  1. I mean, to be fair, I also spotted the bass lights changing a lot, and I also think I spotted a frame where Matt had a guitar for Dead Inside when wandering about before they decided instead to use the guitar-stand and barrier walk thing, but yeah, that was a big one.
  2. Saw it in a cinema in Madrid, where a couple of people did cheer all the songs and during Knights the guy in front was singing to all the riffs. Which was different. I also noted there were laughs at the Something Human snippet, which tbf, I thought looked a bit like full-on 80s cheese. In the whole it sounded good, if as said, some bits were better quality than others (Psycho was pleasingly heavy, whereas the Reapers outro lacked the oomph I felt it had live, for instance), and it mercifully didn't have that weird filter on every shot. I also thought they might have added more stuff to the drones, although I did like the SMBH/Starlight drone illustrations. No Plug in Baby did surprise me if only because I could swear a media article plugging the film referenced the track's inclusion. Also did make me laugh that Matt spent most the video thanking Berlin and referencing being back in Germany, and then right at the end Dom yells "Thank you Milan!" I know it was filmed at both and Amsterdam (although I thought some footage also looked like it came from the London O2 gigs), and that the film clearly wasn't big on continuity, but still...
  3. I'm probably past of the point of hiding my like of the tunes or needing to admit I enjoy them tbf.
  4. Yeah, RiR as in the one in Rio de Janeiro. Don't think Rock in Rio Lisbon is held in odd numbered years anyway. Maybe they'll do some smaller shows in November/December to coincide with the new album, assuming Chris is ready to return to touring duties, and full stuff in 2019. Which does sound like it'll be the focus for Europe, judging by the Instagram posts after RaR and Lisbon.
  5. Clip did sound decent - little processed but strangely less so than Rome or HAARP - but the jump cutty nature does get very disorientating quickly. Bit like it did with Hullabaloo, to some extent, but may well be more so if its masking the audiences being a bit underwhelming around that 360 stage.
  6. I did see Matt respond to an Instagram comment suggesting they should do Rock in Rio in Rio next year with "Good idea", which makes me think they might do the odd one or two. But I would imagine that if they're talking about having full concepts for the new album tour that they're going to be doing their own gigs as a priority. In saying that, we're probably not going to be hearing a great deal until we know about the new LP, plus ofc Chris' recovery means they'll be off the road for the bulk of what's left of 2018 anyway.
  7. Matt told the Irish Independent that Something Human will be out after the Drones Tour movie is released next week, and that its an "intimate" track. Not sure if there's much to go on from him saying its different from the tracks on Drones, mind, given neither Dig Down or Thought Contagion sonically fit in on that LP.
  8. Basically, this. If we're talking the full 17 minutes of the two of them back-to-back (plus also with the Drones tape, adding another 2-3), it would probably be too much. But I don't necessarily mind the idea of a 30-60 second bit of the Globalist riff as an intro, similar to how Maggie's Farm was used a few times on the Absolution Tour as a CE intro.
  9. Didn't they stick a full version of Plug in Baby on YouTube before the Live in Rome film was released?
  10. Oh I'm not saying do the whole of TG - just the centre heavy bit, or at least a snippet. Merely more a suggestion, given I'm not sure bisecting CE to play The Globalist would work. But I do agree CE into Globalist would be a bit exhausting, plus all the instrument switching would be a hell of a faff.
  11. That would be a tonal whiplash and a half. But yeah, it would be pretty impressive. Tbf the real Muse did Starlight into Stockholm on the Resistance tour quite a lot. Didn't work as badly as it sounds on paper, but TIRO or Plug in Baby in-between would work much better.
  12. I'm imagining maybe a couple of small club gigs dotted around the place when the new album comes out, if it is indeed a November release and leading into a full tour next year. But a full request show around the time this new track is released still has potential. In any case, it does sound like they're almost ready to go on the next LP. Would prefer it in Europe if one appears as I couldn't make SBE or La Cigale but I guess its fair that the US gets a crack.
  13. When they were playing the riff as a Stockholm Syndrome outro, it was faster than the Psycho version and still sounded pretty heavy.
  14. Tbf Matt's voice is sounding better than it has done at some recent gigs. But man the sequence after Plug in Baby is a momentum killer.
  15. Anyone else miss the fact they're doing an advance screening of this in London on Monday? Would've entered had I known about it. Probably too late now. EDIT: I've also seen a claim that the band will be in attendance.
  16. Briefly considered going to this before deciding instead on going elsewhere. Sod's law it gets Showbiz. Although saying this, we expecting a rarity?
  17. I liked Matt's Instagram of there being "weird films out this year", if a little surprised the LA cinemas have the trailer on before Solo. Also liked Dom's t-shirt. But only because I have the same one. Tbf, if it is the case it was primarily from that concert, the Berlin setlist wasn't that bad. Even if I doubt that Citizen Erased or Take a Bow are going to sneak into the full cut. Sadly... well maybe TaB has a chance given it used the projection curtains.
