Drones Album Discussion Thread

Wouldn't surprise me if they never play it live tbh

 

I'm hopeful. I doubt it'll get Big Freeze'd. I imagine it'll be either Revolt or Aftermath that gets that treatment.

Please tell me you hold up a rum and coke and in a really high voice go "YOU'RE SO SOLID!"

 

I'm belting it when I had a few, definitely.

ah yeah probably. I love Aftermath to bits but not too sure how it would work live, so that's a good contender to be this album's Big Freeze

I must try this in future. You're an inspiration to pie-eyed Musers everywhere.

Psycho is the ultimate pre drink song. As soon as those riffs blast out from my speakers, the drink in my hand gets downed. Every time.

I try!

 

So many memories,.. or the distinct lack of them.

I really think they are saving songs like The Globalist and Aftermath for the indoor shows, where they actually may play the whole album. I do think they'll play Defector and Revolt for the festivals.

Given my age I haven't actually been drunk that often, but I get the impression if I do at some point, I would probably sing Sober thinking I was absolutely hilarious.

[Citizen Erased 01]

I personally can't see Globalist being played live, it doesn't seem like it would suit it tbh. Maybe if they got rid of the first 3 mins? But then it would just be a short jam and piano ballad. Not sure where I stand with this. Love it big time, but not sure how they'd do it live. Would be intrigued to see how they perform it if they do, though

take a bow is great fun to try singing drunk

My singing tutor thinks they should shorten the intro to a minute and a half, couple it with a visual display and use the heavy part as an opener before transitioning into something like New Born which replaces the piano ballad.

I could sort of see that

I'd love to see them give it a try.

I would love for them to play the whole album as one set for the arena tour. Then they will have time to play TG and the visuals will probably help to fill out the experience. Then they'll have a second set with 15 old songs. That would be awesome IMO.

That's something I've always wanted them to do. Worked pretty well when MCR did it with the Black Parade for lack of a better example.

[LewisF]

They should play:

8 new songs

7 Hits

7-8 Semi-Rarities/Rarities

 

At least.

 

Simples.

that would be good. It's a good album to play all the way through as well imo, there's a few headbangers, a few pop tunes, a quiet track and an epic

Yeah. I think Muse only have done that once? With BH&R in 2006.

And Origin in 2011 if that counts.

That makes 23 songs, I can see that happening only for stadium gigs

they did BHAR in full? good lord, I didn't know that

[Boogles.]

They played 21-22 on some of the arena shows (excluding America lol) so them bumping the sets to 23 isn't entirely an unreasonable presumption. I'm more interested to see if they'll go over 27 songs if they do another stadium tour again.

they seem to like their short lists atm. was slightly disappointed the Psycho tour only had around 16 songs per venue. on the other hand, the fact that MM/Assassin/Futurism were played made up for that in a lot of ways

I think they should play 25 if they play CE or TG, and 27 if not
