Vantage Point for me has a couple of good songs that mainly make it live. Oh your god Favorite Game and Is a robot. Then architect it's not one of my favorite's at all but it's funny. About slow I think it is not that good live, maybe hard to transcribe from studio to the stage but that happens.
I agree, Pocket Revolution is much better than VP. And songs you named are also my

I do understand you, truly! :-)
But now don't take it on Slow, it is the only SONG on VP :-)
I first heard Slow and thought WOW! this album is going to kick ass. Then i heard The Architecht and was doubtfull and then when i head VP hating it was the next step. It does not touch me at all. I prefer Pocket Revolution to VP. At least there you can find Sun Ra, PR, Bad Timing, If You

But well I didn't wanted to fight about the quality of Creep. I know you are a musician, at least is what I understand from some information on your blogs. I am one too. Anyway Creep for me is lousy, as you look to the following works and are hundreds of steps above creep. It's a very typical song. Four power chords on the acoustic, then on distortion

"It maybe not a lousy song to you, I think it is because it's my opinion, yours doesn't have to be the same as mine."

Wow! nice way to end a debate :-)
And that does it! But mind that i am not trying to convince you the fact is that it is indeed a good song, like Thriller is and i don't like it but i have to recognize that it is a fact. Taste is not equal to

It maybe not a lousy song to you, I think it is because it's my opinion, yours doesn't have to be the same as mine.

I understand your point on S&S however I don't agree, and if they leave the song out more often I hope that in Portugal they'll play it.

S&S is not dEUS today, but it's dEUS and from a time that we liked much more than these days.<

Well you have a point but still S&S is not dEUS today also...
And Radiohead did not leave Creep out due to an aesthetic option. It was due to saturation of the BIG hit the music turned into. It almost imploded the band. Of course the implosion is not an issue with dEUS but saturation is and that song is saturated even if it is an anthem.
Oh! and Creep is not a lousy song, you may

I don't think that S&S should get out. And I have a reason to think it. S&S translates almost everything that a real dEUS fan like in the band. Is the mess, sinchronized chaos, the unpredictable and madness. Hotellounge or any other song on WCS has not the same meaning. And S&S was the first anthem and it will always be the registered trademark. I don't agree with the

Well i understand your point of view but i also feel that S&S should quit the set from time to time. Like Radiohead did with Creep. Put it on hold and let the people breath the absence. For instance i believe Hotellounge is already on a too long break and is a song that deserves the same credit has S&S. I tend to miss it more than S&S. But there is no neeed to take it out of the vault

I think dEUS fans tend to exaggerate in relation to the bands work.

Can a dEUS setlist be good without Suds & Soda? No it can't. It's a flaw. And maybe for people in Belgium who may hear dEUS everyday in the radio or have information and shows more frequently than in the rest of Europe, maybe it's possible. For me, living in Portugal, having Suds & Soda as a giant
