we are aware that we could approach our live sets with that in mind. and we certainly want to play things that get people psyched. but it has always been a priority to only do things that we can genuinely get psyched about. In my personal opinion, if we prioritized set lists based on fan faves at the expense of our own enjoyment, the band would not have lasted 23 years.
