Dominic. Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Isolated System. Rather have Unsustainable later on when the crowds all energetic like and actually move. At the O2 everyone was pretty much stood still during it. Rather get pumped up by IS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the O2 everyone was pretty much stood still during it. Rather get pumped up by IS I noticed the exact opposite at my gigs. In Dublin everyone went insane during Unsustainable and no one moved at all when it was played at the stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Oh wait the 7 string is in some weird tuning, nevermind. The E shape he uses for Citizen Erased is in a bit of an odd tuning yeah, no reason he couldn't play SD outro on it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I kinda missed it/had to watch from the back when it was played at my stadium gig as I broke my finger in SS a few songs before, but O2 it was naff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlugInYorkie Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I always thought unsustainable... But I saw Perth in the arena and isolated system was perfect as an opener! It's better to get it over with at the start I rekon... But We are the Universe will forever be the best intro for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlugInYorkie Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Then into Liquid State so Matt can keep on the 7-string I like where this is going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zomuse Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Isolated drags on for too long wherever it is in the set. Unsustainable for both opener and encore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regilistic Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 WATU was one of their best intros. I never got to see Unsustainable as opener, however IS with the pyramid rising during Supremacy was pretty cool. If it was a minute and a half shorter it would've been perfect.

serpentsatellite Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 It was just too damn long; people got bored. In an age where people spend the entire gig talking and/or on their cell phones the entire time anyways, you can't really afford to give them that downtime at the beginning. I'm still not a fan of the pyramid being revealed at the start, either. It was incredibly more epic descending a few songs in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I'm still not a fan of the pyramid being revealed at the start, either. It was incredibly more epic descending a few songs in. Really? It was quite underwhelming when it descended before Panic Station imo, with just those few red lights. Tons better at the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter. Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Really? It was quite underwhelming when it descended before Panic Station imo, with just those few red lights. Tons better at the start. well, making it descend before Panic Station was just the usual stupid muse logic. the best choice was to have it descend during the unsustainable intro imo. with lights and streamers n shit.

Dominic. Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Isolated System is blates the best opener. Gets you pumped enit Only fault is that it mean Matt doesn't do the kaoss in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regilistic Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 People were actually pretty pumped for IS during my gig, nobody seemed to be really talking. Oh, and Uns would be cooler if Matt did the vocals in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it didn't have to come down during any particular song; even having it come down during the opener would have been fine. I like the subtle reveal of it, though; during a random song, and people didn't even notice it right away; then all the pointing and the "holy shits." It was pretty fun. About 1/3 of the way into the IS opener, people stopped cheering and started texting. Might have just been my gig, but even I was a bit "just get the fuck going already..."

SloppyJoe403 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I felt that Unsustainable was a really awesome way to kick off the concert. Obviously IS would too, but I think Unsustainable just works better as an opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I'd like them both but they started revealing the pyramid earlier than the big reveal during SMBH or whatever it was. Kind of ruined it. I remember people saying "that's it? Last time they had these towers" and they freaked out when they revealed the upside down pyramid thing.

stellahensej Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think Isolated System would be a better opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shar Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 IS starts out great, but it drags on a bit. Unsustainable has more of a pick-up, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolic Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think IS didn't really work later in the set when people started to get tired and a bit restless. People get more easily and quickly bored then, hence I think if IS should be in a set it should be as an opener when people are excited for the show starting and would be more interested. And Unsustainable worked great as an encore opener so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Unsustainable. I personally love what they've done w the whole Dubstep thing and it's great to see live and dance to. Both are wonderful songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Unsustainable is definitely the most underwhelming opener I've seen Muse use. Didn't see IS open but I feel having seen Unsustainable open, I would infinitely prefer IS. That video of IS into Supremacy with Matt's guitar projected on the rising pyramid is amazing .

Daekdroom Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Really? It was quite underwhelming when it descended before Panic Station imo, with just those few red lights. Tons better at the start. I think the video from the Japan concert in which it descends right before Bliss was quite good. Somebody here in the board mentioned they once had it descend during the Resistance intro. That seems like a good moment as well. But, meh, improperly doing the pyramid is just another setlist flaw. We're used to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
