    Given all the times your hardcore/Muser fans request you to play Citizen Erased what do you think the song really means to them and after all these years what does that song mean to you now? Which American city/state has the best crowds?

    I was there for the Dallas gig last night and it was phenomenal. Yes no opening act, no drones and they were late but the performance was def better than Houston seeing as they didn't actually have any instrument malfunctions. Matt's voice sounded SOOOO good live in Dallas. There were a few songs though where his voice got muffled so they need to work on the sound levels for his vocals in some spots. Totally made my year that they played CE!!! Never thought they'd play that in my home town. The Globalist was a standout for me as was Revolt surprisingly. Even though the crowds here in America suck (except for about 10% of each gig who are awesome) most of the people around me LOVED the new songs. Especially Psycho/Reapers and The Handler. Loved the stage. Its different being in the middle as it spreads the crowd out more which wouldn't be a problem in most places but here in America to many people like to stand and stare and do nothing as they listen to the music. Nothing wrong with that but just do it up in the stands. But I totally loved the stage setup mainly because the band is a lot closer to everybody and there more easily seen. Only thing regarding the stage that i'm not so sure about were the big video sheet things. Really cool during the Handler and The Globalist but other times kind of weak. The setlist was great in one part (new songs totally rocked, CE blew me away) and totally average in another (Madness, Uprising, UD, Starlight, SMBH etc.) I didn't expect rarities in Dallas but I did expect them to play some more prog numbers with the new songs like New Born, B&H, Unnatural Selection etc. But overall the concert was the best i've ever been too and it definitely beat Muse's last two concerts here despite all of the issues. Just build the stage on time, fix some of the sound levels and get the drones working and I truly feel that this tour will go down as the best of Muse's career thus far. Hopefully they get it all in order cause they've never sounded better live as a band.

    The show last night in Dallas totally blew me away. 3rd time seeing muse and while I do agree with others that the sound levels were a bit off on some of Matt's vocals I thought his guitar sounded great on mostly every song except maybe the slide guitar part of the globalist. During Psycho/Reapers/CE his guitar was PHENOMENAL! But either way its early in the NA tour. But moment of the night has to go to the moment Matt got handed the Citizen Erased guitar. I thought I recognized it but I wasn't sure at first. CANNOT believe they played that song in my home town of Dallas, TX. I can now die a happy happy man. :mussing: And besides the slide guitar not being audible one of the other highlights of the show for me was The Globalist. His piano sounded great during the last part where I thought it sounded a little weak/muffled during feeling good. Also (don't shoot me) I thought Revolt was a truly awesome song live. Say what you want about the pre-chorus but i'll hear that song any night. I just hope the eventually rotate it out with Defector. And lastly the new songs got a really good reception in my section (207). The opening salvo of Psycho/Reapers was truly powerful. Overall this was by far the best concert i've ever been too and beats the last two tours of Muse concerts in Dallas/FW for me. Yes it sucked no opening act, no drones and they ran late but the stage design being in the middle of the venue made MUSE that much more of a formidable live act as it was visually stunning. Beats any stage design they've had (as much as I loved the Resistance tour's towers this was better/more engaging). And Matt moved around a lot!

    At the end of the day its all a matter of opinion so I'm just going to respectfully disagree. Elton's great, Freddie's phenomenal I just prefer the way Matt plays which is why I think he's better. So many of Elton's Piano songs are great but just as many are boring and uninspired. Freddie only has 6 or 7 great piano songs that I can think of but there all great haha. If I was a classically trained pianist perhaps i'd have a different perspective but alas I do not.

    Lead Singer in a rock band, pretty simple to follow. Still only Freddie above him that I can think of, Suppose I should have been that specific in my first post but Christ on a bike. Took me apart like I'm running for president
  6. Exogenesisman
    As a 24 year old muse fan allow me to be more specific, Matthew James Bellamy is the best pianist in a rock band that's currently still relevant and not a solo artist. I'd agree Freddie might be better and I would also agree that Eltons better but one of those blokes is dead and has been for a while and the other dude while still great is a solo artist. Never mind Billie Joel. So while its all a matter of opinion I stand by my original statement. And FYI I'm a Freddie and Elton fan too.
  7. Exogenesisman
    I'm talking about lead singers in major rock bands. No one tops Matt as a pianist in that category.

    I dare anyone this side of Mozart in modern music to play that on the piano. Freaking gorgeous! But to each his/her own:logic:
  9. Exogenesisman
    Yeah I'd probably rank Assassin just higher now that I think about it but alas I do have a major love for both Guiding Light and Revolt. I just think there awesome sounding albeit very cheesy. And I should rank Big Freeze and Liquid state lower. Thats the problem though I feel like it changes all the time! Oh well I tried.

    Thanks for posting these!!

    Probably but I prefer the "Journey songs". Suppose they could always do a 20 minute song just to make everybody happy but at that point like you said they might as well split the different parts into different songs. But I like the The Globalist as it is, one giant journey of a song.

    Hey now!

    Here's one of the better reviews of the album in terms of how I feel about the album: http://www.highlandernews.org/20209/drones-is-muses-successful-experiment/

    The first half usually has the big hit songs and maybe an intriguing opening song. One would think thats where the best songs are but for Muse the 2nd half of there albums are better for me. My proof: Hate This and I'll Love you, Citizen Erased (technically the middle song but it changes the course of the album so it falls into the 2nd half for me), Micro Cuts, Dark Shines, Megalomania, Blackout, Butterflies and Hurricanes, Ruled By Secrecy, Assassin, Hoodoo, Knights of Cydonia, MK Ultra, Exogenesis (1,2,3) Aftermath, The Globalist. I don't think its a wide gap though. But for my money 75% of there BEST songs come in the 2nd half of there albums, the heavy hitters so to speak. The hits are towards the front but the classics are generally towards the back. Showbiz: 1st Half by a mile Origin: 2nd Half by a whisker Absolution: 2nd Half Black Holes: Tossup but edge goes to 2nd Half The Resistance: 2nd Half by a lightyear The 2nd Law: 1st Half by a lightyear x Infinity Drones: Complete Tossup, probably edge to the 1st half cause of the 1-2 combo of Reapers/Handler So 4 albums for the 2nd half, 3 for the 1st half.
