LewisF Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Amazing performance, only tiny parts I’d say are superior in other versions are that on the Psycho Tour I think he did the F#5 (although in those gigs the vocals weren’t as consistent throughout the song as a whole iirc), and the behind-the-nut scratch. Also, I love the arpeggio-type parts at the end of the riff he does live, should have made it onto the studio version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must just be a natural thing that people ‘hear’ that isn’t there. Plus the riff’s so weird you kinda feel the need to fill some of the spaces at times.

GSMU7 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Not so keen on the song now but when I first heard it I really liked. I remember being there and was loved the intro to Resistance first time I saw it live. Had an eerie sound to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginOfAbso Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 This intro has grown on me over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Seem to remember it being kinda divisive at the time but I’ve decided this is the definitive Bliss intro (+ bridge). V close with the US performances last year though tbf, can’t decide if I prefer the auto-wah or whammy bar fuckery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8eqdRGiXeY Torn between being gutted they didn’t keep it and glad it was a two-time only, special occasion type thing.

Clunge Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 The only truly great performances of Bliss are when Matt doesn’t piss around on his guitar in the first verse. There is something sacred about that silence. Also, the main riff lacks power in the Reading ‘11 version. I prefer the stop and scratch versions with a pause before the riff drops. So much beefier. Belfort ‘06 was a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Nah the best Bliss was when he played that chromatic riff during the bridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ6GU9jV65Y Even though the lubricated TR drums ruin it a little. It's still kind of absurd how much better Bliss is live than in studio. They should have re-recorded it when Matt still had those falsettos in him.

I do agree with that tbf, which would give the 2017 intro an advantage ‘cos it combined the two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84G-CSU087Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 If that’s what we’re talking, I’d go Glasto 2004 or Earls Court night 2 all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Guys the Bliss synth is iconic, it needs to be involved if we’re talking definitive Bliss intros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSmallPrint02 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Imo, the best performances of Bliss come from the early years. I prefer when Matt sings it like "Give meeeeeeeeeee" rather than "Giveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee meee" because it sounds more like the original. The Leeds University one stands out to me the most. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vceBK8lM7xU This also happens to be one of my two favourite Muse songs. Sure y'all can guess the other one from my stock non-thought out name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Synth is nice But Heavy muting before riff drops > synth Yeah but you literally have both in the clip I posted which >>>>> any guitar Bliss intro (and that slapdash piano one in...Milan? back in ‘03 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisF Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Yeah but you literally have both in the clip I posted which >>>>> any guitar Bliss intro (and that slapdash piano one in...Milan? back in ‘03 ) In your clip the muting isn’t executed as well as the 2004 gigs I mentioned Nah in all seriousness all the different variations of intro, bridge etc all sound great. For favourite all time performance though I’d have to stick with Earls Court night 2 though (has to best falsetto as well imo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 'Dat intro. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZnHHCwQeaM&frags=pl%2Cwn The beef. Tbh, Bliss - although it isn't my favourite Muse song - is the song that perhaps brings me back to why I love Muse the most. It's just such a brilliant pop-rock crossover, but it feels extremely genuine and heartfelt. It also has a mega riff, huge synths, a hella fun bassline and just so many touches I adore. Even the video. Still gives me chills like when it did back when I was 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Oh, and let's not forget this one too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPtWUB6rAAw&frags=pl%2Cwn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still gives me chills like when it did back when I was 12. sounds like it should be your favourite muse song (which I would agree with) tbh, with all the pseudo-sequels Matt likes writing lately, a Bliss 2 would be one of the few I’d appreciate. Or PIB, both hit the same pop-rock perfection itch you mention imo. For such big, quintessential and non-experimental songs in their discography, they’re weirdly unique to me...can’t think of anything that really comes close to them.

TheSmallPrint02 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTM0uZfysqk I can't believe I'd never heard this acoustic version of TIRO until now. This would seem to be the earliest version of the song due to Chris' bass riff being slightly different to the final cut. Although technically it isn't a live gig performance, you can hear the start of an applause at the very end so it's in front of someone at least. With the acoustic version of Something Human as well as a demand for a return of CoD, I think it would be awesome to have a modern live version of this song.

Clunge Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 There's something about that version that reminds me of Psycho Killer by the Talking Heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 In fact, the last two bars of guitar in the first chorus are pure Psycho Killer. I can't believe I've never made this connection, as is the guitar in the second pre-chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
