The Seeker of Good Songs
Well-Known Member
There was a comment form Morrissey once in answer to a question about why his live sets are so short compared to others.
He replied something like, that he gets lock jaw and can't be on stage all night like some people who hang their heads and play guitar for three hours...
this from a recent interview with Andy Fletcher of Depeche Mode...
"What songs would you say get the biggest responses from the crowd these days?
Well, I mean, "Enjoy the Silence." And "Never Let Me Down Again," which has this amazing crowd waving effect that Dave gets going that's pretty exciting. Some of the new songs -- "Wrong" is going down really well. The hardest thing about our set list is actually compiling it. It's so difficult with so many songs. We can't do a Robert Smith and play for three-and-a-half hours. I don't think Dave can run around and dance for that long. The problem with the Cure is they did it a couple of times and then when they went back to a normal set people complained."
