    A. A lot of the songs are faster with Matt on drums. It's not a bad thing. It's just his style. A lot of songs needed to be sped up to fit with his drum style. There is a lot of energy when songs are played live as well. This is truly just a guess though. :)

    Yeah that is True...either way it's one of my favourite songs.

    They play it so much, they got got so good at it, they just play it faster now because they are so good at that song.
    And to leave more time to play the 35 other songs that they plan on playing each night!

    I'm with the 'let's cram as many songs into a set list as possible' theory. Every time I've seen them whole bunch of songs are played at warp speed!

    Double edge sword. Can't bear Mario Mega Mushrooom Even Flow listening to a bootleg on the iPod, definitely a skipper. But when at the gig, in the moment, bring it on! Love it, more tunes the better.

    Even Flow on the record sounds crazy slow to me now!

    Off topic, but that 3.5 hour gig Milton Keynes, was the best I've ever seen. My fav has always been Verona 2006. But the amount of songs and the variety of stuff, was just amazing. I reckon that's why they are alla bit faster.

    Damn I'm gonna miss the tour.... :(

    I know how you feel and I wish they would slow SOLAT back down a little too... such a killer song, but the dynamics change when it is sped up...

    Minus the chipmunk voice, that is only a little faster than the band these days.

    The drummer is the time keeper in the band. Matt has had a sped up effect on many PJ songs undoubtedly but most sound better live that way.

    Totally agree with SOLAT! The remastered version is so killer, I wish they would play it at that speed during shows. Song loses some of it soul when it is sped up.

    its the drumming. i think dave a. and jack irons were great by not overdoing it. matt is good, but i think his drumming gets a bit cluttered at times. anyway, what do i know

    Ya see,I'm in other camp.I love the singles version of SOLAT.Im always waiting for it to catch up on the remastered version when it is timed down.Its one of my songs that make a set list for me
    Live and I think it needs the faster tempo.
