Reapers (live)

This page contains a list of all known performances of Reapers.

Analysis and Explanation

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.

The sound of shattering glass would sometimes be played before the song at some 2015 Festival Tour dates.

* JFK was played at a small amount of gigs in 2007 as intro music.

** Drones was played twice at every performance from its debut with three exceptions as of the last update. The actual total of gigs is highly inflated in comparison with other songs as a result. It has not been performed twice at festival dates, however, since the end of the 360 Tour in 2016.
