    Shannon would go insane if he heard that song again... i've seen radio shows etc where they pretty much say we are sick of this song and dont want to play it.

    Was great to see them with travis @ astoria 2.

    It's funny how No Rain was the first song I heard from them... and then after discovering all their other songs.... it's now the last song that I want to hear from them. But yes it's still a classic... definitely made people aware of this great band!
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    and yet, still, they play it at every show.

    Yeah, Travis sounds really good live on the old songs, but his lyric writing on the new album is terrible!

    Well i guess some things they gotta do you know. Fans wouldn't turn up to shows if they didn't hear no rain and it is their occupation. In an ideal world they probably wouldn't play it.
