TOTEM for 2015 tour opener???

[hobo73]

Still no replies.....psssst. Next time, don't label me with negative sexual slang. K? K. Cause that's a nasty line to cross.

That's considered polite on SOCN! I used a smiley and everything :P

[WavesandWindows]

Umm, no thanks.

 

It's a good song, and would work great live, I just don't think it would be a great opener

[yyz211282]

My thoughts exactly

[MMCXII]

I love Totem, but I'm not sure how to vote because I don't know if "pole-smokin'" is a good thing.

 

Depends if you're the pole or not..

[Lorraine]

I think "Totem" would be an absolutely pole-smokin' opener!!!

 

Spaghet, I think you are right. It would be a pole smoker for an opening song for sure. However, being a doosh, I will leave it to you to guess how I voted. :hi:

Totem is a good song but there are far better songs that they could play live.

[jamie]

i'd love to hear it whether it's an opener or not.

[lerxt1990]

Virtuality is a great song with a really kick ass riff and bridge... The "corny" lyrics shouldn't stop people from liking it, really.I think it'd be good in the set.

 

Spot on.

 

Totem is a cool song, theyd never open with it, but I wouldnt mind hearing it.

[savagegrace26]

Wouldn't be a good opener (has enough energy to be a opener but it's too obscure) but it would be great to see live, as would any song that hasn't been performed live.

[troutman]

After reading some of the other threads around here lately,

 

I will take any songs regardless!!

[losingit2k]

Um No!

 

Test For Eco could open the second set but that's as far as Anything from T4E would go. everything else should be placed within the set. Actually the only songs from T4E that should ever make an appearance again are:

 

T4E

Driven

Half The World

Limbo

and perhaps: then:

 

Totem, Time & Motion and Resist

 

but somewhere in the middle of a set.

[Mr. JD]

Totem somewhere in the setlist would be excellent but if they're gonna open with a song from T4E it has to be Driven IMO.

I really like Totem. I don't think it would make a bad opener and it would surprise the entire crowd. I would rather hear that than Driven because I have never seen it live.

[beneathbetweenbehindyourmom]

I would love it if they opened with Fernando. Oh wait, isn't this the Abba forum? Oops.... well if we're talkin' Rush, I would go with BU2B2 for a good opening song.

[len(songs)]

If they opened with a 90's song, I would much rather have Dreamline (for the 1000000th time), Leave That Thing Alone, or Time and Motion.

[Lorraine]

I think they ought to open with The Speed of Love. That will get the audience going. Pretty soon, it'll just be me sitting all by myself in the huge concert hall with Rush all to myself.

What a way to go! :)

[bri-tor]

Dear God, no! If there was one song from T4E that should open the show, it should be T4E. Has everything a concert opener needs: immediate atmosphere, great riffs, a great interlude in the middle, and a big closing section.

[That One Guy]

While I like the song, it doesn't have "opener" ability. That riff would be really awkward to just "come out of nowhere". 2112 would honestly be a good opener, gently reel you in with all those space-y sounds.

 

They should throw some serious humor around this time. Maybe make fun of themselves and their worst songs. I would have the laugh of all laughs if they "fake-opened" the second set with Dog Years, then shit-canned it 15 seconds into the song.

I want to hear the opening electric swells of La Villa Strangiato, in total darkness. Then, a spotlight on Lifeson standing in billows of stage smoke while he shreds through the electric version of that monster flurry of notes, and on into the song.

[Tick]

Spam, how does it work?

I can picture that......:)

I don't know if Spam has pop-tops now or if you still need a can opener.
