She really is! Without her, I wouldn't have been able to go to that show at all, so I'm extremely grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bellie Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 @jengd is right, no reason they couldn't switch to very different songs throughout the same setlist, talking about how they did play BOBD at iheart along with Foam and it still went very well. It doesn't matter if the songs are different as such, but BOBD is one of their constant hits, it's like a first range identity of the band for all the fans, no matter how the theme differs with any new album, while Still Breathing was a first range identity of Rev Rad I'd say. They played Bang Bang live at the first Foam live club show but Bang Bang does really fit with the spirit of "let's go full party rock n roll and throw everything away" . Bang Bang could find itself in the RevRad setlist as well as in the Foam setlist. Still Breathing also in an absolute way, if they wanted to, but I can understand that, for that precise song, given the ambiance (and even the message in a way, not as the messages respectively in Foam and Still Breathing are necessarily opposite, but rather parallel) of Foam that is so different, they won't add it in the tour. And for whatever reasons in Billie's head. I still think that for Billie, despite the popularity of SB, he may have thought he was given a lot of effort mentally and physically to sing it, still getting a positive response, but that it wasn't worth to do it again for the next tour, while they have such awesome new material to drive this tour. Some songs like Bang Bang must be easier to perform because it's that same "losing control" atmosphere which he seems to fins comfort into these days. It's not a mentally deep involving performance, rather something to let loose. I still wanna say how much I loved SB sung live and how I thought it was beautiful. It showed the most sensible part of Billie. It touches you right in the feels. The way he sang it live was that for me. The way he reached the high notes was not like exactly in the studio version (by the way, even throughout the tour he changed the way he reached these notes) but it's not a matter of the pitch only: it's the vowel, the way he makes it come out, and the way he makes his voice break when he reaches it,... very different from the way he sings high notes in the two Foam songs so far. For me, the latter are easier to sing, while in SB, it's hard to make it sound good, going to look that note deep in your throat while making your voice break at the same time. I think he did a great job of it live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's simplistic and that works on vinyls. I like how there's no text, it's elegant (no ketchup font makes it better ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
