Red face Disarm (2010 Live Karaoke Version) Confusion Thread



What the hell is going on here?! Some sort of statement?

Taken from their Santa Barbara show over the weekend.

It upsets me that he thinks he's a good singer, or even a good-enough singer to pull something like that off.

I'm sure he thinks he's making some point about "being left alone" and how "the years burn" and how he's taking the song to reach a new meaning but still. Really?

eugh - why doesn't he just dump Disarm, Today and BWBW once and for all?
for an artist who talks about always being dangerous and sticking it to convention he does seem to like playing it safe with setlists (30 minute awful covers aside)

"and what I choose is my choice/voice" even if the hardcore fans disagree

I'm seeing them next weekend in SLC - but fortunately, I'm doing it for free.

I really, really just don't understand what he's going for here. Why not just do a solo acoustic version of it, if it at all? So odd.

I wouldn't think so. Probably something more along his usual line of "yeah you jerkos want these 1993 hit singles right, well here's a complete transvestite of disarm"

Well if he didn't play stuff from SD then people would lose their shit. And, of course, since he does play stuff from SD, people lose their shit.

I guess what I'm saying is stop being bitches.

It's a good vocal performance though. Surprised they ditched the newish version with Jeff doing the strings part on Ebow so fast

It pretty much proves the point of "why even play disarm at all?" Strictly for the ticket-buyers.

Wow. It sounded like a conscious parody to me.

Didn't he perform We Only Come Out at Night in this way back in 1995? I could've sworn I've seen a performance which looks and sounds like he was just singing to backing music.

they're doing this with 1979 too.. the whole band playing to the backing track of the electronic beat and the ooo ahhs loop. check out videos from the sunset strip fest

and no, WOCOAN was played full band back in the old days.

Oh man this is great, just like a Dashboard Confessional concert, except Billy is the only one in the audience allowed to sing... he is his OWN AUDIENCE

finally - just billy and a backing track. We have gone full circle. No pesky other musicians to ruin it.

I hope on his part this is some grand artistic joke.
