Will Sirens be played this tour?

Only played three times in 2018. And only once on that European tour in Madrid. From being played like 10 times in the US in 2016.

Skipped on the US 2018 tour and not played even once on the 2022 and 2023 tours.

Did it just drop from the setlist after the Lightning Bolt tour run? Very surprising. It was a single with a music video, did fairly well (?) and was a staple.

    With any luck not at the shows I'm going to.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    Unpopular opinion but I’m not sure why Sirens gets so much hate and people love the likes of Wreckage and Something Special on the new album.

    Exactly. Love all 3. Usually the negative people are the loudest

    Wreckage is powerful to me, especially the chorus outro, Sirens had the “ Black” comparison prior to release that hurt it… it’s a good song, just not legendary as tossed around prior

    I like Sirens and would be happy to hear it at a show, but with the way things seem to be so far, there are about ten catalog slots up for grabs each night; Sirens would have to fight pretty hard to make it to one of those.

    I would definitely love to hear it at a show I attend, especially in a city where it hasn't been played yet.

    Sirens is my wife's favorite song. She basically cries every time. She's a big fan of Mike, so it's great that it's a song of his. She'll be with me at MSG and Baltimore, so we're hoping they play it at one of the three!

    Hopefully not. One of my least favorite PJ songs. PJ walks that line of cheesy or beautifully brilliant better than anyone but this one falls in the cheesy side for me.

    Agree. Wreckage and Something special are on the right side of cheesy IMO. And since those two will take the spot of the cheesy radio-friendly power-ballad on most nights, we won’t hear much of Sirens this tour.

    I wouldn't mind hearing it again. I think I've only heard it once, on the LB tour. I'm curious how people would feel about it if someone other than Brendan produced it. That intro on the studio album does have serious "80's power ballad" vibes that I feel like could have been eliminated with different production choices and could possibly have changed how a lot of people feel about the song.

    Sirens is a sappy and sentimental song. I love it. I will always remember them playing it at the Fenway show and holding my wife's hand, feeling sappy and sentimental, while trying to see around Pesky's Pole.
    1991- Hollywood Palladium, California with Temple of the Dog, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains -RIP Magazine Show Oct. 6th
    1992- Lollapalooza, Irvine, California
    Nothing since then. I suck.
    2016- Fenway Park, Boston - Both glorious nights
    2022- Oakland Night 2
    2024 Sacramento, CA

    I don't hear the cheesy in Sirens. I'm surprised it wasn't used in TV shoes or movies like Just Breathe was. It would have worked nicely on This Is Us

    I also don't hear the "cheesy". A tad 80s power ballad perheps with the Slash-outside-of-a-church solo. 

    But I also for quite some time thought the song was about Sirens in the ocean (like in Force of Nature) painting the song a lot more mysterious and fantastic.

    Live it is a little better for me. The album version is full of cheesy to me. Total 80s power ballad sound combined with some of the bad 90s “grunge” ballads. Again I liked it much better live but don’t ever really need to see it again.

    Funny, I thought so as well for a long time. Then I realized it was about sirens like on a police car.
