  1. 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

    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.

    Never been to this venue, but for what i have heard, it is possible to get to barrier without camping outside the doors all night. We just need your compliance and go in with a group. We have an IG for this to meet up on May 9.

    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

  4. 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 :dance:

  5. 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

    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.

    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?

    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

    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.

    Bleurghghrgh.

    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

  10. ^ 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
