[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

9 gigs, really? no wonder you complain so much Who needs to see the same band on the same tour so many times? I saw them three times (arena, stadium and a festival) and I thought it was more than enough, even excessive.

 

I also found this fucked up and brought it up a while back. No wonder he's the most vocal about repetitive set-lists.

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

I'm hoping that they will have learnt from most of the mistakes they made this tour. Every band will have a low point, let's hope this was muses.

 

(in before dee tells me I'm wrong)

 

Probably a success in their eyes

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

Yes, it really is.

 

You always hear people saying "omg the Invincible solo is amazing, it's the best thing ever" when in reality it's just basic tapping to make a shit song slightly more exciting. Big deal.

 

Well, you mustn't think much of his other solos then!

 

(Not that I agree that difficulty level is the only gauge on whether a solo is a good one)

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

Glasto '04 tone > all other points of Muse history.

 

Do you mean you prefer the distortion mic?...

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

When I heard the New Born that was played at Leeds University in 2001 on youtube it sounded too fast haha! I must be used to their slower version... But in all honesty it doesn't bother me, I think there are other more important areas (guitar tone, matt's more powerful voice and in my opinion, nicer tone) to me that make the more recent versions (only where matt's playing the piano), like L&R '11, Teignmouth '09, Berlin '09, the best versions of the song I've heard!

Why does everyone hate Resistance?

 

I was joking on both occasions but I really dislike the song.

 

The song's fine until the chorus kicks in.

 

 

For the next tour I wouldn't mind if they keep USoE. I'd like it played with a piano outro (not the Chopin piece), maybe the instrumentals to Exo. 3?

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

I heard boos when Undisclosed Desires started at Leeds Fest.

 

That was me.

 

Hear the ones for 'Resistance' too?

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

I would absolutely love a Muse gig at Brixton, whether it's for an album launch or anything else...favourite gig venue ever by a long way!

 

What's so good about it?

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

Not very hard. Muse are quite overpriced and Khoma are brilliant.

 

How much do you expect to pay to see muse?

[Speculation on future gigs/tours]

I think they should have a better balance of smaller/larger venues for the next tour, you know, more Shepherd Bush sized gigs.

Have to agree that is the best performance of sunburn.

New Born, Reading 2007.

 

Nah, the one I sang in the bathroom this morning is the best version

I can't get over how awesome the last chorus is.

My favourite version of Muscle Museum:

3 mins in, it's unbelievable. It seems a more sincere performance than most MM performances I've seen. Also you can hear the final notes far better than on the Astoria performance

Hey now. I love Exo-Politics.

 

I've always liked Exo-Politics too. I don't understand the hate it gets.

 

Exo-Politics>MK Ultra

 

YES!

[Best Live Performance of any one song]

I dunno, I quite like the versions from 2008 (V-fest, RAH...) where he used the kaoss pad on his guitar for the bit between synth and guitar - sounded pretty sweet. Thought his vocals were marginally better as well.

Best version of microcuts.

[Which Muse song have you recently discovered or rediscovered the awesomeness of?]

Darkshines.

 

Listening a lot to it recently - making sure I know the lyrics for Leeds fest .

[Best Live Performance of any one song]

Fuji Rock Festival 2010 is imo the best version of KoC

Edit: Tried to embed the video but couldn't work out how so here is the url anyway

 

I embedded that video earlier on in this thread. Absolutely agree with you. BEST. VERSION. EVER!

Best version purely on his vocals alone.

[Best Live Performance of any one song]

Citizen Erased at Wembley '10.

New Born at Teignmouth '09 but the outro to the Wembley '07 one is epic.

[Share your controversial Muse opinions II - More Radiohead talk]

Actually one of the most interesting things I find on the new album is how many different singing styles he has.

[Share your controversial Muse opinions II - More Radiohead talk]

I don't think the Stockholm Syndrome at Glasto '04 is the best version. The sound quality of both the instrumentals and vocals are horrible. Okay Matt looks a bit angry and it conveys into his playing but jesus does the sound hurt my ears.

 

I actually think the Stockholm Syndromes of this tour have been the best I've heard.

 

ACTUALLY I think his vocals are the best I've heard from him on this tour. So much of a nicer tone. Just listen to falsetto in the chorus for CE at Wembley to see what I mean.

[Most Underrated Song?]

Exo-Politics. I really do believe it's better than any song on their new album.
