Well, I'm going to try it for as long as I can. It certainly won't be the end of the world if I find out in advance.

While I don't like to be spoiled for albums, I don't mind being spoiled for concerts. Like Jeremy pointed out, that way I get to know the lyrics to the concert only song. I'll also know which songs I need to educate people on who decide to come with me.

Like when I found out the OC set list from 5 years ago, I was so happy to see DED on the setlists and I was so happy and looking forward to it when I went to see a few of the shows.

Yeah, but imagine how crazy it would be to not have expected Dog Eat Dog and all of the sudden hear the intro music... and then be surprised when he comes out in that huge suit!

I remember that feeling, Jon. It was great. While DED was never one of my favorites, it was still great to see it in concert at the '02 shows at the Orange County fair and in the PH tour.

It kind of depends for me. I like to be surprised but sometimes knowing about some of the songs played is a good thing. As stated in the last page you can learn lyrics and know good camera times. I've never been to one of his concerts so basically everything is a surprise for me.

You're gonna love the Concert Experience, weirdalisthephantomoftheopera. There's nothing quite like an Al-concert.

Concert spoiling is not a problem for me. I saw Al on a Thursday, then again on that Saturday and I was still surprised when certain songs came on. I guess thats part of the "Al induced haze" the Al-Gals are always going on about.

Not because of the Anna Nicole thing, but because of the fact that half of that verse is about "The Osbournes" which has been off the air for a long time now.  I think he'd more likely do the third verse.
I hope he drops it, but if it ends up in the medley he should do the 3rd verse which is by far the best. I actually hated the song for a while until one day I paid a bit more attention to that verse and I really like it.

I'm the complete opposite. When I'm anticipating an album, I'll try to find out as much as I can about it first, but for concerts I'd rather not know anything. It's all about the thrill of surprise, like TMBJon said about DED. I don't think I'll be going to see him on this tour though, so I'll be anxiously awaiting all spoilers. :D
Wishing you a Twisted Christmas and a Twisted New Year!
