Jazzthief Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Starlight is guff live nowadays anyway, let alone with Matt not playing guitar for it. Revolt sounds nowhere near as good live as it does on the record but I'd still take it over post-2007 Starlight any day. Starlight was still pretty good during The Resistance Tour imo. I actually don't mind the transition itself, but the tease is pretty shite considering how much better Survival is than Starlight live. Plus, Prelude is a completely pointless addition to the sets anyway. Nah, there's absolutely nothing that ties the two together sonically and it just sounds awkward. Would take Survival over Starlight any day of the week though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Starlight was still pretty good during The Resistance Tour imo. Nah, there's absolutely nothing that ties the two together sonically and it just sounds awkward. Would take Survival over Starlight any day of the week though. It was decent but I'd still take Revolt over it. Starlight was only ever genuinely great in 2006 imo, it's been in steady decline ever since. Well, they're in the same key (BbM), aren't they? I think the sudden bass of Starlight works in the same way as the sudden piano of Survival, it's just the rest of the song is so shite it makes the whole thing pointless unfortunately.

Dominic. Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Starlight was at it's best during TR tour no? Bass tone was beefy as hell compared to BH&R and the quiet middle section was great, was all just pretty fab Quite like the look of Revolt live, looks pretty fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Prelude into Starlight isn't as jarring as I thought it would be - same key and similar to the suddenness that the piano of Survival does, although yeah, Survival is a superior song. JFK into Revolt (a 1/2 step down version to boot) is very jarring. I think Matt should play Starlight on the piano, as it would liven the song up a little and give it something different. Or at least it certainly can't be any shitter than Matt wandering around awkwardly gurning to the cameras and leaving Morgan to juggle everything. It was alright on The Resistance tour, but I think as far as the obvious singalongs go, Time is Running Out is better on record and more fun live.

It was after the last stadium tour when it was turned into... something bad. Please Matt, use your guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 It's weird that he's gone back to guitarless since he did it with guitar on the festival tour. Whatever about Starlight though, Dead Inside without guitar is a much bigger crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bass improved but I'm not sure about everything else. The biggest shame is that the heavy sections lost their energy massively. I also preferred it when Matt would accompany the piano bits on guitar and sing the whole thing with a bit more power instead of softly crooning.

ryanp16 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 BHAR setlists were great too. Lots of rotation and rarities popping up, even if they were a little on the short side at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottycydonia Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Starlight was at its best at the beginning of this year and during the festivals imo I cant understand why he has reverted to not playing his guitar again because the tone previously was perfect.

OriginOfAbso Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 So from fans that met Muse this week, they've said no 2nd leg of the US tour in 2016, the current gigs are it. And Asia in July, Australia in August/September. Wtf? So they're just completely ignoring the entire southeast US. Great. Guess I'm not seeing them this tour.

Regilistic Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Stalight was at its prime in 2006. Those early performances with Matt playing the piano intro on guitar were amazing. Starlight's been shit ever since Matt's slowly been dropping guitar parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Dear fucking god. That. THAT in a nutshell is EXACTLY why Muse rarely, if ever, excite me at all any more. Yes, TV, yes, sound mix, yes, yes, yes, YADDA YADDA. Still wank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
