If only they wouldn't keep dropping Feeling Good and Resistance for those awful loud ones!
-
Their soft-pop songs are a minority in their back catalogue but in the majority of their singles since 2006. Not all softer poppier songs need to be released as singles, some can just be 'album filler'. But since they've gone down this route the live sets now do not reflect the band's output as a whole and that's why these arguments continue to crop up regarding the setlist
-
I'd be shocked if MK Ultra came back. They barely played it when it was new and popular
-
Hopefully by then it'll be Madness or UD (preferably neither and Animals is back)
-
Average setlist of 2015 (apparently): Psycho The Handler Dead Inside Plug In Baby Interlude + Hysteria Supermassive Black Hole Reapers Munich Jam Apocalypse Please Madness Stockholm Syndrome Starlight Time Is Running Out Uprising Mercy Encore: [JFK] Knights of Cydonia Could easily modify this structure and add some rotations: Psycho Bliss/Map of the Problematique The Handler Dead Inside Plug In Baby Interlude + Hysteria Supermassive Black Hole Reapers Munich Jam Apocalypse Please/USoE Sunburn/Ruled By Secrecy [piano selection] Madness/Resistance Starlight Revolt Time Is Running Out Uprising Stockholm Syndrome The Globalist Encore: [JFK] Defector/Supremacy Mercy Knights of Cydonia New Born, CE, Animals, Uno, Muscle Museum could be waiting in the wings to be added somewhere from time to time

Acabo de despertarme. Feliz navidad y prospero año!

With a few tweaks... [Drones] Reapers Uprising Supermassive Black Hole Map of the Problematique/Hysteria Isolated System + The Handler Plug In Baby/Bliss Dead Inside Citizen Erased/New Born Apocalypse Please/Ruled By Secrecy Sunburn/United States of Eurasia Madness/Resistance Animals [JFK] Defector Time is Running Out Muscle Museum/Uno Stockholm Syndrome The Globalist [Drill Sergeant] Psycho Mercy Knights of Cydonia

Uno was awesome in Belfast

It's not one Matt wrote

I know someone who claimed to like Muse on the basis of Follow Me and Undisclosed Desires. Having heard most of their songs now the verdict is: 'Starlight is so boring' 'Resistance was a single? What the fuck?' 'Michael Buble's version is so much better', 'Fuck off Twilight!' 'Why don't they play Sunburn anymore?'
-
n needs to be at least 30 to make any inferences. I conducted a similar experiment at Glastonbury 2010. Lots of people chatted in the run from Guiding Light to TIRO.....
-
Biffy Clyro continue to play Jaggy Snake to arenas full of people that had no idea a guitar could make such noise If the poppiest songs in the set were Supermassive/Uprising/Mercy then the heavier stuff wouldn't seem so out of place but they seem to be marketing themselves on UD/Resistance/Madness type stuff Your first paragraph could easily be about the UK though. There's very few arena type-bands coming through now. Our concert scene seems to be Adele, Coldplay and Ed Sheeran... The second paragraph could just be the arguments from The Resistance Tour all over again, short sets, all the singles (though back then New Born, Map and Stockholm were still regulars). MK Ultra largely ignored for large sections of the tour despite being picked out by fans and critics alike as the best song on the album.
-
Stereotyping that US is 'commercial' with 'short attention spans'. Bands do it a lot in the sense that they say something such as 'oh our heavier stuff sold better in country x so we'll probably play some of that there'
-
I liked the idea of the piano-based one on the last tour. Infact everything about the T2L arena tour shows how bad the Drones one is, even if Drones is a better album
-
http://www.nme.com/news/muse/68787 Maybe they should follow what they say
-
I thought Reapers interrupting the first playthrough of Drones would sound quite cool but they did it once? Meh get rid of Revolt, play Reapers. Bring back Stockholm Syndrome and play Map between Psycho and Dead Inside. Then change the rest of the set
-
The non-guitar version is dreadful though
-
Theoretically the set could get worse: Drones Psycho Dead Inside (no guitar) Resistance Plug In Baby (technical issues/crowd don't sing chorus) Isolated System Knights of Cydonia Supermassive Aftermath Munich Jam Explorers Feeling Good Guiding Light Madness Undisclosed Desires Blackout (no guitar) JFK + Revolt Time Is Running Out Uprising Mercy Prelude + Starlight
-
Aftermath and FG for The Handler and Hysteria
-
Muse logic. Two words: Mk and Ultra
-
I was there. Bands sometimes joke sbout which night is better. Matt sounded serious snd petulant. Also on that tour dedicating Bliss and CE to the 'real fans on our messageboard, all 5 of them'
-
It's like a worse version of the TR Tour

"From the moment they were somewhat surprisingly announced back in November there was a fair amount of doubt surrounding Muse’s position as Download 2015 headliners. By the end of the first song, the rifftastic new offering Psycho, it was already very clear something special was going to take place. Muse had promised a special heavier setlist for Download. They delivered it in spades. Regular live staples such as New Born (brilliant) and Hysteria (even better) set the bar sky high early on but Messrs Bellamy, Howard and Wolstenholme didn’t drop their levels for a second. Muse Download Festival 2015 Muse: two middle fingers up to the doubters. Matt Bellamy spoke infrequently to the crowd, with the occasional thank you and “Come On Donington!” but he hardly needed copious amounts of stage banter. He let the music do the talking, and when Muse were unloading rarities like Dead Star and Micro Cuts mixed with enjoyable new songs like Dead Inside and Reapers, the music was all anyone needed. The encore is perhaps one of the greatest twenty minute musical periods in Download Festival history. The sight and sound of roughly 80,000 people bellowing the chorus to Uprising back at Matt Bellamy in Unison was one of THE moments of Download 2015. Then *that* riff to Plug In Baby was unleashed and Donington Park collectively lost it’s mind. The obligatory Knights Of Cydonia was saved for the close, and Download bounced along as one to one of the greatest songs of the last ten years. Coupled with an impressive fireworks display to finish things off, Muse hadn’t merely dispelled the doubts, they’d smashed them into a million pieces. Band of the festival status (at least in this reviewers mind) was theirs with a full day still to go." So while hits are important, it's important to pick the right ones
-
It's all relative. At the time that was the low point Also shows Muse haven't really made any 'killer' songs since 2006 Could have played both and seriously get rid of Resistance and UD!

Matt hates California
