Setlists

[Com Truise]

Folding Stars has been added to the set I posted I love that song, especially the acoustic version they played when I saw them headline Soni and that's on their live DVD.

[giantwagon]

Second that. I would definitely cry if Simon did Folding Stars acoustic, it's an absolute masterpiece.

I think Simon will play it. As has been said above, it'll be their biggest gig so far, and for him to dedicate part of it to his Mum would be perfect

[SOAD]

They haven't played Folding Stars all year and we know Simon doesn't really like playing it for obvious reasons, but this probably the most important gig they've ever played, so I'm hoping to see it. I'll probably cry if they do play it!

The ones I'm certain Biffy will play are Mountains, Many of Horror, Bubbles, Glitter & Trauma, The Captain, Biblical, Opposite, Sounds Like Balloons, Stingin Belle, Machines and Black Chandelier

Pretty high chance we'll get Jaggy Snake, Living Is A Problem and either 57 or 27.

From the tour Justboy and A Day Of... we might get.

I'm hoping on top for Liberate The Illiterate, Toys Toys Toys, both of 57/27, Folding Stars, 9/15ths, Convex Concave, semi-mental, Boom Blast & Ruin, Strung to Your Ribcage, Spanish Radio, Modern Magic Formula.

Think I have a good chance for getting about 80% of those

[Com Truise]

Jut out of interest: what would be your perfect setlist?

[Ukulelelad92]

Say they play 30 songs (could fit into 2 and a half hours I reckon), then in no particular I'd want;

Stingin' Belle

Sounds Like Balloons

Biblical

Modern Magic Formula

Spanish Radio

Bubbles

Mountains

That Golden Rule

The Captain

Boom Blast & Ruin

Living Is A Problem

Semi-Mental

Folding Stars

Machines

Get Fucked Stud

A Day Of...

Liberate the Illiterate

Toys Toys Toys

Eradicate The Doubt

Bodies In Flight

Glitter & Trauma

Strung To Your Ribcage

Jaggy Snake

The Kids From Kibble And The Fist Of Light

Some Kind Of Wizard

27

57

Justboy

Convex, Concave

Stress On The Sky

5 from every album is reasonable although I think we'll get 1/2 each from Blackened Sky, Vertigo of Bliss and Infinity Land, maybe 3/4 from Puzzle and about 7 from Only Revolutions and 9/10 from Opposites. They should definitely do mine though.

I'd have Mountains as the original set closer, then come back and do Stingin' Belle, Glitter & Trauma and Living Is A Problem, what a closer.

[Com Truise]

Cool that'd work well with me. I'd switch Stingin' belle and biblical with victory over the sun and pocket but other than that it would be awesome. Shame it won't happen

[robMUFC96]

the next single is actually Victory Over The Sun and not Sounds Like Balloons so I'm certain they'll play it now, still really hope they do Sounds Like Balloons too

[Com Truise]

My source was reasonable to be fair (http://www.biffyclyro.com/news,have-your-video-feature-in-the-new-biffy-clyro-video_581.htm)

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah I assume they're asking for the video clips now so that they'll get them and be able to make the video in time for when Sounds Like Balloons is released. Really pleased Victory Over the Sun has been made a single, that riff is some funky shit.

[The Placid Casual]

Victory Over The Sun is an ace track! It's my favourite on the new album, as well as Spanish Radio. They should play both

[Com Truise]

NIN did this in 100 minutes http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/nine-inch-nails/2013/naeba-ski-resort-niigata-japan-23c68c8f.html

So in the hope they get 80 minutes at R&L I'm going with

Copy of A *new song*

Sanctified

Came Back Haunted *new song*

1,000,000

March of the Pigs

Terrible Lie

Closer

Gave Up

Me, I'm Not

Find My Way *new song*

Wish

Survivalism

Only

The Hand that Feeds

Head Like a Hole

Hurt

(I basically took out five songs)

edit; at least I thought I took out five but there are still 16.........

edit2; hurt isn't on the setlist for some reason, confusion over

Is there a hidden meaning behind 'Machines'? Every video I see of it live Simon's almost got tears in his eyes

[robMUFC96]

Well I don't think it's hidden, isn't it about his mother dying of cancer and nothing they can do to save her?

[Com Truise]

ah, wasn't aware of that being the influence - I thought Folding Stars was the only one about that

[robMUFC96]

"This is an acoustic song we recorded on the last day in the studio. I wanted the album to end on a positive vibe. No matter what you go through there's always hope. You can make yourself happy." That's what Simon said about Machines. The whole album's inspired by his mum though, just Folding Stars in particular.

[Com Truise]

Ah sure, I need to listen to pre-Puzzle albums

[robMUFC96]

Want some starters?

[lightning1000]

[robMUFC96]

You might be in for a bit of a shock. Especially vertigo of bliss and infinity land. But they are their 2 best albums imo

[Yellow_Fellow]

Infinity Land, all the way through, twice
