Best of me?

[peacock41]

has this been played live ever.... i was looking for one on youtube .. and i never noticed that they left it out ov the sum41.com live session thing .. anyone know why

[samueeL]

Never been played. Probably 'cause it has so many layered guitars and other stuff that it wouldn't sound good with normal line up.

[Heather]

yeah, I think the layers make it difficult to play live with the same emotion and effect, so I wouldn't ever count on a live version

[peacock41]

what layers ..couldnt they pull it off with 2 guitars

[Jeremy Kill]

They could probably play it live, but like Heather said, it wouldn't have the same effect and emotion as the original song (much like many songs from Underclass Hero). And with Deryck's divorce, I doubt we'll ever hear a live version.

yeah, I thought about that too

[BrandonCorey]

I'd say it's because they don't want to play slow songs. And well Deryck doesn't seem to enjoy using pedals either. Also it may have something to do with the absense of an acoustic guitar because it wouldn't sound right with an electric unless you really messed with the settings for just that song.

[Lars]

I love that song.

Underrated.

[Mr-David-Blues]

yeah its a good song

but i dont think it would go well in the live shows

i prefer upbeat jumpy songs played live much better atmousphere

[Emil]

Those types of songs can't be played live. Sort of like Blinks Always which sounded shit live.

yeah just Imagine it after Still Waiting they'll give us best of me ...nice :D

[TomiT14]

Yeah, it's a great song, but I don't think it would fit in a live show setlist.
It's a shame it wasn't played on UH Live at the studio session either.

And there was already a thread about "is there a video of Pull The Curtain live?", so to prevent the rest of the questions about the unplayed songs, here's a list of songs that have never been played live.

-Billy Spleen
-Open Your Eyes
-I'm Not The One
-Slipping Away (only the outro was played)
-Ma Poubelle
-Best Of Me
-*Speak Of The Devil
-*Dear Father
-*Pull The Curtain
-*So Long Goodbye (only played in acoustic sessions)
-All the B-sides except Moron

The asterisks were played in UH Live session, but nowhere else.

And Astronaut
The Jester
Always

[Jesus Christ Supermarket]

I disagree, I think the song is lame and uninspired, plus the chorus is toothless.

[TomiT14]

And Astronaut
The Jester
Always

I'm sure Astronaut was played live when it came out. That means around 1996-1999.
Always is a B-side, so that was included in the list.
The Jester was played in the summer of 2007 in some shows, Germany being one of them.

Oh sorry, I didn't see that..

Yeah, it's one of my favourites from Chuck, if not the best IMO.
It's a shame it was never played, not even once.
