Re: Walk the Sky Europe 2019 Tour w/ Shinedown, Sevendust (UK), and the Raven Age (non-UK)

Seems like they've just debuted Forever Falling in Vienna.

Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 09

Fans will stop buying tickets for their concerts though if they're unhappy with the setlists. :/

Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 10

Close call, but I voted for Fallout over Watch Over You because I believe that the biggest reason why I love WOY is the live version (acoustic!), and I probably like Fallout more as a song overall. Forever Falling doesn't yet click for me as much as it seems to do for many others, I find the chorus ...

Which is such a shame because I bet it's an incredibly atmospheric song live and afaik it's Mark's favourite from AB III. Sometimes I'm angry at the fanbase. :D

Winner: Show Me A Sign

... thankfully! This one was a battle I was really afraid about because of how controversial SMAS is received in the AB community.

Not being biased, of course. Never!

Re: Walk the Sky Europe 2019 Tour w/ Shinedown, Sevendust (UK), and the Raven Age (non-UK)

I actually liked ATP as a closer more than I thought I would, but only after I'd seen it the second time. The outro makes it a pretty cool last song for a set. It's definitely a more powerful choice than Rise Today, although I always liked that as a closer as well.

Re: Battle Of The Track Numbers: Track 09

Show Me A Sign is on such a different level compared to all other songs in this list. It's a top 3 track for me and one of their greatest works so far. Criminally underrated, I'm still wondering why so many fans dislike it. FTTS, Watch Your Words and YWBR are among the weakest AB tracks of all time....

3 days is all we got? there should be more time given to vote. The album cycle has just begun. Album just came out. No need to "close voting". When am I supposed to collect the "final" results then, though? We could simply do another vote in one and a half year or so. In fact, I...

Re: Walk the Sky Europe 2019 Tour w/ Shinedown, Sevendust (UK), and the Raven Age (non-UK)

Of course, and I'm going to push this idea down to the ground until AB actually does this thing, the easier answer to all of this is to have no openers and play longer sets in the process. Sure, it probably has the less likelihood of filling an arena, but it keeps the fanbase more hyped to see more...

But why should any hardcore fan be disappointed that the band didn't play for the millionth time Open your eyes, Come to life, Rise today, Isolation or even Blackbird? whatever... Are they just fans of these specific songs or the band? They could change the setlist every tour, fans would always be ...

Re: Walk the Sky Europe 2019 Tour w/ Shinedown, Sevendust (UK), and the Raven Age (non-UK)

I guess because they're not big enough to risk it. I can't answer why it's CTL over Broken Wings, but rotating out some of these songs they always play is a risk. If you're selling out stadiums all over the world you might be able to rotate a lot, but AB have 17 slots in their current set and want t...

Re: Walk the Sky Europe 2019 Tour w/ Shinedown, Sevendust (UK), and the Raven Age (non-UK)

I hope the sets will be more interesting during the remainder of the tours. I’m having a problem that the core of the set has been the same since the Blackbird tour. They can easily stop playing Come to Life and Rise today for example. I’m not a fan of Watch over you either but the full band joinin...

Amazing - compared to basically all in-door concerts in relatively small venues I've been to in the past, even though AB obviously don't play in really small venues anymore. Myles' voice was always very audible, same goes for both guitars, even though Mark's could've been a bit louder in Berlin and ...
