    Yeah I saw them do a couple Muse songs. Really impressed.

    I hope they never do an acoustic album because that's going to waste three years considering how long they generally tour and how long they take to get something new out there.

    They did a great job.

    What kind of guitar? Doubt it was a Manson

    FG is a good cover but it's a crying fucking shame when they're playing a cover this late in their careers where they have hours upon hours of B-Side material which is arguably better than most of the album material and 6 albums not including Hullabaloo disk 1.

    BH&R has Starlight/Soldiers Poem/Invincible (I actually like it live but on the album it's not very good) Absolution's worst songs are Thoughts and uh.... Time is Running Out. Absolution I can listen through every track every time, BH&R has tracks I skip through.

    If you're serious about it, I'd have someone build one for you. Problem is, everyone wants one but no one wants to pay for one. There's plenty of talent here.

    Madness Follow Me Starlight (Maybe) Uprising (Maybe) Time Is Running Out Anyone expecting anything else is going to come out disappointed.

    It's a pop radio festival and Muse is only going to play for about 30 minutes. I really wouldn't bother.

    Out of my 6 shows so far, it's only been played twice (of which San Diego and LA Night #1 got the exact same setlist). They really seemed to have forgotten it until the stadium which is only for the musos. I'm really hoping that it'll be played on the 4th (?) leg of the US tour and at Austin City Limits but I doubt it.

    Honestly I can see Survival staying as a regular closer. Supremacy will probably become a rarity Liquid State will be a "Chris rarity" (I don't think he's going anywhere as a vocalist on the next album) Kate Hudson said Panic Station is her favorite song of all time so I figure that'll stay RIP Animals, we hardly knew ye Unsustainable/Isolated System are gone until the stadium tour Explorers will probably be rotated with *insert cool down piano song* Goddamn, it's depressing knowing I'll probably only see Animals two times ever.

    Honestly I would just recommend a Line 6 HD500 multi-fx pedal and make your own presets.

    You know the saying "first impressions are the most important"? Same thing goes for the lasting impressions. Even casual fans think Starlight sucks as a closing song.

    Well I mean material-wise they're using a lot of the same elements. They don't have the walkway behind the stage, they're still using the roulette panels. They don't have the pyramid. They're reusing old assets from previous tours but essentially it's a huge screen, a bunch of metal for a base, a cage/net/whatever is above Dom, the pyro-shooting things, some see through glass, a robot, a gasoline pump (lolwat) and a big big walk way. They could easily get rid of some of the more "theatrical" elements but I would imagine building two stage designs would be more expensive than touring one around.

    Thing is though, the Ricoh is hardly any bigger than the arenas they're playing in the United States (and like they did with the Ricoh, they can artificially make it seem full by bringing the stage closer) and material-wise I don't think the stage is honestly that much bigger. The biggest things are the robot, the walkway/b-stage, the screen and the pyro.

    Filling up the Staples Center three times in a row, Madison Square Garden twice along with Toronto and almost the second night too, getting pretty damn close in Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, Houston and Seattle. Headlining multiple American festivals multiple times. I think it's time for the US to get the stadium treatment along with the 25-song set lists, massive productions and the amazing atmosphere. I know it's too late to do anything like this for the current tour but maybe something in 2014 or Album #7? I realize Muse is not at the same level, commercially speaking, as bands like U2 or Coldplay over here, but they certainly deserve to be and I recognize that some of these gigs probably wouldn't sell out. Hell, they may not even be profitable given the costs of transporting the equipment and distance between gigs. Business-wise, I'm sure the band makes one hell of a lot more out of arena shows/smaller productions than they would doing a bunch of stadiums that may or may not sell out BUT this would turn Muse into a stadium band here in the states. While it's over here, bring it up to Canada, down to Mexico/Southern America. Since it'd eventually end up in Los Angeles, might as well ship it over to Australia/New Zealand. According to Wikipedia, the Ricoh Stadium seats 32,600 people. A good portion of the "arena" was blocked off today, account for the amount of people in the pit and I'd estimate around 25,000 people? Not much more than the capacity of MSG/Staples Center which sold out multiple dates in a row. I know that this is a smaller venue on the stadium tour but I mean if they can fit this massive stage in a soccer arena, why not bring it over here? Why not bring that experience over and blow both hardcore fans and casual listeners away? When people talk to me about Muse over here in America, they always say "they're pretty big right? They played Saturday Night Live and an arena here a couple years back". Don't think that mistake would be made if they were headlining coliseums and larger arenas and that's a reputation worth having. Anyways, I don't know if it's economically feasible or not and I'm sure their management responsible for scheduling tour dates know a hell of a lot more about it than I would but I'd definitely like to get a conversation started about this.

    The only reason it makes me think of Muse is who's worthy and going to play for Rage Against the Machine in a 80,000 person stadium? They've co-headlined several events and they both have a ton of respect for each other.

    So LA Rising on Facebook just posted a status for the first time in a year and a half, we know Muse is going to come back to LA this year, sounds suspicious to me.
  23. Alexander DeLarge
    Think it's possible that Muse will return to the US with the stadium set up later this year or next year? It's on the way to Australia and I'm sure there'd be plenty of interest over in the major markets (Los Angeles and New York City) to see Muse in a stadium.
