With a whole new batch of covers now released, will we finally see the end of WL being in all their live sets? Surely Psycho Killer is just as well known as WL? Personally I’d like to see Spellbound take that mantle but it might not be the crowd pleaser that Psycho Killer is.

Never. The band are blind to the fact the hardcore are bored of it. Also 90pc of the audience are the general public, who love it!

White Lines is more popular than any of the others you mention so there’s no reason for them to drop it long term

If they add one cover song from the album, I hope they add Spellbound. For me it's the best of the bunch

"white lines" will still be in set-lists, at least as far as covers go. it's not in the set-list for being a classic duran duran single, an artistic statement, not known for famous or infamous collaborators, some gorgeous album track, place in a film or tv show--it's in lots of their live shows because it brings energy and it always goes over well. i've heard/seen it in every show that i've been to since 1993, and it always goes over like a classic upbeat duran duran single.
if they did add anything from the new album i would hope it would be "black moonlight," and if we're only talking covers i would really really love to hear "bury a friend," it's really great. love that one.

I think Simon enjoys the rap. It’ll stay just for that reason alone. I loved it when Warren was on guitar. Must admit I’m pretty bored of it. But yeah, it’s a crowd pleaser. There’s your answer.

There’s your answer. hadn't thought about it, but it's also a great break for simon's voice. he gets to do the rap stuff and most of the actual singing on that is done by the audience/backups. nice boost of energy for everyone, and he gets about five minutes of not having to reach so high for stuff like "wild boys," "anniversary," "a view to a kill," "notorious" etc etc etc.

It does normally drop later in the set and will be a good song to rest his voice. I also think they use White Lines more than they should as its a third song from their 90s era that they still play regularly.

One can hope. But probably not.

It will never get dropped from their set list thanks to movies like this...
Can we say it's the quintessential concert go to song for the band? Their version is soo much better than the original...
