I felt about the same way when they put in a bunch of songs from Appeal to Reason. I mean, last time I saw them, they didn't play a single song from their first two albums. And that was the last night of the tour and in Chicago. You would think maybe they would throw in a couple older songs for the hometown crowd on the last night of the tour. Hell, Bad Religion played several songs that night that they had not played the entire tour. I just wish Rise Against would have done the same. But anyway, as to this tour, that setlist doesn't really do that much for me and makes me glad I didn't buy a ticket for this tour.
Unfortunately, I think RA's long since been a commercially-oriented band. Which is unfortunate, I'd like to think they'd be more of one of those fan-catering bands, but oh well.

ADTR's set list sucks.. It's complicated really??!? In my opinion that's their worst song they have. Oh well, i'm still stoked to see them both together. How is the crowd?

These songs should cease to exist from every ADTR concert that is played from this point forward. If they weren't such a bunch of sell outs, they'd do what TDWP did (Back to the Roots tour) and have a tour strictly for their older fans. That would be unbelievable. But instead, they'll just keep boring us all to death and making little hot topic girls happy by playing the songs everyone and their grandma knows.

You can't be a sellout when the whole point of your band was to blowup by making shitty/trendy music in the first place. The sell out label fits Rise Against way better. That's a band that was actually very good at one point and then turned into shit by making radio rock albums.

Ah. You're one of those people who think they're cool because they don't listen to that "Generic shit" and listens to "Underground". It's okay you'll grow up eventually. And about selling out, So I'm guessing no band wants to make money right? No band wants to get big and actually have a lot of people going to their shows and buying their albums right? When I meant selling out, I meant by basically forgetting about your "root" albums if you will and just focusing and relying on the albums/songs that get radio airplay. Its fine to be successful. I'd be extremely happy and proud if I was them. But don't forget about the songs, the albums, and the fans who got you this far by playing all the radio airplay songs. This also can go for Rise Against as well.

It would be fine if they kept Downfall and Have Faith imo, but they need to forget all about their last album... And yeah, they definitely won't be doing any "Back To The Roots"-esque tours haha.
