Olly. Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 If you have gone to the recent stadium shows, did you enjoy starlight as a closer of the whole show? Or even if you didnt go, thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrebleRose689 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 So you seriously don't already know what the results are gonna be? Every one of my "casual" fan friends & family (including my parents) have reacted negatively when I told them about Starlight as a closer Even they know it's awful.

Guest Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I wouldn't complain if Knights of Cydonia was used for closing every single one of their gigs in the future. Starlight is pretty bad in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 In all honesty I don't mind it. Of course I'd much prefer they end with SS or Survival but fuck it at least they're not ending with UD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 at least they're not ending with UD That's scary just thinking about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frakkles Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Or we could just have a good fucking closer to start with. I'll never get the "at least they're not..." rationale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_ Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Your face at Emirates said it all, really. That bad? But no, it's pretty crap. For a singalong it's good but maaaan it's an anticlimax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 it's an anticlimax And Supremacy isn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanp16 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 ... Supremacy isn't closing? I know yeah but it's still a massive anticlimax of a song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopix Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I think it closes well. Tons of songs would work better though... Take a Bow, Survival, KoC, Stockholm Syndrome, Uprising etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Your point? My point is that Muse are the gods of anti climacticness (or whatever the word is) and a lot of people are giving Starlight shit for closing and being an anticlimax yet at the same time they're opening with the most anti-climactic song ever and no one says a thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee3Dee Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I think it's about time we have Showbiz closing again. It's been 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I think it closes well. It doesn't. No way. My point is that Muse are the gods of anti climacticness (or whatever the word is) and a lot of people are giving Starlight shit for closing and being an anticlimax yet at the same time they're opening with the most anti-climactic song ever and no one says a thing That's because Supremacy works fine as the first song. And closing is different from opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frakkles Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Supremacy would be a much better closer than Starlight, especially if Matt went full out on the falsetto like he did at the E-Werk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraffah Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Only reason I knew it ended the show at Ricoh was because a good friend had texted me the leaked setlist and told me so. No-one else in the crowd realised this. Says it all to me, really. A closer should have a feeling of "this is the end" to it. Starlight doesn't. Nuff said.

I knew Starlight was closing thanks to reading some posts in the "There will be no warning" thread (I thought that would be safe from spoilers ) so I wasn't surprised. My friend who's a casual fan who only knows the hits didn't mind it obviously, and I imagine that a lot of casual fans didn't care either. But the ending just didn't feel final to me. Just swapping Starlight and Survival around would have been fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneonfish Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I can only assume that the people who voted yes are voting ironically. Nobody can be that stupid, can they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
