Re: [inthenight] guitar heavy songs

[cocteau]

Well can you really blame them? They haven't really used heavy riffs as part of any song since lillies on Loved and they have put out two albums since that time. Especially with the more electronic approach of Future Songs, there isn't much room for the distorted goth thing anymore, but then again. They have changed their style with every album they've released, so no one knows what to expect of future albums, or, and perhaps more importantly, concerts?

yeah, i was one of the people at the '02 los angeles show who was screaming for "starblood" for the whole second half of the show.  nobody really joined in though, and i get the feeling that the large majority of the crowd didn't really even know who the cranes were.  but now that i look back, there really weren't any guitar heavy songs in the entire setlist except for "adrift", and that's pretty much entirely different from the guitar heavy stuff off of wings of joy.  (i don't know about fuse as i still haven't heard that album)  And "sixth of may" has always been a favorite of mine too that would have been nice to have heard.  but other than that, i was mostly satisfied with the setlist as they did play a lot of their good older songs.  they played my favorite, "far away", and after that i was pretty much content.  i did write down the entire set list, but i misplaced it.  i believe they played "adoration" which i love, but did ! not play "tomorrow's tears" which i really would have appreciated.

they want to move on with their more "chilled" style of music? THe whole

live album has a very chilled sound to it, and DAD001 is similarly relaxed.

I think it's a different question. "Starblood" was a real thing with Mark

Francombre. Nowadays it wouldn't make sense anymore, with Paul trying to

imitate Mark.

Playing "Starblood" today would be as summoning a ghost.

Though they all know people would die to hear older tunes played live, I

suppose they're mumbling on it, when people at concerts ask for "Reach", or

"Sixth of May" for example.
