So a general sum up of gig info:
Won’t Stand Down - Matt did screams, some big harmonics during the chugging before the last breakdown
Hysteria - crowd sang the main riff, School (or another Nirvana riff) + Back In Black outro
Pressure - Matt got a bit loose and did some variations of the verse riff
Compliance - guitar very similar to Dark Side live, Matt played the Knight Rider bridge, lovely A4s at the end, seemed v happy with how the crowd took to it
Supermassive - Foxey Lady outro
Assassin GOB Edit - holy fucking shit lmao
Psycho - outro for either this or Assassin (can’t remember which) was a riff that so far nobody has said they recognised, the band were smiling at each other while playing it so wondering if it might’ve been something from WOTP
PIB - got a bit emosh
Bliss - also got a bit emosh, keys were a backing track, Matt did a similar whammy sustain intro to the 2017 performances
Knights - Dom played keys during MWAH in Morgan’s absence, thought I couldn’t escape it as a closer UNTIL
Stockholm - Execution Comms outro
Agitated - immense, Matt tried to smash his guitar against the roof at the end but just unplugged his wireless pack a couple of times lmao, gave it away at the end, whole band stayed on stage for quite a while just shaking hands/signing stuff/giving away anything they could from the stage
Probably played for about an hour or close in the end, which isn’t bad for a free promo gig. Energy didn’t stop either so I was pretty ruined by the end anyway. Best experience of my life, hopefully getting their signatures tattooed later today 👀 had a lovely chat with Chris outside for a while as he had a smoke, Matt’s reaction to the Jeff Buckley bootleg and our chat made my life
Footage will be released on Youtube, Compliance first then “hopefully” more later, production company said they’d try to put the whole thing out if they can.

Was it you who gave Matt a CD (or DVD?) of Jeff Buckley at Reading, I think? 👍
idk how you’ve managed to make that connection or how it’s spreading like it is but yes! 😅 was a really cool moment, he told me a story and we had a proper chat about it, everything about the last 24 hours was so surreal

I went and it was the best thing ever in my life

Stage door is down the left side of the building, there's normally a security barrier with someone on it. Always a possibility though!
It's a really, really wide stage.
Thankya! There was at SBE as well but the band’ll usually come over to say hello if you’re waiting. As long as it’s not like other venues where you can’t even see where the buses go.

from what I’ve seen counting in photos, you’re probably only fitting around ~45 people across the whole barrier
probs don’t have to camp overnight but I shall anyway ‘cos I just wanna know I’ll be ok

Can anyone who’s been to the Apollo before say what it’s like for being able to meet the artists round back after? No go or yes go?
Also you KNOW ya boy got standing both nights and will be on that sweet tasty barrier

Seems to just be London/SBE for the stencil and stickers, feel like more woulda been found by now if there were other cities. But they can’t just be playing *one* gig between now and the festivals, right? Maybe they’ll play SBE, then you’ll start seeing stickers next to a venue in Paris/LA or something.
I’d say By Request tour but there’s no way they’ve rehearsed enough for that lmao
-
There may be more logos elsewhere but I refuse to believe a sticker right outside that venue doesn’t imply “gig” 👀
-
Someone please be arsed to go back and quote every time I’ve said PSYCHO TOUR 2 because we have a WTOP sticker right outside Shepherd’s Bush 👀👀👀👁👁👁👀👀👀🧠🧠🧠

I’m more worried about it being T2L 2 so far, with Matt and the press release saying every song is a different genre and “best of” a certain version of Muse
I love Compliance and don’t mind WSD though so even if it flows like oil and water, maybe I can still enjoy the individual tracks.

Yes, a short album with short songs can be great. Or not. But for sure what it is difficult to think is that it will be an album with progressive developed rock songs, which is what Muse used to do and what I would like to hear at least in a decent percentage of the new material. Specially coming from a LP like ST that also lacks on this.
I just made a comment based in my personal opinion in which waiting 4 years for 37 minutes of new material (and not so brilliant based on the 20% of it) feelss poor.
The amount of Muse’s discography that is 5+ minutes progressive rock is very minimal. It’s not really ever been ‘what they do’. Why anyone would still go into a Muse record expecting that after all this time is beyond me, especially when there’s been no suggestion of it.
Time between releases doesn’t equate or correlate to the amount that’s gonna be produced on the next one either. Plus, let’s be honest, even the saddest among us have lives and haven’t spent the last 4 years waiting for a new Muse record. There’s a difference between waiting for something and time elapsing.
15 minutes ago, DrMalignoXXX said:And you are wrong: being long does not necessary implies that you will get repetitive, the same with the opposite. A short song can get repetitive and cumbersome as hell like Pressure, Undisclosed Desires, Mercy or.... Compliance
Not wrong, acknowledged exactly this at the end of my post. These things aren’t mutually exclusive but the last few ~55 minute Muse albums all had songs that people said should either be trimmed down or cut completely. If those records had done that and gone with a shorter length, you’d get complaints like we are now about it being too short.
Each album is what it is, you’re either gonna like a certain amount of it or not. We can’t moan about extra minutes of music without knowing what those extra minutes would’ve been.

Also, all tracks <4 minutes gives low chances to do proper progressive song with real building and to listen to the symphonic-epic MUSE.
There are three tracks over 4 mins, two of them basically 5.
Honestly, the wait to August is weird and sucks arse but I never get the complaints over length. There’s nothing stopping a short album from being great and nothing about a longer album that guarantees it being any better. People moan when albums have filler or repetitive songs like Psycho, but then get pessimistic about a shorter track length. I know they’re not mutually exclusive but come on ladssss, why is negativity always the default?

lmao I’ve gone from saying “psycho tour 2 lads” to hearing the band are legit debating whether to slow down touring and focus on making albums
death, come unto me

Also with the very ambiguous announcement of "Compliance" dropping with no mention that it was a song, along side the album track anagrams (that I guess were discovered?) I was expecting Thursday to be an album and tracklisting announcement. Not a song. But I guess a song is nice.
Album is Will Of The People, we’ll presumably get album details either tomorrow or within the next week or so as well.
Hope everyone’s ready for Psycho Tour 2 btw, here it comes

Chris’ mask though… his face doesn’t transfer well, apparently. He’s easily the hottest Muse member and easily the ugliest mask.
Dom
just looks like mashed potato with eyes and a mouth
Chris’ still has bones
2 hours ago, Claudia O said:So it will be a concept album then?
I’m not getting that vibe tbh, I think they just like having some continuity in their music videos nowadays.

How can they churn this out after producing something as good as Dead Inside just a few years ago...
This is like Dead Inside if it was perfect
There are ~no~ flaws

LEAKED and it’s actually a bop

Definitely one of their better pop songs.

^ this is a good post (eternallypissed)
I recognise that it is likely irrational worry. Probably mostly a result of familiar phrasing triggering our experiences with all that shite over the last couple of years. Matt’s never been perfect with his words but you don’t get the sense he’s a dodgy bloke, so it’s always worth the benefit of the doubt regardless. That said, they should be aware of how these things can be construed and the kind of toxic dialogue it can breed in the current climate, but that unintentional slip isn’t necessarily anything new to Muse and it’s not a big problem.
I said in a comment somewhere else that, a statement like that wouldn’t have stood out at all anytime in the past by Muse standards. It’s just the glaring context of what the world’s gone through when it was written.

You don't really have to be a "nutter" to see that things aren't quite right with the status quo at the moment, and also to see how massively demonised people are (like Laurence Fox for example) just for airing reasonable concerns and mirroring what the public are saying.
This was a very reasonably worded post but leeeeeeeeets not go here on Main Muse.mu
