There are a lot of people on the board recently with "Please Play" or "Official Petition" threads and it's really a bummer. The band goes out of their way once to dedicate a song to a guy who lost the love of his life and now everyone thinks that if they're persistent enough or have a sad enough story they'll get a song at a show they're attending.
I started this thread because I thought it would be funny to see how long it would go. I remember reading that there was something like over 4000 days between performances of Leash. I wasn't ever asking them to play it at a show I was going to, I just wanted to see how long I could get this to go. Last night though, I was thinking how this could be interpreted as a "Please Play" thread and that's not what my intention ever was. I don't ever think the band should feel obligated to fill anyone's request, and I certainly don't think the band should be pressured into letting someone white an entire set for them. Ever. I love the mix/variety/ebbs and flows that Ed and the guys piece together every night and I would love to continue to see that happen.
I'm leaving this thread buried. I don't want it bumped anymore as I really don't want go give the impression that I wanted this to "be seen by someone" and have the song played.
