Wall of Mouths

Never really liked the song all that much myself (not that I hate it or anything!), though the live sing-a-long is cool.

So can anyone answer the original question lol? I believe theyve played it at every gig Ive been to except the festivals

So I of course know the album’s from 92 but for how long has Potato Junkie been the special sing along moment in Therapy? shows? Is it like the real classic they’ve played almost every gig or has it been put away to be dug up later, I dunno? Anyway they’ve been doing it every gig since I saw them first in 2006, so I was wondering.

They play it live at least since 1991 (I don’t have setlists from before 1991, so I can’t check that), seems like they drop it only occasionally, apart from 2000 and 2001 when they dropped it frequently. I did not check every available setlist, so they might have dropped it more often (http://www.meatabstract.be if you want to have a proper look), but I think we can say it’s a live classic.

I don’t think so. When me and my sister were in front at Crammerock and Zottegem, we both screamed it along as loud as we could… lol. It’s Therapy?, no time to be rational, I mean it just as much when I sing along the line ‘I’m gonna get drunk, come round and fuck you up’ (though there are a lot of lyrics I agree with too, of course), basically a lot of Therapy?’s songs are about some unindentified somebody anyone can or cannot identify with, but there’s also songs that are clearly just written for fun, I think Potato Junkie is one of them : ) (not to say the song has absolutely no meaning at all, but the meaning is a lot less deep than… other Therapy? songs I could name)

^^^^Brains, hey; good pint and all that, but wouldn’t have an evening drinking that stuff all night, hehe. Was it Brains SA that you had?
