Name ONE song you would love the band to play on the next round of dates. Ideally a song that you haven't heard for a while.
For me it has to be Western Dreams
-
Trust
Never heard it live, or if I have I've forgotten about it :)
-
You weren't there
Because I loved it from the very first moment I heard it and a couple days ago I realized: it's still my most favourite song! :)
-
Nothing touches or masters of war
-
One that has been played recently - rivers
One that hasn't - the price
Always very difficult to pick
-
10 commandments
-
For me, forever and always, it will be 'Modern Times'....
-
Far better thing
-
+1: Far Better Thing
-
Either The price or My people
-
+ 2 Far Better Thing
-
Sunset, Pull The Sun or Sunrise - Bit of a Sun theme here only because I don't like winter! (The season not the album..)
-
Nothing Touches - never heard it :(
Mambo Queen Of The Sandstone City - only heard it once but so 8)
-
Gotta be vengeance and as a second choice tomorrow came as thats never been played before as a full band as far as i know.
-
+ 2 Far Better Thing
+3
Or Sunset? Brother? Anyone...
-
I always thought NMA were missing a trick by never opening with 'Brother'... ;)
Awesome track.
-
In these interesting times, I'd like to hear them come up with a cover of Eve Of Destruction. Always felt it was a song NMA could do something with.
Failing that, it's gotta be No Pain. I know they've played it a lot, but never when I've been at the gig.
-
Agree with Far better thing and Brother defo, would also love to hear Whites of Their eyes and coz they haven't played it much lately- Whirlwind ;)
-
Ah, Whirlwind... the very first NMA song I ever heard live, when I was just an innocent, skinny teenage lad who had little gig experience and certainly no experience of an NMA moshpit... thought it would be a nice viewpoint, up front and central, I could have a fun time with all these other people, although I couldn't understand why they were taking their shirts off.. :o
I think we all know where that story was heading. ;D
Deffo a song I'd love to hear again, live.
-
My People
Only heard that once at Berlin Bizarre Festival 1992 - my first NMA gig by the way ;)
-
Now, Lupus, and Master Ray, your choices sound really cool.
I also would like to hear My People live once at least!
-
One one three "S" songs,
Southwest
Sunset
best is the very rare Sooner Or Later (only a few or none (I) of ones here have ever been able to listen it live at a gig)
-
R&R or Killing.
With the current band line up I reckon they would sound amazing.

Yes, R&R please! That would get us moving >:(
-
Another vote for RnR! Damn, forgotten that one, wasn't it the usual opener for the 'Eight' tour? I need to get back onto the 'Eight' album, it's been a while.
-
this gets better! Think they played 'killing' live in 2015 during the winter BWAB tour but don't take as gospel as only went to 2 dates x
Going to chuck some more in the mix in case anyone important is having setlist difficulties so here We go:
Aimless Desire
R&R
Believe It
BOBP
La Push
Gimme Shelter
DYMIS?
The Charge
Dawn

The Charge
Dawn
That would sound like a crackin' good set. And La Push has been played only few times, if not only once, I think.
If I think about a list of uncommon NMA songs from each album - that I'd like to hear live, it might be something like this:
No Greater Love
Western Dream
Family Life
Innocence
Understand U
Aimless Desire
Far Better Thing
RnR
Prayer Flags
Dawn
La Push
Qasr El Nil Bridge
Sunrise
Drifts
...depending on Drifts I'm not sure how much they play songs from Winter though. And I know they used to play No Greater Love quite recently, but wasn't present at those gigs. I think most of the tracks on No Rest for The Wicked are actually "uncommon" tracks besides No Rest. And Qasr El Nil Bridge, it was mentioned in one interview by JS after release of BDAW. I think he said playing it live could rather sound like a drumming chaos so they don't play it. Or something like that...
-
Vengeance ....... Every Single Gig ....... once at the start and final encore !
-
I love the way my request for ONE song has gradually grown into full setlists. ;D
That must allow me to add one other song to my original request ;) - would love to hear 'Frightened'
-
Hmmmm, Marry The Sea would be one I'd love to hear live.
-
, I'd like to hear them come up with a cover of Eve Of Destruction.
Good call 8)
Gigabyte Wars would be nice :)
-
The Attack
Master Race
Archway Towers
Vanity
Living in the Rose
Lullaby
Wipeout
Red Earth
B-sides: Prison and Ghost of Your Father
-
Prayer Flags would be nice to hear again, also Peace Is Only
-
Not gonna do the full on rant but will dedicate this to Donald aka Adolf
Higher Wall
-
MY COUNTRY
My alltime favorite
-
God in the handful of times ive seen them, ive hear most of the favourites on here. For me, Dawn or Strogoula. Id skipped both til I heard them live. Now theyre right up there with Modern Times for me.
-
if I could only choose one .....FAR BETTER THING
-
I know they played this on the bdaw tour , so it probably isn't gonna happen but archway towers
-
FAR BETTER THING
MY COUNTRY
-
Another NMA song I would really like to hear live - Leeds Road 3am. Very powerful song. Amazing lyrics. Not sure if JS is singing about something he personally witnessed, or maybe heard about, but it is very haunting.
-
FAR BETTER THING
MY COUNTRY
Exactly the two songs on top of my personal whishlist, too, though My Country would be the first pick. But I guess I'll never get one of those...
-
'Happy to be here' and 'After something' and also not heard 'White coats' or 'The Price' for a long time
All 4 would be amazing ;D
-
They played R&R in France - yeeeeeah :)
-
Qasr Al Nil Bridge
Ghosts
Peace is only
Some of my favourites
Great to see R n R, No Greater Love and Did You Make It Safe and No Pain pop up again in some sets. All fantastic songs.
Oh yes, and Far Better Thing would be awesome, too.
-
Far Better Thing
Refugee
Hoping for around 15 years to hear those live :(
-
"Far Better Thing" is my dream...maybe one day...
-
Leeds Road 3am
-
Leeds Road 3am
Have heard that one live. Actually i didn't care too much for the song until that moment. Now it's a fav.
-
Leeds live - I remember goose bumps , want to hear it again - but this song isn`t perfect for the setlist of this tour ...
-
Can't see there being too many changes before the end of the winter tour , maybe the odd song here and there
-
"Fashion"
... and "sooner or later "
-
Nothing Touches - never heard it :(
At Justin Sullivan's concert in Paris last Monday i've asked him after the concert why NMA never plays "Nothing touches" (one of my favourite NMA tracks), i don't remember 100% of his answer but he said to me "We have 250 songs"! :) ;)
Another NMA song I would really like to hear live - Leeds Road 3am. Very powerful song. Amazing lyrics. Not sure if JS is singing about something he personally witnessed, or maybe heard about, but it is very haunting.
It seems that the last part of the song really happened...very sad. I remember reading about it in a french interview but i don't remember for which magazine/site.

Since the band only play(s) in Brazil once every five years, I'd like to kindly request them to do "1984".
