Jobby Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I guess but it doesn't really seem like it considering they are not taking a break before starting the Drones tour Well, to be fair, since their break after the summer festivals, all they've done is one short stint in Asia and another in South America iirc. It's no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 They actually had a considerable amount of time off, and then have taken several long breaks in between gigs this tour so far. The only way travelling would be impacting them is if Matt is flying home in between the gigs when they don't have back to back shows (which he seemed to do a bit during the festivals) but other than Berlin, the shows seem about on par with each other performance-wise, typically.

Jobby Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) On the topic of Matt's voice - I'm glad I saw Dead Inside just before it started to fall to shit (Download's a pretty good performance if anyone hasn't watched it btw). The first half is a bit awkward (though a fairly fun singalong tbf) but it's actually pretty decent and surprisingly punchy when it kicks in. It's definitely a better alternative to UD and Madness, instrumentally at least. I'm kinda anxious about seeing it next year given it's decline, hopefully it improves a bit or they drop it down a semitone or two. Otherwise it's just gonna be painful for Matt and the audience, especially with some of them 4/5/6 nighters.

When Dead Inside was released it made my hopes go up that Matt's voice had somehow improved even more and was the best it's ever been overall. Really disappointing now that it's in fact the opposite. I'd never really cringed watching Matt sing before until watching Dead Inside live. It makes me uncomfortable watching/listening to someone sing when it's apparent that they are really struggling.

googoogee Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Not sure if anyone has brought this up..But Matt's falsetto on this performance of Supremacy is pretty killer. @ 2:10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clhw3zmd_4w&t=2m10s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginOfAbso Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I've noticed that Dom really doesn't seem to be enjoying himself near as much as past tours. Past tours he is constantly smiling and going hard on the drums. He always looked amused at everything Matt would do on stage. Now he seems a lot duller. Also seems to have aged a lot more than Matt and Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I was sort of shocked when Dom started talking about the next album, because he's looked quite bored or pissed off for the last few years, whether it's interviews or gigs. Maybe he's just trying to act cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Gotta say i prefer the way he sings it live at 2:45-3:00 now (with both lines doing decending falsetto) to the recorded version. He should've done that to start with but with a harmony with chris, would've been ace Nah sounded so much better with even the G4s and of course even better than that with a Bb4 belted on the album. The falsetto kills the momentum completely and the second line literally sounds crap in falsetto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Talking about Matt's voice - is he still smoking? I don't think anyone's ever really known. If he has been, he's done a pretty damn good job of not letting photographers get a shot of it considering he's pretty well stalked now. Unless he just started back up, though, why wouldn't it have impacted him during the entire last album cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johi36 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 So according to this board, Dom is pissed off, Matt's voice will be gone soon, and I know Chris almost never talks anyway - I guess they'll announce the end of Muse soon? I have to stay away from this place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Matt's vocal issues are also rather factual. He's avoiding many notes that he hit last tour, struggling with ones he's going for, either being flat or really hoarse, and going to falsetto or lower notes in inconsistent places ( see the recent DI performances.) And coming in late. He was leagues better in the last tour. If your opinion is that it doesn't matter to you, that's a completely valid one. But, getting upset about people being disappointed is a bit nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johi36 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Upset? No. Seriously. I'm old enough to make up my own mind. I meant I should stay away cause this discussion really isn't getting anywhere and it's a waste of time in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he falls flat in concert I will probably be enjoying myself too much to give a damn or to notice.. If we weren't fans, we wouldn't buy tickets or care about their performances. There's nothing wrong with wanting the band to put in the effort to give people their money's worth. Also, Matt's vocal struggles may prevent him from singing certain songs altogether (as he's apparently recently said about Showbiz), it stretches further than 'falling a bit flat'.

frozenbanana Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Matt should put his voice through a Digitech whammy pedal. Then he'd be able to hit all the high notes all of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
