    Agreed. It's the album that got me into Muse and even though it's probably my third favourite of their albums, it still doesn't have one track I dislike.

    Loved that V Festival 2008 show. Brilliant stage setup, the intro with the satellites is one of their best in my opinion, and to top it off the setlist was great.

    When an artist is marked as TBC, it is right about 90% of the time to be fair. So it could very well be them and Kasabian.

    I can't really see them doing a music video for a song that was released about a year and a half ago. Could it be something to do with the possible live DVD release of some of the Drones tour shows?

    On reflection now... maybe a bit of a drag.

    I still think the guitar tone of the Resistance tour was the best. The whole mix on the Paris performance of Stockholm Syndrome and the Seattle show are good examples. T2L and Drones tours tones were good, but couldn't touch TR tour in my opinion.

    Great: Dead Inside, Reapers, The Handler Good: Psycho, Mercy, Defector OK: Aftermath, The Globalist (first verse and heavy part is great, rest is meh) Crap: Revolt, Drones One thing people seem to agree on so far is the best songs on the album.

    I just can't hate Mercy because it's been a highlight of their recent gigs. Even at Download it was a standout moment for me. Yes it may not be Muse's greatest composition when compared with the rest of their catalogue, but live it's a beast.

    Maybe you're right, when I'm home from work the first thing I'll do is try it your way. I think the D-E-F is just to work with the vocals and give it a little bit more of a kick - I guess it's not vital.

    First part of the TIRO chorus is something like this before going into the A minor chord: e----------------------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------------------- G-9---9---9---9--10-10-10-10----7---7---7---7---9--9--10--10- D-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10---10-10-10-10-10-10-10--10- A-8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---10-10-10-10-10-10-10--10- E-8---8---8---8---8---8---8---8---------------------------------------- Don't forget he slides to a C5 chord with the root on the 8th fret just before the octaves too.

    I think Serj had a record company and wanted to sign Muse to it, but they politely declined. There's a picture of them together somewhere circa. the Absolution tour. Assassin and Stockholm Syndrome are the two songs they've said were partly inspired by SOAD.

    Think you're referring to the War Child 2013 gig in London? The board imploded when they played Dead Star that night.

    Not to turn this thread all political, but given the events in the UK today, I wonder just how powerful Uprising will be tonight. We could be seeing "fuck the Leicestershire police" part two.
  17. Picko
    I'll say Glastonbury will get: Psycho Reapers Plug In Baby Dead Inside Resistance The Handler Citizen Erased Supermassive Black Hole Prelude + Starlight Munich Jam Madness [JFK] + Interlude + Hysteria Time Is Running Out Uprising The Globalist Take A Bow Mercy MWAH + Knights of Cydonia

    Pre-2006: My cousins were very much into Muse, and probably even have accounts on here without me knowing they introduced me to Plug In Baby, and I couldn't get over the guitar riff, but I was still slowly getting into music itself - I'd never been that musical when I was young. We then got music channels on TV and I saw the video for Time Is Running Out on The Hits' Kerrang! Takeover. I thought it was insanely catchy so I downloaded it along with Plug In Baby. 06-08: BH&R is released, and I'm indifferent to Supermassive Black Hole at first but still very excited to hear more. I then heard Starlight and it became my favourite song purely because of the piano melody. I went and bought BH&R and then bought tickets to my first Muse gig and had a brilliant night even though I wasn't familiar with half of the tracks (I kick myself that I wasn't able to appreciate songs like Muscle Museum and Butterflies & Hurricanes that night). I went to the first night of Wembley, and it was the best night of my life as I had bought all of their albums by then - Stockholm Syndrome was, and still is, my number one favourite song. The boys were unstoppable and could do no wrong. 09-11: Then they dropped The Resistance. I was happy to hear new stuff, but after the honeymoon period was over I kind of fell out of love with it. I went to a few more gigs as usual and loved all of them, and I remember watching Glastonbury and Reading on TV like an excitable child (apart from having the majority of the Origin set taken away from the BBC Three coverage). 12-14: The coverage and build-up to T2L was exciting as I'd gotten a lot more involved on the messageboard and I had a more in-depth look thanks to everyone here. The shock of Unsustainable, the craziness of Survival, and the divisiveness of Madness were all hot topics. Being at university at the time, the album will always have a special place in my heart as it reminds me of those times. I also remember refusing to leave the house to go out until the War Child gig coverage had ended - the excitement of seeing everyone react to Dead Star both at the gig and on the board was brilliant. The Etihad Stadium gig was also incredible. 15-present: Same with the build up to Drones, but add in the Psycho tour and it just made it all the more special. I love this album, it didn't let me down (mostly), but I do struggle to listen to it at times due to going through a tough break up not long after its release, and memories of my ex are attached to the songs. In time that will pass, but I still come here every so often when I can, and I'll still keep up to speed with setlists and other discussions. However, seeing my tenth Muse gig last month, the show was great as always, but it felt a bit stale in the midsection - I just hope it's not my subconscious telling me that I've been to enough Muse gigs and they don't excite me as much any more. If they shake up the setlist like they did for Download and Manchester Academy, then I will be among the first in the queue for those types of shows.

    I'll try and be realistic here: Psycho The Handler New Born (+ Microphone Fiend riff + Ashamed riff) (Interlude) + Hysteria Bliss Dead Star (+0123 riff) Citizen Erased United States Of Eurasia [Munich Jam] Dead Inside Map Of The Problematique (+ Who Knows Who riff) Supermassive Black Hole Time Is Running Out Uprising Reapers Stockholm Syndrome (+ Township Rebellion riff) The Globalist Take A Bow Mercy Knights Of Cydonia

    Stockholm Syndrome is my absolute favourite song. Seen it nine times live and it's consistently one of the stand out songs of the night in terms of audience reaction. In my opinion it's heresy that it's not a staple in the set. Usually I'm at the front in the mosh pit when it's played, but watching it from a bit of a distance at Download allowed me to just appreciate it in a different way. I think that song was the moment when Download sceptics realised that Muse had found the perfect balance of heaviness and melody, that they were a perfect fit to headline.

    Given the hope of Assassin being played in Belfast, I feel for those who went with their expectations raised Now I'm hoping it just pops up tomorrow in Manchester, along with Stockholm Syndrome.
