  1. I recorded BBC NI News last night and it wasn't mentioned. I can't get UTV here but I'll look for it online. I didn't see anything yesterday on belfasttelegraph.co.uk. Was it in the print version? Which day? I'll ask my sister to send it here if she got it; if not, she can ask around. Thanks!:D

     

    To be fair Stormont is going to shit at the minute so I think Newsline/UTV are more focused on that, haha. I think it will be in the Thursday print because the tickets went on sale then, and there was prob something in Monday's print as a review.

    Try the Tele fb page, and the Love Belfast page - they def had something on it!

    • I'm furious that neither the belefasttelegraph.co.uk nor BBC1 NI News even mentioned that one of the biggest bands in the world played in Belfast on Sunday.:mad: Was there anything in the local papers?

     

    UTV and Belfast Tele among others had posts about it on their fb pages, and radio stations mentioned it too.

     

    I was towards the back of the hall, and all I heard was something about 1979 and then 'the Troubles'. My friend and I were a bit lolwut and a couple of people joked 'awkwaaard' but that's it. Lets tuck our ovaries back in and move on.

     

    Still over the moon with the set we got.

  2. Wish Matt still sang the chorus to Hyper Music. I really dislike Chris' live vocals, they're always so quiet.

     

    Predictions for tonight:

    Dead Star instead of Hyper Music

    Yes Please instead of Agitated

    Futurism instead of Fury

    Muscle Museum instead of Uno

     

    The rest stays the same

     

    I think you're spot on. I cannot believe just how good Fury is live.

  3. If I was there for the Assassin thing I would have gone into the biggest rage.

     

    Don't you need the funny bass with the weird high string on it ...

     

    In his defense he was right.

     

    I would have been pretty fucking pissed though. Assassin is one hell of a fucking song.

     

    I did go into the biggest rage, haha. I have never been that cross at a Muse gig! I expected it to all go to shit after that, UD etc. Thankfully that was not the case. My twitter makes good reading on reflection this morning, hahah.

  4. Thanks for the update! What did you think of Reapers?

     

    I really liked it but it goes on for ages haha, outro is good and the vids aren't doing it a lot of justice, it's heavier IRL. Oh and Psycho is brill live.

     

    Hmm, so it's unlikely to pop up on this tour then? :(

     

    So he says! You know what he's like though, never take him at face value lol I saw an copy of tonight's set earlier on and Assassin wasn't actually on it...pity though because what he did play was perfect!

  5. We got a pretty great setlist...but I can't help but feel gutted because we came SO CLOSE to getting Assassin played. :LOL:

     

    I was so, so cross that he backed out.

    Still gutted just thinking about it but such is life, it was an epic set aside from that!

  6. Great set - the sets from 2012 onwards have been so good but this is a step beyond. Is it true they tried to play Assassin and gave up? Guess there's a good chance it'll get added in tomorrow for me then.

     

    Basically Matt said he had read the hashtag on twitter #AssassinForBelfast and he tried it, gave it three attempts then backed out. He said they'll have it sorted for when they come back here on the tour. It wasn't a 'teaser' as such, I genuinely think he bailed because he wasn't sure if he'd mess it up or not.

    He looked verrrrrry nervous at points, esp before Reapers - lots of deep breaths.

     

    Also re: The Troubles stuff - it was Matt who had a family member shot (his uncle, I think). I think a lot of it was lost in translation because of the chatting in the crowd so all we heard was something about the Troubles in 1979 and then Uprising started. It was a little awkward but sure, no harm was meant.

     

    Best Muse gig I have ever been to and I'm glad we missed the garbage of TR and T2L.
