LewisF Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 There will only be one drone. The 'super' drone. There'll be lots of other drones dotted around like them colour changing asteroid objects last tour, and the "Super Drone" will be the next step up from Charles The Robot.

Captain Radiator Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Amusingly, I know some people who are obsessed with those things, and they insist on them being called 'quadrotors' instead of 'drones'... its a sort of "you-know-who" taboo. "Drones kill people, these don't" is the explanation given. The type that Matt and the other guy are flying in that photo is a DJI Inspire and they're worth $3,000 each http://www.dji.com/products Edit: These are way too small to be useful at gigs for anything other than snazzy camera angles, and even then getting permission to fly them over an audience would be a complete nightmare. Those rotor blades are carbon fibre and if one went wrong and came down, it could do serious damage to anyone unfortunate enough to be below as it fell. Also they generally have a maximum battery life of 20 minutes. Edited April 9, 2015 by Captain Radiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Sick idea bro, but it doesn't fit the theme of the album since drones=people and not the "all-seeing eye of the government". Still a pretty cool idea, could be used for their tinfoil hat songs I guess. Hmmmm, probably. Suppose it's not beyond the realms of possibility to fuse the two ideas, although as noted, flying drones over the crowd might prove problematic to squeeze past Health & Safety. Or maybe, as noted, you could have an array of drones similar to the balloons or brain electrodes in the stands behind the stage on the previous stadium tours.

JessicaSarahS Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 but what if charles could fly? Wasn't Matt embarrassed by Charles in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudia O Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I remember a member o f Muse saying that the last tour was the top of the iceberg, they can't go any further...so maybe one drone as part of the stage setting, a big one over the heads of the band, fimling them ... Or the stage is a drone...oh, someone said that already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Middle of the stadium tour seemed to be the moment when they decided to be serious about the whole "stripping back" thing. But then they also released Dead Inside. We'll see where this goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Instrumentally in comparison but in approach more comparable to older albums, but also there's still the chance it was intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Heat Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 It would be cool to fly a couple of Drones at the begininng of the encore for example, like 2 Drones flying in circles over the audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonocracy Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I don't think Health and Safety will allow drones to be used at gigs, much less a million drones These things seem like they can inflict some nasty injuries... and may not be sufficiently reliable. In the news today, Jay Chou (quite a famous Taiwanese pop star) narrowly missed a drone mishap out at sea while filming a music video. Now, imagine multiple drones over a crowd of thousands... seems like a potential disaster http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/entertainment/jay-chou-narrowly-escapes/1775998.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Instrumentally in comparison but in approach more comparable to older albums, but also there's still the chance it was intentional. Two minimal synths were basically the only things that were "added" to the 3 piece formula. Muse won't get big and bombast unless the song thematically calls for it, like The Globalist.

Boogles. Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I believe strings and a hammond organ feature on Psycho... They're rather low in the mix though, and even then, the song still sounds like the 3 of them moshing together in a room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Two minimal synths were basically the only things that were "added" to the 3 piece formula. The robot voice too though. Not a big addition by any means but still something a bit OTT and totally superfluous. Just found this ( nothing to do with drones tough..) We have a Muse covers thread.

jonisdead Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I believe strings and a hammond organ feature on Psycho... I meant Dead Inside. But yeah, Muse are still staying minimal, the organ was effective and I didn't hear any strings. The robot voice too though. Not a big addition by any means but still something a bit OTT and totally superfluous. It adds character to the song, the less they do to distinguish it from other tracks when it's intended to cater to a pop audience could just end up making it sound samey. But yeah, a couple synths + the robot voice. At least the way the synths are used aren't silly like in Uprising. I like Uprising but the intent feels very different here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The robot voice too though. Not a big addition by any means but still something a bit OTT and totally superfluous. The robot voice is one of my favourite parts about the song Same with the one in Reapers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
