[NA Tour 2017 General Discussion Thread]

I was at the show last night, my band won a competition to earn a spot at Firefly so I was able to get into the front row, ran into Elle before the show and Matt threw me a guitar pick 😬😬 it was enough to counteract the setlist lol, went backstage as soon as there were done but they apparently walked right off stage into a car and were gone 😒

Link?

 

Didn't see the one from early yesterday, but after the show last night he posted on instagram and someone said something about coming to Australia and he responded something along the lines "working on it, may only get to Sydney and Melbourne"

I'd still consider Bliss a rarity in the US, even though it's starting to become a semi regular on this tour, Map on the other hand is not a rarity at all, seen it 4 out of 6 shows, but I'm just so completely over seeing Resistance live at this point and Map is just a way better song

Looks like St Louis got MOTP tonight

[NA Tour 2017 General Discussion Thread]

Varies often afaik. He's using one with a whammy atm though.

 

True, didn't catch that yet, wonder if he used that at Tampa i couldn't see the guitar too well from my pov but I remember enjoying the sustainiac squeals in that particular spot lol

[NA Tour 2017 General Discussion Thread]

He uses the sustainiac to make the notes squeal yeah but also has fun with the whammy bar while doing it.

 

Hm, thought he used one of the black mansons without the whammy bar for that song

[NA Tour 2017 General Discussion Thread]

Really big fan of the alterations Matt's made to the Psycho bridge by using the whammy bar.

 

I agree that does sound pretty awesome, i believe that's the sustainiac pick up he's doing that with though

Soooo I made the mistake of looking up prices for the tickets in Atlanta tomorrow. $10 on Stibhub for GA Lawn. Trying to think of a good reason not to jump on this and make the 2 hour drive.

 

Might as well just do it, regardless of all the setlist woes (which I completely admit to complaining about on here in 90% of my posts) I still had a great time at the Tampa set, it is still Muse after all, also drunkenly rocked out to playback NKOK 😓 Sorry guys?

[NA Tour 2017 General Discussion Thread]

I should've known something was going on when they posted that "Time to discuss tonight's set list" instagram story. I'm okay with having missed Motp in Tampa as I saw it on my Drones tour show but would still take it over Resistance any day, Bliss hurts though especially since they apparently soundchecked it in Tampa but didn't end up playing it, Why do you do this to me Muse

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

Just left Tampa, SS with Reapers intro AND outro was pretty cool as I was expecting the handler, would've loved Dead Inside but haven't seen UD since 2012 in London 😬😬

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

So Matt was using the acoustic for UD according to setlist.fm, also why is isolated system still around lol

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

It was obvious what the band thought about their fans back when they started talking shit about their own forum fans, and again recently when they admitted that they refused to play even a single song in their setlists for them.

 

The irony is it leaves them with a casual fan base, and then the band acts pissy when they don't get the crowd reaction that hardcore fans would give them.

 

Exactly, it seems like for a while they do (almost) everything to cater to their "casual" fans, then matt acts completely dumbfounded that no one goes nuts at their shows any more, although I do really think the in the round stage set up seriously prevented much of that

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

Going to the show in Tampa (Sunday night) going to try my absolute hardest not to peek at the previous nights setlist and just go into it not knowing what they'll play, because Itll be easier to except in case it's a complete singles fest

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

The shadeeeeee

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

Wait, better than Drones as a whole, or Drones' highs? Reapers and The Handler are streets ahead of everything on T2L (except possibly maybe Animals).

 

I'd put Supremacy alone over a good amount of songs on Drones (defector, revolt,aftermath,globalist, mercy)

 

Although I guess nows not the time for a T2L vs Drones discussion, I haven't gotten to dive into Dig Down too much yet as my wifi at work is being terrible, but have the band been saying anything interesting in their interviews does anyone know? Any more music on the way semi soon?

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

Yeah I always thought T2L had the best production, I don't have the best of speakers in my car and it sounds absolutely incredible compared to the other albums, but I also do agree UD is one of their best sounding ones too, it almost has the same feel as T2L's mixing/mastering

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

 

 

 

I wasn't really paying much attention throughout the US tour but would be interested to know - what songs were US crowds reacting to?

 

Resistance 😒 Atleast at the show in Philly the crowd was loving it, which unfortunately gives that song an even longer live lifespan

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

They're rehearsing Undisclosed Desires?

 

Lame.

 

Wondering if that was actually the song they're rehearsing in the picture or just a fun little play on words, Matt's using the acoustic in the pic so I wonder how he'd work that into the song lol, also #teamUD

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

Sounds a little too low quality to be legit lol, and the kitara part literally sounds like it's grabbed from the instagram video

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

So They just posted a picture of them rehearsing Dig Down, looks like Chris is using the kitara bass, interesting ..

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

All about colorful asthetic Muse/ summer pop vibes, hoping that also means a return of Panic Station at the Tampa show 😎

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

Was hoping for Monday or Tuesday not next Thursday

 

Also how are people already upset about the song based on the title? If there was a song on Showbiz or Origin called Dig Down no one would bat an eye

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

is/was NSC really that bad?

 

any redeeming qualities?

 

I always thought that last 30 seconds or so when it breaks into that little piano run with Matt's random moaning sounds pretty nice lol

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

there's this too:

 

Hmm, "meeting" doesn't sound like it means it's being released today but I'd love to be proven wrong, I just checked and it looks like Dead Inside and Madness were both premiered on a Monday so who knows what will happen

[Album Eight: Simulation Theory]

Well Matt just posted him and Dom are at Jonesy Juke Box, which I don't know much about other than it's a radio station and it's featured in the beginning of the R U Mine? Video lol, maybe it's debuting today? Seems a little too quick though based on the "coming soon" post this morning
