How about they play Purple Haze because it means something special to them or they just enjoy playing it....??
Anybody who's been on stage will agree,sometimes there are covers you enjoy playing more than some of your own material....

Whatever Kevin...I'm sure the band are taking your comments on board. Oh, and Internal Conflicts, the second song, is one of Coroner's fastest. Fair enough if you don't like some of the tunes, but you only make yourself look stupid by whining about it. I would be grateful for seeing them at all, even if they played some Kanye dribble *ugh*

Kev, really, you are too picky, imo. Internal Conflicts is really fast.
I'm really envious that you saw the boyz live. I agree that i'd even prefer seeing them silent standing on stage

I agree that i'd even prefer seeing them silent standing on stage I couldn't agree more! Why is it that some fans whine for 15 years about them re-uniting and then go on and whine about the songs they choose to play? It might just be that they are playing the songs that, I know this is going to be hard for some to understand but just maybe they're playing songs that they want to play. I would see them in a second, and if all they played were covers then so be it, as long as they are happy doing these shows it might just lead into something bigger, like maybe a new release. Some people are just ungrateful no matter what, I don't understand?!? I'd like to thank them for doing these shows and I'm not even going to be able to see one of them. It just excites me that they are doing this in the first place. |

Not sure why you all are bitching about my comments, I said they were great and even said "if I have to be a nit picky" to give my comments some context.
I don't see why I have to enjoy Purple Haze and other lesser songs when they are plenty of other great tunes they have they could have played. It's not like I went into a bitchfest about it, I simply gave my opinion.
And judging by the reaction on the crowd, most of them were in agreement with me. I'm not one of those type who are just grateful to be in the presence of Coroner. If they stood or stage or played all cover songs (like some have commented on and clearly shows their biased FANBOY-ism) I wouldn't attend. Nor would I do that for any band I like. I like a band because I like THEIR songs. Plain & simple. Not sure why that's such a hard concept to understand.
If you don't want to hear other people's opinions, don't read a message board. I have no problem admitting to being picky or over analytical at times. Nor do I care if you would enjoy the band if they played Lady Gaga songs. To each his own.

Given the response to Kevin's post, I probably should not post this, but I will anyway...
I am not sure what to say about Coroner. Their set list was essentially the same as what was posted earlier, except they added two songs from No More Color. That was obviously a huge bonus for me. Even when listening to the five songs they played that I loved, however, I was not as enthralled as I had been during many of the comeback concerts I had seen. For example, I believe I enjoyed Sabbat, Forbidden, and Atheist considerably more. Probably on par with when I saw Cynic the second time. Coroner at least beat out At the Gates. Honestly, I enjoyed Voivod's performance considerably more than Coroner's.
Perhaps a different set list would have made a big difference. I am not sure. I know that the first time I saw Cynic, hearing a Focus song was bliss, but the show overall left me disappointed due to all the new material being played. I did not feel that bliss when hearing D.O.A. or Read My Scars. I certainly enjoyed the experience, but it was far from transcendent.
Tommy and Ron played well. They were not balls of fire, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves. Their audience interaction was rather stilted, due to the language barrier. I did not notice, but I was told by my musician friends in the crowd that Marky struggled a lot with the drumming.
So I am glad I saw Coroner, but I am even happier I saw Voivod, which is somewhat disturbing to me given that Coroner mean so much more to me than Voivod ever did. It is odd how things work out sometimes.

Well,it's all fair enough to me,sometimes you're expecting so much that in the end you're a bit disapointed,it depends on things like expectations obviously but also the frame of mind you're in,etc etc....Also bear in mind that this was a festival(I personnally don't enjoy a band as much if it's during a festival,a smaller tour gig is much better).
Anyway,I don't thing you'll ruffle any feathers with this post,it's not like you're moaning for the sake of it but a plain and honest opinion.

Does anyone recall being disappointed with Slayer's album that followed Reign In Blood? I do. I read an interview with Tom Araya wherein he stated that the band knew they wouldn't be able to play that fast every single song of another album again. So they purposely slowed down.
It's essentially the same with Coroner. The reason their music slowed down was due not only to a natural evolution/ organic maturation of their songwriting skills, but it was also due, in large part, to a conscious decision by the band to create songs that could be translated properly to a live performance.
With only a single guitarist, there is a lot that simply can't be done well on stage, and I, for one, was never disappointed with the direction Coroner's music took. Sure, they slowed down, but they gained a shitload of SOUL, something that most thrash/speed/whatever-metal bands have not a shred of.
This is why, I feel, Purple Haze is likely significant to the Coroner setlist, as few could argue with the amount of raw emotion Hendrix was able to communicate with 6 strings and an amp, which is why the guy, not being some kind of 21st century shredding solo machine like so many axemen nowadays, is a legend and idol to players like Tommy T. Baron.

John,
Go on the 70K Cruise and you will have 2 more chances to see them. They will more than likely be more polished by then and have alternate setlists. So if I can hear Die By My Hand, I'll tolerate Purple Haze much better. LOL
