CarrieB Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Eh,It'd be all right without the doubleneck noises. Those are ridiculously useless. Not sure what you're on about to be honest. You surely don't mean the intro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Not sure what you're on about to be honest. You surely don't mean the intro? The stuff he plays with the doubleneck before the song live. It is one of their most pointless live things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord MFC Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Adagio in Gminor or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I remember about that is being mesmerized by spotlights off guitar... and I think my boyfriend just saw his first doubleneck, and soiled his pants. He still talks about it.

No I don't agree I'm afraid. I think it puts the whole song in context. It's very sad actually and completely fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very sad actually and completely fitting. Well by the time they got the doubleneck Resistance was played after UD. UD was already boring enough live so an extended intro to Resistance, which isn't their most energetic song live to begin with, just really slowed the gig down when I saw that. I really don't mind Resistance but it just kills the energy in the gig with that intro and its placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HannahG123 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I hate how the NME Misinterpret things or word things in a certain way that others will. The 'where do we go from here?' makes you think the band has run out of ideas, but to me from reading it, Matt is referring to humans living in a dying world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 With the doubleneck wasn't Resistance right after Uprising? First time the doubleneck was used was in the Casino de Paris gig I think. That was the start of the summer rotation of setlists where they played Resistance later on in the gig. When they did the next fall arena tour in the US though they brought Resistance back to 2nd.

Okay I can see that, but I'm personally more for appreciating music for what it is, and the meaning and atmosphere of it rather than worrying about whether it keeps the energy of a gig going. Undisclosed Desires might not have been an energetic track, incidentally, but I could still appreciate the atmosphere it produced. I'm not adverse to a chillout section mid gig.

The 'where do we go from here?' makes you think the band has run out of ideas, but to me from reading it, Matt is referring to humans living in a dying world I think it's both. I don't think of it as much as "run out of ideas" but that they weren't sure which way to go after The Resistance. They weren't sure whether they had made it as big as it could go, and they needed to draw back. It seems they took the opposite decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what atmosphere does it produce? Live it's just dull, without all the amazing studio version echoes and strings. A slow gig section is different from a dull gig section.

Alec Ferris Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 1. More rotation. 2. Liquid State being about Chris' drinking? How did we not see that? Because we were all focused on the apocalypse theme? Gonna go out there and say I'm buzzing like... no, hang on, I've run out of superlatives for this level of buzzing. I think it's both.

Pretty much what Fabri said. When I see something like Blackout and Unintended from HAARP it really gives the chill portion of the gig the calming and emotional atmosphere. I don't get that from UD or Resistance, both in person or recorded gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get that from UD or Resistance, both in person or recorded gigs. Each to their own really. I found it atmospheric. Different to Blackout and Unintended obviously. I think with Resistance, the intro kind of put the song in context, made it more poignant. With Undisclosed I appreciated the vibe and the execution.

mjartrod Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Agreed UD wasn't a strong live song to put it mildly but I gotta say I loved the intro and ending live, it was beautiful. With Muse it's not whether you go big. It's how you go big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova13 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hmm well Chris said it, not Matt, so you never know. Yeah. I like how Chris is like "I think we need to rotate more." It sounds like he didn't even like some of the setlists on TR tour, but it also shows that he doesn't really have that much power over the setlists either.

serpentsatellite Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 "... going into the peacefulness of what actually is going to happen at the end of it all, which is nothingness." Is a far cry from ToaDA... I don't know if I'm more worried about the quality of the album after reading that article, or Matt's mental health. So, Chris sings two songs? Did I read that right?

CarrieB Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think this Bings heartbeat is a little too much... I agree. Get a grip Matt! Next he'll have the Michael Jackson style arriving on stage on a cross. However it will probably sound cool if it's used in the context of new beginnings and the heartbeat of mankind.
