When they play A Billion Balconies we should all sniff!

If you listen closely to ABBFTS there are regular rhythmic sniffs throughout the verses. I reckon if the whole audience (pass it around) joined in we could make quite a sniffing racket! And a unique gig experience!!

Could be interesting but probably not audible.

James' sniffs are world famous.

First one comes in at 7 seconds then more or less every 2 seconds or so. Listen, it's there, I have no idea what it really is, made me chuckle the first time I heard the song. sniff sniff sniff.

Surely that's too frequent to be a sniff? Jimmy has some nose issues if not.

I hope this thread/threat didn't scare them. Checked the setlists and am very disappointed. One of the best songs they've ever recorded and they're not playing it live just because we were all gonna sniff throughout it. Come on, lads - sort it out!

that would entertain me beyond belief. However they won't play it live, they only do the boring songs. I mean, the mass communication songs.

Well, it's the track Duff is on... He can't drink any more because of his pancreas, but perhaps he hasn't given up all his vices
