Bumpypotato Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Because I actually really like BF I was about to change my vote. But that clip reminded me why I love GL so my vote for GL remains intact Fuck off Radke
FabriPav Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 It's simple: guiding light is seriously bad, big freeze is seriously good.
HaikuMarko Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Both are somewhat weak songs but no matter how much I try, GL is always skipped when I listen to TR
leah94rose Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 So. First Muse post for me on the message board! Been a long time fan, but never really got into the message boards. I figured I'd make this my first post. I think Big Freeze and Guiding Light are both equally awesome songs. The emotion Matt conveys when he sings these songs is wonderful.
Plug1nbaby Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I can't believe some people really don't like those songs. I like them both.
easilyforgotten Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I love Big Freeze! It makes me hopeful and cheers me up. Really uplifting, even the slightly camp echoes which I really like!
Hopix Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 i'm always reminded of this when i hear GL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wCaW6sNQwI the solo, the streamers, was epic. could've been because i was there and i'm not viewing it as objectively as others, but it's still a great song. What a gig. GL was actually really good live there.
MUSEingJoshuaTree Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 It's simple: guiding light is seriously bad, big freeze is seriously good. Hahahaha, well said! I skip Guiding Light, but I put Big Freeze on repeat!
Keth Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I don't mind Guiding Light that much (you all are so mean to GL ) But I like Big Freeze better because I have fun playing it on guitar ^_^
leah94rose Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 I love Big Freeze! It makes me hopeful and cheers me up. Really uplifting, even the slightly camp echoes which I really like! Completely agree!
Museic Syndrome Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Guiding Light is to Muse's discography what Nickelback is to rock music.
foldingstars Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 Poor Guiding Light I think my opinion might change if Big Freeze is bad live. Guiding Light was alright live.
canuckmuser14 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Posted October 13, 2012 Guiding Light is to Muse's discography what Nickelback is to rock music. I'm glad you used Nickelback as an example. What a fucking TERRIBLE band
STTrife Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 This poll really surprises me, well not the part about Guiding Light, that was a bit hard to get to like, but actually I think Big Freeze is one of the best songs of muse I also thought it was quite accessible, so I figured many people would like it, certainly not dislike it as the 'least good' song on the album (that would be Save Me imo...)
mysterious.orb Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Actually... I like both. And Explorers too! I've never heard a song by Muse which I don't like. BUT Guiding Light took me a while to like, but that's mainly because my phone rarely played it. The solo makes me laugh, because of that behind the scenes video. As for Big Freeze, I started liking it as soon as I heard it. Explorers is relaxing. I don't understand why people don't like these songs as much... Is it because they're used to their older songs? I don't really know. I'm a VERY new fan, I only started listening to them this year, when some people kept convincing me to listen to their music. Does this change the way I hear their music? Because I heard their newer stuff first? Who knows. All that matters to me is that I love their songs. Sorry this is very long
antoftheproblematique Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Have no idea why these are being compared...Big Freeze is a MUCH better song than GL. Whenever I hear GL, I almost wanna sing along in a farmer, west country accent...BF is a really great song, probably one of my faves off of T2L.
Hat Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I don't understand people who don't understand why someone would dislike a song. Especially when loads of reasons have been mentioned in just these few pages.
Dee3Dee Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I don't understand people who don't understand why someone would dislike a song. Especially when loads of reasons have been mentioned in just these few pages. Because everything Muse do has to be awesome by default, if you don't agree you're not a real fan.
Hat Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Why these two songs are being compared should be obvious too. They're both U2-inspired stadium "anthems".
Dee3Dee Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Why these two songs are being compared should be obvious too. They're both U2-inspired stadium "anthems". Exactly. And they're both candidates for "Worst shit Matt has ever written".
HannahG123 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Big freeze is so much better than GL IMO. It's just much more FUN and great to play along to on the piano
Jobby Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Only thing holding Big Freeze back for me are those horribly cringey backing vocals in the verses, they actually make hard for me to listen to it. If they weren't there, it'd probably be one of my most played songs on the album.
