sade Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 A "Best of" would probably be treated in the same way. Because for all the casuals who would buy a "Greatest hits"....well, "Greatest hits" already implies that it's a "best of" collection. Otherwise it would've been called "Mediocre singles" or "Single collection". My point was more to say that Greatest Hits doesn't really need even the few rarities. With a "Best of" you have more freedom and some collections of bands with long careers do have good and though-out selections. But yeah, it would probably be just a cheap money-grab whatever the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 They are the same thing with different names. I dunno, I've always seen 'Greatest Hits' as being a collection of the best-selling/well-known singles (with the occasional album track that's very well-known as well) while a 'Best Of...' is more of a collection of the bands best songs, not just sticking to singles and having more freedom to move about a band's discography. Obviously, there's grey areas and the two do cross over a bit, this is just the way I see it anyway, I'm not saying I'm objectively right or anything or that this is always the case. Anyway, ain't this thread aboot a tour or sutin? Edit: Jesus, that came across like I was writing an essay or something. Sorry, I've just finished writing one for school so it's rubbed off on me a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo eighteen Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 ^ I think that's kind of true, but "Best Of"'s are still usually compiled by the record label, so of course they're going to want to include songs that are therefore also "hits" - unless Muse had a deal with Warner to make their own tracklist and did some kind of fan vote on the website to include songs. And then they probably wouldn't even adhere to the results anyway. "Space Dementia? Micro Cuts??? How about Guiding Light!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nipso Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Just thinking that Isolated System would be better if they actually played it live, maybe with Matt on the piano with some loop pedals, or Matt, Chris and Morgan all on Keyboards.

Butrus Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Just thinking that Isolated System would be better if they actually played it live, maybe with Matt on the piano with some loop pedals, or Matt, Chris and Morgan all on Keyboards. They actually do play half of it live. Dom's drumming live and Matt creates some of guitar noises. There was also a pic of Chris playing the bass under the stage. And talking of "The Best" thing I'd suggest making a simple "Singles Collection" which is the most realistic thing to expect from Muse. There may be some deluxe thing with all the singles on separate discs with their original b-sides and covers And a "Singles Live" DVD accompanying the CD. It may be a better thing than a DVD with Muse's MVs, since they're generally ...ermmm....not so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd just be a case of Matt and maybe Morgan looping a few keyboard parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go as far as saying that maybe this super high quality recording doesn't do the song very much justice? Or do you mean MM in general?

AguanteRiver Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Maybe we should give 'em a rousing chorus of Can you see that I am needing, begging for so much more than you could ever give? And I don't want you to adore me, don't want you to ignore me, when it pleases you. when they go for their pISs break. The lyrics fit the American Muser situation. Although tbh Dead Star fits too.

forevermusic Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The set for last night's gig makes no sense - fair enough Chris was ill so didn't sing and they may have wanted a change but Follow Me between the two piano tunes and Unsustainable into Madness is just confusing and mental.
