BlueW

wacknizzle
02.17.12 | Thats a bummer, live videos i've seen of them seemed pretty awesome. |
SCREAMorphine
02.17.12 | Seeing them tomorrow night, looking foward to it |
InFiction
02.17.12 | I'm also seeing them tomorrow night. This will be the second time I've seen them, so it should be good. |
Captain North
02.17.12 | They've stated they'll never play King Park (good). They were excellent when I saw them last weekend |
Butkuiss
02.17.12 | Sydney show was fucking off the hook. |
Captain North
02.17.12 | Which one you go to butkuiss? |
Butkuiss
02.17.12 | Went to the midday one; was the only one I could get to. Was batshit crazy though. Got some good crowd surfing in. |
Metamorphosis
02.17.12 | They're great live, but they don't play their best songs. :/ |
CrackTheSkye
02.17.12 | Saw them twice on this tour and seeing them again on Tuesday. And their setlists are great or least they were when I saw them. |
Captain North
02.17.12 | I was there too, did you notice a guy in a wheelchair? |
Butkuiss
02.17.12 | Goddamn, I'm pretty damn sure I remember you. Didn't even cross my mind it could be you. Holy shit North. By the way, how're you recovering dude?
I was the guy who awkwardly hugged Dreyer onstage at one point. Definitely one of the more awkward moments of my life. |
sixthgoldenticket
02.17.12 | la dispute is skipping ohio on their tour, fucking sucks. 6 is the shit. |
Parallels
02.17.12 | How was the windchime solo? |
Captain North
02.17.12 | I'm getting there, got more surgery/massive recovery time to come in the near future but it'll mean I can walk which will be a pretty big deal.
I do vaguely remember that, nice one :p. also if you noticed a huge, effeminate guy with a big bushy beard - that was atavanhalen. Sputparty at la dispute |

02.17.12 | "They've stated they'll never play King Park"
why's that? |
BlueW
02.17.12 | Probably way too personal and/or dark |
WeepingBanana
02.17.12 | i don't really love their albums like everyone else does but they were pretty cool live i guess |
auberginedreams
02.17.12 | "They've stated they'll never play King Park"
do you have a link to an interview or video or something where band said this? i heard some guy on last.fm say the same thing, but i've never actually heard or read anything where anyone in the band actually stated this. and i'm a massive la dispute fanboy so i'm pretty sure i've read most of the interviews with them lol. |
auberginedreams
02.17.12 | "Probably way too personal and/or dark"
and this theory doesn't make sense since it's one of the few songs that ISN'T actually about a first-hand experience or about some personal emotional struggle. jordan said it was about something that happened around where he lived, but i don't think he actually knew the kid. plus, all of their songs are personal and dark, so if that were true then they'd never play anything live except that christmas ep. |
auberginedreams
02.17.12 | this is from an interview with jordan:
""A year or two ago, down the street from where Brad [Vander Lugt, drums] and I work, a kid was shot. It's an area that's been riddled with gang violence, which has been really sad to witness. It was the son of a lady I work with's best friend. He was shot accidentally in a drive-by shooting that was intended for the group of people he was getting off the bus with - friends from his school. There were a couple of days where everyone knew who had done it and who had been shot.
There was this weird, eerie calm, and they found the guy in a hotel room on the other side of town. He locked himself in his room and shot himself. That line 'Do I still get to heaven if I kill myself?' is something he asked his uncle when talking about what to do.""
i mean, "the son of a lady I work with's best friend" isn't such a huge relation that he'd be unable to sing about it without bursting into tears or something.

Captain North
02.17.12 | Well I've heard second hand it's cos of the emotional thing, but the band directly said it just before the encore when the crowd chanted for it. Jordan turned around, gave a little laugh and went "guys, we are not gonna play that song" |
auberginedreams
02.17.12 | huh, that's weird. maybe they'll say something about it when i see them in a few weeks. |
Butkuiss
02.18.12 | Ya, hilarious the amount of sad faces when Jordan said they weren't playing it.
Only song I really felt was missing from the setlist was I See Everything. Could've easily replaced Why It Scares Me or even You and I in Unison if it really came down to it.
Great to hear you're on the road to recovery North:) Good luck with your recovery and future surgery too. Can't begin to imagine how awesome it'll be to be able to walk again.
And really?! Damn, I didn't notice Atavan! What a shame! |
Scoot
02.18.12 | play the fucking song |
Captain North
02.18.12 | Not even that great a song jeez. Why it scares me is great, yeah a lot of songs could have replaced you and I in unison.
Last lost continent preferably |
InFiction
02.18.12 | Why It Scares Me should only be played with How I Feel.
They played both of them together when I first saw them (Jan 2010) and it flowed so well. |
CrackTheSkye
02.18.12 | If they played Last Lost Continent they would have to cut two of their songs out though. Plus You & I in Unison is just as good. |
Captain North
02.18.12 | Not even vaguely as good man. But I'm ok, they played it last year and it was the highlight of their set |
CrackTheSkye
02.18.12 | Idk, I just prefer Wildlife songs to Somewhere's. But yeah, same for me when I saw them last year. |
