Reapers has been a fan favourite since its debut in Belfast. The song was performed at most of the 2015 gigs, but has been on rotation with Revolt since December 2015. At one point holding the second highest performance count of any Drones song, whenever Reapers was skipped at a live date, fans reacted with a flurry of tweets using the hashtag "RIPers". This event took place most famously around December 2015 when the song was skipped at three dates, causing upset fans to react with mild aggression on social media websites. Likely because of this, despite it being on rotation with Revolt and, during 2016, Stockholm Syndrome, it has been played at most gigs since December 19, 2015.

After Glastonbury Festival 2016, however, Reapers alongside JFK was permanently dropped from setlists. Despite this, the song's intro and outro riffs, as well as part of the chorus riff, have been played during every Stockholm Syndrome performance as of yet. For BlizzCon 2017, Matt wanted the song to be performed, however he was outnumbered by Chris and Dom (who favoured The Handler), and thus The Handler was performed instead. Matt wore a Reaper mask as a tribute, though, during some songs that evening.
During the Drones World Tour the song was most commonly played after JFK towards the end of the set, in rotation with Revolt and Stockholm Syndrome. However towards the end of the tour and for a few dates at the start of the tour, it was played near the start of the show, usually after Psycho (though at one or two shows it opened).

Analysis and Explanation

Reapers has been a fan favourite since its debut in Belfast and was played very commonly during the Drones era - at one point holding the second highest performance count of any Drones song. Humorously whenever Reapers was skipped at a live date, fans reacted with a flurry of tweets using the hashtag "RIPers".

During the Drones World Tour the song was most commonly played after JFK towards the end of the set, in rotation with Revolt and Stockholm Syndrome. However towards the end of the tour and for a few dates at the start of the tour, it was played near the start of the show, usually after Psycho (though at one or two shows it opened).

After Glastonbury Festival 2016, however, Reapers alongside JFK were dropped from setlists. Despite this, the song's outro riff was played very commonly in 2017 as an outro to Stockholm Syndrome. While the song hasn't been performed in full since 2016, a shortened version is still played as part of the Metal Medley for the Simulation Theory Tour.
