This page contains a list of all known performances of Drill Sergeant, the intro of Psycho.

Analysis and Explanation

Drill Sergeant is performed solely as an intro to Psycho, just as it did on the album, and never in conjunction with another song. The band play no instruments during this song and it is merely played from tape. It made its debut in May 2015 and was used at almost all gigs that year, including the Summer Festival Tour. However, once the main arena leg of the Drones World Tour began in November, the song was dropped from the setlists and Drones was used as an intro to Psycho instead. It was only played on 3 occasions during the tour when either the drones weren't working due to a technical error or if Reapers starts the show.

Once the arena leg of the tour ended in June, Drill Sergeant returned to the setlists and has been a near constant part of the setlist along with Psycho ever since, with there being only a very small handful of times when it wasn't played.

During the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, the Sergeant video was changed to a robot (similar to ones seen in 'The Dark Side' music video) talking and its voice was altered to sound more robotic and distorted than in previous tours - probably to reflect the shows theme of being caged in simulations. This version was later incorporated by Matt into the song 'Psycho Murphy Speaks', which featured on Simulation Theory Film soundtrack.

* 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.
