Snakes Representation

[Echoes]

So, there's obviously something brewing with Rush tour wise. So my question is this. Whether there's new music or not, how would you like to see Snakes and Arrows represented (or even at all)? I'd imagine Far Cry would be a likely candidate for the boys to choose and one I'd love to see again. Maybe something not played before like Faithless. Another one I would pick would be Armor and Sword. How about you guys?

[2112Starman]

I'm sure they'll bring something from the previous album back on the next tour. Yeah, I'm hopin' they bring back Armor & Sword.

[Working Man]

I'd really love to see Faithless on the setlist as well. "Hope" should probably stay as well, so Neil can get a break after his usual epic drum solo. I'd also like to see Far Cry and Any Way the Wind Blows.

I would rather see acoustic versions of a few songs than Hope again. Not that I don't like it, but I want to see a totall different arrangement next go 'round.

[PuppetKing2112]

They'll keep Far Cry since it's the most recognizable single. They'll keep at least 2 of the instrumentals, probably the short ones but don't rule out TMMB as one of them. Other than that they'll keep one more album track, probably Angels but hopefully TWTWB. Either way don't expect more than 4 or 5 S&A songs at the most.

[Spindrift82]

I'd like to see Far Cry, The Larger Bowl, and Workin' Them Angels represented, at least. Those are my favorites from the last album.

[MMCXII]

I just want we hold on and the way the wind blows. oh yeah and all three instrumentals! lol

[Necromancer]

I can handle Far Cry, but the rest of that album should be just forgotten about as a horrible mistake that catered to OLD fans that have begun to listen to too much "easy-listening", adult contemporary bullshit, and forgot that used to actually be a hard ROCKIN' band.

 

And they should put some more Vapor Trails on the tour, since that album actually had some decent worth.

Wow, I must disagree. Vapor Trails was good, but the best songs on that album are weaker than the weak songs on S&A.

 

Guess it proves that we all have different tastes, huh?

[Wilderness_of_Mirrors]

i think theyd do Far Cry, Armor & Sword, and most likely Faithless because i think i saw somewhere that they were about to put it in the 2008 setlist

You dont think Armor and Sword, MalNar and TMMB rock as well dude?..I could handle Faithless as well. Good tune.

[mankad89]

We Hold On, Bravest Face, The Main Monkey Business, and Armor & Sword.

[Mara]

I am betting that "Far Cry" will be the opening song.

I would like to hear the instrumentals, "Armour and Sword", and "Faithless". Then move along, guys. (Something from Power Windows, please).

 

If the release is an EP, you can bet we'll get all 5 or so songs off of it.

While I definitely like S&A, I agree that VT is a stronger set of songs. There are tunes on that album that would be stellar if they would ever play them live. Bring back Earthshine, and play the title cut, drop OLV, but replace it with Freeze, or perhaps Stars Look Down.

 

From S&A, keep Far Cry. And definitely keep TWWB, this way I can still sing it at the top of my lungs to wherever Slackabob may be in the crowd. Hopefully, swaying in the drunken singalong right along with me.

[lerxt1990]

Far Cry and Mal Nar. Both songs can kill small animals and are great.

[1-0-0-1-0-0-1]

My guess is, "Far Cry" (no doubt about that one), either "Armor & Sword" or "TWTWB," and "MalNar." IF they play a fourth S&A song it would be "Workin' Them Angels," but I think they'll do three and that's it.

 

I seriously doubt they'd do an S&A song that wasn't played on the last tour.

[Ya_Big_Tree]

I'd love to see Nocturne played live. Just cause I wanna see Alex play that AMAZING geetar riff. Also I would just die if I heard Mystic Rhythms played live again. As for anything off Snakes... that whole album just rocks but I'd love to hear TMMB, Spindrift, TWTWB, Armor & Sword and MalNar and of course Far Cry.

 

Im hoping for a new album tho with this tour.

Spindrift!..I forgot about that one. I love the intro.

I agree with this.

Nocturne might be my favorite off of VT. Such a heavy, powerful tune.

 

For Snakes representation, I'd like Armor and Sword, Workin' Them Angels, Spindrift, and 2 out of 3 of the instrumentals.

[Score Out]

In a new setlist we're probably likely to see Far Cry (definite), Working Them Angels, The Main Monkey Business, and Mal Nar. I don't really consider Hope a song but obviously that could be tossed in as well. At most, 1 more but that's 4 deep already which is pretty large for a previous album with the size of their catalog.

I have to agree, it sounds awful........I think they know that, and I highly doubt they'll ever play it again......

I'd rather seem them do songs from the album they've never done before. There are many others to choose from.
