What Do You Think of OLP Dropping the "Stunt Guy"?

Post by He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named »

I know there was a similar topic on this, but I wanna get a feel for the consensus.

I wasn't too hot on the change, and it might make some songs very hard to play (ala "One Man Army", which is one of my favorites live, besides the fact that the rhythm always drowns out the lead solo), but if songs will sound as amazing as "Superman's Dead" does without the 5th guy, then I'm all for it. Raine also seems to be using more falsetto, at least from what I can judge by the summer boots.

The version of "SD" in Pittsburgh 8/15/03 (the best bootleg ever) is the best I've ever heard. It resurrected my love for the song.

Also, I'd like to see Raine go back to the acoustic on "Naveed".

I also am curious to hear the new songs (which sound like they have two guitars from the holiday sampler)

Stunt Guy? At first I thought you meant some dude who did stunts at OLP shows. :clumsy:


In my opinion, they need their auxillary musician back.

I think i need to hear them live a couple times to get a true feel for the newer sound....but raine can play guitar and seems to do that on some of the new songs...i guess the new album will tell the difference.......
Is there something good, something more?
Is there anything worth dying for?

All I know is that they sounded absolutely fantastic in both Knoxville and Pittsburgh last summer when I saw them... so I really don't mind. :thumbs:

They could bring back Mike E and just have him on stage because he rocks. He doesn't even have to play if he doesn't want to. :D

Honestly, I can't think of one change since the transition from SM to Gravity that I agree with...

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

:nod: Definitely :D
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.
