Onkos täällä jonottelijoita menossa jo aamulla/päivällä kytikselle?

Anyone think the Finnish gig has a chance to land some sweets? The guys always talk about how they want to play heavier stuff here since we're the "promised land of metal" and I'll be honest, we seem to get some nice deeper cuts almost every gig. If I'm counting it correctly, the three last gigs have had MOTP, TaB(on Drones tour so not regulars), Citizen Erased, Micro Cuts, Yes Please and Agitated.
Keeping my hopes up for, eh, let's say one of Butterflies, Bliss, Citizen Erased or maybe even, dare I say it, Showbiz.

And, yes, before you ask, I 100% believe a high-as-a-kite-Matt would think that section starting with Animals and ending with Take a Bow would tell an amazing story about people taking the power back, fuck the song flow.

Not sure if this is controversial, but it's weird for sure:
I would kill to get the slap tone Chris uses both in UD and Panic Station. Mmmmh, that warm, thicc bassy tone with just a hint of od on it is just soooo god damn awesome. The application sure could use some work but if they ever go back to slap songs for the love of god don't touch that tone.
-
I'm already preparing to cry for my wallet if it's by request-shows or any other smaller gigs, since those always have old shite in them. Flights, tix, hotels if needed, hooooo boy here we go again.

Hm, not unheard of but defo worth getting in contact w/ them to ask. I ordered physical tix and they arrived a week or two ago.
I disagree about the getting reactions part, seen too many examples of non-hit songs (Dead Star, half of Origin, even Assassin at the O2) that’ve fallen absolutely flat. Credit to the band, they generally know what they’re doing when it comes to picking what the majority like and move to.
Ultimately, what’s going on with this tour is between the majorly tightly scripted production and sonic ‘vibe’ of ST. The band aren’t against throwing old fan favourites out at big gigs, we’ve seen it on most previous tours, it’s just hard to find a place for them to really fit in on this one and there a v few slots in the set that don’t have some kind of performance/production element attached to them. It’s a shame ‘cos there are obvs oldies that would fit in like Invincible, IBTY, MK Ultra, Endlessly, Bliss and Map but, other than the last 2 (which I’ll be shocked if they stay dead), they’re the kind of oldies that were instantly forgotten. I’m happy we’re getting TAB so much though.
I tend to agree that I'm overreacting, but I'm still pretty baffled. Even some of the once you mentioned at the end, like Endlessly and Invincible are ones I was sure they'd bring back at some point. They're simple pop songs with catchy lyrics and perfect for the casual ear. Also Bliss staying on the shelf for this long is alarming.

Idk if this is just me but the guys really are refusing to leave their comfort zone rn. Remember all the comments of how Dom never wants to play Assassin or some other old(not deep cuts but even the well-known ones) songs because "they're not fun to play", then proceeds to force Resistance or UD in setlists when they're known mood and flow killers? Matt doesn't want to play anything that's not a megahit, new song or a setlist staple for 10+ years. Chris just doesn't give a fuck and plays what the two say and seems to be more interested in actually playing the songs well and accurately rather than fishing for reactions from the crowd, like, um, someone else in the band.
Do they not understand that they can literally play any song from the standard versions of their lps(minus like the backhalf of Showbiz) and get great reactions and the crowd into it? Like, I think I've said this before, but they need to take a page from bands like Metallica or Iron Maiden and just not give a shit and play some oddities while also throwing in the occasional "casual pleaser". And, yes, those two bands are still bigger than Muse, but not too much that they can't be compared.
-
So I haven't really been on the board a lot, what's our current consensus on the tour/setlist so far?
Personally I think the visual side hits it even further out of the park than previous tours, if that's possible. Also the setlists have been pretty banging considering it's the NA leg, but then again someone who doesn't rank ST as highly as I do probably isn't enjoying the sets so far.

My Rick is still underused as hell so I'm willing to listen to trade offers. Not really looking for cash.
2004 Rickenbacker 4003, fireglo, original case, paperwork and everything included. Pickup cover is off right now but will of course be included.
I'm looking for another bass in exchange. Mostly looking for a 4-string, brands I'm mostly looking for incl. Pedulla, Status, lower-end Alembic, Sadowsky or Fender. Only JB bodies/wirings from Sadowsky/Fender though. If you have any other high-end 4-strings you could offer, do it. Also if someone is willing to do a Manson guitar for Rick + cash, I'm listening, but I can't pay more than a few hundred euros to even out so that probs limits the options.
-
Eh, I'm enough of a sucker for the "Muse song 101" gimmick that I'll go with Blockades.
-
Drones and it's not even close. Uninspired, cringeworthy lyrics, shit mixing, need I continue?
-
- TR is just a bit...dull. Exo 1, 3 and MK Ultra are the only songs that really stand out for me.

If the guitar’s not painted it doesn’t actually make any sound. That’s why MB doesn’t use the aluminium or mirror ones anymore.
I'm dead
-
he’s right, guitar colour is the main part of good toan.
But what about guitars which don't have a paint job? Or are plate topped?
I guess they sound... neutral.
(I'll show myself out)
-
Took advice and gave Screenager a try. Additionally gave Micro Cuts a listen as well. Both songs are now amongst the expansive collection that I really like. The last song on OoS I have to give a second listen to now is Megalomania.
Micro Cuts is a freakin bomb.
-
You're half ok.
I mean on the other hand I've been blasting Agitated and Easily a lot more recently so that balances things out.
-
Undisclosed Desires and Resistance.
I'm not ok.

I don't like any of the versions tbh. I don't think they sound bad, just not for me. James has a Sludgymuff I made that's not bad, but the stock version is vile.
Huh. I would want to say don't speak to me or my son ever again because I love the black russian muff but eh
-
I hope this doesn't affect my credentials around here, but I really don't like a Big Muff much.
It all depends on which version you mean. Or generally?

Album Eight: Simulation Theory

Posted · Edited by 01FromFinland
So, since some people here were convinced that the album would fall out of favor after some time, let me just do my part and say that it still stands firmly in my #3 spot for albums. The whole thing(minus GUAF and DD) absolutely slaps.
