I think people here are being way too negative about the current setlist.

First thing I keep seeing is people saying he should remove songs like Disposable Teens or mOBSCENE. But honestly, that’s not gonna happen. These are big songs and he still needs to appeal to casual fans too. Not everyone at the show is a hardcore fan. Reddit is not reality.

Also we really need to remember how it was before. From like 2015 to 2019 it was basically the same setlist every time, almost no deep cuts. And when he tried songs like Dried Up, Tied Up and Dead to the World, it was not good most of the time, he would mess it up or not even finish the song.

Now it’s completely different. We are getting so many deep cuts. He played 8 out of 9 songs from OAUG which is honestly crazy. And also stuff we never thought we would hear live.

Like Long Hard Road Out of Hell is now a regular in the setlist, which never happened before. He brought s(aint) back. He brought back Dried Up, Tied Up and Dead to the World and now it actually works. He also brought back Mechanical Animals and Get Your Gunn which is amazing. He even brought back The Fight Song, and now we actually get good versions of all these songs. And for Tourniquet he even brought back the stilts, which is something we didn’t see in a long time.

We even saw him soundcheck Little Horn last year.

And for Halloween he played If I Was Your Vampire from Eat Me, Drink Me… I think most of us believed he would never touch that album again.

So I don’t really understand all the complaining. We should be grateful for what we have right now. He is sober now, he is focused, and you can clearly see it in the performances.

Also, honestly, we don’t even need to complain when you think about it. If you showed a fan from 2019, when people were making excuses for his performances because he was deep into addiction, how he looks and performs now, they would not even believe it’s the same person. It’s actually kind of crazy. It really feels like a miracle how he managed to get his act together and become sober.

And he is clearly also thinking about the hardcore fans with all these deep cuts.

Also right now it feels like anything is possible in the setlist. Nothing is off the table anymore. He could bring back anything.

And the Antichrist Superstar anniversary show for Halloween is actually happening, which is crazy to even think about.
