iceman2321 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Pretty much what specific things (or ways) you prefer about the way Muse play their songs live as opposed to normally or on the album. Eg: - Playing the Glastonbury 2004 Riff before B&H - "Our trials and tribulations" instead of "Our hopes and expectations" - The alternative riff in the middle of CE instead of the album version - Matt playing the Guitar Solo at the end of the first chorus (ie on the album) instead of clapping along live on Panic Station - Matt playing along with the intro riff to Hysteria with Chris (ie last tour) instead of shredding - The guitar riff Matt played instead of the Kaoss Pad Solo during SMBH in the early 2009 gigs (Teignmouth, Berlin etc) - Dom playing the "dum dum" drum intro as opposed to launching directly into CE with the guitar riff You get the drift.

wriinkly feet Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I love the voice distortion during Stockholm Syndrome e.g Absolution era and the final 'I wish I could scream'. Nothing beats that for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Live CE riff and drum intro definitely. Also Matt doing the distorted screams/whispers in SMBH. Also Matt singing the notes properly, alternatively screaming them. (SS ending) EDIT: And the extra G(?) chord in Darkshines 2011 <333 Edited October 27, 2013 by Tjet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 And the extra G(?) chord in Darkshines 2011 <333 Definitely (and yeah, it is a G) - Hyper Music played a bit slower + with Chris on vocals for the chorus - Guitar outro for Space Dementia - Matt doing the "Supermassive black hole" distorted bits - Matt on guitar and Morgan on piano for Sunburn - Fuzz siren just before the solo in Blackout - Synths in the verses of Dead Star instead of guitar - "God was in me" during the old Plug In Babys - Sustain pickup intros for SMBH - That guitar solo/scale after the first verse of Muscle Museum on the Absolution tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Wow really? Yeah? Why, do you not like it? What exactly are you referring to? In the last chorus of Dark Shines at Reading/Leeds, Matt plays an extra chord between the 2nd and 3rd chords. 3:25 in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipso Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Also Matt doing the distorted screams/whispers in SMBH. Nah. The guitar solo before the piano solo in B&H. Unf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum IV Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 http://youtu.be/1upkp14drH0?t=2m29s You can't be serious - Matt on guitar and Morgan on piano for Sunburn I have mixed feelings about this. Would be better if they still had the digital piano on the stand so Matt could alternate between both (guitar for the chorus/solo, piano for the verses and outro). - Hyper Music played a bit slower + with Chris on vocals for the chorus Nah. See this is what I miss about early Muse, when Matt abused the shit out of rubato and sped up during the more intense parts of songs. In some cases this was really bad (Space Dementia), but for songs like Hyper Music it sounded awesome, and I think their overall live energy has gone downhill since bringing in click tracks and slowing down the tempo on certain songs (cough New Born cough). - That guitar solo/scale after the first verse of Muscle Museum on the Absolution tour Yeeeeees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Crying Shame is better in a lower key, while Fury is much better in the original one. And I think Hyper Music would better if it was a little faster and Matt just screamed the chorus instead, as opposed to belting it(or letting Chris sing it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzthief Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 That guitar intro is what makes the song goddamnit. Well, it is pretty nice, but the guitar during the rest of the song Crying Shame is better in a lower key, while Fury is much better in the original one.

Nipso Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Chris needs to sing the whole HM chorus, it feels lacking when he omits some words. I'm torn between Glastonbury and that 2006 one for best Sunburn. Although I do like the Kaoss pad noises that Morgan makes these days. Supremacy and KOC are so much better with the trumpet in there. The horns in Panic Station need to be much higher in the mix, they're barely audible live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Most rock songs by Muse sound better with some effects on the vocals. The clean versions of for example Hysteria and SS are quite boring, while the extreme distortion from the Abso tour days are a bit too much. 2005-2007 got it just right.

HolySheep Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 The vocals Chris does during The Small Print are pretty great. And Survival is imo better when Matt actually completes the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
