  1. It totally was! :LOL:

     

    It's my boyfriend's favorite band, and we've been seeing their gigs since we started dating.

    I'm not at all into the old punk stuff, but he loves it. I'm constantly surprised how many of their old fans stuck around with what a huge change the band seems to have made.

     

    They didn't do a ton of songs off their last album during that tour, either, which is a little weird. I saw 2 from Burials on that tour, and 5 from it this tour. :chuckle:

     

    I also don't know if that's terribly uncommon, either, as thinking back a lot of bands only play a couple new ones outside of any singles. I think it's more weird to play nearly the whole damn album like Muse does (and then never carry any of them over to the next tour unless there's a hit single.)

    I would say my last 5 non-Muse gigs were quite scant for new album material, including a relatively big band like Breaking Benjamin who only did like 3-4 new ones in a 20 song set. Unless the band is fairly new, of course.

     

    The other thing I have to say about AFI is that they really fucking give it their all.

    And they had the same energy at a gig where they were the first of two openers that they do on their headliners.

    And I suspect they were doing ACTUAL encores... Like, the crowd needs to actually cheer and carry on for a 2nd encore, and then they get some old ass song that wasn't on the setlist.

     

    Haha nice to see another AFI fan (hence my signature). I saw them a few days ago in Philly and I have this horrible habit of checking the setlist every night but AFI this tour has been full of surprises. It was really great going to a show and there be a genuine change up between sets, which built up the excitement. I wish Muse was like that...which if I had to compare bands with the do's and dont's of tours it'd be those two.

  2. He's sounded a bit rough on the whole French tour so far, compared to the end of the US one.

    I do wonder what the differences have been.

     

    When I saw them in Philly is looked half asleep and after every song he would reach under his suit (his left side) and just rest his hand there, he appears to be doing the same thing so far this tour. Probably nothing, but something is definitely different about him.

  3. I dunno, heavy visuals always seem to distract the crowd and make them a little less lively don't they, and one of the best things about Map is it gets the crowd jumping. Maybe if the curtains could be dropped during the last Loneliness Be Over part or something

     

    I understand. Maybe I am biased because it's my favorite song + has my favorite visuals. It just feels like one of those songs that is better with vibrant colors thrown into the mix..from the videos I've seen it looks too dark for the song of the feelings you get when you hear it.

     

    ..If any of that makes sense:$

  4. I can't imagine Muse selling the audio of the gigs right after the end of the concert, they are too perfectionist to do so. But a polished mix of few concerts after the end of the tour?

     

    Even a few gigs shouldn't be difficult in the slightest. I mean, Metallica releases every single gig for digital download a few days later.

  5. Artsy is a bad word. It just feels so clean and precise, and rock concerts shouldn't feel like that. The whole thing is sterile.

     

    I actually really agree with this. Though I do love the look of the preview I find the whole chaos approach much more entertaining.

    For example...Metallica: Live Shit, Binge and Purge had this amateur feel to it but still managed to maintain that professional camera work.

  6. Could Liquid State serve as a good encore opener?

    Picture a dark arena then boom Chris on the B-stage starting right away.

     

    Worked with Foo Fighters bursting quickly into a song on a B-stage, scaring everyone who was focused on the screens.

  7. Muse don't even sell out arenas in the US, what's the point in performing to half-empty stadiums? :rolleyes:

     

    Speaking that the stadium is a walk away from a 100,000+ person campus and kids would go just cause its a concert. Happened to Rise Against who sold out the arena there because kids went for the hell of it...I know because I kinda just wrote a paper about it for PSU
