« The Wait Is Over: ‘Chutzpah!’ Is Here! | Home | UK Tour: Support Bands Announced »
Help Us Decide The Setlist!
By Scott | September 2, 2009
Alright ladies and gents, the guys and I have a debate that needs to be settled and we need YOU to help us. For the upcoming tour this September, should we….
A. Play Chutzpah! in its entirety alongside a handful of best of’s and old classics
or
B. Play a set full of old classics and best of’s with a few choice cuts from Chutzpah! thrown in
Rehearsals are right around the corner and we need to figure out what the hell we’re doing so let us know your thoughts.
Cheers.
Scotty
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:21
A. You must play this whole album, with a few classics.
The new album is amazing.
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:22
Option A. Chutzpah in it’s entirety please!!! Thanks!!!
Matt
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:25
Vote over then! An incredible 100% vote for playing Chutzpah top to bottom.
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:28
play the whole of chutzpah its only 40 mins long and then a best of with a couple of rare treats
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:29
Option A! It’s an amazing album.
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:30
‘best of’ set lists are for festivals and one-off’s…..lets hear plenty from ‘Chutzpah’ & ‘WiLDHEARTS’ we love what the band are doing now, so lets hear it!
get that distillers cover in there somewhere too…..please!
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:37
Hi guys.
Play in its entirety. It’s ballsy, but crucially the tracks are all strong enough. The album is getting the right attention and the focus is the future. The gig reviews will have a new different focus, a new hook, new interest to be discussed and passed on. Different to the complimentary ‘how great the Wildhearts gig was, they played all their classics and favourites.’
Show new (and old) fans what the future holds, then blow them away with the best of, to go out and buy too.
I’ve been following you for years and seen many gigs, the album stands up enough for you to start differently.
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:38
Oh definitely the whole of Chutzpah, can’t wait to hear those songs live. Would be disappointed to hear only one or two off the new album in favour of tracks we’ve heard countless times before in a live setting.
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:46
And if you come to S. America like it’s rumored play a mix of both so we can have the classics and the new, we are first timers!
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:47
boys.. maybe in the uk option A is good.. but if u dare
to come here in Italy please go for a B!!!
cheers!
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:52
defo all of chutzpah. i will have to listen to it like fuck but I really don’t mind….
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:52
All of Chutzpah! Gotta be!
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:58
Option A, without a doubt.
We all know what the old songs sound like live, so mix it up a bit, do something different, it’s what you guys are good at!!
2 sets, Chutpah!, 4 or 5 of the covers then an encore of 2 or 3 oldies to finish.
Everyones happy!!
Free beer and dancing girls too… Or is that too much to ask?
September 2nd, 2009 at 21:59
Two of my good friends (who were brothers) David and Andrew Gale died in May 2007 (Heart Attack) and June 2009 (Collapsed Lung).
They were both massive fans of yours and I have been to see you guys many a time with them.
Would really appreciate if you could play 29x the pain or Jonesing for Jones and dedicate it to them at the Leeds gig on 26th Sept.
Thanks
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:02
Option A, Chutzpah! in its wonderful glory! ACE!
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:02
Option A….something different would be good…And you all seem proud of the new album…to hear a band play mainly new material is a good optimistic sign in my opinion!!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:04
B. The classics! Along with some new stuff.
Please
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:07
Option A please
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:09
ummmm option B for sure! c’mon… older wildhearts stuff is pretty darn amazing they need to get back on the drugs and write some more classics, the new album is average for the wildhearts compared to the likes of earth vs. phuq and even fishing for luckies….someone had to say it,, we’re all thinking it…sorry.
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:09
Chutzpah in it’s entirety please but rather than all in one go how about some oldies mixed in-between the new ‘uns. I can’t speak for others but I like the unpredictabilty when I see a band live especially when an old favourite or rarely played live track comes from out of the blue!
Also if it’s not asking too much at least one from Don’t be Happy…. Just Worry would be nice…Splattermania or Weekend maybe?
(one from Endless Nameless would be sweet too lol).
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:11
its an easy call really….its gotta be(A)…it really does require an airing live or ur doing urselfs an injustice….and like u would’nt give us the classic’s…of course u would….but ur never gonna please everyone!(first timers)
and if it is the first time seeing the band…….
WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN? LOL
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:12
BBBBBBBBBBBBbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb!!!!!!!
and play Turning American
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:12
play all of chutzpah! and some classics my album of the year needs to be heard live,see you at the waterfront
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:14
Without a doubt it has to be the new album then a bunch of oldies.
I HAVE to hear every single Chutzpah song live!!!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:14
Chutzpha! in all it’s magnificent glory and a good selection from the other albums and b-sides. Maybe a cheeky wee Sky Babies for good measure.
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:17
PS – Dan Phillips: just because you have no ears, don’t assume everyone else is as much as a tard as you.
Just so you know, I think THIS is the best album ever.
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:17
A bit of both, but it depends how long it is ’til you tour again cuz that might be an opportunity to play new and old and plug the new album on this tour. Either way I DON’T CARE, it’ll be amazing either way. Stu x
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:17
I might even learn to spell Chutzpah correctly for the gig. Never mind, looks like I’ve already done it.
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:20
endless nameless in its entirety and a few choice cuts off chutzpah
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:21
I’d really like to hear the whole of Chutzpah live. Maybe you could do a gig like the Manics did for Journal for Plague Lovers at the Roundhouse earlier this year – come on and play the whole new album in order and then have a break and come back and do a set of old classics – you’d definitely be onto a winner with me doing that. Can’t wait to see you at Shepherd’s Bush and freakin love the new album.
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:23
My vote is for option A. Without a doubt. Wanna see all the new tracks live. Know the classics inside out. This would be a sweet treat, and give the hardcore fans something they havent seen year after year. oh and Carmelita, and anything off Endless, Nameless. You know it makes sense….
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:25
1. The Jackson Whites

in regards to the fan…gallifrey seven ( totally lame name) who is obviously a very naive and retarded wildhearts fan who has disrespected me in my real of internet supremacy,, you are wrong… or so very wrong this album is like album and im lactose intolerant so fudge you.. and go get yourself a starbucks frappacino and chill out…meanyhead… yeah lets see you deal with serving… gonna make a visit to the burn department soon cos you just buurrrrned
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:27
Play the whole of Chutzpah plus a load of rarities. I’ve been waiting for ages to hear Dangerlust and Sky Babies live!
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:28
Chutzpah all the way through then a few old bits and bobs. Lovely jubbly!
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:28
It’d be great to hear the whole of Chutzpah for one set and follow it up with a few classics and B-sides.
Not many bands play their full new album but this one is definitely asking for a full live performance.
Personally I’d love to see you guys play Rooting for the Bad Guy again. My better half will be 7 months pregnant with our first kid when we see you at Newcastle and I’d love to be able to tell him/her that they heard that one before they were even born!
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:30
its gotta be the whole new album plus a best of. you have truly surpassed on this one dudes rock on x x
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:30
Depends on how long you fellers are planning to play at the gigs. If it’s a wholesome 90 mins then yeah, Chutzpah followed by a classics/best of set.
p
However, I insist you play Borderline, Pissjoy, Rooting For The Bad Guy & Cheers in that lot
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:32
it doesn’t matter what you play – just come back the St. Louis, Missouri!!!!!!!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:34
Option A
please also play fire up, + just in lust with all b sides (‘mindslide’ friend for 5 mins etc) + hate the world day and I will die happy.
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:38
i think its got to be !chutzpah! all the way.it’s such a strong album. and to wash that down, set 2 could be set list of songs that don’t get played live, this would make a wildhearts show very different instead of seeing the same songs played every tour
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:38
As long as 29x the pain and Suckerpunch are played, i’ll be a happy man! The Jackson Whites is the best tune off Chutzpah IMHO, awesome straight away, on the first listen! which is rare for me. So option A i would say…..
I’ve heard that some festival appearences might be on the cards next year, so i’ll get my classic Wildhearts fix then!
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:40
Option B!
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:45
Play Endless Nameless in it’s entirety then Chutzpa then some Classics including ‘Kiss My Arse Before You Say Goodbye’
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:58
Option A, definitely.
September 2nd, 2009 at 22:59
I’d love to hear all the new album but not in the same order, mix it up with the classics and some rarites.
But 1 hour and 30 minutes of whatever you play will still be quality no matter what.
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:02
CHUTZPA!!! Go on!!! Why the hell not. We’ll all be listening to it non stop until the gigs anyway. I am in glasgow so it’ll be great to get the whole album, nice and fresh. I would suggest, Maybe 2 Chutzpa songs, then a classic, then 2 chutzpa songs, get where i am going here!! haha. great album.
Cheers
Stevie.
I Chutzpa’d yer maw!
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:04
Play chutzpah!, but id also love to hear full length sky babies, two idiot mirror, The miles away girl , Fire up. Also, Love till i dont as a set closer (old skool!) would be friggin awesome!!!!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:07
All of Chutzpah!, please, and there should still be plenty of time left over to rock out to Headfuck et al!
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:11
I would go for a good few from Chutzpah! but keep most of the classics and maybe a few unexpected ones! Having head The Jackson Whites at sonisphere I can safely say you should stick that one on the setlist, along with The Only One. They’re the must haves
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:11
Chutzpah in it entirety, plus Zeen Requiem – Sweetest song – The Hard Way – Carmelita -Schizophonic – Sky Babies – Moodswing And Roundabouts – Cant do right for doing wrong – Heroin … Can live without anything from earth vs..as was at the anniversary gig! See you in London next month.
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:12
If you come to Sweden again (Pleeeease):
The Jackson Whites
HAte the World Day
John Of Violence
Now is the Colour
You Are Proof That Not All Women Are Insane
Inglorious
Tim Smith

Low Energy Vortex
You Took The Sunshine From New York
Mazel Tov Cocktail
Weekend
Bi-Polar Baby
Just in Lust
V-Day
Nothing ever changes
Girlfriends Clothes
Beautyful me, Beautyful you
S.I.N.
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:14
B! Mix of old and new! Mix of old and new!
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:18
More option a than b! (how’s that for sitting on the fence!) play 7 or 8 off chutzpah and a mix of old stuff, some classics and some more obscure. Oh and drop vanilla radio! Can’t wait for rock city!!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:25
I would have to go for the classics! Maybe half and half – how about some of the older tracks that don;t get played often? Loveshit has always been a personal fave and Weekend!!
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:26
Ummmm…. I’m totslly in the option B camp. I know this message board is full of die hards who have already got into the new album but many, many people at the shows won’t have.
And in fact I wouldn’t want to hear any of the albums in their entireity – I would much prefer a selection and a mix to keep all the fans happy.
Whatver you think of the new album I’m pretty sure the oldies/ better known will go down the best with the crowd as a whole – plus and there is so much from the eponymous album we’ve never heard live either.
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:27
I like the idea of playing each album track but mixing them up into the set list, therapy? did this at recent gigs and looking at the set lists it was a great idea they managed to play a few of the songs they always play too whilst giving some of them a rest and also managed to throw in an old bside and mini album track
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:29
A A A A A A A!!! Play Chutzpah when you come back to NYC soon please! I’ll be there with bells on.
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:38
B definitely
September 2nd, 2009 at 23:53
Do all of Chutzpah! (+!) Celebrate that album.
I mean, c’mon, if you don’t do it *now*, you’ve got to wait 15 years for the anniversary gig to do it.
But don’t play it in the album sequence, and mix in old favourites – by which I preferably mean a few hits and rarely aired tracks like Friend For Five Minutes, Hate The World Day or Be My Drug.
But if it all goes wrong and it’s just Chutzpah! cuts, Jebus, Vortex, You Are Proof, Mazel Tov and Chutzpah ARE mandatory. I’ll be coming over from Germany and for my tastes each new song would make the trip more worthwhile.
September 3rd, 2009 at 00:00
Hey Scott
You guys have to play the whole of Chutzpah with some oldies thrown in especially when you come to Portsmouth on the 21st, youve gotta play CAPRICE, Whoah Shit And Everlone For The Win
September 3rd, 2009 at 00:05
A!
I wanna hear new sounds of THE WiLDHEARTS.
September 3rd, 2009 at 00:32
Opition A without a doubt!
The “mix of old and new” is done every tour by every band, mainly because so many bands rely so much on nostalgia and their newest record just isn’t good enough to play straight through.
This being a case of neither of those, you have to go with A.
September 3rd, 2009 at 00:38
The whole of the incredible Chutzpah and some classis ( have you got all night). i think that is A then.
September 3rd, 2009 at 00:39
think you have time to play all of Chutzpah! ) mixed with what ever you like (*cough* 29x)but hell do what you want i’m sure it will be super! ill be the drunk dude at the back!
September 3rd, 2009 at 00:46
??
It looks forward to the visit to Japan.
September 3rd, 2009 at 00:46
A
September 3rd, 2009 at 00:55
Play the whole damn thing. Its a no brainer. I have to hear those songs live. All of em. ALL OF THEM.
September 3rd, 2009 at 01:13
I’d play maybe 4-5 new songs and the rest a best of the back catalogue-there’s too much good stuff to discount.Great new album but I have selfish reasons-it’ll be the first time seeing the band live and I’d wanna hear a whole range of stuff!option b please.
September 3rd, 2009 at 01:26
A for sure! Been a huge fan for about 17 years, Ginger is the best songwriter ever to walk the earth… but even I was surprised at just how tight and fresh the new record sounds, and I’ll be getting into Sorry & the Sinatras after hearing Scott’s vocal on The Only One, so full of soul.
Please play all of Chutzpah, but not in order, mix in the oldies so we don’t know what’s coming next. And if you happen to feel like playing Do The Channel Bop in Glasgow you’d be fulfilling a 14 year ambition for me… Oh! ASK SCOTT TO SING ‘ANTHEM’ LIVE!!! Now THAT would be amazing…
September 3rd, 2009 at 01:37
Gotta be option A…
On the condition you open with Chutzpah Jnr. I heard a clip of it the other day and it would easily be the best gig opening ever (alongside the competition intro thing)!
September 3rd, 2009 at 01:37
CHUTZPAH! in it’s entirety and then old classic, chuck something form every album on to fuck em up… you guys gotta come to Australia again, made my life that show in Sydney.
September 3rd, 2009 at 02:29
Nexus Icon
Only
Vanilla Radio
One Love, One Life, One Girl
So Into Yo
Top Of The World
or the whole The Wildhearts Must Be Destroyed CD
plus, some new stuff mixed with some other favorites.
September 3rd, 2009 at 02:29
Please mix in some more classic tracks if you come to Australia, we haven’t had all the chances to hear the old stuff that the UK has!
September 3rd, 2009 at 02:58
B! A’d be good like, but would really miss the live classics. Definitely need my fix of Destroy All Monsters, Caprice, Rooting For The Bad Guy and Caffeine Bomb in there somewhere.
September 3rd, 2009 at 03:10
its my first taste of the wilhearts and i wanna hear more! play plenty of classics with the livelier chutzpah songs and everybody’s happy. just make sure ya tour again soon and play anything ya missed!
September 3rd, 2009 at 03:12
!Chutzpah! in it entirety and some classic endless nameless stuff like ‘pissjoy’ and ‘now is the colour’ along with ‘better than cable’ ‘looking for the one’ and ‘slaughtered authors’ would be insanely good!
September 3rd, 2009 at 03:15
Guys its got to be “A”
Play this fantastic new album in it’s entirety.
It’s a new era for the band.
dont get me wrong I love everything from “don’t be happy…just worry” to “Stop us….” but this new album is fantastic.
As long as the changeovers are reasonably quick theres plenty of time for the whole of the new album and loads of the old classics.
give us “hate the world day” “urge” “abhoria” “caprice” “be my drug” amongst the classics section.
why not do the show in two parts like the manics did, play the whole of the new album then come back on and play the classics.
cheers
MACiNNES X
September 3rd, 2009 at 03:29
Go for A! I still haven’t worked out what are my fave tracks on the new album, I just keep listening to it in one full go every time!
September 3rd, 2009 at 04:53
Do whatever you want guys, you rule! But please, come over to South America!
September 3rd, 2009 at 06:14
I vote for a B, and a special request for If Life Is Like A Lovebank I Want An Overdraft!
September 3rd, 2009 at 06:31
I don’t care what you guys play, as long as you play it in the states (boston, please)
September 3rd, 2009 at 06:37
I’d prefer Option A, too. At least for the UK gigs…
First part of the show should be Chutzpah from the beginning to the end – it was a great experience when you did that with the ‘Earth vs.’ last year!
In the second part – hey, it’s YOUR Gig, do whatever you want! I’m sure you’ll find a great mix of Classics and Rarities… But of course I’d die for a live ‘Sky Babies’
@ Soundog: I’ll also be coming over from Germany. Which gig will you see? I’ll be in Leeds.
September 3rd, 2009 at 07:22
Chutzpah in its Entirity Please…With Rooting For the Bad Guy afterwards..Pretty Please in Manchester….Id be soooo Happy….Whatever you Play it will Tear the Roof Off
September 3rd, 2009 at 07:31
Guys,
The new album is absolutely amazing, screaming to be played live. There’s no point in touring for an album if you’re not going to play new stuff, so it’s gotta be option A. As for what else to play on the tour, it’d be fantastic to hear some of the less-played tunes (Slaughtered Authors, Two-Way Idiot Mirror, etc.) but obviously you’re not going to be able to play for about nine hours, so the classics have also got to be in there. Personally, as long as I hear the new album live, I’m pretty much OK with whatever you play, having seen you shit-loads of times. (More of the eponymous album please.) Catch you on the 19th at Rock City.
Take care and have fun. It’s what life’s for.
Cliff
September 3rd, 2009 at 07:40
Great new album,but it would be good to hear The Hard Way,Bi Polar and The Revolution + some of the oldies mixed in there too.
Cheers see you in Brighton
September 3rd, 2009 at 07:48
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
You have to do new album in full. Isn’t that the point of recording new material. I love the classics but we’ve heard ‘My baby is…… a million times and I’m sure you’re a bit sick of playing it too. In order to stay relevant and fresh you need to play the album. Are you not dying to play a set of almost all new material??
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
September 3rd, 2009 at 07:52
I was thinking about this only yesterday.
I’d like to hear the new album cos its amazing – but then start mixing up the songs similar to Gingers 40th gig where one song merges into another entirley, i think it was Headfuck became Brown Sugar(rolling stones) and then back again. It would bring a fresh sound to old songs. Even if they are classics we’ve heard them a million times.
Also play a tune or two off ENDLESS NAMELESS!
September 3rd, 2009 at 08:00
how about you play nothing from Chutzpah as its awful
whats happened to you guys?
where are all the good songs?
September 3rd, 2009 at 08:04
play just b-sides
September 3rd, 2009 at 08:33
The new album is super shit hot!! You should play all of it with a few classics tagged on the end!!! Cheers, Lee
September 3rd, 2009 at 08:56
@Seb – I was looking into Leeds but London is more likely now, better connection, cheaper flight and all. You on the GATSC board? I’m Soundog on there to, drop me a PM if you like.
September 3rd, 2009 at 08:57
P.S.: Vote over in favour of option A for sure now, eh?
September 3rd, 2009 at 08:59
I definitely go for option A too! The new album is just too good to start discriminating songs and chosing others to play live! Just play them all together with some of the good oldies! jep!
September 3rd, 2009 at 09:20
Definately play Chutzpah in its entirety. Plus a few choice cuts from “The Wildhearts” and I never got bored hearing 29x the pain.
September 3rd, 2009 at 09:24
hmmm, hows about the new album, and then songs we dont hear live often, vday, everlone etc and you HAVE to play understanding jane! cant wait to see you chaps in bristol!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 09:38
I think option B. Whilst I love the new album there is nothing like hearing some classic tracks played live. Additionally many people at the shows will not have got the new album yet and will not know the tunes.
September 3rd, 2009 at 09:38
Option A please – why not make it the full Japanese version plus The Snake, The Lion, The Monkey And The Spider.
Also – News Of THe World, Show a Little Emotion, Anthem – Scott vocals, Just In Lust, V Day, Inglorious, Red Light Green Light, Unbroken, 29X the Pain, Love You Til I don’t, and I never get bored of hearing Everlone live.
You could just stand there and make fart noises, no doubt you could make it sound catchy.
See you at Newcastle and Manchester.
September 3rd, 2009 at 09:39
Fuckin A!
Other requests:
Weekend
Nothing Ever Changes
There’s Only One Hell
Stormy
Mindslide
September 3rd, 2009 at 09:42
I also love the request for Must Be Destroyed in it’s entirety
September 3rd, 2009 at 09:43
oh the whole of Chutzpah! would be rather tasty
as for the rest of the set……you guys decide..surprise us
cant wait for the bloody tour now
Wez
September 3rd, 2009 at 09:48
Please don’t play any covers, there are enough excellent WH tunes that we don’t get to see without there being any requirement to pad the set out with other people’s songs.
I think about 7 from Chutzpah would be about right, but since it’s a short album the whole lot would still leave plenty of time for a significant slice of the old favourites.
September 3rd, 2009 at 09:56

September 3rd, 2009 at 09:58
Absolutely definitely no question option a Chutzpah! in its entirety – its bloody brilliant
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:15
gotta be option a!! then throw in some classics like cant do right for doing wrong,get ya groove on,soundog babylon,two way idiot mirror,the hard way,sweetest song,and like some of the others have said anthem with scott on vocals!! see u in shepherds bush at the soundcheck,cant fuckin wait!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:35
I think you should play bits of the new album. Start off with The Jackson Whites…amazing song!!! Also Low Energy Vortex, Mazel Tov Cocktail and the title track. Oldies then…Do the Channel Bop would be awesome!! Rooting for the Bad Guys would be good too. Also Unbroken is truly great and then just the old school stuff. Cant wait for the live dates!!!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:38
Or just play the whole of Endless Nameless…possibly the best album in the world ever!!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 10:56

September 3rd, 2009 at 11:03
Definately play Chutzpah in its entirety.
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:08
the new live will be cool plus some classic nothing ever changes, show a little emotion!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:12
Haven’t bought the new album yet but I’m looking forward to it.
I think as a few people have suggested play the new album but not in album order, play a new song song then classic then new song. Or New, new, classic, new, classic, new, new. Mix it up a bit to keep everyone happy.
Some people may get a bit bored just listening to the new album especially if people haven’t purchased it yet.
May look into doing a couple of the gigs. Rock city on the 19th is pretty much certain though.
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:14
Play a bit of both, It will be amazing if you can do some Earth vs track, They are classics and need to heard live!
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:16
I have been a fan since 1994 and Deadly has got the perfect set list in my opinion but im normally wrong lol!
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:23
its gotta be B for me.
i dont care how good you think the new album is, its still never gonna be a patch on the genius of dont be happy, earth v’s, phuq and fishing.
if i’m being honest the new album sounds good, but a little too “now” from the sound and production rather than being a ballsy proper “sod the production” sound of old
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:28
Hmm its a dilemma I’m normally against playing an entire new album (due to boring people)in full when it so new to the public but they are two factors working for the band a)the running time & b) the fact Wildhearts fans are so loyal you can guarantee come the tour most of the songs will be known.
Depending the amount of stage time if its say 90 minutes there is still plenty of time so play old favourites & include some of the longer material “Rooting For The Bad Guy” “Caprice” “OCD” “Everlone” etc but if its only a 60 minute slot with 20 minutes or so left to play all the quick(er) numbers “Vanilla Radio” “Suckerpunch” “Someone That Wont Let Me Go” “Top of The World” etc would keep most people happy.
What would piss me off is an entire new album & too many longer songs, the balance has to be right.
The idea I think will work to get exposure for the new material, I don’t think TV (well in the UK)will be knocking on the door anytime soon take the same set list to Japan (maybe rotate the odd hit just to keep it fresh for the band)
If possible keep the balling rolling for some European dates next Spring & maybe some festival dates next summer & then all the hard work will have paid off.
The Beatles said of Sgt Pepper “the record can go on tour for us” after Elvis sent a car around the USA pretending to be him a few years previous.
Well I think take the album on tour & play the bloody thing so people can’t escape it
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:49
DEFINITELY option A please! Have been coming to see you guys since 1995 and, while you always m,anage to play a great combination of new/old/classic/rarities, Chutzpah is SUCH a great album all the way through that it would be AMAZING to herar it all the way through! Of course, if you INSIST on then playing ‘Inglorious’ after that, you’d be more than welcome to!
)
September 3rd, 2009 at 11:57
Another vote for A please. Play the whole album. Definitely.
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:11
A. Definitely. Loving the new album; metal haunted by the ghost of The Cars.
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:22
Haven’t heard the new album yet. Waiting for, until the CD arrives home. But anyway let´s do A!
I heard “The Jackson Whites” (the day after Jacko passed away :S ) at Peace&Love festival in Sweden, and really enjoyed it. And can´t wait to attend to the London gig.
PS: Hey Ginger, remember the Cheap Trick cap that someone threw in that concert at Sweden? That “someone” was me, hahaha, It was a pity I couldn´t get it back, because there was a funny story about it and Nikki Sixx, but anyway, enjoy it man (can use it both summer & winter)!
Cheers from the Basque Country (Spain)
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:25
A is the option!
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:52
All the new album but not in a row, mixed with older stuff for sing along aspect, an how about ‘two way idiot mirror’ thrown in fer good measure!
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:54
I would prefer a mix of tunes, maybe 5 new tracks and the older gems
But while on the subject, Slaughtered Authors HAS to be there, one of the greatest songs ever written.
September 3rd, 2009 at 12:57
Absolutely play the album in full, it’s a stormer, i don’t care if it’s in a row or not, but please play it all, i only have one problem with the album, it’s too fucking short, see ya in Exeter!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 13:05
Play the whole thing, like the dude up there says it’s only 30-40 minutes. Leave “Everlone” at home, but feel free to bring Nita Nitro and Just in Lust!
September 3rd, 2009 at 13:15
the new album sounds amazing so play tha whole album
and put in some classics! BUT please play some songs from you´re latest aswell cause that kicked ass too! sweetest song and rooting for the bad guy hehe.
Hope to see you in sweden and gothenburg!
September 3rd, 2009 at 13:32
I hope everyone thats commenting on this has already bought the new album.
there seems to be more written here than the section where we’ve been reviewing the album.
as i said before its got to be “A”!!!!
MACiNNES X
September 3rd, 2009 at 13:44
It’s got to be A.
September 3rd, 2009 at 13:50
AAAAA! Absolutely A!
However, even if everything is performed, time remains. So You have to play (in Japan) from ‘The WiLDHEARTS’ a lot. Because you had not come to Japan when this album released. A lots of Japanese fans have not seen these at live gig. Unbelievable!
Anyway, I pray for the success of UK tour!
September 3rd, 2009 at 14:19
K well for me its gotta B. !!! Plz
)))). I need some of those classics X
September 3rd, 2009 at 14:29
Without question.the new album,needs to be played in full,it is awesome,I was really looking forward to the Newcastle gig,but now I can’t wait,bring it on.
Top marks lads
September 3rd, 2009 at 14:30
A. it’s your new album you have to play it.
:)- you learn things when you read my postes..):):D
but for me you gotta also play ‘ingloroius’ and ‘liberty cap’.. not forgeting slaughtered authors and rooting for the bad guy
September 3rd, 2009 at 14:36
A. Play all of Chutzpah (then play it again). I’d love to hear one of the following live as part of the classics bit:
- Hate The World Day or
- Be My Drug or
- Schizophonic
Cheers!
September 3rd, 2009 at 14:43
Option A: New album please plus Show a Little Emotion, Just in Lust, Nurse Maximum, Red Light Green Light and News of the World. Oh, and Sky Babies.
September 3rd, 2009 at 15:05
Mix of new and old classics, please?
The new album is amazing!
I would really appreciate if you could play ‘Just In Lust’ or `News Of The World’.
Take care and see you in Tokyo!
September 3rd, 2009 at 15:06
Mix of new and old classics, please!
The new album is amazing!

The Whole Chutzpah!
+
Nothing ever changes
Loveshit
Caffeine bomb
Getting it
Sky babies
Nurse maximum
Let’s go
There’s only one hell
Rooting for the new guy
Understanding Jane
September 3rd, 2009 at 15:08
Option A, without a doubt.
September 3rd, 2009 at 15:11
Please play ‘You are proof that not all woman are insane’, at The Pheonix in exeter. its my favourite song of the new record! (Also, if you remember, can you dedicate it to my brother ‘gavin yeoman’, since its his birthday. I have bought him tickets to see you, hiss all time favourite band!)..
….Kieron Yeoman….x..
September 3rd, 2009 at 15:56
Dan Phillips: Is that your real name? Sounds made up to me. You’re an angry man, has someone stolen your spoons? Think you need to go get a massage to calm down – but not a sexy massage from thailand, from a Norwegian rugby player called Thor so you can think about what you’ve done while your balls are being pummelled by a man with fingers the size of courgettes. I’m a meanyhead? I’ll see you round the back of the bike sheds pal…bring some smokes…and a plaster in case one of us gets a papercut…
September 3rd, 2009 at 16:06
A, definitely!!!
Could one of the classics be Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes, please?!
September 3rd, 2009 at 16:29
Play what the fuck you like – its your gig! (Would be good if you sneaked in Loveshit and beautiful thing you tho!!!!!!)
September 3rd, 2009 at 16:36
Option B – personally, i think its better if everyone can sing along!! not everyone’s heard the new stuff yet!
September 3rd, 2009 at 17:12
Play the whole of the new album followed by the “Best Of”. In my opinion if a songs good enough to be on a record then it’s good enough to be played live. What is the point of spending time writing and recording a song never to play it again once you’ve left the studio? Obviously on the next Wildhearts tour the band will play the tracks from Chutzpah! that have become band and crowd pleasers. As already pointed out the album is just over half an hour long, not including the Japanese bonus tracks, so if the band play for ninety minutes there is plenty of time to do both.
I’m seeing them on their first date and last so it’ll be interesting to see how much, if at all, the set changes.
September 3rd, 2009 at 18:16
If you’re up for it why not dispense with the support band and do 2 sets. Set A – the new album. Interval – so you can get your breath back! Set B – the classics (singalongawildhearts).
Simple.
September 3rd, 2009 at 18:19
Alright lads first like to say Chutzpah is great but then again so was the last album. i think you should defo play Chutzpah in its entirety. With a mix of songs of the last and earlier albums. Please include
Bipolar,
The sweetest song
slaughtered authors
love shit
greetings from shitsville
love u till i don’t
vanilla radio
The rest is up to you lads i just ask one thing make it a long rockin set as im sure you will.
Don’t let some fans keep you in the past all your material is great and gettin better, and i think we all know you lads want to play the new stuff and tired of constantly playin the old, the new studff is great get it out there and the ones stuck in the past will sone catch on
September 3rd, 2009 at 18:27
Option B. The album is really amazing, but considering it will be my first WH gig (I´m from Argentina), this time I prefer the oldies! BEst
September 3rd, 2009 at 18:39
play the whole of the album and as long as you play
everlone
29 x the pain
then that will do me plus theres gotta be plenty more touring in the little band know as the wildhearts for us to look forward to alternativlly a two and half hour set sounds good
September 3rd, 2009 at 18:43
option A.
would love to hear the whole album in full then a “classics” set (it worked great for the manics a couple of months ago).
oh and maybe weekend, news of the world, inglorious, getting it, the new flesh and schitzophonic.
ta muchly
cya in brum.
September 3rd, 2009 at 18:49
Every wildies gig is great, and ive been to a good few, but i would self combust if Cant do right for doing wrong is in there. I cant remember hearing it live, and also Be my friend for 5 mins, another golden oldie.
September 3rd, 2009 at 19:03
I think go for option B guys, I do like the new album alot but I havent seen you guys for years and would love some of the old classics played, also as someone else mentioned I love not knowing what song is coming next at a gig. whateva happens Im sure it will be great. much love : )
September 3rd, 2009 at 19:10
I would go for option A. It would be great to hear how all the new songs will sound live. Also the album is short and sweet, so the fans who are not keen to hear the full album will not have to wait long for the classics.
September 3rd, 2009 at 19:32
Definatley option A.
Chutzpah needs a full live battering, along with a few choice cuts from the past which must include ‘destroy all monsters’.
Dx
September 3rd, 2009 at 19:57
Option A – we’ve all heard the older songs live before, we need to see the new stuff!
September 3rd, 2009 at 20:11
A – definitely. What a blinding album!
September 3rd, 2009 at 20:31
Without a doubt Option A!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 20:45
The fact you guys are giving us this choice is truly awesome.
Play it all man, play everything!
September 3rd, 2009 at 20:46
CHUTZPAH – LIVE & LOUD
It’s got to be option ‘A’, without question! I can only imagine you Guys have put a tremendous amount of work into ‘CHUTZPAH’. So let your dedicated fans both old and new hear the tracks
“LOUD & LIVE” like all ‘Great Music’ written and played by Great Musicians like you, should be heared.
ADDITION TRACKS, How about one from every Album (not possible time permitting)
Vanilla Radio
Bi-Polar Baby
Love U til I Don’t
V-Day
The People That Life Forgot
Sick of Drugs
Abhoria
Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes
September 3rd, 2009 at 20:47
Option A please.
September 3rd, 2009 at 20:50
Bet you wish you’d never fucking asked…….
September 3rd, 2009 at 20:51
def play the new album it would be so cool its new you should be proud of it there aint no filler .scott your cool as dude its like you have always been in the wildhearts !
September 3rd, 2009 at 21:01
I’ve got to say, I’m really chuffed the feedback we’re getting here! It’s nice to see all you lovely people up for the tour!
September 3rd, 2009 at 21:16
hey scotty come to Chile and bring along the Sinatras!
September 3rd, 2009 at 21:20
Nothing Ever Changes But the Shoes + Weekend (5 Long Days) + TV Tan + My Baby Is a Headfuck + 29x the Pain + Sick of Drugs + Shut Your Fucking Mouth And Use Your Fuckig Brain + Two-Way Idiot Mirror + Geordie in Wonderland + I Wanna Go Where the People Go + Just in Lust + Anthem + Vanilla Radio + There’s Only One Hell + Rooting for the Bad Guy + The Sweetest Song + Understanding Jane + Carmelita + entire Chutzpah! = The best gig in history of people!
September 3rd, 2009 at 21:23
Guys, you are amazing live as everyone knows or will soon find out. Personally I have to say C which is a mix of A+B. Nina Nitro opening up makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck! Then you play some boyzone covers for all I care I would be ready to listen to you!!!!
P.S Everytime you play I wanna go, the crowd goes mental, please dont leave that classic out.
See you in London.
September 3rd, 2009 at 21:50
Go for playing the whole of Chutzpah! and then a few oldies (Must include: Nita Nitro, Shitsville, Vanilla Radio, Inglorious)
See you in Bristol on the 18th, can’t wait!!
September 3rd, 2009 at 22:52
How’s about a Chutzpah medley? All the best riffs and choruses, etc, from every song strung together in a 15-20 minute mash-fest, followed by plenty much “classics”.
I say classics, but in that I include a lot from the last album too. Would be a good taster for those who haven’t got the new album yet, and also for those that have but have never heard any of the older stuff.
Anyway, no matter what you do, I know from past experience noone ever leaves a Wildhearts gig disappointed!
September 3rd, 2009 at 23:06
This will be my first Wildhearts gig, so I’m personally hoping for option B. Looks unlikely though.
September 3rd, 2009 at 23:10
I say option A. Chutzpah! is amazing and I haven’t stopped listening to it since it’s release. As much as I love all WH material, I’m looking forward to hearing the new songs live, especially ‘The Jackson Whites’. My only other request is for you guys to play ‘Slaughtered Authors’ and ’29 x The Pain’ and I’ll be one happy bunny!
Hugs
September 3rd, 2009 at 23:25
Jeez, it’s tough really..
..but I think ‘A’ probably is the better option, as:
1- The album is phenominal
2- If the songs that people wanna hear don’t get played, there’s always next time (and let’s face it, it’s a Wildhearts show.. there’s always songs we ‘would have liked to hear’).
3- It’s a great way to find which songs work best live for future performances
September 3rd, 2009 at 23:57
…oh, and if I may once more interject – any plans to have any of the dates filmed for DVD or anything? A live Chutzpah DVD with a few classics for bonus material would be superb!
September 4th, 2009 at 00:01
Can I request, without much hope of success, Channel Bop? Never heard it live but up in my top 1,000,000 favourite Wildhearts songs…
September 4th, 2009 at 00:19
Rooting for the Bad Guy please, I’m a tragically sad Doctor Who geek (although somewhat redeemed (I hope) by my love of the Wildhearts) and I just love the Cybermen reference
September 4th, 2009 at 02:51
option A
But option B is a dream to
September 4th, 2009 at 02:54
Scott u rock I saw u with Brides in NYC at the Continental…when they still had live music.
Can’t wait for tour dates in the US
September 4th, 2009 at 03:28
just got the album after a very slow delivery off play and it is the best yet. i say maybe play some classics first and finish with the whole album mixed up or not.
September 4th, 2009 at 07:12
Cutzpah! In its entirety (Different to album running order) and scattered amongs some rarer tracks and covers including…
The People That Life Forgot
Bang!
Only One Hell
Song Formerly Known As
Borderline
Return to Zero
Hit It On the Head
You Get To Get Through What You’ve Got Through To Go Through
Eager To Leave Her
World Comes Tumblin’
Rocket 69
The Judge
Understanding Jane
WOW!!! I SOOOOOO CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS TOUR!!!
September 4th, 2009 at 08:16
Option a -The new album is too damn short so in a long set you’d easily fit the whole album.
Have been a fan since ’95 but haven’t seen you play live for a few years so although I’d love to here the tracks off the last two or three albums live I’m with most on here saying play the whole damn album and then mix it up(or do a 2nd set)with older stuff like one from each album -your call ‘cos your just so damn good at choosing setlists(not been disappointed in any gig I’ve seen).
See you in Exeter,glad you finally made it to westcountry.
September 4th, 2009 at 09:15
I vote for A!!!
See you in Nottingham!! All the way from Barcelona!
September 4th, 2009 at 09:24
Aye the whole of the new album plus some stuff from Endless Nameless and P.H.U.Q. As I feel the albums have a similar feel.
September 4th, 2009 at 10:13
Play the whole damn new album, else why did you record it? Sounds awesome, done live it should be even better!
And since you’re playing on a Friday night in Bristol, how about a bit of Weekend ’96? Pretty please?
September 4th, 2009 at 10:31
Play A, and follow it up with some rare stuff, especially some of the more recent B’ sides, like oh Bonita would be cool. Or even mix in a few SilverGinger 5 tracks if that’s not too freaky… Would love to hear ‘Last Bastard In Heaven’ ‘Girls are Better Than Boys’ and more, just given the new (and Best?) Wildhearts line up kickin’…
September 4th, 2009 at 10:31
Oh, and you MUST play 29 x The Pain reguardless

danphillipsisatitdanphillipsisatit
September 4th, 2009 at 10:56
Option B definately!!
Gotta gotta gotta hear headfuck/lovebank/suckerpunch
But a decent work out of some choice Chtzpah trax mixed in would be ace!!!!!
September 4th, 2009 at 11:00
Option B
Dont forget, these comments are from a small cross section of your fan base.
A lot of people will be coming to these gigs for a rip roaring wildhearts best of set, with a few chutzpah tracks to introduce the new album, prior to touring it in its entirity next time!!!
September 4th, 2009 at 11:03
Option A – all of chutzpah!…. including The Snake, The Lion, The Monkey and The Spider!
From some of the older stuff wouldn’t mind hearing things like why you lie, nurse maximum shut your fucking mouth…., crying over nothing, loveshit, news of the world, bi-polar baby, the hard way, naivety play
Actually, could you just play a 3 hour set!?
September 4th, 2009 at 11:28
Option A is the best choice, the best way to tell if you like an album is too here it live However, because u would still have like 40 mins or more left u should go through some classic B sides like Hate the world day, Fire up, Underkill, Dangerlust and some shit off ‘The Wildhearts’ as that album is class
September 4th, 2009 at 11:53
A! All the way! (Those saying B are part-timers, they probably wont be at the gig anyway!)
September 4th, 2009 at 12:29
A tricky choice – there is so much to choose from – Love both Chutzpah and The Wildhearts LPs so a fair chunk of these along with perhaps Bi Polar Baby and Why You Lie if possible.
My kids are coming too for the first time and they would love to hear some of the older stuff – the ones that made ‘em hop around the front room with big cheesy grins when they were toddlers- just like Ginger on stage really….

September 4th, 2009 at 13:29
Chutzpah! in full is a must, just as long as you also play Splattermania – what a tune, not heard often enough!
September 4th, 2009 at 14:19
Option A for sure – it’s a blinding album, and short enough to leave time for enough classics to keep us all happy.
(Not enough people have mentioned Nothing Ever Changes, Loveshit, Stormy In The North or Bi-Polar Baby yet, so I’ll just throw those in there just in case you’re short of ideas by the time you get to Norwich, but then, I can’t think of a song I wouldn’t like to hear you play!)
September 4th, 2009 at 15:14
Option B, please Option B!
I haven’t heard the new album yet (still waiting for my delivery), and I’m sure it amazing. BUt it’s been over a year since I’ve seen you guys and it’d be just amazing to hear some of the classics again.
Plus I’m bringing half a dozen people with me who’ve not seen you before. It would be a shame to deprive them of the chance to hear the material I’ve been playing them over the last few months.
September 4th, 2009 at 15:32
B. The new album is amazing and several (if not most) tracks should definitely should get an airing, but at a gig I’d rather hear/dance to more old/fan favourites than new material.
September 4th, 2009 at 15:35
option A, 100%
followed by a bunch of tracks from Endless, Nameless.
I doubt the latter part will happen lol
September 4th, 2009 at 15:56
Option B please.
I am not a fan of entire albums being played at gigs, especially not when there is such a rich and voluminous back catalogue to choose from.
I have a feeling a few people are getting just a wee bit carried away after listening to the new album. Yes, it rocks, but I would be quite content to hear 4 or 5 songs off the new album mixed in with some of the old faves, and maybe some surprises from the back catalogue as well.
September 4th, 2009 at 16:25
Play Chutzpah for sure
Play love you till I don’t aswell…
September 4th, 2009 at 17:43
You must play inglorious!
September 4th, 2009 at 17:56
My head tells me to go for option A, but my heart tells me to go for the entire pHuq album.
However, and because Chutzpah is more a catchy pop album, please chose other loud classics to go along…and play the Chutzpah! chorus at least a third and a fourth time after its tremendous break !
September 4th, 2009 at 18:02
Option A for me, thankya very much!
In fact, “skychaser” (post 92) there has pretty much got it sussed.
Especially the venue
September 4th, 2009 at 18:08
Option A. Skychasers setlist would be absolutely awesome
September 4th, 2009 at 18:45
You gotta open with The Jackson Whites. Other than that id like to hear Two Way Idiot Mirror. Chutzpah totally rocks its the best think ive heard for ages, but im biased.
September 4th, 2009 at 18:50
Chutzpah in full!
September 4th, 2009 at 19:13
On second thought, a great idea would be playing just one song over and over again during the entire set (I’n thinking about “be my drugs”, or “Motorvate” with a very very low begining just to finish 90 minutes later)… or playing the entire new album of another band (the fothcoming Rammstein with of course the german lyrics).
In fact, for I live in France and having a 7 month old baby, there are few chances for me to see you on this tour, so feel free to forget my incredibly good advices (like sustaining the “caff-caff-caff-caff” in the chorus of “caffeine bomb” during one hour and a half).
September 4th, 2009 at 19:14
Chutzpah!
September 4th, 2009 at 19:33
PLAY THE WHOLE THING!!!
Then put a few choice cuts of the best stuff in! We’ve all heard Shitsville, Headfuck et al live loads of times, and all these new songs deserve airing!
September 4th, 2009 at 19:42
Gotta be the whole of Chutzpah! its awesome. No greatest hits please though, Im tired of always getting I wanna go, love u till I dont, vanilla radio, give us a treat and play some stuff you never play! thunderfuck, urge, inglorious, rooting for the bad guy, be my drug! Anything that you dont normally play as your songs are all classics!
September 4th, 2009 at 19:51
whos the support act for the tour????
September 4th, 2009 at 20:26
I’ll be in Leeds on my birthday and I would love to hear a lot of Chutzpah, 7 or so tracks. As plenty of people have said, there’s loads of stuff out there that you haven’t played live much recently. You could play loads of classics and faves without it being all the usual. Loveshit, 29x, Slaughtered Authors, Bad Time, Nothing Ever Changes for example. Howay! Bring it on!
September 4th, 2009 at 20:32
Option B – standard gig protocol. Would love to hear the cover of Rearrange You (will make sure and wear my Baby Chaos T-shirt in Glasgow!).
September 4th, 2009 at 21:28
Well………. I haven’t seen you guys live since 04 coz of being a Daddy, but have seen you tons before then and know the old stuff so I’d love to hear the new album in full and loads from ‘The Wildhearts’. If you play – Rooting For The Bad Guy, Bi-Polar Baby, Hate The World Day, and Inglorious I will be fookin’ happy!!
September 4th, 2009 at 21:43
A. Play Chutzpah! in its entirety alongside a handful of best of’s and old classics
Do want. I can’t think of many songs (not named “V Day” or “Just in Lust”) that I haven’t already heard live. The new stuff is more than strong enough to be played in its entirety!
September 4th, 2009 at 22:00
A is the best option, play all the new album Chutzpah in order. Have a pint then play a set of lesser known songs. ie And The Bullshit Goes On, Down On London etc etc. Have another pint or two. Then play Mondo and Don’t Be Happy EP’s in full. Have a few more beers and play PHUQ in all. Have more beer and the play Fishing in all. Then have even more beer and play Earth Vs in all. Then have a few beers and that’ll do.
September 4th, 2009 at 22:28
Ha ha. Do what John Sladden said (above me)
Honestly, just giving the album it’s first proper spin now and you have to do it all in sequence …..and then some hits!!
September 4th, 2009 at 22:37
Chutzpah in its entirety would be ace. I’m sure I will miss the show being in Texas but you never know.
The album is really, really good! Modernized WH for a new generation. Must Be Destroyed meets Endless Nameless meets Luckies was my first thought.
Sonically it’s the best sounding WH album, ever.
Congrats.
Cheers from Houston,
mt
September 5th, 2009 at 01:06
Option A please…. all the new stuff from Chutzpah (tho I have to request Mazel Tov Cocktail if you decide to just do the classics, as it IS a classic) though I would also love to hear Piss Joy live. What a treat that would be. See you in Glasgow. AP
September 5th, 2009 at 03:30
After finally getting my delivery of new album…it has to be option A. I’ve been a fan for 15 years…not missed a London show since 2001…yet with this album you guys have excelled yourselves…Roll on 1-10-09…p-s Sneak Unbroken and (in)S.I.N in the set….
September 5th, 2009 at 05:02
arf i cant but think this whole pole will only serve to confuse you more ^^ arf arf
September 5th, 2009 at 08:54
A A A and once more A
Caffine Bomb + Nita Nitro + One Life One Love One Girl + Skybabies
if any covers play Cheers
c u Notts + Leeds
ps don’t use CD Wow they suck!!!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:17
Chutzpah is mostly ace, especially Low Energy Vortex, which is terrific. I think you could play most of Chutzpah and it’d fit in perfectly intertwined with a few rarities (Girlfriend Clothes, Anthem/Urge, Splattermania, Oh Bonita, Sky Babies….)
September 5th, 2009 at 11:41
Option ‘a’ for me please.
We’ve had best of sets at every gig for a while (bar the anniversary) so bring it on. I feel the self titled wasn’t pushed hard enough at gigs as it was a strong album and I loved the long experimental stuff.
Perfect set would go thus:
All of Chutzpah!
Inglorious
Shitsville
I Wanna Go Where the People Go
Bi-Polar Baby
Do Anything
Be My Drug
Everlone
Nothing Ever Changes
Vanilla Radio
Sky Babies
News of the World
Nurse Maximum
Underkill
Understanding Jane
29x The Pain
Caprice
Love U til I Don’t
…pretty long show mind!
See you down the front, friends
September 5th, 2009 at 11:42
Play Chutzpah! in it’s entirity, along with The Snake, The Monkey, The Lion & The Spider, Unbroken and a few other rarely played gems. Please!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:43
I’m still waiting for my copy of Chutzpah! to drop through the letterbox but from what I’ve heard, you should definitely play that in its entirety. Another definite must is Borderline, as that’s one of my fave WH songs ever. You should also play Bi-Polar Baby, Cheers, Rooting For The Bad Guy, Slaughtered Authors, V-Day, Naivety Play and Inglorious as well! Please play Understanding Jane at Bristol and dedicate it to my wife!
)
September 5th, 2009 at 12:13
chutzpah! is definetly the best produced wildies album in my opinion. canna wait till 27th at the garage, must be about the 4th or 5th time theyve played there.
September 5th, 2009 at 12:19
The New album in full, alternating between new tracks and old, throughout the gig, and finally something special for the encore.
P.S. play for at least 2 hours.
P.P.S. got my glasgow garage tix today in the post
September 5th, 2009 at 12:33
Play all of Chutzpah + the following :-
“Getting It”
“Bad time to be having a bad time”
“Hate the world day”
“Anthem”
“Give the girl a gun”
September 5th, 2009 at 14:34
well i’d like option B, i know most people here have heard all those songs before live but ive never seen you guys before due to being too young until now and i know other people who are just getting into the wildhearts too who are going, so play some oldies for the newies? i love anthem, inglorious, my baby is a headfuck, news of the world, vanilla radio, girlfriend clothes, theres only one hell, just in lust, all american homeboy crowd, nita nitro, one love one life and aah loads more but those are favourites
either way i know you’ll be amazing, very excited!!!! x
September 5th, 2009 at 16:08
Option A. I’d love to hear every song off !Chutzpah!, although I’d happily hear them mixed with the old ones. Otherwise there’s a danger the second set may be a bit samey as the rest of your gigs for the past several years. Which are all great, but like you proved with the Earth Vs show, there’s you have so many great songs a crowd can enjoy that you don’t regularly play.
September 5th, 2009 at 17:17
Chutzpah followed by
I Wanna Go Where The People Go
Caffeine Bomb
The Only One
Sick Of Drugs
My Baby Is A Headfuck
Geordie In Wonderland
Love You ‘Til I Don’t
29 x The Pain
September 5th, 2009 at 17:19
It has to be option B.
The new album is absolutely great, ‘lovin it’, but I’d be a bit pissed off if I paid for a ticket and did get to hear some of my old favourites live again. With so many brilliant songs over the years, everyone will have their own favourites but you guys know the crowd pleasers so please ‘please the crowd’.
September 5th, 2009 at 17:26
Option A. Every song off of Chutzpah! They’re all great! It’s great! I’ve got it on repeat, loving the lyrics, vox, the big sound, it’s great to drive to, everything. I saw Ginger & The Sonic Circus at Nottingham Rescue Rooms after the release of the brilliant ‘Valor Del Corazon’ and if I remember correctly he played most of that album, Pump It Up, some crazy jamming with rapping and only 29x The Pain from The Wildhearts. It was a fantastic gig..Fresh and exciting (Like ‘Chutzpah!’)..And that was just Gingers thing, not The Wildhearts with the dead ace vocals on the new choruses. Option A at Stoke Sugarmill on the 25th cheers. It’s not a long album, so if a few fans don’t like it then make them wait. They might get it more when it’s played live anyway! It is the Chutzpah tour after all.
September 5th, 2009 at 18:00
Option B, my misses wants to go and she hasn’t heard the new album yet….nor have I for that matter, shame on me!!
BRING ON THE CLASSICS I SAY!!
September 5th, 2009 at 19:04
When I hear my favourite’s it makes the hairs on my neck stand up and fills me with euphoria and although Chutzpah is canny, hearing it in it’s entirety wont excite me as much as hearing a few choice cuts with the majority of the concert filled with classics. They’re not called classics for nothing!!
September 5th, 2009 at 19:06
I’m a girl so a best of set please! x
September 5th, 2009 at 19:13

September 5th, 2009 at 19:44
Option B please, play some of the new ones but let’s have the classics.
Rusty (also a Geordie)
September 5th, 2009 at 20:33
Option B would be great!
September 5th, 2009 at 22:53
You could do a Rolling Stones kinda’ thing, learn 60 songs and decide on the day of each show. So each show is unique. I reckon play 20 songs of whatever takes your fancy that night. Personally as I have said before, you could play this that and the other. Your never gonna’ please everyone, so an unexpected setlist is the best. New stuff, old stuff, hits, b-sides, mix it all up and it’ll be cool.
September 6th, 2009 at 09:19
Option A for me with a large set of oldies.
A bit like having a curry with rice, nan and chips-GREADY. Looking forward to Glasgow.
September 6th, 2009 at 10:02
Please play option A. Please come to the US – either Baltimore or Philadelphia and blow the f’n roof off the place. I like the idea of including rarely played songs and b-sides, although many Americans would be seeing you live for the first time, so they may disagree with my choice. I have had the great pleasure of seeing you guys live, and for me option A is a no brainer because it would be a once in a lifetime opportunity to hear this great album live in its entirety. I saw the great Iron Maiden perform their A Matter of Life and Death album live and was floored at how amazing it came off. Chutzpah needs to be heard live front to back. Played it for my wife and daughter and we all were blown away! Oh, did I mention, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE come back to the US. America is ready and NEEDS the WILDHEARTS. (Philly or Baltimore, please).
September 6th, 2009 at 11:18
I’ll take option B please, with The Jackson Whites chucked in somewhere. You can even open with it if you want
September 6th, 2009 at 11:22
Here’s my opinion for what it’s worth- play all of ‘chutzpah’, from start to finish, followed by a few ‘essential’ classics, and preferably some rarities too. You’ve such an extensive back catalogue that you really should be playing close to 2 hour sets nowadays anyhow.
I’ve seen you on every tour since 1994 plus festivals, support slots, secret gigs etc. I reckon the majority of the people at your gigs are like me too, so won’t mind missing a few of the same ones we hear every year anyway.
Any new audience members you do acquire on this tour will probably be into the new stuff anyway so would be presently surprised.
When Iron Maiden released their last album they went on tour and played the whole thing from start to finish, followed by just five old classics. They didn’t ask the fans, they just fucking did it cos they wanted to stay current and not just ride on their former glories.
As much as I love them, I’d hate for you to be like AC/DC and take the easy option.
The Wildhearts never take the easy option……
September 6th, 2009 at 11:54
CHUTZPAH is incredible – can’t wait to see the live performance of it (coming to pompey in sept!!) but would love some classics too!!! Miles Away Girl gets my vote for an oldie!!!
September 6th, 2009 at 14:24
play all of Chutzpah alternating each track with a wildhearts classic!
1. Jackson Whites
2. Nothing ever changes
3. plastic Jebus
4. Hate the world Day
5. john of violence
6. Miles away girl
7. news of the world

September 6th, 2009 at 15:45
Having got my japanese copy through my letterbox now, ive revised my vote. Option A still, but with the 4 extra tracks too. they are so ace!!! you just have to play chutzpah jnr as set opener anyway. It would be perfect. Been to Wildhearts gigs for 17 years now, and it would be awesome to see something different. If not tho, I’ll still have some rockin’ nites on this tour. That, I know, is guaranteed!
September 6th, 2009 at 16:31

Hey geezas. I love the new album!! wicked stuff, and can’t wait to see you guys live at Shepherds Bush. I’d love to hear a selection of new and old songs. That’d be magic!!
September 6th, 2009 at 18:18
If I’m perfectly honest, anything you guys will be fucking awesome. I love the new album, and if that’s what you want to play live, then that’s what you should do. Personall, I’d live to hear a lot of the new album, but not necesarily all of it. I’d love to hear some older stuff that doesn’t get played much too, and you must end with “love u til I don’t”, that is the best end of set song bar none. I’d love to see a set like this:
1. V Day (with the harmonics intro to the song on the end of the intro tape)
2. The Jackson Whites
3. Plastic Jebus
4. Splattermania
5. Rooting for the bad guy
6. Tim Smith
7. The Snake, The Lion, The Monkey, and The Spider

Option B please. Best of. Best of. Best of. Best of. Or face 6 angry lads from Bishvegas!!!
September 6th, 2009 at 18:30
Hmmm tough one best of set with choice cuts from Chatzpah is my fave option. Stunning album, but Earth Vs. and P.H.U.Q. are still the greatest ones and would hate to not see lots of stuff from them
)
September 6th, 2009 at 19:05
Reeeeaaally think you guys should play Cheers… I know its a long shot but goddamn that is a good song, I can’t stop listening to it
As for Chutzpah, as long as The Jackson Whites is in there I don’t care. Plus let’s face it, every Wildhearts song is totally awesome, so it doesn’t matter what you play. xD Roll on Bristol!
September 6th, 2009 at 20:12
A…..no B……no A
To be honest I don’t give a fuck whatever you play will be shit hot!
I’ve just spent ages trying to compile a dream setlist. But they all end up with you guys playing anywhere between 3 to 4 hours.
I don’t envy you the task of deciding.
The guy who said no covers is right though, more than enough ‘Hearts tunage to suffice.
September 6th, 2009 at 20:52
defo the classics with new stuff thrown in! I saw you guys play glasgow barrowlands in 1996, my first eva concert and it blew me away!
September 6th, 2009 at 22:26
Play Endless Nameless how it was recorded and then Geordie In Wonderland. Then play Destroyed, Earth Vs, PHUQ, Fishing for luckies, SIYHTOB, Mondo, Don’t Be Happy etc. Do a four hour set that should see everybody happy.
September 6th, 2009 at 22:29
How about no support acts, just an entire Wildhearts evening with beer/pee breaks for all. You could do 3 or 4 hour shows, just play and play. No setlist, just what you fancy, you’d please eveeryone cos you play for long enough and cover your career that’s for sure.
September 7th, 2009 at 03:31
Oh, just spotted it…
Somebody asked who the support was gonna be.
The Black Spiders, apparently.
http://www.myspace.com/theblackspiders
September 7th, 2009 at 10:04
Would love to hear the new album in full,then a 2nd half of classics from rest of the albums.
Turning American,my baby is a headfuck,caffeine bomb,news of the world,sick of drugs,I wanna go, any of these at Manchester would be awsome.Would be great to here Geordie in wonderland and the Cheers theme tune live!
Maybe you could play new album in full every gig then change which classics you play at each venue.
See you on tour!
September 7th, 2009 at 10:08
B please, as much as i love it, if you do play it in its entirity, at least mix it up, not all in one go, classics in between.
Saw metallica play master of puppets in its entitity, loved that album but it meant you knew what was next and lost element of surprise.
Only time ive seen metalica and it meant i missed out on a range of songs they would normally have played.
Same goes for these gigs….. im actually taking my mum and dad after years of trying to pursuade them (they feel too old) and want them to be impressed!
I KNOW!!!!… option C… a 4 hour set please
September 7th, 2009 at 10:09
Hey you guys – what do we need to do to see you in the HOLYLAND. please…please…please…please…please…please…give a show in ISRAEL!!!. Im a fan for 16 years and my dream to see a gig by the Wildhearts & Cardiacs. AND YES OPTION A. KEEP THE FAITH.
September 7th, 2009 at 12:16
Play Chutzpah in full, play Chutzpah un full!
Oh and pleeeaaaaaase play something off your self titled, you never seem to play anything off it
September 7th, 2009 at 13:31
WELL I’VE POSTED A FEW IDEAS ALREADY.
BUT I’VE GOT ONE BIG COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS TOUR – MY NEAREST VENUE IS BRISTOL – WHICH IS TWO AND A HALF HOURS TO THREE HOURS AWAY. I FINISH WORK AT 5.30PM. NEED TO BE BACK AT WORK AT 8.45AM ON THE SATURDAY. WORK THAT ONE OUT. THANKS FOR CONSIDERING ALL YOU FANS IN SOUTH WALES ON THIS TOUR.
September 7th, 2009 at 15:31
Play Chutzpah in full plus classic B-sides: Two-Way Idiot-Mirror, Fired Up, Hate The World Day etc. plus a few “Best Of”
September 7th, 2009 at 17:14
I go for option B, Chutzpah is ok but not great though i really like ‘you’re the proof..’ and ‘mazel tov cocktail’ (but i’m a pop head..), i think it’s a bit of a follow-up record..
i know i’m the minority here but when another pop album as the amazing ‘must be destroyed’?
would also like to hear again ‘understanding jane’ live.
luv
f
September 7th, 2009 at 17:22
Old and new maybe some borrowed
September 7th, 2009 at 17:23
You definately need to play Chutzpah in it’s entirety – it’s amazing and I’m sure they’re gonna be awesome live. If you’d be so kind as to throw in a couple of old rarities too that’d be great, ta!
September 7th, 2009 at 18:07
in any case i shall add that plying an album IN FULL is never a good idea, apart from exceptional albums and occasions (e.g. ‘earth against wh’ show).
‘the only one’ sounds like a college rock song. not a bad song .. and i don’t even dislike college rock (being a pop-punk head..). but it doesn’t have the WH personality – perhaps also because sorry’s vocals.
September 7th, 2009 at 18:40
vocals on ‘mazel tov cocktail’ came out really nicely, very natural with little effects and little over-dubbing .. song is already a classic in my head.
i think that there is too much artificiality and over-production in the rest of the album.
i quite like skychaser (92 of the previous) tracklist, to which i would especially add ‘stormy’ and ‘top of the world’ somewhere.
September 7th, 2009 at 20:25
Deffinately go for option A, and play the whole album. It truely is amazing. Plus as it’s only 36 minutes long, it should only take up half the set, if that!
I cannot wait for the tour!
September 7th, 2009 at 20:29
Play all of The Wildhearts as it is a far better album than Chutzpah is IMHO, and there are far to many unplayed live songs on that album!
Looking forward to Bristol and Exeter whatever is played though.
September 7th, 2009 at 20:31
I’d say play about 6/7 songs from the new record, then some classic, and please please please i beg you to play inglorious it is such a fantastically crafted song, one which i would love to hear live, i’m sure i am not the only one!.
September 7th, 2009 at 20:32
play the whole of chutzpah! its astounding!!!! and for the rest of the set i would like to hear destroy all monsters, bi polar baby, carmelita, move on, show a little emotion, i wanna go…, love u til i dont, vanilla radio, caprice, pissjoy, the people that life forgot and most definitely BORDERLINE, cause its fucking incredible. but hey thats just me. if i named all i wanted to hear youd be on stage for days.
September 7th, 2009 at 20:40
CLassics with a sprinkling of new stuff guys!
September 7th, 2009 at 22:00
Yeah i think the whole album should be played + few classics!!!
September 7th, 2009 at 22:16
I’ve sat in the dressing room with the band before many a show, and I can tell you that they find it as difficult to choose a set list as we do. It borders on the comical, even when only a limited number of tunes have been rehearsed.
Personally I’d go for Jackson Whites, Only One, You are Proof, Sunshine, and John of Violence from Chutzpah.
Along with any old collection of classics but my choices today would be Bullshit, Red Light, Be My Drug, Revolution, People, 29 x, and maybe Love ya.
Wnything else would be a bonus. Short and sweet songs with singalongachoruses.
September 7th, 2009 at 22:17
Option A Please
Make the show different to previous gigs for a change!
September 7th, 2009 at 22:41
I really think and want you to play all of chutzpah. it’s top!!!! looking forward to the gigs!!! i will defo be at the front!!! xx
September 8th, 2009 at 01:54
How about a decent mix, something like..
1 stormy in the north…..
2 suckerpunch
3 plastic jebus
4 tim smith
5 29x the pain
6 i wanna go where the people go
7 o.c.d
8 chutzpah
9 everlone
10 the jackson whites
11 if life is like a love bank….
12 rooting for the bad guy
13 lake of piss
14 vanilla radio
15 caprice
————————
16 slaughtered authors
17 inglorious
September 8th, 2009 at 01:56
Yeah something similar to that, but maybe john of violence thrown in as well as looking for the one!
September 8th, 2009 at 11:54
Why don’t you play every single song you’ve ever released, might take a day or two but i’m sure you would get no complaints from the audience,
can’t wait till the 27th and it would be awesome to hear the whole of chutzpah, it’s incredible, mazel tov cocktail blows my mind.
2 requests as well, looking for the one and love u till i don’t, probably my two favourite tracks, don’t suppose there’s ever a chance you’ll play pissjoy though is there?
Catch you cool cats soon and please never stop writing new material, you’re still the greatest band going and never fail to disappoint
September 8th, 2009 at 11:59
Beautiful thing you as well, how do yous write so many incredible songs?
I think your mathematical equation would be
Wildhearts = god(Jesus + Awesome)²
September 8th, 2009 at 12:04
guys…do i detect a secret desire to play the whole of chutzpah and you’re just fishing for approval!!??
well it’s fine by me…..i’ve got to be honest and say it took me a few listens to be sure but it’s a wildhearts classic in every sense….
as long as you add the revolution will be televised and suckerpunch i’ll be as happy as laurence…roll on the 1st of october…
September 8th, 2009 at 12:09
The whole of chutzpah…then classics..which must include….Vanilla Radio, Beautiful thing, 29x the pain and This Revolution will be televised…..it gonna be a feckin’ great gig what ever you play
September 8th, 2009 at 12:33
Option A for me,
¡Chutzpah! would be great in its entirety, same order as the tracks on the CD. Then just a mix of everything, can’t really go wrong! (Love U ‘Til I Don’t, 29x The Pain would get my vote…)
Only 19 sleeps ’til the Wildhearts now!
September 8th, 2009 at 13:37
It is the Chuzpah! Tour after all, so the whole of the new album with a fair few older ones as well would get my vote. hopefully to include News of The World (my fav song and never seen it live!)Loveshit, 29x, Miles Away Girl, Channel Bop, Everlone, Love you til I don’t, ah you get the message! I’m sure it’ll be awesome whatever you play, but please no OCD!! Can’t stand that one and it seems to get played evry tour!
See you in Manchester and Leeds!
September 8th, 2009 at 13:49
play all of Chutzpah! and then play it again. i fucking love the new album. oh and make sure you play The Snake, The Lion, The Monkey and The Spider. that song is amazing.
September 8th, 2009 at 13:57
It’s got be A. Play Chutzpah! The Shepherds Bush Earth vs 15th anniversary gig was fantastic (took me back to Kentish Town Forum) and it’s doing something different that marks these gigs as one-offs, the classics can be played anytime. Play the new album, then I’d like to see some huge spinning wheel (of fortune) complete with flashing lights picking out random songs from the catalogue (covers included) to make up the encores please. What do I need to bribe you to make this happen?
September 8th, 2009 at 14:45
option b!!
tv tan and rooting for the guy are my requests for manchester pleeeeeeeeeease!!
September 8th, 2009 at 14:47
Ive been slow getting hold of the album cause HMV (Has Mostly Videos) in stafford seems to forgotten to order any music since 2001. looking at peoples reactions I NEED IT NOW. dont tell me what i’m missing, someone sing it to me…..
September 8th, 2009 at 15:07
i reiterate – bet you wish you’d never fucking asked, just play the bastard anyway
September 8th, 2009 at 16:08
Go the Springsteen route – a 3 hour set, play about half of the new album, do the handful of classics that you have to play and then take requests for the rest of the tracks. Everyone happy. Playing an album top to bottom is so 2008….
September 8th, 2009 at 22:39
option b, everlone has to be on the setlist whatever you play, pretty please
September 9th, 2009 at 09:57
I reckon the new album is definately the way to go, then rock it out with some rarities and classics….
I can’t remember hearing Inglorious live? That’d be pretty awesome.
September 9th, 2009 at 12:39
Definately A.
I’ve been to see you guys since ’94 and although its good to hear the classics sets definately need to be mixed up a bit. Every gig of yours i’ve been to has been amazing however on the last tour supporting “the Wildhearts” I was gutted that only 2 songs were played as every song is fantastic on that album.
Definately don’t play the new album in order as it’s better no knowing whats coming next. Always a niughtmere being at the front and trying not to read the setlist.
Wildhearts fans are very loyal (in the UK I can only speak for) so the majority will know the material. Plus….
New of the world
Weekend
a few of “the wildhearts that haven’t been played offen, e.g. slaughtered athors, bibolar baby, inner city overture, the hard way.
Can’t do right for doing wrong
Understanding Jane.
Whatever you guys do I’m sure it’ll be amazing!!!
I’m gutted that I wont be able to go as I’ve left the UK to travel for a bit.
Make sure you come to New Zealand.
Guys in the UK. Have a fuckin amazing gig….Lucky bastards, lol
September 9th, 2009 at 14:42
A please. The whole album, preferably the JAPANESE version plus a couple classics. Oh, and the whole EARTH vs. record as the encore. PLEEZE?
September 9th, 2009 at 16:46
Here’s another one you’ve gotta play – People Who Died from the Japanese version of the album!
It’s gotta be at least the second best one on there!
September 9th, 2009 at 19:27
Absolutely: play “Chutzpah!” in it’s entirety!
C’mon, even Ginger was moaning about how bored he was on the last tour – well imagine how boring it is for us to have to hear “I Wanna Go Where The People Go” and “Sick Of Drugs” for the millionth time! Personally, if I never hear those songs again, it will be too soon.
Why not dust off some of those awesome b-sides too?
With the amount of Wildhearts songs that have been thrust on to those round, shiny bits of plastic over the years, there really is no reason for 2 setlists on this upcoming tour to be the same.
Have a great tour, chaps!
xxxMxxx
September 9th, 2009 at 19:51
Option B
September 10th, 2009 at 09:02
A please guys. Cannot wait.
September 10th, 2009 at 11:03
First, whatever you do. PLAY ANTHEM! PLAY ANTHEM! PLAY ANTHEM!
Ok, that out of the way. Hmmmm it’s a tough choice.
I was really pleased in the last tour where you finished with Destroy All Monsters instead of Love U Till I Dont. Variety be the spice of life!
As Chutzpah is short then yeah, B, play it all. The other half of the gig please be mostly unusuals, like Hate The World Day! Pick just two or three stone cold classics to play, and fill the rest of the set with unusuals.
That’s what I think.
But don’t forget, whatever you do, PLAY ANTHEM!
September 10th, 2009 at 13:11
No point releasing a new album if you ain’t going to play much off it. I was always bumed that you played fuck all off the previous album. Play Chutzpah
September 10th, 2009 at 13:57
I’d go for option C… most of Chutzpah but not in order as it’s always nice to guess what song’s coming next! All mixed up a bit with about 4 classics and the rest of the set rarities such as Girlfriend Clothes, Hate the World Day, Inglorious etc.
See you in Manchester!!!
September 10th, 2009 at 13:58
Oh and play Nurse Maximum too!
September 10th, 2009 at 14:25
When i first read this i instantly thought option B but now im listening to the album for the ….”lost count” time, play Chutzpah!! It would be amazing to see the whole thing live and the album is short so you can still play all the songs we love!…Oh and dont forget to throw in a couple that you haven’t played in years! They are always amazing no matter what songs they are.
See you in Glasgow!
September 10th, 2009 at 15:57
play the album and some classics there always good no matter what
September 10th, 2009 at 18:43
B. Please b.
bbbb
September 10th, 2009 at 19:22
OPTION A! Hasn’t been out of my walkman since it went in and it’s not coming out! Show A Little Emotion or Two Way Idiot Mirror tooooooooo pleeeeease!
September 10th, 2009 at 20:32
This is so hard…despite following the band since the early nineties, I never tire of hearing any of the back catalogue, so it’s tempting for to go for the ‘best of’ option cos it’s so great to see the classics live. However, you guys have totally and utterly blown me away with Chutzpah – it is so fantastic, and has so many different elements – seeing it all live would be a pretty special experience. So option B for me!
September 10th, 2009 at 20:44
Option C – play a lot of new stuff, but mix it up with some oldies!! Playing through the whole album makes it way too predictable. You need the excitement of not knowing what songs are coming next.
September 10th, 2009 at 21:43
Please don’t just play “classsics”, I love those songs but I have been hearing them since I was 15 (I’m fricking 30). Play the new album, B-sides, whatever you need to keep it interesting for yourselves, very few from from earth versus required for me.
September 10th, 2009 at 22:08
by all means play the whole album , but not in order , one after another . change it round , break it up with a bit of what you fancy . album dynamics and live dynamics just ain’t the same .
like you need me to tell you that
hell , you’re the wildhearts , you could play a set of terrorvision songs and it would still be the wildhearts . go with what feels good to you . no-one wants to see a band not feeling good . everyone wants to see the band feeling good . it maketh everyone feel good .
except the non-fans who only come to barge down the front at the end for ‘ i wanna go ‘ and would complain about not knowing the songs even if it was a classics set
September 10th, 2009 at 22:39
This Is a toughie, been into the ‘hearts for a long long time, ever since “Don’t be happy…….” infact, There are lots of instant classics on the new album but I’m not sure about playing all of it in one go from start to finish.
I’m comong up from sunny South Wales for the Rock City gig on the 19th and the perfect set list for me (presuming you guys will play for this long) would be:
1: The Jackson Whites
2: Plastic Jebus
3: Nexus Icon
4: You Are Proof that not all Women…..etc
5: The Revolution Will Be Televised
6: Everlone
7: Tim Smith
8: Low Energy Vortex
9: Greetings From Shitsville
10: Nina Nitro
11: So Into You
12: You Took The Sunshine From New York
13: Mazel Tov Cocktail
14: TV Tan
15: Rooting For The Bad Guy
16/17: My Baby is a Headfuck straight into Suckerpunch just like on the album
18: Loveshit
19: I Wanna Go Where the People go
20: Vanilla Radio
Encores:
Caffine Bomb
Chutzpah
Christ that was soooo difficult, there’s loads more I would like to add, I don’t envy you guys having to choose your set list
See you at Rock City
September 10th, 2009 at 22:48
The new stuff + I Wanna Go and Skybabies! Have seen ya loadsa times over the last 15 years but never heard Sky Babies live!
September 10th, 2009 at 23:52
Damn, I Forgot about The Snake, The Lion & The Monkey – slot that one in too
September 11th, 2009 at 09:31
Loved the Earth versus show, so i reckon all of Chutzpah – crackin’ listen btw. Can we have Slaughtered Authors, nothing ever changes. . . and the bullshit. . . just play every F**king thing you’ve ever written, I’ll be happy to stay all night. See you at the Concorde2 in Brighton.
September 11th, 2009 at 09:40
can I just add, the first time I saw you, you were supoprting The Almighty with Kerbdog (’92??) Have seen you every tour and never disappointed. My mates have a joke that I’ve either just been to see The ‘hearts, have just booked tix to see The ‘Hearts or am going next week. So obsessive or not always a pleasure. Can we also have Channel Bop.
September 11th, 2009 at 14:40
I’ll be at Manc so it would be whole of Chutzpah! in order and other songs to include, Rooting for the Bad Guy, Channel Bop, Unbreakable and the whole of Endless Nameless to finish…then play Jackson Whites again. How fucking good would that be. Good luck lads, cracking album and how many other bands can remain just as important after all these years, apart from Rush!!!!!!
September 11th, 2009 at 20:11
OPTION B AT BRIGHTON PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 11th, 2009 at 20:50
the whole of don’t be happy followed by the whole of Chutzpah then earth versus just to top off
September 11th, 2009 at 22:45
Play the whole of Chutzpah TWICE!! Please. It’s fuckin’ wonderful!!!!
September 12th, 2009 at 12:29
Option B. Chutzpah! is superb but as you don’t play Manchester every other week I’d rather hear stuff from the back catalogue too. Drag up some oldies for us to enjoy. OR….. Play Buxton one week then Manchester the next week for a couples of months and run through the WHOLE back catalogue inc. Honeycrack, SG5, etc etc
September 12th, 2009 at 14:40
It has to be the whole of the Japanese CHUTZPAH! for me. It would be a great laugh if you started with Chutzpah JNR. And All That Zen is a cracking tune as well.
September 13th, 2009 at 14:08
If you’re only as good as your last record, you should be allowed to play the bugger!
September 13th, 2009 at 19:53
I’d love the whole of Chutzpah, with a load of favourites. I’m bringing my lass and she’s never seen The Wildhearts before, so you can’t leave out Everlone, Geordie, Nita Nitro, Luv u til i don’t, TV Tan, Headfuck, Shitsville, I wanna go… fuck it, just play the entire back catalogue. Sky babies, anyone?
September 13th, 2009 at 20:16
Option B!!! Love chutzpah but i hate gigs where a whole album is played – would like to hear a fair few songs from it though.
September 14th, 2009 at 09:45
Los dos últimos cds y cualquiera del Endless Nameless
The last two CDs and any of the Endless Nameless..

September 14th, 2009 at 21:32
B. For sure.
September 15th, 2009 at 02:00
How long will your set be guys? At least an hour and a half please! So many great songs to get through! A mix of Chutzpah and new stuff please. All of new album may not leave enough time for all of the other great stuff… At least play Jackson Whites, Only One and New York from the new album
September 15th, 2009 at 20:08
I have followed the Wildhearts since the beginning, and NEVER heard them play “Splattermania” live.
This is an old favourite of mine, please add this one, just once at least!
September 15th, 2009 at 23:24
Chutzpah in it’s entirety & then as long as yous play “Loveshit” “Rooting for the Bad Gay” & “Sweetest Song” I’ll be ecstatic!!
September 16th, 2009 at 07:28
AAAAA + Love U Till I Don’t, Vanilla Radio, The New Flesh and (deep breath) You’ve Got To Get Through What You’ve Got To Go Through…etc!
September 16th, 2009 at 13:50
Would love to actualy hear Putting it on Live, Bristol on Friday is going to be fucking awsome regardless, cant wait to hear the guys live againa
September 16th, 2009 at 18:04
‘Chutzpah!’, please…
…followed by a set of album tracks and B-sides. Your fanbase know the back-catalogue so there’s no need for yet another biggest (s)hits set. Please banish into obscurity the awful ‘I Wanna Go Where The People Go’ and ‘Sick Of Drugs’, and give ‘…Headfuck’ a much-needed rest.
There’s no reason for either band or audience members to be bored at a Wildhearts gig. You have a wonderful and extensive canon of music. Let’s explore it together.
September 17th, 2009 at 21:07
One word: CHUTZPAH!
September 18th, 2009 at 12:15
Any news on what the Brighton setlist was then?
For Shep’s Bush I’d love to hear Chutzpah, plus Eager to Leave Her, Dangerlust, Cheers, Vanilla Radio, Naivety Play, Caprice, Love U Till I Don’t, Fugazi (Do the Fake) and Junkenstein
September 22nd, 2009 at 13:02
Reckon you should just pick the bounciest ones off Chutzpah! and then the ones you know are the best live for rest (at least for the Birmingham gig!). Sure it’ll be wicked
September 22nd, 2009 at 13:13
Option B Deffo!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 14:13
B – A FEW FROM CHUTZ AND EARTH VS .. EVERLONE ESPECIALLY
September 22nd, 2009 at 14:14
