  1. $1500? Ha. You're priceless. And for about the 30 years before the Internet, people paid money to go see shows before *gasp* judging it based off of shitty YouTube videos! I'm surprised you could afford $1500 tbh, all you do is post here all day, figured at some point you'd have to go to work.
  2. Looks like the same kind of things NIN did on their last two arena tours. And if you haven't seen it, don't judge it. Although since you've already decided the tour is gonna be trash, who cares.
  3. I like the sets. I'm more or less unhappy over Matt not playing guitar, but the shows are considerably heavier with stuff like Reapers, The Handler, and The Globalist being played live. I think there should be one Showbiz, one Origin and two Abso songs in each set though. Also, kill Resistance on the set, please.
  4. The whole "one song" thing nearly killed a lot of bands. SO, no, Muse.
  5. You think your minute, irrelevant complaints are causing the band not to sell well. When no rock band sells well in the US. Thus a fanboy. No casual or most hardcore Muse fans care if they play 16 songs or 20 songs. Isolated to about 20 people a show who browse .mu.
  6. In the UK, not in the US. In the US they've been playing arenas in the major markets and selling out or coming close. In smaller markets they are playing in smaller theaters. And, no, Imagine Dragons isn't rock. Indie pop. Not guitar-oriented rock like Muse...which doesn't sell anymore. As much as we'd like to think, if Muse went all pure rock again, they would face plant commercially, at least in the states.
  7. First off, we're not talking about 90s acts, we're talking about current rock bands. In addition, most major rock bands sell out/well the major markets, still. The discussion here was struggling in every other city, such as Detroit, for example. Foo Fighters don't immediately sell out; while they do sell out usually, they don't in the smaller markets. They're a 90s legacy act, anyway. Pearl Jam doesn't sell out anymore; they may come close or do in NYC, Chicago, LA...but so does Muse. The Cure sells terribly outside of NYC, Chicago and LA. Imagine Dragons doesn't play all the arenas, they play smaller theaters, but occasionally play arenas, and don't sell them out. There are no modern rock bands that sell out arenas consistently. And look, I realize that Muse are getting up there, but as far as being "big" in America, Muse is pretty much 2006-on. NIN and Radiohead aren't 90s relics and putting them in the same category as far as selling like Manson or the Pumpkins or Garbage is hilariously wrong, especially when you reference Pearl Jam. NIN sell about as well as Radiohead, which is good, but still around 8-10K...which is what Muse will sell in most places here. In DFW, most of the lower bowl is sold out and most of the tickets in the lower bowl left in Houston are in the worst spot in the lower bowl. Muse are selling fine in the larger markets. This complaint is stupid, rock is dead in the US, Muse is the last remaining relic. Lower level tickets on Stubhub are going for about $100. There is plenty of demand.
  8. Song still sucks, video looks like CoD and the Hunger Games had an illegitimate child.
  9. In the US. Rock doesn't sell in the US. My bad for not being clear. There are no "big" modern (Bruce & U2 are old) rock bands that sell out arenas in the US anymore. When NIN, Radiohead and even Roger Waters can't sell in the US...rock is dead.
  10. During tour season, best just to stay off. People will complain no matter what. I'm ecstatic that Plug In Baby is back, Citizen Erased is in every show and Apocalypse Please is showing up. I'm excited about the stage setup. The people complaining are the people who go to 20 shows and will never be happy, or grow up. Just ignore it, go to your show and the thread for it, and have fun. This has happened with every tour.
  11. No rock bands sell well anymore. I saw NIN at a half empty stadium in San Antonio on their last tour. Half empty in Dallas for T2L. Who cares? Just enjoy yourself, when the lights are off it's hard to see.
  12. It's really a toss-up. The Resistance tour had super awful static setlists and a lot of duds early in the tour that the band changed up later. But then if you look at 2nd Law or BH&R, the first few shows got Bliss, Animals, Map, Sign O' The Times, Sunburn, B+H, Apocalypse Please...so it varies. The only thing is that on T2L Tour, the batshit crazy stuff like Fury and Agitated got brought out towards the end of the US run. So we'll see. I think we'll probably get one or two cool specialties. Really the only "special" songs I've ever seen are Ruled by Secrecy and Sunburn (debatable). I'd love to hear Bliss or Citizen Erased. Idk about the stage.
  13. Box office. On the day of the show, go up to the Toyota Center box office on the side of the building and pick 'em up. If you have GA, I would recommend planning to line up.
  14. With the new setup, looks like if I get there around 3 I should be able to get front row. I used to show up around 12 but now I have responsibilities.
  15. Just got my tickets! Can't wait to see y'all there!
