    Mighty no. 9 just came out and you're surprised people can be disappointed in something they funded.

    I've been searching myself. About to go through just every performance. It was in a compilation video that's been taken down since then. It likely wasn't in the US though. Plug In Baby was barely played in the US that tour.

    Close.

    Anyone have that performance of Plug In Baby where Matt just runs back and forth across the stage and mic during the chorus? That was very fun to watch. It was a 2nd Law arena concert.

    The motion tracking could still work with a basic stage too. [YT] [/YT]

    The lack of a proper screen really empties out the stage in appearance. Despite being their most ambitious arena stage most of the time it looks like their sparsest. And wow that crowd.

    When does it start?

    I finally caught up on the chat database so it'll be ready by next concert. I was unfortunately out during this one.

    I'm out of school now so maybe I can bring back the chat.

    Weren't Matt's recent favorites Madness and The Globalist?

    It's fair since the US arenas were usually 2nd. It got to switch up for once.

    Because not all Americans go to the same concerts. Shows in general have gotten softer. Bands I saw long ago have weaker crowds today. That doesn't mean I don't leave from some concerts sweat drenched and beat. When I saw Muse in 2010 people were pushing, jumping, and the usual. Not as much as Europe, but still enough to what you'd expect. I was shoved around the floor quite a bit. New Born and MK Ultra got the biggest reactions. The queue was basically all the black dressed alternative kids who probably liked nu-metal at some point in their lives. This was before Madness, Uprising was still rising in popularity, and all they really had was Twilight. 2015 there were small patches of jumping people, and that was it. The barrier was dead. I left the concert completely energized because I spent almost none of it on the floor. That's not a small difference. Their audience really has changed but I'm making the point that it's not an inevitable result of any band that wants to come to the United States.

    This place is pretty positive about the later albums. Those that quit mostly head to Banter. Not like Muselive where they all stuck around in the main discussion.
  16. kueller
    The discussions are fair right now. Whining is annoying but discussion is not required to be positive. As do I really. I also think they've shown they can have big productions and still deliver in performance. No need for them to be exclusive.

    Lyrics was too specific. But people, even me, have seen those that are cometely out of it except for Madness. This was NOT the case years ago. This is not US crowds, this is US Muse crowds and it has not been forever. There's also more than just being disappointed in a gig. I've loved most of the gigs I went to. But the past THREE tours have had very distinct drops in quality in the US. I'm more than happy to give them the benefit of the doubt, and still am as far as their motives are, but the favoritism is undeniable now. That hurts more than just a bad setlist. It's something deeper. Also people tried to communicate in the Q&A but that was denied apparently.

    QOTSA and NIN concerts I've been to have energy and there's a good amount of people that clearly know every song, especially in the latter's concerts. Muse at some point had something similar, but did very little to keep it. That's not my fault, nor my responsibility to change it. I hate setlist "quality" obsessions but you have to admit for a band who pulled off Download, something like Starlight>Feeling Good>Madness>UD>Revolt is very dull in comparison.

    Self-inflicted problems.

    I believe Matt after the Psycho Tour also talked positively on the experience, as well as shows like Download.
  21. kueller
    They always mention how much they like stripping back when they do it. They always talk about how much they like just rocking out to the rockier songs when they do it. They even made an album with the intention of capturing the above two points (and for the most part they succeeded). But when they actually start proper touring that's all gone.

    Lucky you.

    If there's Assassin you can join me in bitter resentment.

    Your complaints are formatted similar to mine so I can understand. I enjoyed the concerts, but there's that disappointment when you know they can do more. I've never been to anything close to the level of Werchter, but still seen some good performances. It's like you know Muse can do better and it wouldn't take much. I also had to sit through the same SMBH>Starlight>Feeling Good>Madness>Revolt run this tour. If you ever needed a masterclass on how to kill the mood from the opening songs that was it.

    No he wasn't.
