Alexander DeLarge Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Well that's bullshit, they couldn't pull out Stockholm/Map night 2 for LA? Honestly I'd prefer something along the lines of Reapers/Psycho Dead Inside Map/Hysteria Plug In Baby/Bliss (The Gallery) The Handler Citizen Erased/B&H AP/USoE/Endlessly/Sunburn (Jam) SMBH UD/Madness Starlight Uprising Time is Running Out Defector/Revolt Stockholm/New Born ------------- The Globalist (Drones) ------------- Mercy Knights/Survival I don't really like the whole "if you get Stockholm, you're stuck with Revolt" or the "if you got Reapers first night, you get Revolt second night" either. If they can go without doing Reapers, they can go without Psycho while swapping it with Reapers.

Jobby Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Slept through the gig but expected things to improve so not really surprised, didn't expect Map and Bliss in the same set though. It's still frustrating seeing them forced to drop/rotate songs that should be staples (Reapers, Stockholm, PIB, Revolt/Defector) just because they weirdly refuse to go beyond 17. 20 songs should take these gigs up to about 2 hours, which is what they claim to play in interviews. If they lived up to that, these gigs could easily be consistently great. I hate going back to moaning, the end of the US leg looked promising im trying not to guys sry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexander DeLarge Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) TONIGHT'S SET WAS LEGENDARY BEST SHOW OF ALL TIME So now we're getting Stockholm, without Reapers and without the rarities of the festival tour like six months ago http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/muse/2015/donington-park-castle-donington-england-bc93dbe.html The reddit is so fucking stupid, fanboys gonna fanboy tho Edited February 28, 2016 by Alexander DeLarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musekiddo Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 According to this TAB was soundchecked as well: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/muse/2016/accorhotels-arena-paris-france-3f0b5d7.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regilistic Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Wow night 1 got screwed. Wonder if New Born will pop up in Stockholm's place one of the nights. Guiding Light was soundchecked? wat. Edit: I also wonder what piano song will make a return for night 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Wow night 1 got screwed. Wonder if New Born will pop up in Stockholm's place one of the nights. Guiding Light was soundchecked? wat. Gross. Take a Bow being sound checked though... if that's real then it'll be interesting to see where/if it pops up. The sad thing about some of the sets is you can get a really decent enough setlist just using the songs they've played so far. The length is still kinda crappy but the set would leave most people happy no matter the rotations. {Drill Sergeant} Psycho / {JFK} Defector Dead Inside Supermassive Black Hole Hysteria / Plug In Baby Bliss / Map of the Problematique {Isolated System} The Handler Citizen Erased {Intro} Apocalypse Please / United States of Eurasia Munich Jam Revolt Starlight / Madness Time Is Running Out Stockholm Syndrome Reapers Uprising The Globalist {Drones} Mercy Knights of Cydonia Edited February 28, 2016 by heyjackk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepp Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 They really need more variation with their openers/closers. Psycho, Defector and Reapers all make good openers. Reapers and TG would be decent closers, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight is being hyped up a bit more than it deserves tbh Stockholm, Map, Bliss and AP are great songs and all 4 in the same gig is brilliant (even though you shouldn't really have to be considered fortunate to get SS) but, yeah, I'd find it hard to call any of the sets on this tour genuinely 'great' while the gigs are still so short. Add Reapers and something like CE, Dead Star, Butterflies or New Born and then it'd be up there imo. They really need more variation with their openers/closers. Psycho, Defector and Reapers all make good openers. Reapers and TG would be decent closers, too. Psycho's a great opener, that doesn't need changing up imo. Reapers seems like it was born to close some part of the set though so I'm not sure why they've stopped using it there.

Hat Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Not sure why they need another opener. They're using the best opener they have from the new album, which hasn't even been out a year. I mean it's not KoC we're talking about. The audiences literally haven't heard it before unless they've gone to several gigs in which case I think they can deal with the same opener. Switching it up by using Defector or Reapers that obviously don't get the crowd going as well just doesn't make sense imo. And they HAVE used Reapers as a closer. Now they've switched to another song for a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepp Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I mean in the context of doing multiple gigs at the same venue. I agree that Psycho is a good opener, but they opened a few times with Reapers and I think Drones into Reapers works better. Defector was born to be an gig/encore opener imo, because [JFK] + big riff. Also I would like to see Stockholm into Psycho one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 they just need to play it tbh Oh yeah, for sure. I'd kill to see those solos live but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Hopefully it'll pop up on some of these 4/5/6 night residencies, I don't see why not since they'll be stretched for rotation and it's an easy option.

I was looking over Bliss without realizing it, my bad. Generally, you'd be lucky to get Reapers/Map or Plug in Baby/AP at the same gig, but add Bliss in there? That's one more than the luckiest of these arena shows have gotten. Pretty nice, especially for this tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reapers and TG would be decent closers, too. For the sake of the French fans doing multiple nights in Bercy, I'd imagine seeing the same structure 2/3/4/5/6 nights in a row would be annoying. Reapers is a fantastic opener and the entire album should be played across those nights regardless of perceived quality. Reapers should always get played though simply because of how fucking great it is. Where this comes from? The hell?

JimmyP117 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Where this comes from? Interesting! I wonder where they're thinking of putting TaB in the set list...if they actually decide to play it of course.

Jobby Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Interesting! I wonder where they're thinking of putting TaB in the set list...if they actually decide to play it of course. Matt did say they'd play it again at some point (though not necessarily specifically on this tour) last year tbf. I dunno though, I seem to remember TAB being soundchecked a few times over the last few years without being played but I could be wrong on that. They'll be stretched for rotation over 6 nights so I guess we'll see. I wonder where it'd fit it in, maybe before JFK? Main set closer's probs the obvious choice but they seem adamant on that being Uprising. inb4 JFK > TAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
