A mate of mine bought his standing ticket yesterday from See Tickets.
Now the link on the tour section of the Muse website takes you to Ticketmaster (where it now says standing is sold out), but there is no mention of See Tickets. I'm guessing it'll be a legit ticket too if it's through See Tickets, won't it?
-
If they do Prince then won't they just do Sign O' The Times?
-
That was a brilliant gig. I finally got to see Showbiz live and the metal medley was insane.
Yes the flow of the medley wasn't perfect but I personally think that's nitpicking. The band is growing away from its old sound, so the best thing to do to keep people happy is to play the best parts of their heavier songs. It was really intense in the pit for that, my neck still hurts. Now it'll be interesting to see if they shake it up a little throughout the tour.

Times changed - 10pm curfew now, instead of 11. Knew something was up
Bloody hope they’re not late on if the slot’s that slim though, especially looking at that only 30min changeover time between acts for the techies to get things set up...
Edit: oh it’s only 10pm ‘approximately’ so they probs have license to go over if needs be, nevermind
Ah crap, there goes my faint hopes of a super long set filled with rarities
two and a half hours is a long set for anyone though. -
Yungblud is supporting Muse then, according to the RAH website.
Never heard of him, but listening to him now... he reminds me a bit of Twenty One Pilots. Best way to describe him is alternative pop with a bit of guitar thrown in.
-
Oh wow, yeah, just seen that’s the schedule on the RAH site.
Hm. Surprised at support, figured there wouldn’t be one if it was still unnannounced this late in the day tbh. Wonder how rough/subject to chance that all is tbh ‘cos Muse defo aren’t playing for 2 and a half hours, maybe they meant 9:30
if it is a slightly longish slot though...album in full?Yeah it went up on the site on Friday I think.
Album in full doesn't seem out of the question to be fair, maybe followed by the usual live songs a la Reading/Leeds. Would prefer it if they just mix it in with their other songs instead, personally.
-
Surely there'll be something special at the gig?
7:30pm Support
8:00pm Interval
8:30pm Muse
11:00pm Event ends
I doubt they'll actually play for two and a half hours, but a set that will go at least beyond two hours hardly screams "generic setlist".

yeah you're right, I left some out.

Go to your rooms and think about what you've done.

Or a 3 hour set
I didn't consider that, but that's because I can't see it happening
-
Anyone know if there will be a support act for this gig? Doors open fairly early if I remember correctly, so I imagine there is space for a support in there.

nice

Just heard it all the way through, and I am very impressed! From the singles I already loved Thought Contagion, Something Human and Pressure.
Algorithm surely has to open their gigs now, it's incredible. Reminded me a bit of NIN at the start.
Propaganda is going to take a few listens to appreciate I think...
Break It To Me is another highlight - it's like sexy Korn or something. Love the guitar work.
Get Up And Fight... now I'm a sucker for pop with a hook, so I actually enjoyed it! Nowhere near as bad as I expected, and the subject matter gives it a whole other dimension.
Blockades is Muse by numbers. Good, but not mind blowing.
The Void though, brilliant. Great closer.
I love the Alternate Reality versions of all the songs too, as well as acoustic Something Human.
Muse have really surprised me here. I went in with low expectations until the leak happened and the majority raved about it, and I'm glad I agree with the majority. An enjoyable record.
-
Saddens me a smidge to see how some are treating GUAF, considering the subject matter. I get that I’m in the minority by really liking it and it’s fine if it’s other people’s least favourite but some of it’s ‘reviews’ are a bit....blunt, to say the least.
I've just heard it... and I actually quite like it. I'm well aware I'm in the minority though
-
These songs are much more fun than Madness. More along the lines of SMBH and MotP. They're not exactly rocking, but they're done in a way where I don't think you'll mind.
ETA: Actually, Blockades might fit what you're looking for.
MOTP is probably in my top 10 Muse songs so I don't mind that at all.
Been hearing about some RATM influence on Break It To Me too, so I'm excited for that. Even if it's not "heavy" it sounds like it's got that funk to it.
-
I wouldn’t say so, no. TC is one of the heaviest rock songs on the album, put it that way. You can get a headbang going to bits of BITM and Blockades though.
Gotta be 100% honest though, I didn’t even really notice the lack of that ‘til I made this reply. It’s really not missed imo, album reeeally works for what it is.
Okay, appreciated. Still looking forward to hearing it!
As long as you can dance to the songs and they won't suck the life out of a gig.
-
I'm waiting until tomorrow to hear the album. It's great to see so much positivity on the board though!
I don't want to come across like a "old/heavy Muse is best Muse" fan, but are there any rockier or mosh pit moments on the album at all? Don't get me wrong I love a lot of Muse's pop songs, but I just feel that they're at their best when they rock out (especially live), hence why I was a fan of Drones (well, most of it).
I just hope the pop/synth flavour that's been described by everyone doesn't weigh too heavily on future setlists and we don't get all the new stuff alongside Madness et al.
-
I don't get how Muse don't understand the problem with Reapers. I remember Tom also tweeting about it, wondering why nobody moshed to it.
It's in my top 10 Muse songs but live, it's not provoking much of a reaction. The way the song is structured, it hasn't got that tempo that gets people jumping up and down. It's just one of those songs you just have to watch and admire. It's only at the end when the crowd reacts and the mosh pits start. I'm sad they've stopped playing it, and it doesn't look like it'll be coming back any time soon...

See you all in arena standing!

I predict a certain amount of friction for that evening.
No matter what Gallagher thinks of Muse's music, I don't think there's any bad blood. I remember seeing a picture of Liam hanging out with Dom and the Spice Girls after the Olympics closing ceremony.
-
I listened to Bleed American for the first time in ages last week.
Still an A+++ album.
Brilliant record. Hear You Me is definitely in my top ten songs.

I guess you would know, what with your avatar.
And what an avatar it is.

I'd imagine they'll try and do the same thing they did with Glastonbury - play Reading on the Friday so they'll have headlined each of the days... if they're really that fussed about such a thing.
Muse were the first act to headline each of the three days at Glastonbury so could it be the same for Reading?
So it'd be:
Saturday - 2006
Sunday - 2011
Friday - 2017

They used Psycho earlier this week too.
two and a half hours is a long set for anyone though.

Thanks for clarifying. I knew they were legit since I've used them before, but I wasn't sure if they were an official ticket site for this tour since they're not mentioned on the Muse website.
