The Nightlife and Release tours featured all their respective singles, if I remember correctly.

Lucas.
Thank god if we'll be without Numb as a single... - it's a good album track, but it'd fail miserably as a single.
Because you dance to disco, and you don't like rock...

I'd say you were more disturbed than disturbing, but then that's what happens when you bottom for Greeks :wink:

Don't you ever have the urge to be a man? :wink:

Actually, you don't need to answer that - I've seen your Gaydar profile :lol:

I can't say: "I've really tried", but you are determined to get me to say something gay so I can be officially labelled as "gay" but it won't work :wink:

Keep trying :wink:

I find that strange too. Perhaps this decision is based upon the Release tour experiences. During the concerts I attended, the audience reacted a bit lame on the slower tracks... - And they want to make people have a good time. - Keep in mind that they play for a general festival audience...

"Numb" at a concert means one thing: restroom break. Nothing ruins the momentum of an exciting concert like slamming the brakes with ballad. Now, in all fairness, it's a different story when the concert is released on video and you're enjoying it at home.

The quality of psb making up-tempo and anthemic songs is AMAZING, BRILLIANT, WONDERFUL, etc.

The quality of psb making balads is awful and most of the psb balads are pretty boring (overall, the last ones).
