kueller Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 More pyramids would be rubbish - they've done that twice. In fact, the whole 1984 'Ministry' idea is a bit tired tbh. I don't think they're doing 1984 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sade Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sounds positive though - a 1,000-2,000 sized venue tour after the main tour would be amazing. I don't disagree obviously, but I don't see it as anywhere near realistic. I mean, they probably have all of 2013 planned, most likely most of 2014, as well- do they really want to keep on touring just for the sake of it (without considerable financial incentive) after a grueling world tour? It would basically be fan service. I see maybe a one-off gig(s) a possibility, but not a tour. Also, I would NOT want to be in this forum when the tickets go on sale and 90% would be left without.

HannahG123 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 yeah we all say how amazing intimate gigs would be now but we will be begging for arena tours again when noone manages to get tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caff Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 If there's a whole tour of intimate gigs it's easier to get them though. I dunno. Another band I like did an intimate tour where you had to turn up at the venues to buy tickets and a lot of people still didn't get tickets, but the same group of around 10 women miraculously got tickets to every gig. Caused a bit of resentment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea but it's a nightmare to get tickets to arena gigs, I can't imagine how it would be for smaller venues. It'd have to be something really well thought out.

leetroot Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 I've always loved the idea of smaller venues. I hate stadiums (but yes.. I am going to a few ). I'm not interested in the 'show' at all, I just want to see Muse and I'd rather see them in relative close up than as ants in the distance. But yeah, I'll only love those small shows if I get to go! Being cynical, maybe it's poor ticket sales for the stadium tour that has made them reconsider how expensive it all is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he talked about stripped back album and shows after the resistance and we ended up with arenas with a giant pyramid hanging from the ceiling.

I'm pretty sure he talked about stripped back album and shows after the resistance and we ended up with arenas with a giant pyramid hanging from the ceiling. There's a quote here somewhere (can't remember which thread off hand) where Matt says that he has wanted to do more acoustic tracks on their albums but he hasn't been able to persuade Dom or Chris up to now. It's not the same thing but it's interlinked I suppose as acoustic songs work better in intimate shows. I would love to see them do more intimate shows but obviously there would be a problem with tickets for smaller gigs, so I'm not sure how practical it is. Maybe if they did both, big shows and intimate shows, but that might mean that they did less arena shows, and those of us who missed out on tickets would only be able to see them at stadiums. Of course that is unless their popularity snow dived. Hopefully that won't happen but, if it did, smaller shows would be the upside I suppose.

serpentsatellite Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I would be willing to believe he truly means he'd WANT to do them... but the logistics just don't seem to be there... Giving tickets to forum members, as well, what's to stop people from just mass signing up when they realize that's how it goes down? It might work in some US states, maybe, but not many. I couldn't even get tickets for the other Muse show I wanted to go to. Friend keeps bitching over going to the Imagine Dragons show, but they're playing some pissant tiny little venue and tickets are up to like $500. Would sort of negate Matt bitching about "rich" fans being boring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said in 2007 that they'll never write an electronic track. Literally half a year later - Undisclosed Desires was made. Half of Matt's promises and ideas do not materialise. Seems like he took after Bono in this department as well. The latter actually promised some stripped back small shows a hundred years ago and then we had The Claw on the fully stadium 360 Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably not worth depending too much on what is said in an interview about future plans. Some of it will come to fruition. Some of it won't. It doesn't mean that it is completely made up, more that it's a reflection of what is being thought about at the time of the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving tickets to forum members, as well, what's to stop people from just mass signing up when they realize that's how it goes down? What kind of logistics are you thinking about because I can't think of any that would be an issue? - venues: I imagine there is no difference between booking a small or big venue - logistics: I would be a lot easier to move gears from one venue to the other as there would be a lot less than their normal production. - tickets: again I can't see a problem with that At the end of the day if they have a team that can organise arena and stadium tours I'm sure they have the expertise to organise a small venue tour.

Alexander DeLarge Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I really just hope they throw the United States a bone. I really want to attend Emirates but I'm not willing to spend $2000 on a trip when I'm seeing them five times here on this tour alone. They really should do a stadium gig in NYC and LA on the way to Australia. Intimate gigs next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
