forevermusic Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Yeah it was. More impressive it comes back on mid-yelp. As for Bliss, it is a location thing. Maybe the fact it was a regular on the Psycho US tour might help its chances for the next US Tour... then again, we thought that after it was a regular on the first few T2L arena shows there and it duly failed to appear that often again.

serpentsatellite Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I remember watching Bliss get played at those CA gigs, and artificially getting my hopes up really high. I'm sure once they rotated it with Resistance, they noticed that one got a much better reaction from the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Micro Cuts, Citizen Erased and Apocalypse Please in a row, and no Madness? Blimey... Finland got a decent set and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogles. Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Maybe they're reintroducing rarities into the setlists to make it up to the Swedes for missing out on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma-kun Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 A pretty decent Bliss-falsetto from Greenfest: Abit out of breath at the end of the last chorus though, with some improv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERZi Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Micro Cuts, Citizen Erased and Apocalypse Please in a row, and no Madness? Blimey... Finland got a decent set and a half. Yeah!! That was pretty nice for a festival set. It was amazing... I think Sweden will get something more special, although they'll have 30min shorter set than in Finland.. dunno Or they just play CE like here on fin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyracer Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I will break down at Werchter if they play Micro Cuts and/or Citizen Erased. I'm probably getting Resistance and Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I know it works with the piano section having AP after, but I'd love them to start playing Citizen into Micro Cuts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've pretty much accepted that Werchter will get the current shit rotations + Eurasia. All I want from this gig is AP. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 When Resistance first came out, I remember reading Matt saying it had some musical and thematic connections to Citizen Erased and Map of the Problematique. Yet in a live context, I think we're all fairly aware which the stronger tracks are. Although Resistance isn't the worst song live - its not the best, but its no Guiding Light.

I´d say that it does have one of the best intros. The bass, drums, synth, piano, clapping aaaaaand then he starts to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quite decent at Emirates 1, but I can live without Matt going "wooooaaaahhhh" over the intro like he did on T2L tour. I maintain it would be better if it just went straight from the verse to the chorus, or at least made the "it could be wrong, could be wrong" bit actually sound like the rest of the song.

Jobby Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Although Resistance isn't the worst song live - its not the best, but its no Guiding Light. I'd say it's easily one of the worst, I'd rank it among the other shitters: Blackout (2013 version) USOE Resistance UD Madness (2015 version) Save Me Guiding Light Explorers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 One of these is not like the others. Might've been a bit harsh to put USOE down there. It's not actually particularly bad live, I just really don't like the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save Me and USOE were also decent live. 2011 UD was the worst of that song - was quite fun on T2L tour wth the barrier shit. I do like Explorers, but yeah, it did sap momentum. Monty Jam was also a momentum killer. That's been the problem with Resistance from the moment we all first heard it. I didn't think it was a problem at first, but older I get, I find it one.

I loved it live, plus I got Sunburn right after it(might have helped). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen. Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The worst is Guiding Light. I've never seen so many people yawning at a gig than I saw when they played it in Barcelona. It was impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Monty Jam is by far their best jam imo. It's atmospheric, fairly unique sounding (for Muse) and feels like an actual interlude between songs, as opposed to the others which feel like pointless, generic wankery that the band are enjoying a lot more than the audience. Also, it's short and doesn't feel like it's taking up set space. The new one really drags and all the way through I'm thinking "They could easily get rid of this and MWAH and play another actual song or two".

greatkingrat Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 100% agree with this. It think is longer now to give more time to Matt to recover, drink water, energy drinks, massage, oxygen, drugs, whatever ... Well, it could be worse, Freddie needed the "eternal" Brian May solo when Queen was touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 It's better than what Led Zeppelin used to do - play Moby Dick with a 20-minute drum solo where the whole band bar John Bonham sodded off. Or the Chili Peppers, who just did a 10-minute wanky jam. Eurgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
