JonDecolongon Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Do you have the tendency to go, well this old(er) song is better! I have a friend who likes the songs Madness, Starlight etc...They're not bad songs, but I always try to introduce him to songs like Butterflies and Hurricanes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Depends, has the friend heard any of the older albums in entirety? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonDecolongon Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Depends, has the friend heard any of the older albums in entirety? Nope. I guess its just the hipster in me. I can't count the times I've went crazy of people posting videos of Starlight or Undisclosed Desires and think that's Muse's best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiga Kagekami Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Nahh, not really. Because I know in my group of friends I'm the only one who really likes Muse as a whole. It's just that most of my friends are interested in mainstream pop, and if I see them posting Muse on their Facebook then I just give a like and that's pretty much it. Of course, if I know that the person is genuinely interested in giving Muse a go, then I'll start introducing more to him/her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polythenelucy Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I don't really push the old stuff on anyone but I'll play OoS and some b-sides around my friends. usually they're interested but at least they'll know that people don't always like Muse for just Starlight, Madness, etc. I do, however, have a tendency to talk about how much I'd prefer hearing old songs over the new stuff. I was ranting about the LA 3 setlist with some Musers after the gig, and later my friend (Muse noob) who went to the gig with me said that she was surprised to hear Muse playing so many "old songs". so I felt a little bad that she had to witness our Muser rant...she was probably thinking to herself, "what's wrong with Resistance??"

Furygirl Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Well, when you've tried to introduce the older songs, what happens? Muse doesn't really come up among my "irl" friends. They already think I'm weird, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyduh Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 hipster lol You can tell them they should check out their other music as well, or if they're interested, you could send them a couple of songs you consider to be better. But I'm really not bothered with my friends liking newer or more popular Muse songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaking Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It pretty much takes away everything that makes IBTY special. Ya. And they added parts that make it sound bad. The studio versions of 2 of the 3 tracks are great though (love me some SMBH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijs Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 TBH, if I compare songs like Sunburn or Showbiz with Uprising or Resistance, it would just be a weird comparison. Muse has changed, and I'm not sure if better is a good word in that context. Yes, I prefer the beefier songs on the new albums (MK Ultra, Animals, Supremacy, Unnatural Selection), but the other songs are mostly a very different style. With songs like Madness, Panic Station and Undisclosed Desires, Muse has shown that they're not just in there for the rock, and that they try to experiment. To the horror of a lot of long time fans, but I think it's not that black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
