serpentsatellite Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The word "eccentric" is nicer. Highlights difference in less of a damning black and white "nutjob" contextualization. Peeps with certain alternative interests/beliefs aren't all looney tunes, case in point Matt Bellamy Here's the thing... I'm familiar not just with some of his theories, but some of the "organizations" he works with. I don't agree with pretty much anything they "stand" for, but you know what? That's fine. Dissenting opinions, and all. Even if some of it is downright, insanely dangerous (anti-immunization, nuts and berries cure AIDS, etc.) But while you're lashing out at everyone here for mocking him, are you aware that his FBs are fukk of him mocking everyone else that doesn't agree with him? His FB is full of "deeeerrr MURRICA!" and other childishly, intentionally misspelled insults. So, fair game, I say, if that's how one wants to play... Anyways, what's really sad, is that type of thing is pretty much (exactly) just one big circle jerk for the "believers." Instead of having a normal conversation that might (but wouldn't) be informative in any way, it's just self-aggrandizing whackjobery and "everyone else is soooo stooopid." Maybe he's a nice, passionate "eccentric" in person, but he doesn't attempt to come off that way online. And hearing this guy say Muse's new album is a "game changer for humanity" actually scared me more about the album than anything so far. (yay, Muse related.)

Dominic. Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I never knew about HCM. The acoustic is in standard I think but yeah, electric is drop D Agitated Fuck yes! There we go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I like how this is becoming a character judgment thread. All I'm saying is let's discuss shit without throwing ad hominems about because we can't discuss anything substantial. guy posts hilariously exaggerate pretentious comments about new muse video people point out that he's a weird, crazy person with questionable opinions, end up insulting him you get all defensive because he did you a favour this is a summary of the character judgement thread. I noticed you didn't deny anything of what I said though. I would like to drop (D)* this argument now * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Was there any doubt about that being Mutt Lange? Who else would it be. For some reason the voice made me not think the obvious. I guess that's not how I thought he would sound for some reason... which is a totally stupid assumption on my part.

Dominic. Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Actually I can't remember exactly but is Overdue? I mostly doubt it but I swear there was one song on Showbiz that was Drop D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I wonder if Matt will continue using the toaster Kempers on tour or whether he'll switch to rack units? These are the questions we need to be asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 For the record, iirc that guy's hyperbolic comments were just about the video, not the album. For some reason the voice made me not think the obvious. I guess that's not how I thought he would sound for some reason... which is a totally stupid assumption on my part. I did expect him to have a different accent lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 If he doesn't use Kempers anymore, will you sell yours? It's okay. Biffy and NIN still use them. Plus they have more songs in Drop D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Vaguely more on topic, never was keen on matts live guitar tones last tour. I liked the one he used for Bliss but in general wasn't really a fan of the sound, and no Fabri it's not the Kempers fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picko Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I never knew about HCM. Yeah, the distorted power chords (G5, D5, C5) in the second verse and onwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneonfish Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It's not a case of being accepting of other people's views, it's a case of rightly criticising someone for having utterly ridiculous views that can actually be pretty damaging. I don't really care about the 'ad hominem' either, and as Serpent point out, he clearly doesn't either. Just because you get offended by it doesn't mean you're right. I also agree with Fabri, I don't think he contributed anything meaningful anyway. Obscenely pretentious drivel which has told us (pretty much) stuff we've known already. I couldn't care much less about this video either, high art though it might be. I'm quite enjoying the little teasers though, it's nice hear little snippets of stuff and hopefully we'll get something substantial soon. Edit: If that's Mutt Lange in that video, who's the voice in the other video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I liked the tones for Supremacy, SBH, NB, Fury, Futurism, Dead Star etc. wasn't so keen on SS though. Sounded too much like the studio tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the one he used for Bliss but in general wasn't really a fan of the sound, and no Fabri it's not the Kempers fault Weird, I thought the Bliss tone was by far the weakest of the whole tour maybe after Hysteria. Dead Star tone was massive. Edit: If that's Mutt Lange in that video, who's the voice in the other video? What other video? The one with Chris playing clean bass? I remember only Chris, Dom and Matt there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriAr Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I thought the tones for the last tour were pretty good, except for the SMBH one, that was one horrific fuzzy mess! And Hysteria's was too clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Actually I can't remember exactly but is Overdue? I mostly doubt it but I swear there was one song on Showbiz that was Drop D Overdue's standard. Coma might be, but I can't remember. Who Knows Who might be too... does it count though?

redneonfish Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 What other video? The one with Chris playing clean bass? I remember only Chris, Dom and Matt there. Yeah, that one: http://instagram.com/p/y5b72nnXcA/?modal=true Am I being insanely stupid and not recognising that guy who speaks at the start?

Mattestro Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 What other video? The one with Chris playing clean bass? I remember only Chris, Dom and Matt there. Think he's on about the voice which says "with chris new bass sound" in one of the videos. Sounds like they have a bit of an accent Edit: Nevermind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Overdue's standard. Coma might be, but I can't remember. Who Knows Who might be too... does it count though? I think Who Know's Who is Drop C, or at least it is when the riff is played live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
