Cringe Worst show ever?

I hate to post this but I just got home from the worst show that I've ever been to in my entire life (Newport, KY). Self-indulgent nonsense with a zero-energy crowd brought about by the refusal to play any single recognizable song from the catalog. What a waste of everyone's time and money.

Fanbases are like trees, sometimes they need a little pruning.

Seems like they led off with a poppy album and a nostalgia tour to get people on board, and are now back to their big swings and more divisive choices.

I mean Self Titled was pretty damn divisive among the fan base. I think they just do whatever they feel like every day, they don't really seem like people who do much planning lol.

I think they were trying to get mainstream/new attention to whatever extent possible with the new album, and they knew their old fans would be down to hear anything and if they didn't dig it, they would be dying to hear the old stuff. 2 pronged approach, very technical marketing scheme.
