  1. So I've been completety screwed over by Big Green Coach. I had a coach booked with them for a friend and myself from Birmingham, but due to "lack of interest", it's been cancelled. Funds aren't looking brilliant, and it's so short notice that I have no clue what to do. Anyone got any suggestions? Cheers if anyone can help! 

  2. I'm definitely not a fan of how this "medley" flows, but it's cool to hear some rarer tracks live in some form, at least. Still a bit shocked that some tracks have been relegated to it though...

     

    Tbf we didn't really have New Born at all on the Drones Tour so...

     

    True, I guess its time is up :(

     

    Dead Cuts have been played on some occasions and fits perfectly.

     

    Of course it's nice to hear bits some of the rare songs we wouldn't get otherwise, but not sure I'm fan of it anyway.

     

    Ah, true that. I just keep forgetting how well Dead Cuts works!

     

    I'm not too sure on the flow of tracks either, but I guess it's much better to be there. I'm sure being present for it is something else entirely

  3. So, I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, so sorry in advance.

     

    Anyway, a YouTube channel called HotChocolateParty, that does parodies of music has decided to do one on Muse. The results are pretty damn hilarious too.

     

     

    I mean, I can't even... I mean, all the tropes are there! :LOL:

  4. So I lent my Dad the album the other day (he's also a Muse fan), and he called me to say he'd listened to it, and his response was... "Yes, that was a very funny joke, and can you give me the real Muse album next time you see me." Needless to say, he can't make up his mind about it yet :LOL:

     

    As for me, I'm still loving ST! I've actually had to force myself to stop listening to it though, because I'm scared I'll overplay it and get bored. Also, got some final track rankings, maybe, I think...

     

    God-tier:

    Algorithm

    The Void/Blockades (can't make up my mind on which I prefer)

    Break It To Me

    The Dark Side

     

    Great:

    Propaganda (although if I'm in the right mood it can be god-tier, and will probably end up there anyway)

    Pressure

    Something Human

     

    OK:

    Thought Contagion

    Dig Down

    Get Up And Fight

     

    Tbh, the more I listen to it, the more all the tracks grow on me. I mean, I wouldn't listen to them outside the full album, but I don't find myself wanting to skip them either. I think the real major flaw with the lesser tracks is that they feel too tame/generic compared to the insanity of the others.

  5. So, it took me a few attempts to get tickets earlier, but it was still easier than I expected. How was it for everyone else? I imagine something along the lines of...

     

    "REEEELOOOOOOOAAAAAAD

     

    CRAAAAAAASSSSSSHHH OOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUT"

     

    (So sorry, I couldn't resist :LOL: )

  6. How? I am asked to select number of tickets but there is no option to do so. Only wheelchair tickets. Very frustrated :(

     

    Actually, just a thought, are you going to the pre-sale tickets page via the link in the members section of the muse.mu site?

  7. Did you go for it? It's generally easy to resell Muse tickets so always worth going for it. And if you end up going on your own stick a post on the board and you might end up with people to hang with at the gig.

     

    I haven't got them yet, I pre-ordered the album from HMV, so I've got to wait until 1pm. Thanks though, I'll keep that in mind, just gotta wait on my friend first. :)

  8. Kind of having a bit of a dilemma about the London show at the moment. One of my friends has dropped out because it's too expensive, and I'm waiting for another to get back to me, but have a feeling she will too. It means I'd be going on my own, so I'm not sure what to do. If I were to get one, I was hoping to get it in the members pre-sale, but I don't think she'll get back to me in time :/

  9. Not that I'm aware.

     

    I'm expecting higher than the £78 my GA ticket cost for the O2 show on the Drones Tour.

     

    Really? Because Rammstein tickets were £75 for GA (after fees and such), so I was expecting/hoping for something around that price-range. Any more expensive, and I don't know if I could justify it, but I really want to see them on this tour!

  10. But it's not really dividing the board, apart from a few songs. Which is crazy, because we have this reputation of all longing for "old Muse". Turns out we just wanted them to be authentic.

     

    Anyway, I think it was Jobby who proposed thanking them earlier, and I really think it would be nice if we can somehow show them our appreciation from the Board. Since we've been quite the critical bunch and I doubt they'll have a peek in here to see how we're liking it.

     

    That's what I meant, really. Guess I worded it a bit too dramatically in my original post. It's great to see the overwhelming positivity going round, it's infectious! I couldn't agree more, it's great that the band are being authentic, and that's why I also love ST so much.

     

    Liking this idea of thanking the band too, sounds like a lovely idea! :)
