Title: Getting Rid of some Live Songs
Post by: splitmilk34 on September 29, 2005, 14:47:26
I read a post saying "Inbetween Days" and "Just Like Heaven" have been played too much.  I agree.  Which 5 songs would you take out of a Cure concert (and why) and which 5 would you replace them with (and why)?

TO BE TAKEN AWAY:
1) Inbetween Days - played too much... uninteresting now
2) Just Like Heaven - same reason
3) FTEOTDGS - one of my fav. Cure songs, but they play it the same way all the time
4) Boys Don't Cry - this is NOT a definitive Cure song, IMO
5) Lovesong - because 11 year old girls who know nothing of the Cure sing along to this song

TO REPLACE THEM:
1) Lost - they should've played this ALL summer long.
2) The Promise - one of the best, most aggressive Cure songs EVER
3) Seventeen Seconds - criminally underplayed
4) Siamese Twins - one of my top 3 Cure songs
5) Holy Hour - a GREAT Simon bass line, and very cool song.

I don't think Jason should be replaced. Not only is he a very good drummer (i.e. "Watching Me Fall", "Never" etc..), but he added new life to the band in a live setting. Every member has said that part of the reason they started playing so many bizarre songs in 96/2000 was that Jason was really into learning the new songs. At first I wanted Boris back, but I think Jason has proven himself many times over. I think everyone wants Boris back, because they think "Disintegration - 2" will happen, but it won't. Robert is not 29 anymore. I knew people who complained about Boris in 85, so someday maybe we'll be hearing how they need Jason back...

No more "End of the World." Ever. And "Inbetween Days" would not be missed.

I'd love to hear "Burn" and "All Cats Are Gray" sometime soon.
