Jobby Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 That's what I'm considering honestly. Muse is my favorite band but I'm not going to go see them if they're just going to play the same shit I saw 3 years ago with the addition of 3-4 new songs. Maybe once every tour but I'm fucking done with the idea of seeing them multiple times on the chance that they'll feel good that night and play something different for a change. You seem rather agitated, my good man. Might I recommend one of these?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave. Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'm just happy they didn't dump MoTP. It liiiiives! Only because Matt can't lose the pedal as he needs it for Big Freeze. I guess Big Freeze is a blessing in disguise because it saves MotP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DifferentPerson Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Throwing what occasions they played it at us doesn't mean jack - they've played it more times than Starlight. Stats are stats. Don't mean to be nit-picky but: http://www.setlist.fm/stats/muse-53d6ebd5.html Starlight - 379 Citizen Erased - 326 Obviously I'm not saying setlist.fm is the most reliable source though...

Hat Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Bliss is like Dead Star for me. It's a bit confusing why they don't play them more often seeing they were moderately successful singles and get the crowd going. I can only assume the band don't like the songs which is justification enough for why they don't play it, but still. But they HAVE been playing it often, for several years.

Alexander DeLarge Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 But yeah, Citizen Erased has definitely not been played more than Starlight on The Resistance tour, MAYBE throughout their entire career but I'd be willing to bet Starlight has been played more.

No one ever said anything about the resistance tour. You just said it had been played more times than Starlight and I disagreed. If your point is just about TR tour, then you're missing the point. Them being bored of it stems from the amount of times they've played it since 2001, not 2009... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave. Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Simon, have you ever considered running for the presidency? You're an amazing debator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lnx Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 What makes you think they're trying to be Coldplay? Coldplay nearly always play more than 20 songs at each gig, and usually play at least one old album track that lots of the audience probably don't know. If Muse were 'being like Coldplay' at their shows then I'm pretty sure there would be a lot less complaining around here. Not really, beacuse Coldplay have played exactly the same setlist at all this year's shows, for example. Other things... their stadium gigs are 1,5 hour long (like Muse's arena set), they have played with Rihanna, etc. etc. Also, I shall repeat myself: Not the amount of songs is a problem, it's the duration of the whole gig. Usually, if the band has mostly short songs, they play a lot of them to increase the length of a gig. I mean, if you have 15 songs in the setlist and playing them takes you 2 hours, it's OK.

Hat Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Simon, have you ever considered running for the presidency? You're an amazing debator Political debates are among the most ignorant things you can get involved in, so no thanks. Especially Swedish politics. "Why do you think like this?" "I don't think like that actually, never said I ha-" "BUT THIS IS WHAT I THINK YOU THINK LIKE, NOW EXPLAIN WHY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 That was great fun and Matt was hilarious! Really dunno what that was all about! Loved all the new songs live, sounded really good in the flesh. So have been given the opportunity to be there I do hope the tour setlists will be longer, seemed a really short gig. If that's what I'll get for my £65, I'll be very disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume the band don't like the songs which is justification enough for why they don't play it, but still. Yeah I'm really wondering about the reluctance to play pretty much anything from pre-2004 apart from PIB and TIRO as well. Is it uncomfortable? In the same way that digging up the past and reading a diary you wrote ten years ago would make you cringe, does singing lyrics you wrote ten years ago have the same effect? Or are they just fed up of the songs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'm talking about the whole "they played CE at least 30-40 times during the TR tour." You said they played it that much throughout the TR tour. I was counting them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sammy! Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 But they HAVE been playing it often, for several years. Oh, of course! It's just a bit confusing why they haven't played it more like say PiB. Obviously PiB gets the better reaction, but still. Dead Star is the blatant missing link though.

Muse is my favorite band but I'm not going to go see them if they're just going to play the same shit I saw 3 years ago with the addition of 3-4 new songs. Maybe once every tour but I'm fucking done with the idea of seeing them multiple times on the chance that they'll feel good that night and play something different for a change. This is why you don't go to 2 dates on the same arena tour, you're just not going to get a variation. You might get 1 or 2 differences, nothing major. If you look at my gig list, my method is to go to one date every arena tour (since Abso) and then always go to the one-offs, festival headlines, stadiums, special event gigs etc... As a result (and with a bit of dumb luck) the list of Muse songs (B sides aside) that I've not seen (and in most cases, on multiple occasions) is pretty small. This is of course harder outside of the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The only reason the fans bitch is because they get no acknowledgement. Toss in Muscle Museum/Showbiz/Sunburn and Dead Star/Citizen Erased/Micro Cuts/Fury at least once every show and it will stop. Trust me, I remember the board while they played some of this stuff regularly during BHaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lnx Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Horrible, just horrible. May they burn in hell. It's not horrible actually. But imagine reactions here if Muse would play with her (or some other pop star). That was my point. Not to mention that Matt is a pop star by himself.

Wouldn't mind them performing with Pink, Lady Gaga or Adam Lambert for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
