FabriPav Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yeah played with the energy it had in the BH&R tour it's a totally different song. Nowadays it's just crap, even moreso as a closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I've always thought Starlight had the potential to be a bit like Bliss live Lovely they'll see this now and start a Starlight / Bliss rotation on the next tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 That 2006 version sounds amazing compared to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Lovely they'll see this now and start a Starlight / Bliss rotation on the next tour. I'd actually be ok with it if it's the heavy Starlight with Matt playing guitar and tons of lasers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yep, during BH&R and TR tours was an ok song in the middle of the set, but the way and the place is played now is an abomination. Good news! NHK will broadcast in 8k, 'cos 8k is the future, i bet the next gig released by Muse will be filmed in 8k, a greatest hits set closed by the old fan favourite Follow Me. Imagine this as last encore, all songs guitarless, of course . Guiding Light Starlight Follow Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Tbf I'd much rather Follow Me as a closer than Starlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regilistic Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Man Starlight sounded so powerful back then. Why did they have to go and butcher it? I wonder if they'll ever bring back the guitar, or is it just long forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Starlight really is very drab live now, lacks the power it had back in 2006. It was honestly decent on TR tour, not amazing but it was decent, not as weak as it is now. It was quite interesting that some of Matt's tones - TiRO, Dead Star, Supremacy, Unnatural Selection, Hyper Music, even Uprising tbh were really good, yet some - Hysteria in particular were awful. Would not mind seeing Hysteria get given a break if it was replaced with something like Assassin or MK Ultra but the likelihood of that happening is like nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The guitar tone for Hysteria has been utter shite since then end of the Absolution tour. That songs NEEDS a whammy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I don't remember the whammy ever being not used for Hysteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 *whammy bar. He's played it on a guitar without pretty much since the start of the BH&R tour. EDIT: It came back for a while around HAARP time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 And now I've just gotten the revelation that "whammy" to me is more synonymous with the pedal than the tremolo arm. I blame K&T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to the solo in uprising between live at rome and the teignmouth version and the live and Rome is miles better. I think the kemper modeling amp has helped his tone a lot. But hysteria sounds rubbish now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 It sucks that they took crowd interaction to an extreme after last tour's complaints that even the reviews were mentioning. Last tour people were complaining that each show seemed like the same and it was "say two sentences to the audience along with Dom's "you were fucking great, see you next time, cheers" and get through the gig to repeat it the following day in a different city". Don't think anyone was asking for Undisclosed Desires barrier walks/hand touching and for the crowd to sing into the mic for Starlight. Starlight is still a shit closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hysteria sounds rubbish now I agree - I felt the guitar tones for Uprising, Knights of Cydonia, Butterflies and Hurricanes, Supremacy, Survival, Unnatural Selection, TiRO, were beefy as fuck and fantastic - side note i also love the fuzz tone Matt has for the Madness solo But Hysteria was so weak, even Chris' bass tone was weak and it just sounded a shadow of the performances i've seen on youtube of the Absolution tour, even a shadow of itself on TR tour, which wasn't overly powerful It sucks that they took crowd interaction to an extreme after last tour's complaints that even the reviews were mentioning.

Don't think anyone was asking for Undisclosed Desires barrier walks/hand touching and for the crowd to sing into the mic for Starlight. Starlight is still a shit closer as much as I prefer UD with the keytar I actually liked the barrier walk I found it amusing when Matt put on hats or glasses from the crowd and it gave the show a more fun aspect, also Follow Me was decent with Matt just singing, if only Morgan's guitar playing had been more audible but yeah Starlight in any position on the setlist this tour was shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 UD is strange as I liked the synth intro on the Resistance tour but thought the actual song was better and the barrier walk was amusing to watch. Starlight was a poor choice as a closer in theory and in practice it was sonically poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind UD live now it's good to see Matt interacting and very funny most of the time. Starlight still sucks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
