ryanp16 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 There were a lot of things about that setlist that baffled me a bit but I couldn't be arsed highlighting every single bit tbh Plus, I think it's their first setlist so I didn't want to nit-pick or be harsh. My first setlist was probably awful. Heheh, Frakkles wouldn't have went along with that kind of soft attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 . Blackout ends on the same note as the first in Prelude, or at least so it seems. Well, after Blackout comes Survival. So technically you have the Prelude linking both songs. I actually think that sounds awesome if they were to play the piano version of Blackout.

FabriPav Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Well, after Blackout comes Survival. So technically you have the Prelude linking both songs. Also, they meant Blackout and Prelude, not IS and Blackout. EDIT: Sorry for double posting. I can see your reasoing for that, but I still don't think it works. Mainly because Blackout ends on a high, or maybe it's just my dislike for Prelude in general. It doesn't even lead that well into Survival, imo. I actually think that sounds awesome if they were to play the piano version of Blackout. Which would suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not really my thing but they had to be here somewhere. And also, I don't get why MK Ultra isn't played live often. It's got everything to be perfect live! The main set is a bit all over the place tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout works best when it's leading into something with big beefy riffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanp16 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Big beefy riffs galore in Survival imho. Yeah but it takes ages before they come in. I meant from the start like Stockholm, Dead Star or even Uprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Don't do that, go ahead! Constructive criticism is a major step for improvement! Okay then, if you really want me to What's He Building > Supremacy - WHB needs something heavy and energetic after it considering it's about 3 and a half minutes of build-up, Supremacy doesn't really fill that role. Supremacy > Resistance - Resistance isn't great live anyway and 2nd spot is way too early for it. Panic Station - I don't really like it live 'cause I think it's quite boring, that's just personal preference though. Supermassive > TIRO - The two don't really go that well together imo, TIRO wants to be later in the setlist I think. Animals > Sunburn - Not awful but a bit of a weird transition, also I'd recommend having most of the piano songs in one section. Sunburn > Knights - Not the best flow imo. Follow Me > MOTP > B&H - Good flow, I'm just not much of a fan of Follow Me (personal preference again though). B&H > Unintended - A bit jarring to move from such a big, heavy song into an extremely soft and slow one. New Born > Liquid State > Dracula Mountian - Not bad, just drop the Save Me intro. Unsustainable closing the main set - Unsustainable works as an opener, not as a closer imo. Monty Jam + Feeling Good opening the first encore - Plug In Baby > Bliss - Too similar to be put right next to each other imo. Blackout > Prelude + Survival - Not an awful idea but it doesn't really work that well either imo. Just because Blackout and Prelude start/end on the same note doesn't mean it flows well. CE > TAB - Time-tested and obviously great idea. Should've ended the gig here. TAB > Starlight - MK Ultra closing the gig - Good live song but not really a closer imo.

Yet Isolated System is 5 minutes of build-up and Supremacy works just fine after it. I still think Exo 1 -> Supremacy would be a sick opener, no matter what people say about it being to slow.

As for B&H > Un, that was the intention. To have a break in the middle of the main set, giving room to breathe. But okay. And thank you for the honesty!

I'm not really a fan of Supremacy opening at all anymore just because it's a bit boring/uneventful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isolated System Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) What's He Building > Supremacy - WHB needs something heavy and energetic after it considering it's about 3 and a half minutes of build-up, Supremacy doesn't really fill that role. To me, Supremacy does the job as the opener, even thematically. "What's He Building In There?" sets the ominous wandering of what is happening to the world or what are major corprations doing, which is revealed in aggression during Supremacy. I don't think it goes well after IS though. In my gig, Supremacy rigged open the sky and kicked off right at twilight, turning into a dark night soon after, almost as if the concert was revealing something to the world. I think WHBIT would provide an even better experience. And about MK Ultra... I would have never thought Take a Bow could be a good closer, only an opener, after hearing BHAR. Then came HAARP, they reinvented TaB. MK Ultra already sets the mood for a closer, just needs something extra to finish off epically.

MK Ultra just feels like a by-the-numbers energetic Muse song though, which would be great somewhere in a main set or maybe a first encore. It lacks that sense of finality to close a gig though, which TAB has down to a tee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 An extended MK Ultra with a solo in a similar style as Bliss would be awesome imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, but its omission from the stadium/arena tour baffled me like never before. Along with CE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS doesn't flow into Starlight, which doesn't flow into Megalomania, which shouldn't end an encore (unless it's played at Royal Albert Hall's organ ) Blackout shouldn't be between Citizen Erased and Hoodoo at all. Those two work way better together. Sing for Absolution I assume isn't a piano version and shouldn't split the two full-piano songs either. There are one or two things that I find a bit off but I'll refrain from commenting on those because I'm not so sure about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
