I don't think Unthought Known should be played this much

    thankfully there is an emoticon for this ...

    great live band; plays 30+ songs every night; mixes each show up; on stage for 2.5+ hrs; reasonably priced tickets

    and people just have to find something to complain about ... c'mon folks - this is at least a double :fp: with a head shake ... :lol:

    AND its a brilliant song. :fp:
    Happy up here in my tree

    It absolutely comes to life live. I'm always happy to hear it, glad it's in regular rotation. Also happens to be my favorite off of BS.

    It's very enjoyable live, and I won't complain about hearing it. But, yeah, I wouldn't mind it being replaced with In Hiding or Force of Nature. Having heard Unthought at all 5 of my PJ shows is kind of uncanny.

    Yeah, I'm not much of a fan because of some of the lyrics, but I think a lot of PJ fans really love this song a lot. So it's for them. :)

    I agree. However, the song might be better than anything on lightning bolt. Should of just called the new album backspacer2

    I could not disagree with you more. It is NOTHING like Backspacer (that really isn't even an opinion, but a fact), and 1000 times better (definitely opinion :P ).

    Ugh. One of the worst PJ songs ever written. I don't understand why anyone would ever want to hear it live.... this song collecting makes sense to a point, but not when people want to hear HORRIBLE songs just so they can say they saw it.

    Good point, and agreed. I'd definitely take a big handful other songs over Unthought, but when I do hear it I'm not upset, even having heard it at 5 of the 6 shows I've been to.

    Yeah some of the setlist choices have been kinda strange. There were so many songs played at Philly 2 that were played at Brooklyn 2. Now I understand that there was a show between those two shows. But the exact same four opening songs just seemed odd. It actually seems as if setlists are getting a bit formulamatic. Pendulum > Three mellow songs > Rest of the first set. > Encore Break > Sit-down acoustic set > Four hard rockers > Encore Break > Covers/Hard Rockers/Alive > Songs with house lights up

    Force of Nature, on the other hand..... not enough love for this one IMO.

    A lot of people love the song. It's their opinion.
    LB is nothing like backspacer. That's a fact.

    It's definitely a hell of a lot better than Unthought Known IMO. But again, some people are so in love with Unthought Known that they get tattoos of the lyrics and shit. So I support it being played so that these folks are happy.

    superfan or not. ive seen them TONS of times, and i dont gripe when they play something too much. maybe its just that, people seeing them too much. i love all of the rarities they play, but im also grateful for the fact they are still putting out new music and i still get to see them live. cant wait to hear all the ''are they really gonna play this song every night thread'' if and when they do stop. nothing lasts for ever. enjoy what you can, while you can.

    Yeah, I definitely don't get complaining about them playing their great hits a lot. Not everyone at the show is a 10C member and goes to a bunch of shows. The majority of the people at the shows only see that one show, and want to hear the songs that PJ tends to play a lot.
