kueller Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 [YT] [/YT]Â Also not the best and not even a really good solo but I wish he'd kept going with it and improving it. So much more interesting than just rubbing off the XY pad. Early BH&R performances also had more traditional attempts at soloing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much more interesting than just rubbing off the XY pad. Early BH&R performances also had more traditional attempts at soloing. Agreed. When his pad broke in this performance from 2008 he was forced to pull out an improv solo that happens to be better (imho) than every single other SMBH solo ever (see 2:25 onwards). No pad next tour plz Matt!!! [YT] [/YT] Also just checked and I have around 15 different versions of SS live in my iTunes library. Love them all.

Jobby Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKl88X78Gs8 Matt backstage afterwards: "would someone care to explain why the fUCK those peasants weren't moshing" On a serious note though, I do love it when he does weird scale thingies (0:29). He should whip them out more often, never seen him do it irl. Edit: aaand speaking of said scale thingies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpMx_WTD7fo 4:08 unffffff fuck I love map and I wish I could do the scale thingies Edited August 8, 2016 by Jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell those involved mucking around with weird descending triplets and stuff like that, so... E --13-------------------------------------------------- B -----12---13----------------------------------------15 etc. etc. G---------11---12---13--------------------15-------- D------------------11---12----13-----15------14---- A----------------------------11---12------14------13- E-------------------------------------11-------13----- all played very fast and jumping around the fretboard. Probably lots of random notes thrown in as well though, I might be very wrong.

Zepp Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 There is one note that is a bit jarring right after the songs ends when he keeps playing, but yeah I really like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 9/10 Map that. In fact, RaR 2010 was one of their best performances of the TR tour. MK Ultra and Unnatural Selection sounded massive that night too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepp Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 And wasn't it the return of the falsetto in Bliss, too? I seem to remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 And wasn't it the return of the falsetto in Bliss, too? I seem to remember that.That would be this performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rm5iKdnIps&t=3m25s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 What was it about Resistance era Bliss that everyone loved so much that was never the same afterwards? It can't just be the falsetto, even if that was a big part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't just be the falsetto, even if that was a big part of it. Does everyone love Resistance-era Bliss? Only time I saw it then was at Leeds, loved the synthy album intro but, other than that, I've preferred every other performance I've seen. Best was probs Manchester Academy.

JimmyP117 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Leeds was great with the synth intro, didn't expect that. Wembley '11 remains my highlight; first time I saw the song live and the falsetto was really strong that night. Manchester Academy and Glasgow were awesome too.

forevermusic Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yeah agreed Wembley 2010 was a great rendition. Reading 2011 is my favourite live version I've seen, although despite no falsetto I really liked Brighton's Bliss, though the balloons and Maggie's Farm outro might've helped.

Jobby Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Sooo now the tour's over https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu_sM2L9RZ0 Not biased at all obvs but best performance of the tour by a mile imo. Only time Matt got the vocals on point iirc. Now, let's all agree to make COD the CE+Bliss/Dead Star/Assassin of next tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Now, let's all agree to make COD the CE+Bliss/Dead Star/Assassin of next tour.Worth discussing actually. Although I think we might only get more divided the more we discuss it, so I'll settle for CoD (which ofc is amazing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Does he still have an acoustic guitar in his touring rig for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 With the falsetto A4s I'm sure he will. And don't think it's in the touring rig but he could easily just get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DifferentPerson Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I can already imagine the reaction when an acoustic guitar appears in Matt's rig but turns out to be for an acoustic version of Resistance or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sound mentally prepared already. Although an acoustic version can't be any less of a trudge than the album version is live, can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm sure Matt could find a way to make it worse. Maybe he'll have Chris play it on acoustic guitar while he walks around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
