bruce57 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 There are plenty of Muse songs that are excellent live, and there are plenty of songs that are just terrible live. Post your favorite/least favorite live song here! Mine: fav is US, least fav is UD.
Jaunzems Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Worst? TIRO. Soo boring. Best? Knights Of Cydonia!
Gohenko Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 These kind of questions are always difficult... Maybe my favourite would be...MotP or PiB or SS (mostly because of it's awesome live outro riffs! ) But I'll choose...hmm...wait... After five minutes of thinking, I came to a conclusion. It's impossible to say their best live song. But, their worst live song is definitely Undisclosed Desires. It just doesn't fit as a live song, yet they play it because it it so popular.
Gohenko Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Worst? TIRO. Soo boring. Best? Knights Of Cydonia! What?!? TIRO is boring live?? It is and will always be one of their best live songs!! But you have your opinions, can't blame you for that. But I agree that KoC is really good live!
Gohenko Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 TIRO is far too overrated for its own good. Well, it is not in my top 10 Muse, but it still is a great song in my opinion.
LyraSilvertongue Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Of the ones I've seen: Best - Bliss or Unnatural Selection (I'll probably change my mind on this) Worst - Guiding Light, although that song is useful if you need to go to the loo/bar.
Dee3Dee Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Of the ones I've seen: Best (can't pick just one): Bliss Take A Bow Stockholm Syndrome Citizen Erased I Belong To You Butterflies and Hurricanes Cave Ruled By Secrecy MK Ultra Map of the Problematique Worst (can't pick just one here either): Undisclosed Desires New Born (because it was some of the lamest shit ever this tour) Guiding Light Feeling Good Time Is Running Out
Relentless Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 TIRO is far too overrated for its own good. I never understood why people like TIRO so much. Best: Stockholm Syndrome (many many riffs please), KoC, CE, all of that stuff. Worst: GL and NSC share the spot of shame
TrebleRose689 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I've only seen Muse live once so far, so my opinions are limited Keep that in mind. Best: CE, KoC, SS Worst: UD
LyraSilvertongue Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Best: Bliss or RBS Worst: UD or GL UD would be my second worst. The worst performance for me was at the Casino de Paris where there weren't even any visuals to distract from the boredom of the song. I ended up just looking around at the audience, checking my phone etc till it was over.
JoshyBarth Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 TIRO, but its only bad cos its overplayed Every Muse song is amazing live Imo
Museyy Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 KoC is incredible live. The studio recording of resistance is incredible too, one of my fave songs of all time, but for some reason it doesnt sound as good live.
miss_meadows Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 UD would be my second worst. The worst performance for me was at the Casino de Paris where there weren't even any visuals to distract from the boredom of the song. I ended up just looking around at the audience, checking my phone etc till it was over. Same here. I only went to the Wembley gigs in 2010 and looked around the stadium during UD, checked my bracelets and neon sticks, adjusted my jacket and purse and all that jazz. Pretty useful song if you think about it...???
MUSESTL Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 I loved Starlight live but I am a little biased since it's my favorite song Stockholm Syndrome was one song that I never really liked the studio version of but live it was amazing Undisclosed Desires was pretty bad so I suppose I'll say it's their worst even though I've only been to one gig
dontask Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 best : TIRO, no other Muse song gets all the crowd going like it. Personal fave is probably Ruled By Secrecy, safe to say I wasnt expecting it after all the other treats at Wembley. worst: Supermassive Black Hole? It was awesome when they debuted it live, then they castrated it.
MUSESTL Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 worst: Supermassive Black Hole? It was awesome when they debuted it live, then they castrated it. I LOVED SMBH live
supernova14 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Of the ones I've seen: Best (can't pick just one): Bliss Take A Bow Stockholm Syndrome Citizen Erased I Belong To You Butterflies and Hurricanes Cave Ruled By Secrecy MK Ultra Map of the Problematique Worst (can't pick just one here either): Undisclosed Desires New Born (because it was some of the lamest shit ever this tour) Guiding Light Feeling Good Time Is Running Out I agree with this. I want to see Cave, Citizen Erased, Take A Bow, and Bliss so bad live! Stockholm Syndrome is awesome live. I agree with New Born because when they played it when I saw them, the sound was so jacked up, it was like they blasted it so much that the sound was not clear.
Curlyxz Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 New Born was definitely butchered this tour. Can't really point my finger on it, but it just hasn't aged well. It was so amazing before
ProblematiqueHurricane Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Been to one gig, ranked from favourite to least favourite: Stockholm Syndrome (Riffs + Guitar Throws) Bliss Uprising Knights of Cydonia Map of the Problematique Plug In Baby Hysteria New Born ----------------------------------------------- Supermassive Black Hole Starlight Time is Running Out United States of Eurasia Feeling Good Exogenesis: Overture Resistance ---------------------------------------------- Undisclosed Desires Guiding Light
Riveon Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 From the gig I went to, in order like above. Fantastic Newborn (If it was weak this tour I'd like to see what it was like before) Citizen Erased Knights of Cydonia Uprising (Mostly because of its position as an opener) Sunburn United States of Eurasia ---------------- Great/Pretty Good MotP Hysteria SBH Plug in Baby (This may have been better than I remember it being on second thoughts) Overture ----------------- Okay Undisclosed Desires Starlight Resistance Time is Running Out (Although his mic was malfunctioning) My memory of SS is sketchy; I can't remember what it was like.
Bs Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 best : TIRO, no other Muse song gets all the crowd going like it. Ahem...I refer you to from 0.36 to 0.44... Anyway, I'm sad to say that I agree with the comments about New Born...Something's missing at the moment somehow...Songs that I find I'm slightly bored through tend to be the Undisclosed Desires, Starlight, Supermassive Black Hole, Uprising, etcs of the world...Whether it's that I've heard them too many times, or it's the tedium of knowing how many people there ONLY know those songs that I hate, I don't know...(I was listening to the Wembley show on the 10th from the outside, and there were literally thousands of people leaving as soon as the main set finished, and then throughout the encore, throughout Stockholm Syndrome, Take A Bow, Plug In Baby, etc, none of them smiling except for one or two...I was actually disgusted to be honest because I knew a number of people who couldn't get tickets...Needless to say it was the genuine fans who waited till the end and came out of the stadium with their minds blown)... As far as best songs go, I guess part of it is hearing the rarer ones and your favourites...For example RbS at Wembley was so unexpected that I don't think I could really take in what I was hearing because I was so shocked XD. Shame that took away from it a bit. I'm willing to bet songs like Dead Star are up there but I've never had the privilege of experiencing it in person...As far as set staples go, SS obviously has to be up there for the chorus (the whole crowd pointing to the sky in unison for the "this is" part is always awesome to see XD)...
Supermassive_Deadstar Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 best: Fury, SS, Bliss (FALSETTO FTW, AND WHY CAPS LOCK?) worst: pretty much any soft song...apart from blackout
Sever Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Best: I was really blown away by RbS at Wembley, it just made me feel so awed. Really like SS, CE, MK, Bliss, SS and, prior to this tour, NB (it was a bit lame this tour). The way they started with Exo at the Stockholm-gig at the beginning of the tour really made that song stand out as well. Can't really pick just one favourite since it depends on the gig and my mood. My worst is Feeling Good though, it's just so fucking booring...
