To DVD, or not to DVD?

I thought the interview just posted said there would not be a live dvd.

He should drop Fat NOT Pentiums... remember a lot of people who buy his stuff are ladies. and I know which Id rather look at

People are saying he should drop Pentiums (and I agree) because it feels extremely dated. A chunk of the computer terms aren't used anymore other than to "look back" or for "remembering way back when". Yes, it is great when played in concert, but feels too dated to keep in the set list any longer.

Pfft who cares about that!?
Fat suit or silver suit.. silver suit wins every time

I would actually prefer Fat over Pentiums.

The Fat suit isn't particularly sexy, but c'mon! It's a classic! I'm not a huge fan of IAATP. Fat is much more fun to hear live, IMO.

Not saying I don't love the silver suit, though.

Ok you are officially CRAZY Mary!

Bizarre
(I hate Fat so much it hurts.. the song, the suit, the original song and artist, everything)

Not a chance. Al markets his concerts to casual fans/general public as much as he does to the core fanbase. "Fat" was one of his few BIG hits that most people in the general public knew. "Pentiums" barely got any media attention at all by comparison. Al would be a complete fool to drop "Fat." "Pentiums," on the other hand, could easily be dropped.

He already has two other, more successful rap songs in the set list - "Amish Paradise" and "White and Nerdy." With his recent success with rap parodies, it's logical to assume that the next album will feature at least one big rap song, which means a rap song will probably be cut - and "Pentiums" is the most logical choice. Especially since performance-wise, it's pretty much the same as "Amish Paradise" just with different costumes.

Ok that was a reasonable argument until you got to this bit...

No, it's actually quite true. Al paces back and forth, singing. Both songs, the same thing. Okay, there are some different hand gestures that he does, but it's pretty much the same. Same thing can be said for the "Couch Potato" performance. The most original rap performance that he does is the one for "White and Nerdy."

I *love* Fat - in concert! The ho with the hoe kills me every time! The dancing and the funny sounds that accompany some of his moves...
