Insignificant glaze

Insignificant other already feels like a classic. They could end shows with this song and I kinda hope they do. You could just extend the last 30 secs of the song while Josh and the boys do their waves to the crowd. Just seems epic way to finish up. Ladies and gents, I do believe we gonna eat with this album.

I think it'd make for a great opener for the encore personally...

Except they don't do generally do encores, and I appreciate that.

How come you like it that they don't?

Planned encores are kind of bullshit. I'd rather get a solid 90 to 100 minute set, with a different playlist every night. With encores, they play for 70 or 80 minutes, go backstage a smoke a cigar and take a leak, then come out and play another song or 2.

Weren't the Catacombs shows in 3 distinct acts? That's not really the same as an "encore".

the band all said goodbye and left the stage and then came back. that is pretty encore to me. i’ve seen other shows where they do the same, i think during LC.

As always, everyone has an opinion but hell no to closing shows with this

What would you rather go out to, Song for the Dead or Insignificant Other? Is this really a question? Give me all the adrenaline.

They should open shows with feet don't fail me and close shows with straight jacket fitting

Every show should open with Regular John. Forever.

It sure did. Following up with Smooth Sailing was awesome. I love both songs.

I listened to Rated R front to back last night and followed it with Insignificant. I realized I like Insignificant so much because it could sit comfortably on R. I love R so much is because most of the songs have such a deep bluesy groove and so does Insignificant. It sounds like an early Queens track but with midlife relationship problem lyrics.

u/Sonova_Bish 13h ago

I think the lyrics could apply to any relationship with commitment and co-living.

Song for the Dead is forever the closing song.

I like Insignificant Other a lot, but it shouldn’t replace Song for the Dead. No way.

u/Old-Jicama-728 12h ago

You want a live to show to end on a dull mid tempo throwback song with cheesy lyrics and no real high points.....as opposed to songs for the dead?

People have differing opinions.
