There are bands that avoid them and play their whole new album or something. You need to have an understanding of what people are there to see. Like maybe we will play one or two songs off our new album, but that\u2019s not why people bought the ticket. Fortunately and unfortunately for bands like us who had huge hits in 2003-2007, that\u2019s what people will come to hear.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pierre:&nbsp;<em>\u201cYeah, it\u2019s true. We both still make new music and if something sticks then we will put it in the setlist and maybe keep it there for the rest of our career. If an album or a song doesn\u2019t stick and you know the fans don\u2019t really want to hear it, then play the songs that they do want to hear. It goes back to wanting to be entertained.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jaret:&nbsp;<em>\u201cMC Lars famously said back in 2005, \u2018Music was a product, now it\u2019s a service\u2019. When you\u2019re putting out new music, that\u2019s a completely separate thing from your live show as far as I\u2019m concerned. It\u2019s a completely different product. So if you want to hear \u2018Lunch. Drunk. Love.\u2019 you can go listen to that. Yet if we have 2500 people at a show where about 100 give a shit about the songs on that album, you\u2019ve got to go with the majority.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pierre:&nbsp;<em>\u201cI want the crowd to have no chance to think about going to the bathroom or the bar. I want them feeling like they can\u2019t miss a single moment. That comes with playing the hits.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jaret:&nbsp;<em>\u201cI don\u2019t get it when people say to me, \u2018Aren\u2019t you sick of playing \u20181985\u2019 or \u2018Girl All The Bad Guys Want\u2019?&#8217; I\u2019m not sick of it at all. Standing in front of those crowds and watching their faces when that first note is played, that\u2019s the reason that for 22 hours a day I\u2019m away from my family, eating like shit, drinking, trying to keep myself sane. The reason is that moment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Pierre:&nbsp;<em>\u201cI think that mentality is why we both get on so well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fancy getting your hands on some new BFS merch?
