Furygirl Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Imagine if they pulled a switch up at the Olympics Oh dear god. They'd be exiled from London for all eternity for making a mockery of the games! Do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackpot_Raptor Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Doesn't feel like an opener or closer to me. Could work as the transition song from piano back to guitar, put in some epic buildup before the song kicks off at 1.25. That would rock - Matt starting on piano and the switching to guitar . No! That's New Born's job, and I'll go to hell before I see New Born replaced by anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasWay89 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Every tour/gig we dream of them finally having an orchestra, I doubt they will have one. They'll just do what they do on the other OTT songs (BAH, USoE etc...) and use samples/Morgan for the extra parts. I can see it being a pretty epic stormer live, it's so bombastic and has some great riffage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I don't care what they do, as long as elton stays the fuck off the stage while Muse are performing and not get involved in any possible way, I'm fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Wells Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 If it's played live, I think it would be good to either walk on to, or to come back onto for an encore... The start, with the piano and choir can be played while they walk on, then when they get on, they start playing, from where the drums start.

Niall Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 What if tickets increased because they'll bring choir and orchestra on tour People say that before every tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 People say that before every tour. Well, this time we have at least two songs who actually have choirs. Btw, maybe not an orchestra, but a few choir&string&brass elements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People also say that before every tour We were dead certain they'd have to bring out an orchestra at some point when there was a symphonic song on The Resistance. Which never happened. And then again before the Wembley gigs. Pretty sure they'll use backing tracks like always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be so sure, it's getting more common now to bring a little string section/choir on tour... Kasabian had the Dirty Pretty Strings on their tour. It was just 4 girls with string instrumenta, but it worked. There's no need to go WAAAAYYY over the top, like Noel Gallagher did, and have something like, 80 people on stage at one time!

I am stilly hugely disappointed that Exogenesis wasn't performed in its entirety with the orchestra. Wembley was the perfect chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the New New born.... I dunno. I am not overly keen on the choir to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper_chondriac_muser Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Not sure how it will be performed live yet but it will definitley be played live. It will be getting worldwide exposure and plus theyre performing it at the closing ceremony so it will be well rehersed by the time the tour comes round. It will be a beast live, im sure of that. Agreed! Will be interesting to see how they handle the choir element for the tour, though. It's hardly as if Chris can assume the role of the whole choir, haha. If it's a backing track I'll be pissed, cos it won't feel right, but only other way is to lug a real choir around with them on the road - not sure if that'll work but would be v cool with a real choir .

garseys Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Can see this being played live on the tours. Morgan and Chris can do the male choir bit very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyneutron Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I think this will be off the scales live. Absolutely Massive as an opener or start to an encore. Also think it will open the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'd be alright with it as an encore opener, maybe even a gig opener, but not so much as an album opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'd be alright with it as an encore opener, maybe even a gig opener, but not so much as an album opener. As album opener I see Supremacy/Unsustainable way more than Survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maneachicken Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Muse have had years to take up the opportunity though...they may well do but I don't think it's more likely now that it has been before. If anything like they normally do for the BBC (thinking Children in Need and Jools Holland 2009), they might have a small string section, but only for the Olympic gig. As a gig opener I see Supremacy, with the strings tumbling down into a big crash, loads of distortion wails through into Plug in Baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiga Kagekami Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 As album opener I see Supremacy/Unsustainable way more than Survival. I agree. Especially if that newsreader is part of the song itself. I'm gonna assume there is something else before that bass drop and the song was edited to fit as a trailer. Would be weird to start off the album with a bass drop. As for Survival itself, it'll probably be near the beginning of the gig, or act as an opening for the encore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
