BY Request
« on: March 18, 2014, 04:18:31 PM »
So , Metallica this year are playing Sonisphere and doing a " By Request " set where the fans pick the setlist

If NMA announced a similar Gig where the fans could request the set list , which one track would you request and why?

I'm going to choose…….Ambition, simply because I like it. I left the Bradford Metropolitan district in 86 to go look for an opportunity, which I got, so I guess it resonates a bit with me

Now that would be an interesting idea.
Am gonna choose The Cause for the reasons its a brilliant song arguably their first brilliant song. Its a very underrated song in my opinion and doesn't get played often live.It's certainly a song that everyone can relate to.

I'd choose Better Than Them, No Greater Love, Western Dream, Family or All of This. The Charge wouldn't be bad either, but I've "seen" it aldready once.

Better Than Them is one of my all time fave's. There is the utmost energy, hope, adamancy, standing on behalf of something and on the other hand aggression. No Greater Love has the same tendency.

Not so many have been talking bout Western Dream but that's a great, great song from GoC. Family's a very important song to me personally. And what a perfect song. It's like a clogg's kick right there to the assholes who may ruin a youngster's self-confidency and a call for people who you can trust. All of This is a similar diamond like Archway Towers.

Great thread!  Although I seem to recall Justin, at a gig a few years back, saying something like 'c'mon, you should know by now that if you shout out for songs, we never play them...'  ;D

It would be brilliant if it happened.  For me... well, I'd love to hear Fireworks Night, but I think Mr Sullivan has said that he would struggle to do that one live, for personal and obvious reasons...

Sod it, I'll go for Brother, never heard that one live...

Better than them.

Is, and always have been my favourite NMA song.

Their first acoustic, and with incredible powerful drum work

We're a week away from a new NMA UK tour and nobody's throwing in any new suggestions..?

Sod it, here's one more.  I'd love to hear TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN again...

Just in case the band are reading....   ???

If you're talking about 1 song to grab the "non-NMA" festival-goer then I would go for R & R because it sums up a lot of frustration and anger plus it packs a big old punch. This version just nailed the bugger:

But for a personal request I will assume that TIAGD will be in there anyway  :) and go for Falling. Cos it's uplifting, one of those redemption songs, and it makes me dance!

Lights Go Out.
because having seen them dozens of times since Impurity tour I can't remember ever seeing them do it and it's a top tune.

There are few songs that share together same kind of feelings & atmosphere: My People, No Rest, Better Than Them, Stormclouds & My Country. Well, we can hear No Rest at gigs and now Stormclouds too but for the others it would be like winning in a lottery. I don't know why but for some reason people don't seem to shout so much for them. Is it due to strong emotions within the lyrics that might be too provocative or what? I think NMA do not enter to the aggro-side in songs so often anymore these days so the making of Stormclouds is a very welcomed thing for me. My People is a classic too.  :)
