TheRD101Person Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I mean, when they played it at Reading Festival in 2000, it was... bad, to say the least. Matt couldn't hit the notes, the effects were off, and it just didn't go too well. But, that was over a decade ago... do you think their skills have increased enough for them to play it again?

Hat Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 They can definitely play it, but Matt can't sing it. Well he CAN, but it won't sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howardm93 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 As much as I would love to hear this song live, sadly I don't think it would happen. Even though Matts vocals right now are probably the best they have ever been I doubt he could pull it off. Can it be played? Yes Can it be played well? I doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Does it work? Kueller, make it happen. Just put it two semitones down and one semitone down, both sound good imo. I like it one semitone down more edit: wow, saving it after changing the pitch takes 5 minutes per version Edited July 30, 2013 by fabripav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Tbh I have never gotten Futurism. Really indifferent to it. But yeah I don't think the bass sounds as good neither half a step or a whole step down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anxyous Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Futurism in my mind is inextricably connected with Can't Take my Eyes Off You, so I'll never like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I just don't think they'll ever revisit it. Even Ashamed and Yes Please had a good few years of live plays. Futurism had one poor performance and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm not that fussed about Futurism, I'd rather hear Con-Science live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRD101Person Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm not that fussed about Futurism, I'd rather hear Con-Science live. Con Science live would be amazing as just a silent, haunting moment in the middle of the concert. It would be a great transition to some other big track.

TheRD101Person Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Also, making it a half step down would do nothing to make it less difficult. The tough part of Futurism is that Matt has to hold notes for a long time, and quickly transition to falsetto at some parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tough part of Futurism is that Matt has to hold notes for a long time, and quickly transition to falsetto at some parts. And it's not easier to hold mid range notes than high range ones? The tough part is that the chorus is really high with indeed a lot of sustained notes, and the melody tops at Bb4 which is right at the top of Matt's chest range. Lowering it to A4 makes all the difference in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Also don't get why people get the idea that the chest->falsetto switching in Muse songs is hard. It's incredibly easy. Maybe not for YOU, but for anyone who knows how to use their falsetto. In fact, Matt is quite bad at switching on the studio songs. If you want hard switching, check out someone like Daniel Heiman.

JimmyP117 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'm not an expert on these things but I wouldn't have thought Shrinking Universe would be a problem. He hits and hold the same sort of note in Supremacy and it doesn't seem all THAT hard for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
