Hopix Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The only rationale I have for this "hypocritical themes" business is that the artist is attempting to exploit the corporation it defames by using it as marketing for the anti-corporate propaganda theme.

Nipso Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 If Muse do end up playing the Apple event, I'd love it Matt did it like Chris Martin did a few years ago with just him and a piano playing rearrangements of songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzy_p Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Its one of my favourite things Exactly, thankyou! They make good products, that work, and look nice. But like everything its all down to personal taste #offtopic Anyway, there wouldn't any kind of official announcement from either Apple or Muse until after the event, it's how they 'roll' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibros Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 1) The rehearsals pointing towards a live performance they're preparing for a fuck ton of gigs soon. they'd be rehearsing anyway. 2) Matt meeting Jimmy I from Apple doesn't prove anything. 3) The drone photo being posted 06 days and 15 hours (ish) from the start of the event (ok this is possibly a long shot) this. is. just. too. much. 4) Look at the past performances at the end of Apple events, foo fighters, coldplay, U2... Muse would fit in well there. doesn't prove anything either. 5) Apple have always showed interest in Muse, they have used The Resistance album cover in numerous old iphone/ipod adverts etc. doesn't prove anything either. my counter argument would be: 1) releasing an album about brainwashing and corporation and single that's too offensive for radio at the launch even of a product which is going to take consumerism to a next level is just wrong.

I have used both Apple and non apple products in the past and have settled with all Apple now. Personal preference! #offtopic I think Matt has been giving us clues, right? Very subtle.

serpentsatellite Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Maybe I'm too cynical, but I can't not think big, famous acts dealing with those sorts of themes boils down to just pandering to the masses. This is what the kids buying albums wants to hear, so we're going to cash in on it (and be as vague as possible.) I know bands do it, and mean it, but more often it's hard for me to buy into a band singing about shit like that while cashing in on it at the same time. At the very least, a multi-million dollar band bitching about the "powers that be" are upset about very different things than the multitudes buying their albums. And I've never owned an Apple product that worked correctly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 My hypothesis is they'll play a different new song (or even an old song) then drop the single afterwards because everyone would be buzzing about Muse's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal preference! #offtopic I think Matt has been giving us clues, right? Very subtle. Maybe too subtle, idk Exactly! one of my friends swapped from apple to ... android.. (an S4) and one week later was like "right, its crashed about 20 times this week, get me my iphone back." I had to set one up for one of the guys at work, I unboxed it, and within 45 minutes it crashed and reset all data. #reallyofftopicnow But yes, I think it could happen, I suppose we can only wait and see!

kueller Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I like how we've had, in a single page, claims that Apple is great because it just works, and that Apple sucks becuase it never works. It's like anecdotal evidence isn't worth much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesseract Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Was going to ask what could possibly be so entertaining about this thread that so many guests are here so consistently.

jonisdead Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 This is the most sensible idea yet. Thank you kindly. I mean in all reality they might just be rehearsing because they're rusty, and I doubt they'd play something controversial there. So I think they'll play a track or two, then Tim Cook will say something about their new single dropping "now exclusively on iTunes"! Then Muse drops the single + video.
