    The State of the Muse Board

    in Other Muse Topics

    Posted

    You haven't been silenced. You've been told multiple times where to direct your complaints and yet you voice them here as if you're standing in public with a megaphone screaming about being silenced. A mod even asked you to send him examples of the injustice and unfit behavior by Niall, yet you keep telling us to just go and find it ourselves.

     

    You're the one with the accusations, the burden of proof is on you.

    Sounds like you're just jealous that they contacted Niall and not you. :LOL:

    I thought that was clear from his very first post:

    I have been following this Origin of Muse thread, and in the last few Day's reading most of admin Niall's posts and threads on this site. it took me a while.

    which is why I have now become a member.

    why would Muse management ask Niall for help with the Origin of Symmetry project?

    other fan sites would know who the real hardcore collectors out there are.

    why not ask them?.

     

    other members should read all his posts and judge for themselves.

    the real collectors out there will pick up on his mistakes.

    hope Muse management read this.

    not the sort of person you really want working for your website.

    all the best, Lyle.

    :LOL:

     

    Basically this person saw Niall say that management had asked him for help, so he went into Niall's post history, fueled by rage.

    C'mon, TDS is probably one the best "Musest" songs made by them in recent times.

    It has melodies and progressions that hark back to their Showbiz/OOS days without sounding like a tired rehash or shameless fan-service, but giving a new twist to their traditional sound.

    Which isn't quite the case with Blockades, IMO. It's a good song that tries to follow the aforementioned philosophy of TDS, but to me it ends up being a bit "by-the-numbers", like a Muse song that tries too hard to be such.

    Recent days don't compare to OoS or Abso though (overall).

     

    It's interesting how Blockades is seen as fanservice but The Dark Side isn't, even though The Dark Side was basically compared to every single Muse song that people loved. Even Matt admitted that it was pretty much created out of earlier Muse songs.

    Yeah I wouldn't mind that much if they actually played the songs they wanna play but during the Drones tour it became clear Muse actually wanted to play songs like Reapers, but didn't enjoy the audience reaction so they became more hesitant to do so.

    And I get why Muse won't do it but it still angers me that they won't just say "fuck it" and play the songs they wanna play until the crowd that is literally only there to hear 2 songs takes the hint and fucks off.

     

    If they wanna play the biggest venues in the world by catering to the people who will start a phone conversation if a non-single is played, then they can't really complain about people's reactions.

     

    Or, like I said in a more elaborate way in this old post:

    Because that brings me back to what I said last page or something, which is that they're simply choosing the wrong singles. Sure Madness, Undisclosed Desires, Mercy etc are a shortcut to stadium gigs. But if what Muse really wanna do is play the rock stuff, then they gotta promote that side of themselves. (Just to bring you up to speed, last tour Matt complained that the audience didn't know their songs so they were forced to play singles).

     

    This is why I think the problem isn't just about "changing" as a band and growing older, because songs like The Handler, Psycho, Reapers, Supremacy, Animals, Liquid State etc aren't that different from their older stuff. The problem is that Muse are promoting themselves as a pop group, then they get disappointed when these new fans of Madness and Follow Me aren't reacting well to Stockholm Syndrome and New Born. Like...you can't have both. Either you (Muse) stand for being a pop group and just play the hits for as many years as you can, or you stop catering to people you don't enjoy playing for.
