Renegades was certainly the worst song of the set, and vastly overplayed, but I thought the rest of the set was a bit samey, too. And they, to me, sounded like just a ton of other artists out there. Singer appeared to be able to hit some crazy notes, but didn't incorporate it into the songs well.
I dunno, I didn't hate it, I was just bored.
Except for that part where the singer shook his balls in my face. That was just wrong.
That's because they're a shitty manufactured Imagine Dragons clone created to sell Jeeps.

I'd like X Ambassadors to do London, or at least the night I'm going, but who knows.
For the record, I saw Band of Skulls at a small gig in Oxford in 2014, and I think they'd be atmospherically better in such rooms than in arenas.
X Ambassadors are one of the worst bands I've ever come across.

If Reapers had been played in addition to Revolt, that would've been a near perfect Drones set. Keeps everyone happy.

"Yeah. Every time we’ve come to Montreal, we’ve just had a great time. The audiences have always been amazing. And just very energetic — and loud! (Laughs) So yeah, we love it here. And within North America, it feels very much like Europe in many ways, here in Quebec. In the feel of the city, obviously the language. So yeah, I guess we just feel comfortable here."
We can tell, Matt. We can tell you don't feel comfortable in the US.

Pretty simple. Stockholm Syndrome should be played at EVERY show. Every Muse fan loves it, and every just...rock fan knows it. It pretty much gave Muse their reputation for being immensely talented at their instruments. It's their Head Like a Hole. It should be played at every Muse show...because a tired and boring SS is still better than the shitty version of Starlight they keep trotting out.

I will say, I think if you request songs via social media that are reasonable requests they usually tend to. I tweeted I've never seen Bliss a week or so before the show, they played Bliss and it's only been played like 3 times this tour. The hashtags usually work. Few people have said they've requested things on social media and gotten to hear them. People started talking about Map's absence online...it showed back up. Just saying. They check those accounts.

"We're going to play an old song now, which I think 10 of you probably know really well, the others just bear with us".
Safe to say we're all well and truly sick of this attitude Muse.
This is just stupid.
In Dallas, fans requested it and people loved it. In Houston, Bliss was more popular than most of the songs played.
Just flat out disrespectful to us old Musers in the US.
He even did this in 2010 for freaking Plug In Baby in Houston. We all sang along and his response after "pretty good for a song that was never released here."
For Bliss in Dallas, "We're gonna play our second song off of our second song. Okay?"
When Faith No More played Epic, from 1989, Mike Patton didn't go "oh we're gonna play an old song guys". Or when NIN played Sanctified from Pretty Hate Machine Trent didn't go "hope you remember this one."
Seriously, just fuck off.
Just stop playing the old songs, guys. We will just stop buying tickets.

The 6 opening dates of the European tour in Paris may sway me otherwise (if there's enough variation), but if not I'd be surprised if I don't end up selling my tickets for the Friday night at the O2.
Those setlists on the North American part of the tour are woeful, I feel sorry for everyone that went.
After the show I was super disappointed in the one piano song, nothing good from BHAR, shitty version of Starlight, no Stockholm, and was just thankful Hysteria got played. After seeing how horrific the sets have gotten now I'm just like "fuck yes I got to see Bliss". Because that mediocre set, technical difficulty riddled performance has only gotten worse. At the time it was super suck. Now it looks fucking amazing.
Luckily the band sounds better than ever, right? Right??
Thanks, Muse.

16 songs, no piano songs (a Muse signature). Unacceptable.
-
If they would have played ONE OoS song (Bliss, CE or Plug In Baby) instead of Resistance that would have been a badass set tonight. Sad that they have completely dropped CE apparently, despite suggesting it may be played more often.
-
Oakland got screwed.
That was an absolutely horrific setlist.
-
Unacceptable that these things are STILL broken.
Map again though. I would complain that early tour got shafted, but I got to hear Bliss. *shrug*
I think they realized that dropping Hysteria was just flat out idiotic and brought it back. Which is nice, but to the peril of the OoS songs.

If only I could be so edgy, teach me pls.
Where should we start, then?

If that's what makes you feel better about your bad taste.
awe. u mad. I bet you like Nickelback too
-
To make you feel better, she only likes it because everyone here doesn't.

I've had recurring nightmares that Muse were loved for who they are and missed the opportunity to be a better band.
Pretty much.

I was thinking the same thing before seeing U2 last summer on their I&E tour. I wondered if the in-the-round set-up with a semi-transparent video screen bisecting the arena would be strange. Really though, once the show started you tend to pay attention to the band, the lights, the video etc. I pretty much forgot about the other half of the crowd until the house lights came up.
Of course, U2's stage set-up was completely different with a main stage at one end of the arena, and the long catwalk and video screen leading to a secondary stage at the other end. Muse's main stage is, of course, right in the middle. I guess I'll know in a week how Muse pulls it all off compared to U2. Unfortunately, I expect to be seeing Muse in a half-full Joe Louis Arena instead of a completely sold-out United Center. Score one for U2 right off the top.
Except the difference is that at a U2 show you have to hear songs post-2000.
As bad as Muse has gotten recently, don't think they have a single song as assinine as Vertigo in their discography.

Needs more Revolt.

'Dat crowd.
Pop band gets pop crowds

Haha, wish we would've gotten Apocalypse Please, but it seems he decided to just treat one person to a guitar instead.
The weather ended up not bad. We got there around 1pm and there wasn't any rain in line until just before they let us in. By then I was under the eaves of the building because we were there early, but it didn't look to be a long rain, or very hard. It was really cold and windy all day though and the four of us traded off waiting and going to the car. I just kept thinking of concerts in places where it snows and seeing people wait overnight in the snow and figured we had it easy.
But AP was played...
-
Reapers in the middle of that horrendous stretch of pop is really a good move by the band. Hopefully it stays in the lineup.
-
but SMBH always struck me as a bit sexist
-
Since at least the TR era.
Are there other bands out there being successful with releasing just a string of "singles"?
No.
People don't like the new Muse albums as much as the old ones because they're not as good. Notice it's always bands past their prime repeating this rhetoric.
-
Am I on the right messageboard here? I swear this was supposed to be a Muse messageboard...
Muse fans in 2015 dig the top 40. Slightly ridiculous, but just a sign of how bad this band has gotten over the years.

This tour, Dig down, and they're playing GMA now?
My interest in Muse is over. I'll enjoy the old stuff. Back to Add Violence.
