['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

Could some kind soul set up some permanent online chatroom for .mu board members to chat with each other instead of refreshing the same page over and over for news? The reddit page has one but nobody uses it and when people do it makes me cry bc it's terrible.

 

Could always set up a chatzy, or the like? Then you could password protect it, protect against spam, and such.

[Reapers (Song)]

"Kueller the killer is the drone operator... bad to the bone is how you make a drone, free your home, lock your mind... it's killing time."

 

how'd I do??? am I Matt yet

 

 

This is beautiful.

[Best Song from Absolution]

Endlessly, predictably, but Fury is a very close second.

 

Although nothing makes me bawl quite like B&H does.

['Drones' discussion thread (part 3): Show me your war ass]

At this time, we have to take everything with a pinch of salt. Otherwise our hopes on it will probably be a crazy rollercoaster the next two weeks

 

 

Same, same. I'm already in love with Dead Inside and on the edge of my seat for the studio version of Reapers, so I'm not going to write anything off until the physical copy is in my hands (or, well. on spotify, anyway.)

[Mercy]

I always felt like an awful Muse fan for having an ardent hatred for Starlight, but Mercy is like... everything redeemable about Starlight except better

Have an excellent time, everyone! I expect first-hand accounts

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

I'm from Oregon so a little rain won't deter me!

 

Same, same. Sometimes I forget that rain is a deterrent/nuisance for some people

 

Also, now that I have the flu, it's safe to say that I won't be going to this gig I am THRILLED to see what y'all get setlist-wise, though

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Aww. Did you ever find a ticket for your friend? You'll still go, right?

 

i haven't - the cheapest i've found is $500 for a single, and i wish i could throw around that kind of money it's all good, though; i'm glad Matt confirmed they'll be touring the States come winter!

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Muse is all gonna be like, "Wow, these 30 Twitter accounts really want us to play _____ song!!"

 

if they actually end up playing coma/showbiz/futurism for y'all i will be v. pleased.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Let's make it happen! Trend #ComaForCali along with other general Muse at The Mayan tags and I'm sure if they take notice of a song that old in a tag they might laugh and give it a go!

 

Done! I'll spam it a couple more times for y'all over the next few days.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

#ComaForCalifornia is best

 

COMA I am behind this.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Any chances they might play Mercy for us? Our gig is only 2 weeks out from an official stream (probably) so it kinda would make sense.

 

Perhaps? I'm thinking the setlist may be extremely similar to NYC? (Not that I'm complaining or anything. APOCALYPSE PLEASE. BLISSSSSSSSS.)

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Oh shit, I think I remember talking to you for a brief moment LOL. I asked "how long you guys been here?" and I remember hearing "ALL NIGHT". This was in front of that fence before they moved us to line up for bag checking

 

we were really, really, really dumb. As soon as Tom tweeted about soundcheck, we headed over to the venue and camped down for the night. Tenth and Eleventh in line, but super dumb, haha.

 

I expect with how Webster's queueing went down, there'll be some overnighters at the Mayan as well.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

How dare you, passion pit was the one opening act I actually enjoyed

 

 

to each his/her/their own, i suppose?

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Well to be honest, I would only be waltzing in because i probably be pre gaming at the nearest bar and not dinner! Annnnd, these days at Muse shows in LA its only easy for me to get a good view because of all these high school teens only knowing the songs that are played on KROQ!

 

Off topic a bit, does anyone know of an opening band or?

 

It's Plague Vendor! Not really my kind of thing, but anything's better than that one time Passion Pit opened for them...

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Reading the Webster thread and someone mentioned 30+ people in line already.

Wonder if you crazy LA people will be doing that....

 

Anyone know if the Mayan will still have their regular club nights after the show? Just curious because I'm looking for places to park and I can buy a parking pass online and was wondering how long to book the space for.

 

I queued overnight to get barrier for L.A. Rising and just... that was the most hardcore thing I've ever done. I mean, it was worth it, but queueing for that long is BRUTAL.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Anybody have an extra ticket for sale? I missed out on the sale and I'm getting desperate for one - Craigslist is no help.

 

I feel your pain, my friend. It's disheartening.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

So I have the following for attending the show:

 

- Corkscrewed + 3 (that's me, of course)

- killermojo + 1

- JessicaSarahS + 1

- MuseGal + 1

- plastic passion + 1

- Wicked And Divine + 3

 

- end1essly (?)

 

Everyone is a +1 unless explicitly stated.

 

I have work that day and won't get out of that till early afternoon, so my plan is to get there mid-afternoon (2 or 3?) and queue up. Would definitely love to meet any of you in line. I want to be as close as possible but know I won't be there early enough for railing. Fortunately, since it's a small venue, any spot will still be good. But I'm still going to angle for as close as possible!

 

Oh, that question mark hurts me inside Trying my best to find a second ticket!

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

someone on the reddit board posted this. Muse : Live From The Mayan Coming to DIRECTV

http://lamusicblog.com/2015/05/news/muse-live-from-the-mayan-coming-to-directv/

 

In 4k. I definitely don't want front row now. My face in 4k. nooo.

I wonder if this will make things more strict. No cameras etc.

 

This actually makes me feel better about things. After reallyyyyy considering everything, I don't think it's economically or personally viable for me to go to this show alone :/ Now, if by some miracle I can stumble upon someone (and i swear, i think i've tried EVERYWHERE) offering a second ticket for less than $500, things will be different, but...

 

Hope y'all have a great time, though! I'll be haunting the setlist; hope they play lots of 'Absolution oldies', haha.

 

(*whispers* wish i could give one of you my unused ticket, too :c)

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

How nice of you!

I mostly get barrier because no one is directly in front of me and makes me feel less claustrophobic

 

Agreed. It's hard not to get claustrophobic when people are squeezing you against a metal barrier, but at least there's lots of fresh air on the other side XD I always like meeting the security fellows, as well.

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Ehh I've never been a "I must get a rail spot" type, I'm usually that tall guy that stands in the back sipping on some whiskey because I feel bad when shorter people behind me don't have a good view

 

As a member of the "impossibly short" population, i salute you for being a considerate human being <3

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

haha i deleted my post because it sounded kind of bitchy and I didn't mean to.

I hate being short so I NEVER wear flats. So when you see a woman walk up in wedges it will be me.

Yes we can party it up in line!! So excited!

 

I agree with MuseGal; impressive! I'm too worried about accidentally losing a toenail in the pit XD

 

& i plan on queueing as early as they will possibly allow me >.>

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

UGH I forgot about that hill

That hill is terrible.

 

So I might, MIGHT have an extra ticket to the Mayan, my friend doesn't know if she can get work off that day. I'll let you all know if she can't

 

 

I'm fairly certain you are the most popular person amongst Californian Muse fans at the moment (*whispers* i am also interested in this ticket.)

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

Considering this gig & Weenie Roast are back-to-back, is anyone thinking about doing both?

[2015.05.15- The Mayan, Los Angeles, CA, US]

I get travel anxiety every time I go somewhere, even if I'm not alone. Don't let it make your decision for you.

 

I've driven 20+ hours to gigs and non-music events dozens and dozens of times in my 20s, by myself, and often didn't even meet up with people there (although, tbf, sometimes I was working) and I've had great times.

 

Just do some pre-planning and research, don't leave figuring out how you're going to get to the venue to chance, for example, keep yourself safe, and it's great.

 

Well, goodness. Y'all are so supportive and encouraging! I think I might just take the plunge and start shopping for plane tickets when I get home this evening, then. I suppose I could always get a taxi back from the venue afterwards (The usual young and female curse. I've been harassed walking home from a show at night before and would rather not repeat that experience...).

 

I'm curious about how early to queue for barrier, as well - apparently The Mayan's office hours open at 10am, so maybe start queuing at nine? Suppose there's no way out of socializing with others, then... >.>
