Well I can understand them using generic set lists for festivals and what not, but come time for a Canadian/American/European tour, they need to mix it up.

Well the proper tour starts the 10th, so here's to hoping they have a few tricks up their sleeves.

Really? It starts the 10th? If this tour is "proper" then... damn.

Well that's what the band has been referring to it as in the past few interviews.

they need more Naveed in shows

They need more SM and Happiness... they only play 1 song from SM, 1 or 2 from happiness, and already 3 or 4 from Naveed.

Throw in Automatic Flowers, Right Behind You, Waited, and or Thief into their current setlist and I'll be good.

Apparently Burn Burn is doing well on USA charts. Compared to pass cd's..

small piece on it..

Our Lady Peace’s newest release, Burn Burn, debuted last week at #41 on the Billboard Top 200 on the strength of the album’s first single, "All You Did Was Save My Life," and two sold-out shows in NYC and Los Angeles.

Billboard gushed about the tour opener, saying "OLP proved their readiness as arena-worthy superstars during the opening night of the Canadian act's U.S. tour."

A raucous performance in L.A. last week left the Troubadour none-too-pleased with the damage OLP incurred. Lead singer Raine Maida victoriously climbed up to walls to the second floor during "All You Did Was Save My Life," leaving a heap of destruction in his wake. A fan caught the stunt on video and it can be seen here and pictures here.

The video for "All You Did Was Save My Life" stars fellow Canadian Shenae Grimes of 90210 and Degrassi: The Next Generation fame. You can watch the video in its entirety on MySpace here.

Ultimate-Guitar is currently running a contest giving away 5 pairs of tickets to 10 of their upcoming August U.S. tour dates with Electric Touch and Meese.

Was the damage all that bad?

Tattooed Angels · Post by **Tattooed Angels** » 8/6/2009, 12:20 pm

from what I see. The only thing that could of happened is he broke a light or piece of floor while climbing. I was more concerned about him not falling. Everytime Raine does that I hold my breath.. I think he is totally crazy , but hey I guess he trust the crowd to catch him if he falls..

Oh, so THAT'S why it fell to #162. :roll:

It's going to spend a total of two weeks on the chart most likely. Healthy In Paranoid Times spent two weeks on the chart.

Don't really see the difference.

Gravity spent 27 weeks on the chart. Happiness spent 4. Clumsy spent 39. Spiritual Machines spent 4.

Sadly, I think this is it.

Yeah, that's pretty crazy alright... I wouldn't do it. Or I wouldn't do it while having a mic in one hand.

MOL. Was this your review. :lol:

When I read it I thought of you. Am I the only one not bothered by this cd.

Burn Burn
by Our Lady Peace
from Coalition Entertainment
released on 21/07/09
3 out of 10

Remember when Raine Maida sounded like just about no one else on radio? Whether you loved it or hated it, you didn’t forget the vocals of his band’s “Superman’s Dead” breakthrough. Now he sounds generic, like any watered-down byproduct of the head-scratching popularity of the Three Doors Downs and Lifehouses of the world. So, too, trends the compositions, which are low on bite, big on ballads. If that sounds like a day in the sun to you, have at it. I’m still wondering what happened to the band after Spiritual Machines.

Naming this a superior product to the risible “Our Lady Creed” effort on Gravity is about the faintest praise imaginable, but at least that stuff was memorably bad; the songs on Burn Burn disappear from the mind quicker than flame from a paper match. At least you could understand the sort of blank personalities that would lap up that OLC soup, but “Never Got Over You” (soaring syrup cousin to Gravity’s “Somewhere out There”) never, ahem, gets off the ground. Even when they amp the volume and toss us the requisite hard rocker (“White Flag,” “All You Did Was Save My Life”), the results are feckless and rote. Inoffensive should never be the proper descriptor for a rock album, but there it is. You didn’t need to be the Amazing Kreskin to see this coming after Maida was recruited to co-write songs for David Cook (an American Idol grad, if you, like I, didn’t know). And let’s knock off the false advertising in album names, please—there’s no fire in this record whatsoever. (Matt Medlock)

I can't even compare Creed with Gravity-OLP... thats horrible. Unthinkable... lol

MindsOnLoan · Post by **MindsOnLoan** » 8/8/2009, 10:33 pm

Lol, while I agree with some of that, I disagree about the Creed comparison.

Driven · Post by **Driven** » 8/9/2009, 1:48 am

Not Enough sounds like a Creed song, but that's it.
