I can't find it on YouTube... It was up on two videos but both of them seem to have been claimed by BBC. Anyone have a link where I can watch it?
-
Welp. Don't get BBC and none of the links are working. Now I'm sad.
-
Can we at least hope that someone will post the full thing to YouTube? Someone like MuseLiveVideos or Takeabow19 or someone.
-
Doesn't work for me...
-
How are all of you watching this?
-
What if people actually didn't treat every new Muse album that came out as "the worst album of the year"?
-
Great HQ audio! Anyway, I want to watch the Glastonbury set but I can't get it since I'm a filthy American.
-
That moment when I'm ashamed to admit that of all the times I've seen Muse, my favorite was on the newest tour.
-
So wait, they diss people who prefer Absolution over OOS? Or the opposite?
-
Oh, definitely. It does get a little more poppy than Showbiz, OOS or Absolution, but it is one of the more balanced of their later albums, with every track seeming to make sense on the album. I've actually heard some fans say that Muse went downhill after Showbiz, which... no, I love Showbiz and even I think it's probably their worst album.
-
Yeah... I find it dumb that so many Muse fans love dissing everything after OOS. Because yeah, screw anyone that prefers Absolution over OOS! They clearly have no taste, right?
-
Yep, nothing sillier than that! I will say that the word "babe" may belong in some songs by other bands (like Def Leppard songs for example), but not in a serious Muse song about mutual nuclear annihilation and the end of the world. There are stretch rhymes (like rhyming "saw" with "go" in MOTP), and then there's that. I didn't mention it because I actually don't know what song that's from. I've been getting a lot of comments about the line in Defector, but I missed that one from Sober. Good catch!
-
To add to that, I found this little tag too: downhill after 1998 So wait, if they went downhill after 1998 then that means that OOS wasn't as good as what the other tag said, as that album was released in 2001. So is it downhill after OOS or downhill after 1998? Make up your damn mind!
-
Okay, seriously, who is tagging this thread? Because this tag: horrible since origins Yeah, whoever added that tag can go piss off mate. First of all, Absolution is a damn great album and some would even argue it's better than OOS. And secondly, whoever added that must not be a big fan of OOS, because then he/she would've known that the album's title is Origin of Symmetry, not Origins of Symmtry. Just a little rant, carry on.

Any setlist speculation? Or guesses about how the stage will look? They tend to use a smaller stage for their festival tours than for their arena/stadium shows.

So I returned to this board after the other members shutting me down for liking Muse on a Muse fansite and read the past few pages where it was said that the band was losing money on their US shows. It made me realize something interesting. You know how Muse said that they were inspired by Pink Floyd's The Wall Tour for this one? Well, I don't know if this was overlooked or anything, but the original tour for The Wall was a commercial failure. Seriously, a failure. Their stage show was such that it didn't allow them to play in many gigs, and they spent more money on it than they made. (This is saying nothing about Roger Waters' solo The Wall Tour, or about his Berlin 1990 performance of it, just the original tour from 1980-1981.) I'm not sure if this is really the case with Muse of them losing money, but I just thought that was an interesting thing to bring up. Oh, also similarly to the current Drones Tour, The Wall Tour was never officially filmed for a concert video. (Seriously, when are we getting a live proshot video from the Drones Tour? )
-
Hi! So I don't know if this will ever happen--though hopefully it does--but will there be a live pro-shot video of one of the full shows on the Drones Tour? I'm just asking because there were full (well, minus a few songs) videos of the Seattle 2010 show during the Resistance Tour, and the Japan 2013 show during the 2nd Law Tour. So if there are any pro-shot recordings from either 2015 or 2016 of the Drones Tour, please post them here!
-
So I have a quick question. When Muse played "Citizen Erased" when I saw them, they stopped about halfway through the song so Matt could grab a drink of water. I found it kind of funny because they were teasing the audience, but I was also scared because I thought that their equipment had failed or something, and there was no way I was going to see Citizen Erased only for the equipment to fail! Luckily, they continued, but I have a question: Has Muse done that during any of their other performances of Citizen Erased?
-
I've been gone from this board for over a week now. Let's just check back and see. Maybe it's become more positive? ...Nope, people are still complaining about how Matt's voice sucks now (which it really doesn't), whining about how we aren't getting any rarities (even though we're now getting Apocalypse Please, Citizen Erased and Take a Bow, all of which were rare on the last tour), and worshiping Origin of Symmetry like it's the greatest album in the world (one word: Absolution). Though I will say that it's strange how Muse sounded so amazing during the Psycho Tour and the festival tour, yet Matt is now struggling to hit all the notes* and has stopped playing guitar again on the arena tour. *At least I think he is. I don't know; he seemed fine when I saw him.

Best Live Performance of any one song
TheHappySpaceman replied to Alistair Hay's topic in Songs & Releases
For me, this will always be the best performance of Bliss: vceBK8lM7xU -
There's so much negativity here. It's funny because, before I found this site, I used to be so stoked to see Muse or to watch videos of them live because, well, they're Muse, and no matter what songs they play, they tend to be at least as good (if not better) live than in the studio. You can't say that about many bands or artists nowadays. Having been on this site for a while, I feel like I'm starting to feel like being amazing live isn't enough, and that they have to play certain songs, do certain things, etc. Am I turning into a snob? I don't know. I think I need some time off from Muse.mu. Not sure if I'll request the admins to ban me for a day, but I might be gone for a little bit.
-
Okay, here's a quick question. Would you guys be willing to settle for a fifteen-or-so minute break during the show, if it meant a longer setlist? Back when I still had a band, I would play eleven songs in the first set, then take a fifteen-minute break and play eleven more songs in the second set, and finish it up with a one-song encore.
-
So which would you rather have: A large number of people clapping, or a large number of people on their cell phones?
-
Ah. Yeah, I agree. It's kind of become a staple of all their shows, along with Madness, Uprising, SBH, and Hysteria. That's interesting, because I remember that those were part of the show's appeal. Strange that Muse would ditch them for this show.
-
It's been years since you've heard it? They've only been playing it for less than a year now! I know it was a figure of speech; I was just messing with you.
