Con101 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 25 is usually the golden number in terms of anniversaries. Also the 1 year thing makes sense because a relatively big album tour could take place and the following year the special anniversary shows could happen. The 8th album thing bears no relevance I should have probably mentioned that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 But Muse usually tour for 3 years, so having the anniversary on the last one, when they've already toured the world makes more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con101 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 True enough, they could almost do it after the tour for the new album then. Providing it's going to be as big as T2L and TR tours. Not sure fans would be too happy about a 4/5 year wait for album 8 though :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydebank Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Kaoss pad is the perfect example of something with tons of potential that got really underused. Not really... he could do a little bit more with it, but it's no substitute for anything Morgan could do a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maneachicken Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Clearly not Am I thinking right that live Jonny and Ed from Radiohead use kaoss pads in Everything in it's Right Place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Am I thinking right that live Jonny and Ed from Radiohead use kaoss pads in Everything in it's Right Place? Not sure about Ed, Johnny definitely does to loop Thom's voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I think it's just Jonny. Could be wrong though. Kaoss pads allow live sampling, looping, all kinds of ambiance sounds (which to be fair he played with a bit in Isolated System, live) and for Matt probably even a way to control all the effects that are plugged into the guitar. Imagine all the improv Matt could be doing with the songs, instead of just a glitchy feedback solo during Supermassive. He just uses it as a toy, basically. Kinda like the keytar in the TR tour.

That's exactly my point. Why take away matt's guitar playing so he can mess around with a kaoss pad, when Morgan do that at the same time with a lot more possibilities?

FabriPav Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Since the "guitar playing" doesn't really involve any mindblowingly tricky parts... The point can be made for Morgan too, btw. It's not about Matt personally, just the use the band decides to make of the pad. edit: actually I don't see how it'd "take away matt's guitar playing". And you originally stated that he couldn't do more with it, which is obviously not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could matt be playing 'normal' guitar and be messing around on the pad at the same time? I'm taking about live of course, and in the studio, then why the kaoss pad, there are tons of other midi controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I never thought I'd say this but I'm with clydebank on this (I think, haven't really paid attention to what you guys wrote, seems like fabri is more interested in disagreeing with people who are usually wrong than actually making a point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (haven't really paid attention to what you guys wrote) *pats head* I did misunderstand his point at first. And the way I wrote it might have made it look like I only thought Matt should make kaoss pad noises. But that's not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witz Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 What's going on here, a disagreement ending with people taking in everyone's views and admitting their own faults. That certainly makes a change, latterly all discussion seems to end with arguments about what words are racist But yeah, you can do so much more with kaoss pad's, sustainers and even whammy pedals (Matt owns a DT now). Is this a problem? I'm not sure really as pushing creative boundaries can be good, it can sometimes be rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking about live of course, and in the studio, then why the kaoss pad, there are tons of other midi controllers. as much as I wish Matt would do more with it in the realms of ambience (i.e. what he fiddled with for IS live and what he used it for in early performances of invincible) I do agree that it would take a lot away from his guitar playing live... I do wish he'd have another song to use the glitchy, octave tremolo kind of sound he uses in SMBH live for because it would be cool to see the full extent of what he could do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
