I preferred the previous riff but I imagine it'll all sound good put together. Being a System of a Down fan I'm not aversed to a bit of shouting. I'm just glad it's looking to be an album of riffs and guitars.

Honestly, I've either fallen out of love with music entirely, or I'm suffering from the same fatigue.
I don't have fun pouring through what I can find out there and just not having it connect with me.
I just assumed I was getting old.
We should have some sort of thread about this (maybe there's one already?) because I have the exact same problem to be honest. I do still obviously buy music but it's mostly older bands (i.e at least ten years ago).
I occasionally try bands I hear people talking about on here or elsewhere but I tend to find them a bit uninspiring. I pretty much also assumed I was getting old as well. I think the issue is that growing up with grunge & britpop which is very "heart on your sleeve" type music I find stuff like Royal Blood a bit detached sounding. I'm up for suggestions from people who are more up to speed obviously.

Thoughts of a Dying Atheist
Soldier's Poem
Undisclosed Desires
Save Me
From any album:
Overdue
Undisclosed Desires
Thoughts of a Dying Atheist
Falling Away With You
Uno
Not set in stone but there you go.

Just listened to Citizen Erased for the first time in ages. It's been my favourite Muse song for ages but I had overplayed it, going back it still definitely deserves the number one spot.
-
Thanks, you're right that is pretty brief.

Sorry if this doesn't require a new thread, but I'm watching Twin Peaks at the moment and have been trying to find a recording of Muse playing Laura Palmer's Theme and have had no luck.
Unfortunately in the riffs and jam series of videos on youtube here -
- part two doesn't work due to a copyright claim. Does anyone know of a recording available anywhere? -
The only things that immediately come to mind are:
- That video of some girls freaking out when Micro Cuts got soundchecked one time.
- Pretty much all the extreme boy band moments from the stadium tour (eg Madness)
- That video of some girls freaking out when Micro Cuts got soundchecked one time.

I've been lucky with the songs I've seen but I'm missing these five and would love to see them:
1. Hate This & I'll Love You
2. Showbiz
3. Shine (lol, good luck)
4. I Belong to You
5. City of Delusion

This. TiRo is the song that got me into Muse, but that aside I struggle to see how someone who likes the band could hate it
I'd have to agree that it's kind of boring. When it first came out I pretty much just thought "Oh right Muse are doing radio-filler festival singalongs now I guess."
-
I'm not calling the band pretentious, and it doesn't matter what they thought when they recorded the song, it's what it sounds like.
To Dockertae: I just don't get what your on about as I have never made any statments concerning what "real" music is.
I'm assuming from this the pretentious discussion started because you said something was pretentious? I wasn't referring to you in my post.
-
When I hear Muse getting called pretentious it's usually coming from people with very specific ideas about what "real" music is, ironically.
-
Could anyone tell me where the best place would be to get a full list of 2nd Law tour pro-shots (if such a thing exists)?
-
So is the idea here that the band will see the petition and realise that the fans were looking forward to this, making them want to do it for the fans? My understanding of petitions is that you use them to basically force people to take action on some matter for PR reasons basically. If it's to force them to do it I'm not sure what the point is.
I don't really have strong feelings about this, but I don't think the band would pay any attention to an internet petition personally.
-
First I've heard of that.
It's certainly a thing where I am, and it seems that's what Jobby was referring to as well.I don't know how widespread it is.
-
Are you doubting his knowledge of the time in his own country?
Maybe it's a UK thing but April Fool's normally stops at midday. Based on the gig's in that guys sig I have to assume it's not before midday where he is.
-
What? I hope I haven't said something wrong or anything?
Unless I'm misreading things I think it's that half the eight songs you listed have been played on the 2nd Law tour.
-
but....
You've lost me.
-
The RAH one has been autotuned.
I know, I listened to the bootleg before it was released. I still prefer it, it's just like, my opinion man.
I would like the 2011 ones best if it wasn't for the fact he consistently failed to do the end right.
-
I'd say the main reason to why Hyper Music at Le Zenith sounds a bit crap is the guitar. That tone is so weak.
It's stuff like this I mean really. For instance Hullabaloo's Megalomania he's on a little keyboard and really struggling to sing the end it seems, whereas the RAH one has a lot more power.
-
What...Hullabaloo has some of the best performances of many of the songs on the setlist. The exceptions would be some of the songs they've played a ton, but no one watches Hullabaloo for New Born, PiB etc...
Don't get me wrong I would love to see that gig and I don't think it's a bad performance. I just think that basically every song in there is played better in more recent performances. I don't really know how to describe it, a lot of the songs just seem a bit sloppy. Hyper Music, Bliss, Plug in Baby and Agitated are probably good examples, it just seems like the guitar all muddies in to a wall of sound, and isn't very precise. I'm assuming Muse agree since they don't play them that way now. For the Origin stuff the 2011 performances are basically as good as it gets for me.
-
My perfect Muse setlist is basically any mix of decent length that's not predictable. Regardless I'll give this a go:
Unsustainable
Supremacy
Map of the Problematique
Supermassive Black Hole
Panic Station
Showbiz
Citizen Erased
Shine
Ruled by Secrecy
United States of Eurasia
I Belong to You
Sing for Absolution
Butterflies & Hurricanes
Follow Me
New Born
City of Delusion
Knights of Cydonia
Exogenesis 1
Exogenesis 2
Exogenesis 3
Hate This & I'll Love You
Survival
Space Dementia
Stockholm Syndrome
Take a Bow

Voted HAARP because:
Hullabaloo - great but has bad editing and the songs are basically all performed worse than more recent performances. Marked up for being the full gig.
Absolution tour - marked down for the fact that the pro-shot was already widely available, except on the DVD there's missing songs.
HAARP - great performance and visuals, fairly representative of their back catalogue (at that point)
360 - I don't really want to have to press loads of buttons while watching. Also not a fan of the fish-eye view
Live in Rome - this would win for me if the songs picked were representative of the band/tour. Really enjoyed it up until the midpoint, but from then on most of the time it felt like a boyband gig. Far more so than at the actual gig I went to, because all the songs that broke up the cheese were cut out.
-
In my opinion, this is basically because they've specifically targeted the radio/festival type crowd to make themselves a band who everyone knows a few singles, rather than staying the size they were around Origin/Absolution (in the UK) and playing people who might actually listen to their albums all the way through.
I'm not sure that's really a controversial opinion here though. I still enjoy the gigs as they are a lot, but it is dispiriting to be seeing Origin in full live and hearing things like "this album is shit" from the other festival-goers.

I was pretty optimistic this morning, but it's waning a little now. Maybe something tonight I guess.
