I'd fucking kill to see it)
Blink 182 - A New Hope. (just cause I'm a fanboy)
Motion City Soundtrack - When Your around, acoustic. (Haven't seen them yet, I am guessing they don't, but i actually don't know)

All Time Low - Last Flight Home (back from before they were generic shitty pop)
All American Rejects - The Last Song (didn't play it the one time i saw them, but who knows)

[The Summer Ends]

Dashboard Confessional - A Plain Morning
All Time Low - Hometown Heroes, National Nobodies (lol @ this song title now, still a great song), Break Out! Break Out!, The Party Scene
Hit The Lights - Say What You Want To Say

[sweepthenation]

Can you guys not read? I said they retired them, as in they used to play them but no longer do. UO on their fall headlinign tour last year didn't play that song, FOB I have heard according to numerous people retired Chicago this year, and on the ATL headlining tour, where they are playing 15 songs a night, the only PUOSU song they play is Jasey Rae.

[1mastalker]

This thread reminds me of when I saw I Am The Avalanche. Some guy yelled out "PLAY HAND GRENADE!!!" and Vinnie made this whole speech how The Movielife is over and even though he misses playing those songs IATA will never play The Movielife songs.

[xJesusFreakx]

Brand New - "Untitled 05"

All Time Low played Coffee Shop Soundtrack when I saw them three weeks ago in London. They also played Jasey Rae.

as for my list:

Lost Prophets - We Are Godzilla, You Are Japan
New Found Glory - 47
The Used - Lunacy Fringe

[gr33ndayfr3ak]

New Found Glory has so many good b-sides that I'm sure they'll never play live. Specifically 'Radio Adelaide' and 'Whiskey Rose'.

[Absolut_Punk]

Haste the Day- Substance

Seen em' 16 times (from my area) and they will NOT play that song, so frustrating.

[gr33ndayfr3ak]

Also, when I saw Green Day a few months ago they didn't play 'When I Come Around' or 'Welcome To Paradise' and I was very upset.

[bradsonemanband]

False. Last time I saw Jack's, Andrew explicitly said "Sorry, I don't play that song anymore."

buy SoCo's LIVE AT THE VENTURA THEATER dvd. Konstantine is on there.

[xJesusFreakx]

Band - "Song"

They played it last time I saw them. Duh.

[fanberlinboy]

Switchfoot - Lonely Nation
Anberlin - Retrace, Haight St., The Haunting, Downtown Song, Said and Done, Heavier Things Remain, Stationary Stationery, Naive Orleans (yeah, that's a lot. I know haha)
Between the Trees - The Fort
The Rocket Summer - High Life Scenery

read the thread you're posting in. all these bands play these songs live.
especially say anything. are you kidding? i don't think they've ever gone a show without playing that shitty song

[chassmariee]

Konstantine
Damn straight.

[roughroads]

buy SoCo's LIVE AT THE VENTURA THEATER dvd. Konstantine is on there.
ya but that show was recorded in 2004, since then Andrew has stated numerous times that he dosen't want to play that song anymore.

[mulcahy67]

theyll especially never play that song anymore.
considering right now theyre not a band.

Actually last time I saw Fall Out Boy, which was two months ago, they played Chicago Is So Two Years Ago and I almost lost it. I totally agree with Shut Up by Blink-182. It's one of my favorite Blink songs.

[tcemoo]

Konstantine sucks it was always a drag when you'd go see SoCo and they'd but out a 10 minute slow song. Talk about killing the mood.

I'm going to go with...

Logan to Government Center by Brand New
Anything not named "Dammit" on Dude Ranch by Blink 182
Thrice - In Years to Come
NFG - The Great Houdini
Weezer - Crab
Thursday - Standing on the Edge of Summer

[Broclee]

The Rocket Summer - High Life Scenery

I saw Bryce play this on the AP tour, and unless he retired it before that headlining tour that skipped NC, I'd assume he's still playing it.

[vincentgrippi]

I'm STILL yet to hear "All Star Me" by Saves the Day, live.

[emo_boo]

Blink 182 - zulu
Brand New - Last Chance to Lose Your Keys, Noro
Straylight run - I guess any of the songs where michelle has lead vocals?
Dashboard Confessional - This Is a Forgery, The Warmth of the Sand

[mrnegativezero]

Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug

I was really disappointed that they didn't play this on their Wave Goodbye tour (even though I didn't go.)

[fanberlinboy]

I saw Bryce play this on the AP tour, and unless he retired it before that headlining tour that skipped NC, I'd assume he's still playing it.
I just know he didn't play it on the Fall 08 tour. Or at least not at my date.

[brokenmixtape]

Blink 182 - Anthem

[LastDeclaration]

Brand New - The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot
The Starting Line - everything, I guess, since they're dead. But back when they were together they never played The B-List, for some reason, and I always thought that song would sound so great live.
Bright Eyes - lots of songs. Digital Ash stuff.

I saw the Digital Ash tour where he played the whole album all the way through each night, then did Lover I Don't Have to Love for the encore. Twas pretty stellar.

Sweet Jesus. I would kill. I'm YouTubing this right now. Whenever I hear I Believe in Symmetry I always imagine how incredible it would be live.

Where did you hear about this? The cannot NOT play this song.

At least they still play Jasey Rae. But I think it's ridiculous of them to stop playing the single that got them noticed.

[eliselovesmusic]

Fall Out Boy - Pavlove


in fact FOB generally have shit set lists these days...

That's so wrong! I'd rather hear other songs, but that is the perfect song to play in Chicago.

By last year do you mean 09? Because they definitely played it in Chicago in May 09.

As for ATL, I'd say it's too soon to say permanently. But a song I'd love to see them play that they probably never will is Poison. I mean, sure, there's old Party Scene and Three Words To Rememember songs, but they played those in the past. Way past, so I'm not even thinking it's a possibility.

They used to close their set with it. But the last time I saw then was 05, so I suppose they could have gotten rid of it.

on the brightside she could choke- fear before

I wonder if they've ever played that live...hmmm.

[kbi the crowing]

mewithoutYou - any song off of [A-->B] Life

[ilovetocuddle]

Every TEN song ever

im going with this too.

[Lirr168]

buy SoCo's LIVE AT THE VENTURA THEATER dvd. Konstantine is on there.

I have a good quality live recording already, but it's not the same as being there and hearing it for myself.

[boxingwithstars]

Konstantine

if you mean Jack's Mannequin will never play Konstantine, you're correct. Something Corporate played that song live all the damn time... they just haven't played together as a band in four or five years.

[Volo]

Brand new - Seventy Times Seven. (seen em' twice haven't heard it.... Don't lie, we all love it)Saw them in Indianapolis, we got this right after Mix Tape.

These. I've heard Coffee Shop Soundtrack played, but it was quite some time ago. I haven't heard them play it in over a year. :/

[voncorn]

I was lucky enough to see them play it back in April, for only the third time in six years.

[TheFaceOfZach]

Opeth - Moonlapse Vertigo and Black Rose Immortal.

[phil19]

would love to hear queen of pain by alkaline trio live

[ThisIsSuchAPity]

Every TEN song ever

Ace played "Decoration" and "I Want To Hear You Sad" in Cleveland.

[deathcabkid11]

death cab - tiny vessels


still waiting.

At the 2008 show that was the encore, followed by Trans. When did you see them play?

I wish they'd play What Sarah Said.

[fly_guy]

Ace played "Decoration" and "I Want To Hear You Sad" in Cleveland.

That isn't the Early November, though. Thats Ace :-(.

Still awesome, I would've killed to see it

[DogSizedBird]

on the brightside she could choke- fear before

I've seen them play this twice actually. They brought it back for a couple shows in Denver, I was at the one where we convinced them to play it for the first time in 6 years actually. I got so excited.



But stuff I will never see but would love to is mostly Nine Inch Nails stuff they've never played. And All That Could Have Been being the song I would snap open babies to see.

[ThisIsSuchAPity]

That isn't the Early November, though. Thats Ace :-(.

Close enough, in my opinion. Still Ace's songs.
