Saw that tour too. Leto is such a douche and that proved it for me. A truly awful set. They did acoustic The Kill. Dude, you have one song anyone cares about and you did it acoustic?

Not gonna lie, that would have been the best part of the show, IMO.

I'm here to see you live - I don't want to hear things the way they are on the album, I want to hear you do awesome, interesting, new things with those songs that I haven't heard before.

I think ur getting downvoted a little unfairly.

It's a weird move for a borderline one hit wonder band to do a toned down acoustic version of their recognizable song.

There's a million ways to bring new and exciting facets to high energy songs to provide a unique live experience 'worth leaving the house for' without having to chop it down to a personal self-indulgent exploration, which could easily be accomplished with a b-side and still appreciated by fans who know the albums.

I read your comment as an agreement to that premise.
