D3strukt Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Despite the new acoustic opening, it's just not cutting it anymore. To me, it gets boring real fast. All it has going for it is "heavy, heavy, heavy." That's it. It's simple. Just had to get that off my chest. So glad they cut it from the tour this time.

Not only that, but Ged's melodies are boring and I find the sarcasm throughout the entire song very off putting. I still do enjoy the bridge. But yes, this is one of the 3 terrible songs on CA and I'm glad they're not playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Totally disagree. It's got that GUP vibe guitar and keys. That song just does it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like the song until I heard it in the context of the album and realized it probably wasn't what I thought it was about. It's a pretty ass-kicking song overflowing with attitude. One of the best songs on the album. The one that's easily my least favorite is BU2B2 - that one should have been jettisoned off the album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomboni Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I don't miss it live (so they can fit in more songs they didn't do on last tour) but it's a good song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 We've already seen it live, no need for it again. One of the worse songs on the album. (not that it's bad) Much rather see something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemical Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I don't get the hate. BU2B is an amazing song and I'd take hearing it again this tour over hearing Wish Them Well for the first time, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeRoth Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I think BU2B is one of the better songs from an entirely excellent album. Its strange this is the one song (besides BU2B) they are leaving off the tour, since it is a single. Maybe because they played it on Time Machine, they figured they could pare down the CA portion a bit and get away with losing it. I'd rather they drop Halo Effect, but I can't complain. Can't wait for the STL show on 9/22! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeaveMyThingAlone Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Agree with dropping Halo Effect, or especially Wish them Well for BU2B. Of all the set list controversies, that's the one I'm most disappointed in since it's my favorite song. I'd love them to drop Th Wreckers for it since I despise that song, but I know that won't happen being that I am in the minority on my opinion for that song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I love the heaviness of this song. When it first came out, I felt that Caravan was the stronger of the two tracks, but now I give the edge to BU2B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1RushFan Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I remember learning it for the Time Machine Tour and 2 years later, am still loving it's heaviness. I also can't help but love BU2B2 as well - it's the perfect follow-up to Headlong Flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I liked it when it was released and I still do. I don't mind them dropping it from the live set but I wouldn't have complained if had they played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
