Clunge Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 New Born is better without outro riff, for me. Tbh, the only Muse song I care about outro riffage is SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee3Dee Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 New Born at Reading 2011 is the only genuinely good New Born I've ever seen. Leeds was alright, but Reading was definitely better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Jesus Christ Clunge, are you feeling okay? Fabulous ta, bbz. Tbh, Reading 2011 is probably my favourite Muse gig I've been to. It was everything I want from them live. Blistering performance, amazing set and sound, simple stage (screens and lights) and incredible atmosphere.

Jobby Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 General favourite guitar parts: All of Animals All of Assasin/Debase Middle section of Unsustainable Unnatural Selection breakdown/slow bit Knights build-up then riff Blackout solo Hyper Chondriac Music solo Recess solo If we're just going by specific riffs though then - The Groove, Bliss, Sign O' The Times (if that counts?), Knights and Micro Cuts.

futurellama Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 ah yeah I forgot about the Micro Cuts outro, that's the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Micro Cuts outro at Reading was a bit underwhelming as well. Didn't sound as huge as I'd imagined. Maybe it was just Matt palm muting it throughout though. It is a sick riff/outro/whole song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I like Showbiz and it is one of my favourite songs but wouldn't say it's my favourite guitar solo Someone mentioned the HCM solo. That is incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musedan Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Imagine how differently Survival would have been received when it was first released if it was only an instrumental. Considering most negative reviews stemmed from the choir and the lyrics, remove those and we may be left with the best thing I've ever heard from muse. For me, the lyrics render the song laughable in a way. I love the song, but imagine what it could have been. Back on track, yeah Survival best riff.

static shadows Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 It still sounds half as beefy as it was in person 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. Forget about the tone, wtf is going on with the way it's played atm? It simply has no energy whatsoever. It's far too slow, has no kick to it, and sounds almost jaunty. When they started to play it slower around BH&R (which I was personally against) then at least they used to make it heavy. It just sounds weak as hell there.

Hopix Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 It is slow, but in person it's still huge. The last time I saw it in 2011, it was slow and fuzzy, but it was still among the best songs of the night. It sounds roughly the same now although I can't accurately compare because I haven't seen it recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often choose to listen to the instrumental rather than the album version. Feels so much beefier Same with Unsustainable. Sounds massive without the UNSUS bollocks It is slow, but in person it's still huge. I never noticed New Born being slow during TR tour really. It really really felt slow at O2 last year though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Ferris Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Either of the ending riffs of Stockholm and Survival. Damn right. The riff in the bridge of Survival is also ace, took me a while to appreciate it. Futurism has a good riff as well, though I imagine a fair few people haven't heard it (if you haven't, youtube it). Yes Please deserves an honourable mention too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
