halo eighteen Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I wonder why they didn't even bother to use the JFK intro for Uprising mid-set. Weird. I can't even keep up with Muse logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Because people never watched "Once upon a time in the West" This. I just saw it in 35MM the other day and it was fucking amazing. I forgot how good that film is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen. Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I haven't been on many gigs yet, just 3. I guess it's not time yet for me to join the club. I've just been to 2 gigs and hate it Being there I can stand everything, because it's so different from watching a stream, buuuuuuuuuuut, I've seen enought streams to grow tired of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Mercy looks like it's fucking immense live. Meh, immense isn't really the word I'd use. It's enjoyable and a nice spectacle with the confetti and everything but it's not particularly heavy or intense. Maybe they did plan on JFK + Defector but ditched the idea cos they weren't feeling it or something I see no other reason to make the encore so basic and shove Uprising in the beginning of the set Encore's been basic for a while now, whether Uprising's in it or not. Defector won't have been on the setlist, they'll most likely just wait until the arena tour to debut it. Also, yeah, MWAH is the bane of every Muse set and needs to fuck off along with the new shitty jam so they can play a couple more of their own actual songs. Of course, they won't do that 'cause ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK + Uprising doesn't even make sense as an encore opener, much less mid-set when the speech would be far more anticlimatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzthief Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I really liked that dual vocal thing that's really noticeable in the "come ride with me through the veins of history" part damn that was cool Sounded like a horrible mix for a moment imo lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johi36 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Damn Matt looks really tired. All that travelling, all those gigs in the middle of the summer - it must be exhausting. I don't feel *too* bad for them though, being rich and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the drum and bass jam is highly necessary since all eyes and cameras are on Matt 95% of the time. The jam gives Chris and Dom time to shine and it is only fair.

New-ish, he first used it at Big Weekend a few weeks ago if I remember right. Slightly late, but CE sounded amazing tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt they're fussed about who the audience is paying attention to after 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jam gives Chris and Dom time to shine and it is only fair. It also gives Matt time to rest his voice. Specially when they're doing as little riff outros as ever this tour (compare to TR-era, in which they did a lot of outros besides Helsinki + never-ending UD intro ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn. Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 And this new jam is badass, i hope it'll become a full-fledged song in the next album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I can handle the jam, and Matt does need a break. But they should compensate by tightening up other things so they can play more songs without lengthening the set time (which they seem loathe to do; ) step in the right direction with less intros/outros, but MWAH needs to go.

Jobby Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 New jam is proper poo and is easily the most boring one they'd had so far. If it was actually an entertaining piece of music I'd be alright with it, but this is pretty much Osaka Jam 3.0. Chris' playing really lacks variation in the jams imo, with the exception of Monty, and it's making them feel monotonous at this point. I can handle the jam, and Matt does need a break. He probs wouldn't if he was a bit fitter. Maybe. But if it's 20 years of Matt being the one in the spotlight, maybe they're finally sick of it. Who knows. Massively unlikely. Chris doesn't even really seem to like much spotlight at all, hence why he usually turns away from the audience during the jams and stopped playing his own songs.

BigGeorge Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I loved when they used to play Nishe pre-USOE during the Resistance tour, my favorite "jam" ever. This jam isn't half bad, I probably only enjoy it because I play bass and it's fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 He probs wouldn't if he was a bit fitter. I don't disagree at all, and it couldn't hurt his vocals, either... but he seems pretty against it. I remember him talking about doing spin class and such until he passed out or vomited before previous tours, so why getting lazy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
