I am a TWOTW fan too, never understood the hate. And there are other good songs like The Other Side, Island of Fools, This Side of Fate, The Last Hero (It's a crime this one not be played more regularly) and Cradle to the Grave! Will they play it this tour? well, hopefully yes...
I wouldn't mind to see Twilight or Losing Patient. I think this one could be great live.
I doubt they play more than one TLH song.

I just hope that, this time, after the album's release, they will play a good number of new songs like 6 or 7, which I doubt. If they keep only 4 will be poor.

Well, if Forever Falling gets a good reception (and I don't see why not), then it should be in place of Waters Rising as the song for Mark to sing. Plus, there's some other great gems out there like Native Son, Walking on the Sky, Dying Light so I imagine they will play at least one of those on the regular.

Of course, everything will help better if they forgo having two openers and just keep one support and AB gets more playing time. Nothing wrong with Dirty Honey and The Raven Age, they sound good for what they want to accomplish, but honestly, they don't bring a lot of value like a band like 10 Years or Shinedown has (which in honesty is an impossible task and an unfair statement to make for those young bands, but I'm laying the cards out there). That stated, I imagine AB keeps bring a 3rd band on the bill (especially a lesser name) since they want the younger bands to do well in front of their crowds and grow a fanbase themselves.

The UK shows has to have at least two well known bands outside of AB on the bill since having a packaged tour = more tickets sold than having only two bands on the bill.

I'm another WOTW fan. Top three from the last album for me. I could see them doing it too as Come To Life and Broken Wings are also in drop B.

Same.

Wish they’d stop metalingus. It’s a heavy one. But being a wrestling fan back in what 2004 2005? Just reminds me of them playing “edges theme song”

Edit the guy actully lives in Asheville and was at Charlotte show a few years ago. He’s a fan of the band so maybe that’s why they keep it in set

Yeah I read somewhere that Metalingus is their most played song which is wild. It's a decent tune, but they have better "heavy" tracks on even the same album. I like what they do with it live though, introducing all the band members and the audience interaction, even if the song itself is a tad overrated

Well, Metalingus is not only their most played song live, but it's also their most streamed song on Spotify (40 million plays). Double than what #2 has which is Watch Over You at 20 million.

So yeah, it's safe to say its their most recognizable track (and it's not even a single) and therefore it will always get played.

Can’t disagree with the logic there. Makes sense it’s a staple. Hoping they removed before tomorrow comes...... dang long drive guys. Can’t wait to see AB tonight. Named my son Myles with a Y after this frontman....... love a rock and roll show

Edit anyone at Raleigh notice if merch booth had any AB stickers? I’d like one for the car.

Man Myrtle beach is nice. Hope the guys soaked up the sun here yesterday on their off day. Ice area. Must be cool as crap to get to travel the country (world) and see nice places every weekend.

The Tremonti SE has new strings on it, and freshly polished for tomorrow's clinic. Looking forward to Mark signing my axe.

I'm headed to the show in Baltimore. There only two things that will get me into the state of Maryland.... craft beer and AB haha.
I should probably work from home on Monday.. but oh well.

It’s definitely not as nice as some of the other HOB venues across the country, but it’s only an hour away from me and they aren’t going to ever play any closer to me

I love the House of Blues in Anaheim. It's in the Anaheim Gardenwalk and it has its own parking garage so you don't need to park anywhere near Disneyland. That stated, I live so close to it that if there's a show at the HOB, I might as well just take the bus there and take an Uber/Lyft home and it would only set me back $13. Parking for the day is $24.00 (well, $3.00 an hour, plus HOB does give you two hours of validation). I might as well try the bus/lyft approach for my next visit there so that I can stay around the Anaheim Gardenwalk longer.

I hope AB plays there for their SoCal show, but its a bit sizable to them. 2,200 people capacity compared to the Wiltern's 1,850 people capacity. No matter, because I love the Wiltern as well. Been to four shows there this year and all of them were pretty good to really amazing.
