OR they can blame Naysmith.

At least it'd provide some humour for long time fans who aren't appeased by the repetitive setlists.

All of them basically... INWJTEOL sounded better live. As did PFAYM and GP.
I have to pick one, so I'll choose INWJTEOL as it suprised me the most how well it works.

Autumnsong can endure for as long as it wants! Some more off KYE and Lifeblood AND POSTCARDS would be good though. I think I shall politely say to James if I get the chnace that it would be great to hear some more different songs!

Someone just has to be brutal with them and tell them to grow some bollocks. I went to see a 30 year old band last night who played album tracks, b-sides and 8 new songs in a set length identical to the Manics. These guys are also constantly in side-projects and one of them is a classical composer, so the Manics have absolutely NO EXCUSE to play the same old songs over and over again.

They do seem to be almost completely ignoring two albums though? Well actually most of the 00's albums?

I'd imagine we can also add It's So Easy to that list, they might not have played it, but they certainly rehearsed it, and if it weren't for traffic it would have appeared.

Did someone say the band had said they'd rehearsed 42 songs for this tour?

I don't imagine that one takes a great deal of rehearsing!

I think they should have a whole Duff slot - do It's So Easy, Billion Balconies then let him and Wire duet on Attitude. What about a Manics cover of Sucker Train Blues with Duff? Brilliant...
