Plus, I don't like the way they play Chain any more. Quelle surprise, right?!

Quelle not suprised.
I think those that you mentioned are good openers, too, I wouldn't be averse. But the Chain is very exciting for me, and I love the way they play it now - it sounds more dramatic and full (which it is, I'm sure, what with all the extra instruments). I mean, I really get a huge rush when those drums start. But then, The Chain is so epic and wonderful and strange and dramatic and musically interesting to me, I never get tired of hearing it, I always feel the same sense of excitement and wonder when I do hear it - and I mean, at home, on the radio, in a department store, whatever - that I'm not really even a remotely unbiased commentator.
The songs you mentioned are very rollicking. I love rollicking, but I love the big dramatic boom as an opener even more. The big exclamation point that the Chain is. Okay, I think i'll stop.
