Rate / Rank Muse songs live

Starlight is crap. Nothing would make me happier than to see it disappear.

SMBH on the other hand is a great live song, I loved jumping around to it. I quite enjoy the kaoss pad wankery as well:LOL:

 

from the songs I've personally seen live, the best ones were:

 

Unsustainable

Survival

Supremacy

Uprising

and Follow Me, as well, surprisingly. I'm not a great fan of that song, but when I experienced it live, it was intense. loved it.

 

worst live songs out of what I've seen:

Madness, but that's quite obvious.

UD, still pretty obvious

Starlight

I love Explorers on the album, but it really isn't a song for arenas or stadiums, I admit, it was quite a drag at the gig I went to.

Explorers is a bore fest live, though I quite like it on the album. I like SMBH live since it works so well with Map and PS. In terms of songs I've seen live I'll do a top 10 bottom 5

 

Stockholm Syndrome (it annoys me though when everyone around me sings the fucking riff and I can't actually hear the riff itself)

Unsustainable

Supremacy

Butterflies & Hurricanes (an absolute beast the other night)

Hysteria

Map

Animals

Supermassive

USoE

Survival

 

New Born

Feeling Good

UD

Guiding Light

Explorers

Maybe it was just the shows I went to (January), but I thought Follow Me was dreadful live, especially after I'd heard stories about how much better it was live. Matt struggled to sing anything after the bass drop at each show and he looks like a little kid throwing a tantrum on the floor instead of being a rock star. It was less painful at the time since the very next song was UD, which suddenly made me miss the hell out of Follow Me, but I've grown to dislike that song more and more.

 

Anyway, from what I've seen in person:

 

Top 5:

Bliss

Map of the Problematique

Butterflies and Hurricanes

Time Is Running Out

Ruled by Secrecy

 

Bottom 5:

Undisclosed Desires

Explorers

Guiding Light

Resistance (don't dislike on the album, but such a drag live)

Save Me

I THOUGHT OF THIS IDEA LAST NIGHT FREAKY VOODOO SHIT MAN.

 

I'm a bit busy to really get stuck into lists right now, but can I just honourably mention Survival, because it's fucking kicked my ass every single time I've seen it. Even better with the stadium show pyro too. That solo. Those riffs... Waaaahhhhhhh. :facemelt:

 

(and then they close with Starlight instead, fffff...)

I've only seen them live once (back in March), but from what I remember my favorites were Knights of Cydonia, Follow Me, Madness, Time Is Running Out, and Starlight (in no particular order). Also, I don't remember MOTP and Eurasia being super great, but I got addicted to those songs shortly after hearing them live, so they must've done something right :LOL:

My list, a few of which I don't remember very clearly and some of which I don't remember very well and some of which I only saw from the Gods, so I'm judging them a bit differently. (UD, for example, is actually quite enjoyable when you're just standing still anyway).

Time is Running Out

Knights of Cydonia

Plug in Baby

Supremacy

Supermassive Black Hole

United States of Eurasia

Sunburn

Falling Down

Unsustainable

Map of the Problematique

Liquid State

I just can't understand how UD and Explorers might be better live than Resistance, Uprising and New Born.

 

UD was good because its slowness and 'boringness' weren't apparent from the seats, because I was gonna be motionless either way. It was like listening to the song on record, which I like.

 

I liked Explorers because it was placed perfectly in the set at the gig I'm not allowed to mention, after the insanity that was Knights. Perfect breather, and again, I like the song as a piece of music.

 

Resistance I did enjoy, but again, only from the Gods, and I like UD and Explorers more as songs. Uprising has been shite this tour compared to how good it seems to have been on the Resistance tour, and New Born... well, we all know the problem with New Born.

I've only seen them once last December and can't remember everything clearly, but because it was my first gig, every song was exciting at that moment. But I guess Explorers and UD were quite boring. During Explorers I only took pictures... Not a fan of Madness too, only the looooooove part was very beautiful.

 

The most exciting songs were Stockholm Syndrome, Knights of Cydonia, Hysteria, Sunburn and SMBH, went totally crazy even though I was seated :D Plug in Baby and Survival were definitely awesome too, but can't remember anything... Have to say Follow Me too, I didn't like it very much before hearing it live, after that I realized that I love it. Can't say any order, maybe after the stadium gig I can.
