General OLP News

Doesn't sound so unreasonable to me for a 1-off show, especially if there are other bands. I don't think all of that money is going straight into 4 peoples' pockets.

I agree.... we have to remember that they are free agents now. They pay for everything out of pocket. Traveling back and forth (since these shows happen at random when they aren't on a proper tour), tour managers, road crew, trusty... all those people are on their payroll

[faninor]

Oh I'm sure the bill is even bigger for bands that are helping to support an entire record label.

[faninor]

This sounds like very good/exciting news!

conversation in studio last night. OLP set lists will no longer be reminiscent of the night before. big changes show to show. diggin deep!

[FireGX]

Although exciting, I wonder if they'll have to cut any songs from the current setlist. I kinda hope they only add to it =)

[Heavy Alibi]

Really exciting news! As to FireGX's comment, if they do remove any of the current songs I'd say One Man Army is the best contender. IMHO they need to get away from that one for a long while, then listen to the original recording before playing it again in the future.

I agree it would be awesome if they could work up to a 20ish song setlist... 16 was a tad too short on the Burn Burn tour. I felt the new album was not represented enough. But I wouldn't mind too much if they didn't play all the hits every single show. Sure, Starseed and Superman's Dead are awesome songs -- but they would be that much more exciting to see them played live if you didn't basically know you'd be hearing those songs going into the show.

I'd really love to see them switching up setlists as much as my other favorite band Radiohead... I didn't see them play Karma Police until my 4th time seeing them, for example. And it was great! And the other shows were filled with other great songs!

I agree. In Niagara Falls we saw If You Believe and then we got Thief in Tecumseh and they were nice little surprises. I like not knowing what to expect.
I think they could cut Somewhere Out There or Innocent once in a while. Those songs are done WAY too much. They are the kind of songs that get annoying when you hear them too often. For me anyways and like Josh said, they need to add a few more. They have too extensive a catalog to be playing the same few every time.

Been bumping this since the album leaked last night and didn't even realize it until I just read Raine's tweet. Canadian rapper Drake has Chantal featured in the opening track of his album Take Care, song called Over My Dead Body. Great song.

Completely Random, but on my drive home last night, I had the local radio station on and some syndicated health talk show was on. Then suddenly the first 10 seconds of "Not Enough" was playing and I initially I thought my CD player turned itself on. Turns out they just play random bits of songs for their into/outro. I guess I officially heard OLP on the radio locally.

Interview with Raine is live right now. (03.15.12 11pm est)

[Teedus]

He sounds so guarded in this interview, trying to find some polysyllabic words to sound smart. Odd.

[Teedus]

Maybe they'll play something new, judging from that guy's comment. He was like, "IS THIS NEW?!" haha like he is waiting.

I was thinking the same thing. Hope someone out there is rolling on this!

[Teedus]

Only has Heavyweight won't be a new song.

[Flynner]

I just started listening, was anything significant said?

[Teedus]

Nope.

[Teedus]

He says he's back to his old days when questioned whether he could still sing like the past. Admits he hasn't been able to.

[todddowney]

Crazy guitar driven record, two-and-a-half min solos (prob an exaggeration) but sounds cool. I have to say any guitar we've heard from Curve has sounded pretty good.

A lot of falsetto on the new record.

[Flynner]

He said "a lot of FALSETTO"??!?!?!? thats fucking awesome, just made my day
