Thanks Steve. Yeah, I think they're getting pretty used to the fact that the city in which they live is an apparent hotbed for these kinds of incidents. I mean, they had a giant one back in September, and apparently this last one might have had something to do with that. I dunno, though, I'm no expert.

Whilst I'm listening to Ecliptica by Sonata Arctica (as we speak), I decided to check out setlist.fm to see what sorta setlist they've been playing at recent European shows, and wow, I so hope they change the setlist a fair bit for the UK Leg!

Granted, there's a few very good songs from Ecliptica being played, but the songs from Winterheart's Guild and Reckoning Night are not the best from those albums, too many songs from the latest two albums (understandable for The Days of Gays I guess, it's the latest, but not Unia!) and worst of all, NO SONGS FROM "SILENCE"?!

It's their best album for God's sake! Suddenly I'm not looking forward to seeing them in a couple of weeks time so much anymore!

When I read this, I was expecting to see a FAR worse setlist!

1928 · March 2nd, 2011, 02:37 PM

I quite love their recent setlists

Can't blame them for not playing much from their older albums. Tony's admitted several times to not enjoying pure, speedy power metal as much, and getting tired of writing/playing those songs all the time. Plus, how many bands play that much stuff from their first albums? I wish more did, of course, but the sad reality is that not many do!

Cronopio · March 2nd, 2011, 06:41 PM

That is why I probably will not see them live if they come here.

The horror...the horror...

Symphony · March 4th, 2011, 05:56 AM

Well, to be fair it is difficult to pick a set list if you have 5 or more albums.......as I'm finding myself lol! :-)

1928 · March 4th, 2011, 10:46 AM

I'll start a fund for 'An Evening With Power Quest' tour to solve that problem, haha!

Fair point and it's made me realise that all I've really accomplished by ranting is getting across my opinion that I much prefer SA's earlier stuff to the newer stuff! Sorry folks!

Cronopio · March 4th, 2011, 07:27 PM

Not ONE song from Silence?

That's just ... unheard of.

Shredgirl · March 6th, 2011, 10:36 AM

Being lied to by a friend of 11 years.

Having friends turn their back on you for fame.

1928 · March 6th, 2011, 11:58 AM

I'm sorry to hear that, Shredgirl!

Gibbon · March 6th, 2011, 09:36 PM

I am ill as fuck. Been puking for the last 3 hours in a row now, it's awful.

1928 · March 6th, 2011, 09:57 PM

Hope you feel better soon, Gibbon! That's never fun to go through.

Andiferum · March 7th, 2011, 06:33 AM

Not feeling too great, bit of an URGH throat.

Kingface · March 7th, 2011, 01:23 PM

Surprisingly feeling quite good right now but I felt awful this morning having had a little over an hour's sleep despite going to Bed at 12am and having to wake up at 6:15am to start getting ready for work!

Probably catch up with me later or tomorrow!

Andiferum · March 8th, 2011, 06:33 AM

Still not feeling better, but at least it's my day off.

Cello · March 8th, 2011, 08:03 AM

Meh, that sucks dude, feeling sick on your day off

mr NOT · March 9th, 2011, 02:09 AM

The new Zelda game that was supposed to come out already got postponed again until november.......mew

Andiferum · March 9th, 2011, 05:22 AM

I think we can all agree it's sad to have lost another rock n' roll legend in the form of Mike Starr from the original Alice in Chains line-up. RIP, Mike.

1928 · March 9th, 2011, 09:08 AM

I'd be hesitant to call him a legend, but yea, that was terrible news! RIP Mike.

Is that the new Wii one, Skyward Sword? If so, mega bummer!

Also, RIP Mike Starr.
