Which song is most likely to be dropped from sets?
if i had a choice in the matter I'd take out starseed and clumsy coz we've heard them both so many times and they're pretty much always the same (the starseed intro and the guitar solo in clumsy were new in the latest tour i'll admit). But I had to go with IAH? coz although it's an awesome song it was probably the least commercially successful of the bunch and one of the least well know along with OMA.

Yeah, anyways, I think they'll take out IAH? because it's the least successful of the big songs, and the crowd can't even get the lyrics right when they have the sing-along part in the song, so why keep it?
Personally, I would like to see 4AM go. I've been to 6 concerts and not once has Raine actually sung a word to it, so I could do without the crowd singing it to me. I'd keep it if Raine would actually sing it.
But then again, they could take out ANY of the songs if they would play Blister or The Wonderful Future, but no, they play The Wonderful Future for two or three shows on the east coast and haven't played Blister since the World's A Blister tour. So fuck.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

And whoever said Raine can climb in any song is right - I've only seen him climb twice and once it was during SOT and the other time during Starseed.
Starseed, Superman and the Birdman will probably (hopefully) be the last to go.
Starseed and Superman will never leave the OLP set... they are both classics.

out of the songs listed in the poll. OMA will be the one to leave. It is hard because OLP play different areas now and different sets to the areas. I have seen shows where Naveed wasn't done, Superman's Dead not done,4AM not done, Clumsy not done. It depends on the bands mood, time restrictions and other elements.
I think that songs like SD, IAH, 4AM and CLumsy are staples and will pretty much be in the sets. I like to see them bring back some older songs from CLumsy and Happiness that haven't been done in years. Wishful thinking on my part.

You're right, they probably will keep these songs, but i just thought it would be interesting to see which of the choices was expendable
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
