Staffan I also believe they'll open with Sympathy.

stonedinaustralia despite the opening lines of the song, which make it a cute choice for the introduction, i don't think sympathy will get the opening spot for a couple of reasons unless they play a truncated version

opening songs are generally ones suited to helping the sound guy(s)(and that includes the band) pull the sound together quickly (sound check or not)... you want a song that is fairly tight in the sense that it is straight-forward sound wise and also not too long time wise


imho, from a musical point of view, a good version of sympathy would have quite a lot of sound/dynamic variations and for a real blow out you want everybody - the band and the audience- well warmed up... to expect them to come out cold and play a slayer take on sympathy is a pretty big ask (again imho)

a good opener would be punchy and straight to the point


still, i could be wrong and i look forward to hearing it if i am
