I could never give one answer for this since it'd probably change every other day. Favourite guitar moments though...

 

KoC riff

MotP effect/riff

CE riff

New Born riff

Dead STARHSRHDJFD riff

Who Knows Who and Maggie's Farm live outros. BEEF

Survival outro is pretty sick

Supremacy is pretty sick

Unsustainable is pretty sick

Hysteria bassline, lead, solo. Everything

Early version of Glorious, that was sick

SMBH

Assassin

 

 

You know, just a few

New Born is probably still my favourite Muse riff, but it's been neutered live these days by Matt not playing the piano and his crappier toanz.

Supremacy is b33fy but a bit too slow imo. This instead...
:srsb33f:

 

I don't think Supremacy is too slow to be beefy, but I do agree that that performance is fucking facemelting beyond comprehension.

But the T2L toan is great :phu: it's the speed the only problem of it (and the absence of piano-guitar transition)

 

I have the top comment on that video OLOLOLOL

 

:cool: James Fitzgerald is a quite fancy name :fancy:

Most of his T2L toanz are great, but New Born is too fizzy/lacking in beef. It sounds like the 2006 NB tone all over again.

:erm:.

 

I thought it was cack at the O2. Not a patch on Reading 2011. Each to their own. Headup sounded absolutely massive after New Born though.

2011 was some of their beefiest tone ever and they only played New Born twice. Not much to judge from that but I assume it would have sounded great. 2009-2010 sounded good but not nearly as powerful as what I heard in 2013.

One thing we can agree on though is that the guitar work in Survival kicks major arse.

 

Yes! Definitely, one of the best songs on the album, it's a pity the world didn't embrace it as much as they should have with the Olympics and stuff. But what can you expect! Typical bandwagon jumping journalism didn't help:mad: best concert closer I think ?

New Born's riff is the first thing that comes to mind when I try to think of a classic Muse riff. It's definitely not my personal favourite though. My favourite at the moment is probably Dead Star, mainly because of how epic it was at the Etihad.

Not keen. Too fizzy

Yup, that's the problem for me. Just too fizzy.

 

New Born at Reading 2011 was absolutely perfect tone (and performance) wise. In fact, I think that version might even top all the 2004 performances, inc. Glasto '04 and KROQ '04.

I think new born and ce suffered a little at reading, as though they were trying to keep it as close as possible to the album version. Like the Solo was standard for the most part and no outro riff
