ryanp16 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 the presence of Muse themselves should be enough It really, really pisses me off when people say shit like this. By your logic, we should be happy to shell out very large amounts of money just to have muse stand on the fucking stage. I mean hey, cmon guys, who cares if muse dont play a single fucking song, as long as we're in their presence! amirtie!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djparky Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Don't often post, but I've been a fan for a while but have only seen them live twice- at the Arsenal football stadium on the last tour So for me the setlist works, but I appreciate that those who've seen them dozens of times probably won't be as keen as I will be to hear SMBH or KoC in a few weeks time- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over half of the setlist, you'll have heard twice already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) For me, I'm not bothered if I've seen every song in the set before as long as they're at least mostly good and I feel like I've seen an exciting show that was worth paying for. Last night's set would've been the exact opposite of that. If you like whatever they do, that's fine, but they know they're letting down and alienating a lot of other people with massively one-sided sets like that. For a band that was going on about wanting to go back to being a real hard rock band just a few months ago, the alienation should be going completely the other way if anything.

White Heat Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Changing the subject a bit, i don't know how this works in other places but in Madrid the second show wasn't even announced, they just added it right away after they sold out the first show in 2 minutes, so actually most hardcore fans will be at night 1 and consequently be screwed.

Well i'm pretty much a massive fan boy so yeah, to me being 'in their presence' means a lot to me personally, but you have taken it a little bit too literally. Of course I'd want music, i'm not spending £70 just to have Muse stand in front of me, I'm saying it all just adds to the experience. So no, I'm not or would be happy to spend a large amount of money just see to Muse or any other band for that matter, just stand on the stage.

apoco123 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 You say that but look at the list of your gigs. It's not like you've had anything to complain about. You've been to the pretty much all of the best shows they've played since 2010 (when people generally started taking issues with the sets), not to mention you've gotten significantly longer sets which allow them to play the hits and some of the more obscure material. The shows you've attended literally address every single complaint that we have on here. In the past five or six shows you've gone to, you've gotten Bliss/Dead Star several times/Hyper Music/The Groove/Fury/Futurism/Assassin/Agitated/Unnatural Selection/New Born/Stockholm consistently/Citizen Erased/Map of the Problematique /B&H/Blackout/Unintended/Animals/Sunburn/Micro Cuts, and that's just off the top of my head. Almost most of those gigs were also heavily criticized by a majority of fans (on here) as being poor or too short... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezul Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Anyone who goes to a festival for one band is asking for trouble. If you go to see Muse at a festival and expect a 'great set', you're setting yourself up for a fall. I have no sympathy for those people. u high? went to download. got great set. and i'm sure those who went to leeds/reading were happy enough! As for this year's glasto... we'll see. I don't see it being as great as those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it being as great as those Those were obviously one-offs though, and were hyped up by the band as being special beforehand so everyone knew what to expect going in. Generally, you'd be setting yourself up for disappointment to expect much more than a standard greatest hits set at festivals imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Download was an exceptional case. The point is that festivals are usually the place where you want something "crowd-pleasing" and even if it's usually a nice quick and powerful set (see ACL last year) it's typically not a deep cut fan show. Also festivals are for many bands, and a lot of them might be great live too. It's a waste to go for exclusively one band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download, a lot of people were just assuming would be good (might be wrong but never heard read anything that suggested the show would be anything special). Regardless, I'm clearly referring to general Festival setlists (you know, like the ones people mentioned on the same page I made said quoted post) so please don't attempt to patronise me because it just makes you look slow.

I forget they play a lot of european festivals. But here in UK, essentially away from last Glastonbury, their sets have been pretty good overall?

But I'm not saying they're bad sets, just that they're not the special treat sets. The Absolution Tour festivals were mostly safe and standard even in the UK but they're still highly acclaimed, for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Download, a lot of people were just assuming would be good (might be wrong but never heard read anything that suggested the show would be anything special). I personally bought my ticket after the club shows, and Matt mentioned in interviews that they would play a heavy set (sort of a given) my favourite side of muse, so it was worth the drive down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
