I'd_Rather_Dance Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I just recently heard this song for the first time. Oh Holy God... Majestic. ...Gave me goosebumps too. I've been playing it over and over again like some teenybopper listening to N*Sync or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffpietiff Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It's, well... ...glorious. And it's Muse's best song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi of Cydonia Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Were all the performances of Glorious live before Muse started using Morgan? I can't tell if it's just the recordings of it on YouTube are bad and aren't picking up much besides Matt, Chris, and Dom or if there just simply isn't a backing track/Morgan playing anything. It's too bad the live version sounds so empty and rough compared to the studio version (which doesn't sound the best either but is definitely cleaner than the live recordings). (Sorry for the really huge bump but I figured it was better to just continue this thread rather than starting a new one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DifferentPerson Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 They last played Glorious in 2005 I think, and I think they started using Morgan (regularly) in 2006, so yes. And never playing Glorious since its release is one of the worst decisions Muse have ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 There was no Morgan then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 When did they start using Morgan actually? I know it was in the BH&R tour but was it right from the first gig or a few gigs in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DifferentPerson Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 They had him playing piano on Sunburn at one gig in 2006 didn't they? That was before BHAR was released I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The Sunburn gig was at the start of the tour yeah. I don't remember seeing him at Shepherd's Bush though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 It's too bad the live version sounds so empty and rough live version sounded insaaaaaaaane. But yeah, no Morgan When did they start using Morgan actually? I know it was in the BH&R tour but was it right from the first gig or a few gigs in? Straight away I think in Dundee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mskatie Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 "Glorious" has been my favorite Muse song from the first time I heard it-actually I listened to it about ten times in a row when I discovered it exists. It deserves to be played live. In a stadium it would be amazing, It'll never happen, but it's fun to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 And never playing Glorious since its release is one of the worst decisions Muse have ever made. Not properly releasing it in the first place was a bigger mistake... Fucker should have been on a proper album, so they had more reason to play it in the first place... Best damn song they've ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee3Dee Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well according to Chris it seems like they were planning to do like a B-sides/rarities gig before they decided to do Origin at R/L, so I guess there was a brief moment where Glorious might have been played. Dunno if a proper B-sides/rarities gig is something they would consider again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipso Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well according to Chris it seems like they were planning to do like a B-sides/rarities gig before they decided to do Origin at R/L. Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee3Dee Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Really? Yeah, it was mentioned in some interview leading up to R/L. I think it might have been in that big NME/Q/whatever special. Lemme find it. EDIT: Chris: .... "So we've been thinking for a long time about what we can do - we were talking for a while about doing some sort of B-sides set, or playing stuff that we haven't played for a long time. There are a lot of older songs that never get a look in." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gohenko Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 When did they start using Morgan actually? I know it was in the BH&R tour but was it right from the first gig or a few gigs in? (Muse met him during the Absolution tour when they asked him to replace Chris for one gig and then) while doing BHaR they decided to ask him to become a regular live member in order to be able to cut down on all the backing tracks, as they thought that on the Absolution tour they relied too much on them. Or something like that, I'm not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah the Absolution point is completely irrelevant to Morgan and Glorious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohenko Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah the Absolution point is completely irrelevant to Morgan and Glorious That's why I used brackets for that part But anyways...Kueller, I think Morgan was there right from the very start of the BHaR tour, since Muse apparently asked him to become a regular live member before they started the tour. But as I said, not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bells Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 And never playing Glorious since its release is one of the worst decisions Muse have ever made. Yes. Glorious has been my favourite Muse song and one of my all time favourite songs ever since the moment I heard it live under the name of DES in 2004. Shame on you, Muse, shame on you.

sade Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Glorious has never been one of my faves but it's clearly one of the better non-album tracks. People complain about BH&R production issues and Glorious is actually one song where the production does bother me (whether or not it was recorded/mixed at the same sessions I do not know). It sounds cacophonic and weirdly muddled to me, like it the production was never quite finished. It's a little hard to enjoy as a listening experience even if the chorus melody is quite nice.
