Well that was one of the best things ive heard in a while. Well said Caffeine Bomb.

What i wouldnt give for The Wildhearts to be releasing an album every other year or so. Let alone a gig like this.

We as T? fans are very lucky. They do a great job for us so lets all appreciate what they do :)

not saying that none of you appreciate T? :p

I don’t mind (too much) not hearing many of the rarer tracks. I am disappointed though, that nothing of the new album will be played.

To be honest, I thought they would play a few of them anyway, so I didn’t vote for them (I wish I had now). I’m loving the bootlegs from this year because of the OCFA tracks. It must be a downer for the band to think that nobody wants to hear the new stuff.

Incidently, after 1998 there’s only one song (If It Kills Me). Surely, that will upset the band a little bit?

I don’t think it should. My guess is that (most) people on the board here vote for the rarer stuff (like Suing god) or out of nostalgic reasons (explains e.g. Nausea in my vote) The others vote for the the most popular/only ones they know of. Doesn’t leave much other room I suppose. (btw Alan, another reason I’m quoting you here was because of that list we talked about some weeks ago, any chance you could still provide it?)

I didn’t even know that a vote was possible when are you aren’t registered here. How are the votes checked to prevent multiple voting? Through IP? Not meant to suggest that the vote was rigged of course ;).

I think it makes sense to find the classics like Screamager on there when thinking of it in the same way as an “offical live album”, but my initial impression of the event was as mentioned a bit different.

We keep doing this about new releases. Anyone remember the “poor production” debacle about OCFA? Let’s quit moaning, count our blessings and enjoy what we’re given yeah?

I don´t think that way. But i respect T? to be a true band, and always did things they wanted to do.
T? will be always rockin! No question about it.
But its my right to tell, when i don´t like something they do. I didn´t like the last two albums, and i didn´t like the poll results for reasons i said already.
But the thing is - I am still posting in here, cause i believe in T? and like them as a band. But to be honest, you don´t have to like everything and i think i have to right to say so.

I think all the people who agree with Screamager, Die Laughing & Nowhere being included should stand on one side of the board, and all those who disagree should stand on the other - then on the count of three we should all charge each other in a ‘british bulldog’ style fashion until everyone is on the floor in fits of laughter…

Then I guess we can just buy the tracks we want.

I will get them all anyway cause I am a completist and I want the packaging & shit.

Its catch 22 - the band try do something nice for the fans, but you cant please everyone… At least we get some new stuff.

Try 2,168.

:D

I’m not too surprised by the list, I am however, well fucking pleased that Suing God got in there :D

It should be good I reckon and yeah not as many rare tracks got on there but hopefully the idea that they might got the guys jamming them out and that could lead to us hearing a few on the next tour - so look on the bright side!

Yep, Long Distance is a huge favourite of mine. But not even on the list :(

gonna be the best 45 to 50 minutes ever.
hopefully the songs are drawn out longer.

You mean no Ozzy style “We love you all!”s?
:(

For the complaints about the lack of new songs, I’d say that they got just as many votes but there was no standout track which claimed a huge percentage (like Screamager off Troublegum for example) and due to mixed reactions from fans to these new songs (Person A might like Sprung and hate Our White Noise and Person B might like Our White Noise and hate Sprung) it results in an average rating for the new songs

No I’m saying that the fans of the newer songs were too disorganised to vote for a particular new song. Look at the mass-scale organization here on WoM for voting for Suing God, why couldnt we have done the same for Sprung for example? We would have got better coverage for the band with regard to more recent material for the benefit of the casual fans who will buy this

So your saying some people vote for certain songs, and other people vote for different ones?

I have to hand it to ya, you’re better at summarizing!

Not really happy with the results - I’ve live versions of nearly every song on the set, would’ve thought Jude the Obscene was a better option than moment of clarity and although I love the song you can download Manson on the web site alreasy so don’t know why that was an option… sure what can you do? In the end it was a vote! I’m gonna buy it anyway, fair play to the lads for doing something different… roll on October 31st!

p.s. I’m not sure how accurate the 9% WOM figure is coz I voted when I wasn’t logged on and I’m sure I can’t be the only womble to do so!

Additional thoughts about the setlist:
I never realized that a Moment of Clarity was so popular.

yeah i was surprised by that… although whan i saw T? live on the HA tour they did this song and it went down a stormer!

Title: wake up!!!!!!!!!!!

Why are there so many old songs in the set list…people wake up!!!!!!!!! Therapy has recorded some great songs on their last 3 albums. Still everbody wants to hear nowhere or screamager. These are great songs but this was the chance to hear some songs they never play live or to hear the new songs live.

It seems that some people are stuck in the 90’s.

Anyhow it is great that therapy is doing this thing but it could have been so much better.
