Last.

[LPxDC]

Last no doubt

[ThePretender]

Last is more energetic, how ironic that might sound!

[Jgrosk]

I liked it last but when they broke the tradition it ruined it being last for me, I just don't care when its played anymore.

[maik_gianino]

Last, but First sounds amazing... i love the Intro

[DeepestBlue]

As much as I like the intro when it's played first, I think it does much better with the crowd being last. Besides, it's their first single and one of their most well known songs.

[Twiilite]

Personally, I prefer One Step Closer to be 2nd last to Faint *puts up flame shield*.

 

But on the topic of first or last, I guess last is better.

[Astat]

I'm pretty much indifferent.

[MONDREUS240]

I could usually care less whether its first or last, but I like it when they end with Bleed It Out better than when they end with OSC.

[troub1eboy]

I wouldnt mind it being last as ive only seen it open a show

[wiiesel]

LAST!

 

It's the best LP song to close a show in my opinion. (although Faint is pretty good too.)

If they start with OSC I feel like I already saw the best after one song ^^

Same, but if it's first, then close with BIO, I just don't think Faint does a closer justice.

WHAT.

 

BIO is the worst closer of the MTM cycle. Faint is much better closing.

 

OSC last for sure.

Agree'd

[LPPRJKT4]

WHAT.

 

BIO is the worst closer of the MTM cycle. Faint is much better closing.

 

OSC last for sure.

I personally never cared much for Faint as a closer, whereas BIO was this big extended party version, I feel like you and I have had this argument on the forums before lmao.

I like it better last. The energy is better. But I love the into when played first

I kind of agree with Mark on this one, Bleed it Out works best as the last song before the encore IMO. When you take a song that's that short and extend it to roughly 8 minutes with a drum solo and at least one, sometimes TWO extended outros, the energy tends to die off before the song ends, or at least have lulls in it. Faint and OSC do much better jobs as closers because they're both high-energy and get the point across in 5 minutes or less. That's also why I always thought Breaking the Habit was a horrible choice as a closer for the Japan shows in 2006, particularly with the extended piano/vocal outro, and PMA piano right before it.

 

I think BIO works as a closer in certain situations, it comes across a lot better IMO when they put Rob's drum solo at the beginning and don't use the slow>fast additional outro. The time from the start of the guitar intro to the end of the song really doesn't need to be more than 4 and a half minutes.

[Geki]

This is a tough poll for me...I loved when it opened in the set 2007. But, I also love it as a closer. When you combine APFMH and OSC as a set closer, you can't get any better. So I guess by vote goes to last.

Personally I think the slow-fast outro is what made it the good closer, but I do agree that the 09 version would probably be the best closer, drum solo at the beginning, it's long enough occasionally a sing-along thrown in there lol.

[FearOfTheDuck]

Last. With Faint (extended outro) just before it, kick straight into the riff and then have the Reanimation bridge and extended outro

 

For me, the best closer of the main set would be A Place for My Head.

[crusader25]

last last last last las t l ast l a s t tsal last last last LAST LAST LASTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! lol

Enough said coz it get the crowd excited after a big show.

[leftshoe18]

When I saw that concert they showed in movie theaters (I won tickets!!) before Minutes to Midnight was released I was shocked to see One Step Closer being played first since I had always thought it closed every show (or at least was right before the encore).

 

I've never seen an actual LP show (just videos for now), but I definitely prefer it in the videos to be near the end...especially with the Reanimation bridge in there.

 

Anyways, is there any way to get that making-of documentary at the beginning of that theater show? If I remember correctly, it was different than the one on the MTM DVD.

[ChuckCheese]

Lasty last last. It is a killer opener though.
