  1. Maybe it was just the shows I went to (January), but I thought Follow Me was dreadful live, especially after I'd heard stories about how much better it was live. Matt struggled to sing anything after the bass drop at each show and he looks like a little kid throwing a tantrum on the floor instead of being a rock star. It was less painful at the time since the very next song was UD, which suddenly made me miss the hell out of Follow Me, but I've grown to dislike that song more and more. Anyway, from what I've seen in person: Top 5: Bliss Map of the Problematique Butterflies and Hurricanes Time Is Running Out Ruled by Secrecy Bottom 5: Undisclosed Desires Explorers Guiding Light Resistance (don't dislike on the album, but such a drag live) Save Me
  2. Yeah, for being confined to the US, I'd say I've had damn good luck haha I mean, CE, Bliss, and B&H almost never happen here

But hey, I got GL 3 times, so that redeems that, right? RIGHT?
  4. Why, yes! That's me. :LOL:

     

    Never ending hole in my wallet. :awesome:

  5. Indeed. :)

    Are you...Showbiz? I seem to recall a Whispering Shadows on Cping a while back that changed their username.

     

    I'm doing well. Finally becoming active again on Cping now that there's finally some news going on. With Muse's tour winding down, it looks like I'm gonna have to start spending my money on Coldplay again. THE MADNESS NEVER STOPS! :LOL:

  6. You're Corkus on cping right?

     

    What's up? :D

  7. I'm not as irked as some of you about the current tour (though admittedly, I sorta lucked out with some pretty good shows), but there were some questionable decisions, especially toward the end when Unnatural Selection and New Born began being rotated out for whatever reason, and it's not like they were replaced with another song. They were just dropped altogether, resulting in shorter sets. Likewise, while I think we can still depend on seeing New Born appear during the next tour, but less frequently. Some have suggested swapping it with Unnatural Selection at every other show, which doesn't seem like a terrible idea, though quite frankly, I'd still prefer to hear both. And yes, Matt needs to return to the doggone piano during New Born. Speaking of piano, I'd really like to see its sequence extended. This may be easier if they remove the towers (and I think they will), as it can be wheeled in and out more efficiently without them, and the piano songs can be divided up throughout the show if what Matt says about audience contact is actually true. As for the older songs needing to be played more, I think it goes without saying. Expending the setlist length can only do favors, especially as Muse's library grows and they have more and more hits to plow through at future shows, endangering rarities even further. I mean, yeah, while it's fun to brag that I got the only instance of Bliss in the U.S. all tour, it's fairly depressing at the same time. I suppose I'm not as picky as some about this current (soon-to-be-ending) tour as some seeing as how it was my first tour seeing Muse live. In fact, my biggest regret may be not being able to see MK Ultra at any of my shows, since that song seems doomed next tour if the fact that it's on The Resistance and rarely ever played is any indication. But because of that, I've missed out on seeing some great songs from the first four albums, and I think all of us would love a chance to see those revivals.
  8. I need to go on here more often lol. Yeah same here, going to 3 of the 4 in socal. Hopefully we get some good setlists. I see you're going to those gigs too. WHich one are you looking forward to most?

  9. Pretty good. Excited for Muse next week. You?

  10. Oh that's so awesome!

    And thanks, although I'm not sure I'm gonna do any further blogs. They were a gimmick to help spice up the place, but then I ran out of ideas.

    Have a good night!

  11. Oh that sounds gooood!

    Do you know Imke? We'll go to the Wembley gigs together, I'm so looking forward to finally meet her in person and go to the gigs with her!

    Love your blogs btw, they made the (I agree with you) dull days there so much brighter!!!

     

    Really have to go to bed now, must get up in 6 hours! :eek:

    Hope we'll talk soon again, Anna

  12. Oh hey! Another CPer! :D

    Hope you're doing well also! Getting prepared for a several-day Muse concert spree in September with some good folks here.
