    If you say there are, there are. Nature of rumours, innit?
  2. Clunge
    Matt lost his pedal, remember? .

    Nah. Muse's sets have got progressively shorter, on average, at their arena tour/standard tour shows. Showbiz - 12-15 songs p/n. Origin Of Symmetry - 14-19 songs p/n. Absolution - 16-20 songs p/n. Black Holes & Revelations - 17-19 songs p/n. The Resistance - 15-18 songs p/n. Joke.

    It's the length of the gigs, if anything, that's pissing me off. If you take this as the 'standard' 15-song set: Uprising Map Of The Problematique New Born Supermassive Black Hole Resistance Hysteria United States Of Eurasia Feeling Good Undisclosed Desires Starlight Time Is Running Out Plug In Baby ----- Exogenesis, Pt. 1: Overture Stockholm Syndrome Knights Of Cydonia If the length was 19-21 songs, as it should be, you free up four slots for songs like Guiding Light, MK Ultra, I Belong To You, Neutron Star Collision, Take A Bow, Soldier's Poem, Apocalypse Please, Sing For Absolution, Butterflies & Hurricanes, Ruled By Secrecy, Bliss, Citizen Erased, Dead Star and Sunburn - songs Muse have shown they're still able/willing to play. Muse are a five album, arena band; anything less than 18 songs is simply unacceptable and lazy. Truth. If they're simply not capable of touring to the extent they do without fucking over the fans on certain legs of the tour/at certain shows, tour less. Simple solution. EDIT: Gawd, look at that set on its own - it looks absolutely pathetic on paper .
  5. Clunge
    It definitely is.
  6. Clunge
    Even more evidence for the awesomeness of the Absolution Tour setup. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDut3HtZHVA&feature=fvst
  7. Clunge
    I still dream of something like this again: Citizen Erased Apocalypse Please Ruled By Secrecy United States Of Eurasia Sunburn .
  8. Clunge
    Simple fact of the matter; Muse have five albums, they charge £40-£50 for an arena gig, inc. fees. They should be playing a minimum of 20 songs, or 20 every night. This builds on the 17-19 song precedents set on the Absolution/BH&R tours. End of. Muse are lazy.

    Why wasn't something like this possible then? Uprising Map Of The Problematique Supermassive Black Hole Resistance Hysteria New Born MK Ultra Citizen Erased United States Of Eurasia Ruled By Secrecy Undisclosed Desires Starlight Bliss (Ext.) Time Is Running Out Plug In Baby Unnatural Selection ----- Exogenesis, Pt. 1: Overture Stockholm Syndrome Take A Bow ----- Knights Of Cydonia If that had been the standard/template for the arena tour, I don't think there would have been any beef at all.
  10. Clunge
    I'll tell you what else is such a shame; Muse's refusal to give much stage timd to some of The Resistance's better cuts and by that I mean the whole second half of the album - even Unnatural Selection all but disappeared come the end !
  11. Clunge
    Aye, the way they're playing at the moment is poop. - Matt not playing the intro . - Using a slow click-track . - Lack of beefy guitar tone . - Dull solos (Matt used to alternate tapping, alt. picking, etc, rather than just making random noises). - Nasally, slurred vocals . - No huge wailing scream to cap off the final chorus . - Same outro riffs over and over again . New Born done properly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8e3Amp4SgOY

    Ironically, it was in Australia he made that comment originally .
  13. Clunge
    I think actually, it's the length of these gigs that's bugging me. Muse have five albums, they're renowned as the best live act on the planet, but they play 15 song arena gigs and 20 song stadium sets? I'm afraid flashing lights, pyros and UFOs don't make up for this.
  14. Clunge
    They should just rotate the old songs more. Sunburn, New Born, Plug In Baby, Feeling Good, Time Is Running Out, Hysteria, etc, same old, same old every tour. How about bringing back Muscle Museum, Bliss, Space Dementia, Apocalypse Please, The Small Print, Assassin, etc, instead of these songs?
  15. Clunge
    Undisclosed Desires will go, I'm sure. It wasn't a chart success, it jarrs horribly with the rest of Muse's set and it doesn't work live very well at all. I can't see it sticking around. Guiding Light will go too, like Invincible did. Uprising will most definitely stay as it's monsterous live, one of Muse's best numbers live. Not sure about Resistance, it's a bit middle-of-the-road. I can see United States Of Eurasia staying because like Uprising, it's beefy as a live track and keeps up the piano song quota. As much as I'd love to see Unnatural Selection and MK Ultra stick around, I doubt they will and if one does survive, it'll be Unnatural Selection, for sure. I Belong To You was barely played on The Resistance tour, it's gone already I'd say. Exogenesis is a tough one because Overture did work well as a stand-alone piece. I think it'll be shelved until they can do the whole piece justice live. Order of likeliness in future: Uprising United States Of Eurasia ----- Resistance Unnatural Selection ----- Exogenesis ----- MK Ultra ----- Undisclosed Desires Guiding Light I Belong To You

    Nope, I really think it's a terrible song for a host of reasons; it sounds choppy/thrown together, even for a demo, the lyrics are painfully corny and it just sounds like a continuation of the path Muse have been veering towards in recent years (which is, frankly, not my cuppa). They should just bin it, leave it on the shelf.
  18. Clunge
    Neither. It's just plain awful.

    We used to have a games section but at the end of the day, thread games are just spam really, and with limited board/server capacity, actual discussion in relevant areas takes precedent over what are, largely, pointless games. S'not gonna change, I'm afraid. I much prefer not having loads of elimination threads, etc, cluttering each section of the board up and I'd also much prefer getting rid of them to prevent Doris from dying all the time.
  20. Clunge
    Wow, generalisation much?
  21. Clunge
    Playing to a click track these days really irritates me. New Born in particular, it's so slow these days . Listen to the KROQ 2004 version, it's x100 more exciting, Earls Court 2004 as well.
  22. Clunge
    Correct.
  23. Clunge
    They're using Hysteria to advertise some shitty ITV2 programme about Vampires :'(.
  24. Clunge
    Yay for linguistic ignorance . Tit.
  25. Clunge
    No. Just no.
