Finn. Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So I've come back from a break to try and follow this tour and can't be bothered reading back through all the pages, so somebody want to give me the gist of what the shit's going on this tour? I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Not if AP also gets replaced with Feeling Good. be a shame if it's explicitly one good Origin slot* So I've come back from a break to try and follow this tour and can't be bothered reading back through all the pages, so somebody want to give me the gist of what the shit's going on this tour? 360 stage, pretty awesome visuals, Globalist sounds pretty good, setlists are rather meh, Isolated System being played mid set which is stupid, Matt dropped guitar for half of Uprising and Dead Inside but still plays it for Madness, Drones the song being played back twice during the sets, JFK into Revolt is a huge tease, Drones are just giant balloons which actually look kinda cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regilistic Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Matt dropped guitar for half of Uprising and Dead Inside but still plays it for Madness What? As in just having it around his back and neglecting to play his parts a la guiding light or a full on guitar-less fest like Starlight? Matt is not miming in the Handler. Well, that's something.

Jobby Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Matt dropped guitar for half of Uprising and Dead Inside + all of Starlight What? As in just having it around his back and neglecting to play his parts a la guiding light or a full on guitar-less fest like Starlight? It's on a waist-high stand for Dead Inside. He walks just over to it, plays the solo and that's it. Yes, it looks ridiculous. For Uprising, some guy just hands it to him just before the solo. Matt spends the first half lens-fucking a camera and...lethargically walking. Edited November 21, 2015 by Jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I've actually seen people saying it's good that he doesn't play the guitar to Dead Inside anymore because it saves him energy and improves his vocals. *sigh* I shouldn't laugh really because it's people like that who enable this shit. It's a sad world. Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 What? As in just having it around his back and neglecting to play his parts a la guiding light or a full on guitar-less fest like Starlight?. Morgan, who is half-buried in a hole in the stage, plays the majority of the guitar in these songs. Matt just picks one up from a stand for the cool bits. He wanders around mic/selfiecam in hand for the rest of it like he does with Starlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, towards the end of the main set, they incorporate a madness-UD-Revolt poo break for those who need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regilistic Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Well that sounds terrible. Psycho tour and festivals were looking so promising too, both setlist-wise and Matt actually playing his piano/guitar parts. Aren't they on again tonight?

serpentsatellite Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Don't forget his awkward hand movements I actually find that part strangely endearing. And probably also why he's got such choreographed movements when he's doing it, tbh; avoiding potential awkwardness and having a consistent "performance." He's always seemed really rushed and flustered when trying to talk to the crowd, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic. Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Trying to think what songs I wouldn't mind Matt not playing any instrument for Probably Aftermath as that's soppy enough anyway, UD (can barely remember the keytarcaster days), Soldier's Poem. Not many really Never liked him stopping guitar in Follow Me really, although I guess it didn't make a massive difference. DI and Uprising is a pisstake though.

FatihA19 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 yeah tonight is the last gig in Palacio de los Deportes ! i think it must be in an hour ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yeah, I never understood that criticism, they connected through their energy on stage, that really was more than enough. I know Matt has said that he didn't understand why anyone would want to see him jump around on stage, but I really enjoyed that. It connects way more than when he eyefucks a camera and we all get to see it on a big screen. Enit. The band going mental full out with their instruments is way more entertaining and the crowd gets more involved, whereas when it's more 'chilled' and barrier walks and all then everyone's just focused on watching/grabbing his hand or something. Wouldn't say it's bad but it's just a lot different and I guess I find it more dull when the crowd's kinda statically jumping in spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time's the gig tonight (is there one tonight?) Songs with little to no guitar like UD and Follow me is absolutely fine for no guitar imo, even some of the acoustic songs like Unintended or Soldier's Poem I think they could get away with. The problem arises when Matt delegates obvious guitar parts to Morgan/Chris (Uprising, Starlight, Dead Inside, Blackout, Guiding Light.) Just so Matt can 'interact' with the crowd. Ends up looking bad imo. 8.40pm local time now, should be on in an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just taste. Do we just not bother with the live thread anymore? There are no more mods. And the population has decreased enough we can keep it on one thread now.

Ends up looking bad imo. 8.40pm local time now, should be on in an hour or so. Follow Me has a little bit of guitar in, although yeah it's barely there. He played guitar for the first few performances, think there's one proshot of him playing guitar for it and it's just weird in the chorus as he's playing something but it's either not there/so low in the mix you can't make it out This kinda makes me realize I rarely see bands with the crazy stage antics early (or even mid) Muse had. Maybe it's just taste. I go to other bands gigs where the crowd can be completely static and it doesn't phase me, just depends on the band enit. Muse just aren't the kind of act to me which should have dull crowds, like I'm only thinking back to Wembley 2010 and Reading 2011 when the crowds were heeeaving. To be fair O2 in 2012 was decent as well, slow start but MotP got everything off and kicking. Emirates was just a bit dull, although then I do wonder how much of that has to do with it being still light and outdoors. Dunno if there's some psychological thing when it's all dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time's the gig tonight (is there one tonight?) I actually can't believe he's stopped doing it for the first half of Uprising it's just so stupid. Dead Inside at least he's playing the solo I guess and I wouldn't mind as much if he would actually go for the notes in chest voice sigh. Aftermath as long as he played the intro I'd be cool with it. Madness I wouldn't mind if he just delegated it to Morgan. Undisclosed Desires I wish would just naff off entirely. There's not many songs though that I wouldn't be upset if he didn't play the guitar parts in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
