Songs they should play on tour but won't
 

Some songs that deserve to be played this tour but probably won't:

Next 100 years (unbelieveable in concert but they won't play it)
I Believe
These Days
This Ain't a Love Song (thought this was a great one on the live from london dvd)
Edge of a Broken Heart (Jon won't sing it b/c his voice can't-or so he claims)
Unbreakable (obviously, its never even been released on an album, unfortunate in my opinon though)
Always
Blood on Blood (I know they played it several times during the Bounce Tour, but I have a feeling its getting Bounced this tour)
Living in Sin

Now obviously I don't expect them to play all these songs in the same concert but it would be nice if they mixed a couple of them in each show.

Aloha !

Next 100 Years won't be played indeed. But I Believe, These Days, Always, Blood On Blood and Living In Sin all have a small chance of getting played. Edge Of A Broken Heart won't be played just because Jon doesn't like that song.

Edge won't ever get played- Jon hates the song.
As for the rest, I would say Always, TAALS probably have the best bet since other than BOF there do not seem to be any classic ballads on the new record. LIS just doesn't fit the guys much anymore, maybe once in awhile live but I doubt it would be a regular live.

Man... They need to play some songs that appeal to a live audience... Next 100 Years is absolutely ace live and the solo's are absolutely unbelievable.

I Believe, Dry County, Stick To Your Guns, Hook Me Up, Joey, Say It Isn't So and If That's What It Takes should all be played IMO.

Something To Believe In will be played now and again, atleast in Europe and Japan, but it is without doubt the best live song and should defnitely be played at every show.

Aloha !

It indeed is a great live song, but they've never pulled it since 2000 like they did in 1996. It's lost a lot of it's power when it's played live nowadays, probably because it's no longer a regular.

True, but even acoustically it sounds really good. I'd just love to hear it in person sometime.

"I'd Die For You" accoustic would be nice too and some tunes from Destination Anywhere.

i think the band (actually just jon) should face the fact that these days only flopped in the states- in europe it was quite big (at least in austria and in germany) and whenever bj play things off these days at concerts the crowd gets wild! when they played these days in vienna at the bounce tour it was incredible... i think they should really give that album a chance- i'd also like to hear stuff from the keep the faith record... but my fave would still be breakout :-)

I wanted them to play Fear, Hardest Part is the Night, Shot Through the Heart, Tokyo Road, Takin it Back, One Wild Night, I Believe, In These Arms(non-acoustic)... but, unfortunately, they wont...

I would love to be at a show when they did Something to Believe In!

I've seen Dry County a few times and I think the reason it doesn't get played is that it doesn't go over very well with the audience. I love the song, but it just doesn't get the crowds going, at least not over here. Maybe it's too long and too slow. Sometimes I hate that audience reaction does play such a role in what gets chosen. Jon loved Mystery Train, but audiences didn't, so it got tossed from the Crush set lists pretty quickly. Just about everyone reacts so well to those old standards like Bad Name that they'll never get left off. They seem to cater to the big picture and not take chances with stuff that would thrill the die hards. :(
