Lemon or Break It? - Page 2

error! error! I somehow clicked on Break It, when I meant to click on Frying Pan. Break It is a good song though!

Break It and Nowhere Fast (only the Bad Attitude version, Streets of Fire one is great) are the Steinman songs what I cannot stand at all. But Lemon is boring and I have never been a big fan of Frying Pan. I would say...

Everything Louder or Land Of The Pigs

Life Is a Lemon- The song gives the entire band a chance to shine- the guys on their instruments and Patti on the what about lyrics and extended drum intro.

Even the pianist?

That's true. Mark played keys on that song. He could add some percussion though like he plays cowbell on LA.

I've told you a million billion times not to exagerate

To play it 1000 times over 15 years, he'd have to sing it an average on 66.6 times a year.
When's the last time Meat did 66 shows in one year?

2007 he did more then 80 shows before cancelling after newcastle. No lie:

http://www.kasiminfo.com/2007ML.html

Bat 2 tour he went around the world (even Japan) for a combined total of over 100 shows in 1994

WTTN was a 120 show tour I beleive, a little over 60 of those shows in 1996.

He did 26 shows in Europe for the Greatest hits tour and 36 shows for the american stortytelelrs tour in 1999 for a combined total of 62 and every show Lemon was in the set (while not 66, its close enough):

So while WOH was exagerating, he really wasnt too off.

to my calculations lemon has been performed about 700 times.

All together, or in the last 15 years?

So that means in the last 15 years, minus the 100 or so performances of lemon in 1993-1994, The grand total is around 600.

Taking into consideration Meat only did 7 shows in 2006, no shows in 2009, and didn't do Lemon on the last tour, there's a good chance it's even less

Not that it makes a great difference to the overall total, but he at least 9 shows in 2006

Still a good few off 66

Wario · 14 Jul 2011, 00:03

Calculations:

100 - Bat 2 Tour
120 - BTR Tour
62 - 1999 Tours
31 - Just Having Fun (late 2001 - early 2002)
93 - CHSIB
47 - HOTD
9 - 2006
80 - 2007
26 - CDC

Grand Total = about 568 performances of Lemon, since I know both the bat 2 tour exceeded 100 and the WTTN tour had AT LEAST 120 dates.

RSG · 14 Jul 2011, 00:20

that's a whole lot of lemons... do the 80 in 2007 count as actual gigs performed? excuse my ignorance. there was a bump in the road if memory serves me right.
