   awesome night, great setlist as well :) and the pyrotechnics were great too :D if somewhat blinding at times... XD
   
   any idea what the first song Pain played was? i got the rest of their setlist but im not sure of the first one they played...

5. That setlist isn't entirely correct... I think Poet and the Pendulum came after Dead Boy's Poem, and The Escapist before Dark Chest of Wonders. Walking In The Air was not played, but Tuomas played some of Michael Nyman's The Piano at the end of The Islander...plus a couple other things. But close enough. Romanticide and The Escapist were played for the first time ever and were brilliant with Anette on vocals, and it was the first time she's sung Ghost Love Score...also excellent. All in all, great setlist

6. They were absolutely epic. I heard them practising "Ghost Love Score" when I was stood outside and nearly died because that is the song I always wanted to hear live, but never thought they would play....
   
   Such a shame they left so quickly afterwards though, I would have loved to have met them >_<

8. Omg, they ruined my favourite songs :-(

9. Ghost love score sounded terrible, it doesn't suit her voice at all, she doesn't have the voice for it and DBP became so flat and pop-like in her interpretation :(((

10. Can't wait to see Anette singing Ghost Love Score tomorrow^^

12. They said in "Kerrang!" this week that they don't want to play "Bye Bye Beautiful" at the moment because they think they've overplayed it or something...

13. yeah, also, that setlist isn't right - i was making a playlist of it on my iPod during the gig (coz I'm cool XD) and it was actually:
    
    7 days to the wolves
    dead to the world
    the siren
    amaranth
    dead boy's poem
    romanticide
    the poet and the pendulum
    nemo
    sahara
    the islander
    escapist
    dark chest of wonders
    
    encore:
    ghost love score
    wish i had an angel

14. Ghost love score? Dead boy's poem? omg.. lets see what she'll do:s

15. I was there. And I must say Dead Boy's Poem and Ghost Love Score are not for her, she does not fit in this song :((. It was a big disappointment.

17. She is awful at singing DBP and GLS, she failed these songs.

    Laura wrote on 20.03.2009 at 14:18

18. oh PLEASE let the setlist be the same in the US!!!!!!!!
    i want to hear anette's versions of these songs!

    Max wrote on 20.03.2009 at 16:04

19. Old songs are not for her, I've never heard before such horrible singng, even cover bands do songs lke GLS better than she did. And she killed DBP.
