  1. Happy to see you scored a ticket! I was able to get one for NYC during the presale, super grateful to be seeing them at all during this tour! Now to brace myself for the 10 hour flight to New York…
  2. They might have done that to give local residents a fair shake. Some of the bigger shows that come through Hawai‘i do the same thing.
  3. I was trying for this show since I had never been to Toronto, but you needed a Canadian billing address to purchase tickets to that show and you couldn't use PayPal, so that could have been a deterrent.
  4. Hawaii fans: I'm hosting a listening party for The 2nd Law on September 18 at Amuse Wine Bar. That's right - listen to Muse at Amuse. Come by to hear the album, meet local Muse fans, eat some good food and win some awesome Muse swag! Space is limited, so please RSVP on Facebook or email hawaiimusers@gmail.com. THIS EVENT IS FREE! 21+ only, please. The Ice Garden at Amuse Wine Bar is located on the second floor of the Honolulu Design Center (1250 Kapiolani Blvd) - the orange building on Kapiolani Blvd, kitty corner from Ala Moana Center. Ample free parking is available in the design center structure; enter from Piikoi Street.
  5. Hey, just checking to see if you got my CD mix in the post yet? I sent it a long while ago.

  6. Here's a survey where you can vote for Muse (and other bands) to possibly come to Hawaii: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QNDZHML
  7. Thanks! Happy Valentine's Day to you, too!

  8. Are you planning to visit Austin during South by Southwest in March? I'll be there with most of my coworkers for the whole 11 days. :)

  9. Nope we're not queuing till like an hour or two before doors. At the pub with some Musers right now actually.

  10. I haven't logged onto the boards in forever so apologies for the very delayed response! My friends and I are indeed in London at the moment and are seeing Muse both nights! Hopefully we'll somehow run into each other there!

  11. I don't think blaming Twilight is accurate, though Twilight is the medium through which many more people found out about Muse. Matt wrote that song right after he broke up with his long-time girlfriend, according to an interview. And Muse has been on this trajectory of music for quite some time now. To me, it's a new low for the band in terms of the quality of the songwriting. Poorly written lyrics mixed with a concoction of recycled stuff from their past songs ("Snowflakes in the ocean" instead of "droplets"; KoC rhythm during the verse; cheesy USoE-reminiscent intro). It's not so much because of Twilight as much as where Muse is setting themselves up in their careers, really.
  12. Oooh, thanks for that catch! I was wondering if NSC had leaked! UD has become one of my favorites off the new album. IMHO Muse is at their best when they do straight-up rock, though.
  13. You listened to the whole song? Muse, dumbing it down for the masses. No, for the most part, they haven't been choosing different songs every night - that's the whole beef. Check out the Resistance Tour thread and catch up on what you've been missing. MK Ultra was only played nine times (out of 20-something dates) the entire North American tour; Ruled by Secrecy was played only twice; and they only played Bliss once. Here's where I've been getting the statistics for the tour. Notice on many of the gigs, it says "see (this place)" - meaning they've been recycling setlists. Musefail.
  14. A 30-second clip and it's already one of your favorite songs? We don't like the Twilight connection, but there's also hate for it because it could *potentially* be one of their weakest songs and we know Muse can do better. Same reason why there's beef about their US tour. But again... we've only heard 30 seconds of NSC. Good choices. A shame they don't play MK and Dead Star more often.
  15. Which thread was this, the NSC thread? I kept seeing disappointed status updates or comments from my Muser friends about the clip earlier today. I seriously only saw one person who liked it. But maybe that says something about the Muser friends I have. The release is only a few days away so we'll see.
  16. A bit cheesy, right? I'm fully expecting the worst... but hoping for the best. Though... remember when people were saying the song "Resistance" would be shit after hearing the :30 sample of it? Then it turned out to be not such a bad song after all. I'm trying to hold judgment until I hear the whole thing. The :30 sample of NSC does not bode well, though.
  17. Actually, some venues won't even let you in with a large bag like a backpack. Like everyone else said, if you need to bring extra stuff with you for the queue, go back to your car about an hour before doors to put it all away.
  18. Thank you! And the visuals are stunning! Definitely, if you want to be as close to the band as possible and right in the action! Try to be as close to the middle as possible for the best view (like the Houston photo).
  19. I can't speak for jurrassitol, but I have a similar shot from Houston: Compare with a similar shot from Phoenix: At both shows, I was right on the barrier, right in front of Matt's tower, though I was more at an angle in Phoenix, as you can see from the second pic. All three pics I posted were during Exogenesis. Look through all my pictures here because it'll give you a well-rounded idea of how my view was like, which was awesome, save for that one picture of Matt. This is probably my favorite pic of Matt, which I took in Houston:
  20. Hey, I've been okay, I guess, keeping busy. Nope, definitely not planning on going to any gigs after London, unless they come to Hawaii like Tom Kirk said...
