halo eighteen Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 True enough but you get my point. An even better opportunity to play a real rarity. Out of curiosity, what did Matt use for the final section of The Globalist at most shows. In Detroit, there was a keyboard on the stage? I did kind of think about that at the Detroit show- that there was a problem with the riser and/or piano, but then there was magically one there for the Globalist anyway. It does seem like a smaller keyboard was used in Detroit for that song than the other shows, just looking at youtube clips. Kinda hard to tell though, since most of the videos focus on the visuals.

Nigel_Tufnel Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Matt: "So I've got this idea -" Trent: "That's fucking stupid! *smashes guitars off of mixing desk* Matt, you're out! Atticus Ross! Get in here now and lay down a synth loop! Dom, get the drum machine. Run it through as much distortion as you can. Chris, do whatever the fuck you want." More like, "Chris, scream something into the mic and I'll crank up the distortion. I loved your work on Supermassive Black Hole and Here Come the Drones" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was definitely an electric keyboard propped up on a stand as opposed to an actual piano. At least, they set it near the big hole in the stage where the piano was supposed to be.

serpentsatellite Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 At least they managed to sort that out and didn't just lop 10 minutes off the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel_Tufnel Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 These stories sound like Muse watched Spinal Tap and thought 'this would be a good idea' Well, to be fair, even though most of the Drones wouldn't fly, they were still larger than tennis balls and a model airplane.

TheHappySpaceman Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 As I've said many times before, I've never heard Trent produce anything that doesn't end up sounding like NIN, which is not something I want for Muse. He's basically a guy who, when he's put in a studio, applies his method on it. Basically "guitars should sound like this", "drums should sound like this", with little attention to what's being made. At least based on the stuff I've heard from him. Are you or are you not counting his stuff with David Bowie? Matt: "So I've got this idea -" Trent: "That's fucking stupid! *smashes guitars off of mixing desk* Matt, you're out! Atticus Ross! Get in here now and lay down a synth loop! Dom, get the drum machine. Run it through as much distortion as you can. Chris, do whatever the fuck you want." Yeah, Trent does tend to have a bit of an ego. Suddenly, I'm reminded of this post a friend of mine made about when Robin Finck rejoined Nine Inch Nails. More like, "Chris, scream something into the mic and I'll crank up the distortion. I loved your work on Supermassive Black Hole and Here Come the Drones" Don't forget adding even more F-bombs. Soooo... is that approval? Also, holy crap! It took me over a month to realize that your username is a reference to a Queen song! Damn, I'm slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Matt: Check out my new power ballad! Trent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0LXZ1nnpzs In all honesty it's incredible how loud the crowd is singing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLionSlicer Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I kinda wish Trent had produced T2L. It would've at least been a consistent album instead of the mess that came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it now: "I'll be there as soon as I can to F**K YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL" ~Unintended, as produced by Trent Reznor Haha yay, someone gets it Honestly, I feel a little stupid for not getting it earlier, seeing how I'm such a big Queen fan. I kinda wish Trent had produced T2L. It would've at least been a consistent album instead of the mess that came out. Yeah, for all the people who say that it was a big dubstep album, there were only four or so dubstep songs. The rest were upbeat pop songs and love ballads... with the exception of Supremacy, Survival, and Liquid State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Personally I'd like to see them work with the producer of New Order's Music Complete (Tom Rowlands from The Chemical Brothers) One of the heavier tracks One of the poppy tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Isn't there someone out there who could get the quality of performance and vocal delivery that Mutt did, without being an absolute bastard about changing other things, or making them sound like some other band...?

Corkscrewed Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 People were really into SMBH, but they weren't really singing... because well, you really can't. I sing the fuck out of SMBH. Love that song. Karaoke to it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Now I remember when I last saw Phantogram. They were opening for The Flaming Lips. I thought they were rather boring then so I don't know what changed. They did go on after Foxygen though who I thought were terrible so maybe I was recovering.

Hat Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Just remembered this self-indulgent video by Tom. Playing the victim because the fans got upset when the band didn't release something they specifically said they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 ^ I forgot about that, what a shitty thing to do. Thinking about the upcoming European tour and I'm trying to keep my expectations grounded. Not expecting the sets to get any longer...I guess SS might make a return somewhere? I'd love to be proved completely wrong. It's a shame, you look at the sets they played early last year (as well as some of the summer gigs) to now and it's a colossal downgrade. Booked to see them on three dates and I admit to not being as excited as on previous tours. Feel crappy saying it but if I'd have known beforehand this wouldn't be a typical multiple date situation for me. Although, if I finally get Apocalypse Please that will lessen the sting. I'm not going to any of the first nights though so I'm not even convinced I'll hear that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
