Opinion: Best song to start off the shows?

[quigonkick]

Personally, I think the best song to open the shows with would be "Air" off Elements.

Just imagine that cool intro ... "The Air! Stirs! Up! The! Gal-ax-y! BEEEEEEE!!" and they rip into the rest of the song. MAN, that would move a LOT of air.

Just seems to be a great way to open what will be incredible nights.

What do YOU think would work?

[AndThePsychicSaw]

Air is great. And The Psychic Saw would also be a good opener... just BAM. DO, DODODO, DODODO, DODO DODODODO.

[epitaph]

Piece of time would be the best opener for me.
And The Psychic Saw the best song to end a show.

[Azathoth]

I'll second Piece of Time. And add Green.

[WhoCares]

"No Truth" should be considered...

[epitaph]

I think all of these suit for openers:

Unquestionable Presence
Piece of time
An Incarnations dream
Air
Earth
and of course No truth

[Corpseworm]

Room with a View

[Alpha~Omega]

I say Piece of Time. Just imagine when they play Wacken on this big stage, the song starts with this windy noise like intro through the PA.

[phodg]

I Deny.

[metaldick]

GREEN!!!!!!!!!

[Tyler Durden]

I was thinking 'Air' as well, but seeing as it's been suggested already - I think 'Your Life's Retribution' could be a strong contender...

[Thuathail]

I would have to say it's a tie between Piece of Time and Air.

[Kill Or Be Killed]

An incarnation's dream...just like in the past..... you can't lose with one of the best song ever written in Metal history!!!! Fuckin' GODLY TUNE!

[SteveFlynn]

All good suggestions.... we haven't discussed it yet, but I think I'll be pushing for Unquestionable Presence as the opener......the way it's written, it is set up well for intro stuff....lots of cymbal swells, wood block, guitars swelling,.....it provides for a good erie intro.... IMHO.... plus it's a good song to warm up with.

[SteveFlynn]

Josh, I even thought of starting with Unholy War... just come out of the gates blazing fast with the opening breaks...... we're definitely going to play that song...I don't know about first but....we'll definitely play it..

I'm with Josh, Piece of Time would be a great opener.

[zyquix]

Well Piece of Time has swells in it too.. It might also have a sort of semi-symbolic feeling to it too... Like it was the opening track on the record that started the Atheist trilogy, and it'd be the first song played since the regrouping of Atheist.

[motherman]

Mother man or Piece of time would be great openers.

[FatalEnergy]

No Truth!

[Bassshredder]

Unquestionable Presence or Piece of Time
outro Samba Briza(sp?) with a heavy part incorporated
Bassshredder

[Long-haired Muchacho]

Unquestionable Presence i think

[Cloaca]

I wouldn't mind, just as long as BRAINS was in there somewhere. C'mon people, who loves some BRAAAAINNSS?

[Transient]

mother man

[Satura]

Piece Of Time!!!!

[Transient]

this thread really shows how great all the atheist songs are. there isnt one fan favorite

[Thuathail]

True, true. Most bands only have two good songs - one that they play at the beginning and one at the end.

[WhoCares]

I don't envy the guys, trying to decide which songs NOT to play...
