ryanp16 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Is this poll for tomorrow's Kyiv gig still a thing? Yeah, apparently B&H is winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I still can't see more than 100 comments, but stuff like Assassin and BH was really favored yesterday, but is now quickly losing out to the expected stuff. Resistance, TIRO, SMBH and Uprising. You would hope Matt would look at it and say "wow, they didn't win, but considering I put my entire back catalogue of Greatest Hits on here... these rarer songs did REALLY well! I was wrong. Let's play one at every gig." But, he's never going to look at it, is he? Some employee is just going to text him the 'winner.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Good choice. Worth pointing out again that the poll doesn't actually specify that the top voted song will be the one that gets chosen. The wording seemed suspiciously vague to me, like "people can vote and a song will be chosen". That said, Butterflies isn't a too 'out there' choice so maybe Matt won't feel the need to veto it.

serpentsatellite Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'd like to say that the top voted song "winning" and being played seems implied with a poll, stated or not, but... Muse... Also calling it a "poll" is grossly exaggerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 We've finally reached the point where something involving drones is more than the use of the word "drones" on Drones... http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/6/12104970/please-dont-build-birds-to-shit-on-kids Muse was right. Drones ARE super terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Apparently this is the current state of the poll 1- Butterflies(206) 2-Resistance(178) 3-Bliss(174) 4-Assassin(169) 5-Fury(159) 6-MOTP(125) 7-TIRO(113) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 3 are rarities, the others are staples or regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroya Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Bliss has kind of slipped into rarity field as of late surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Bliss has kind of slipped into rarity field as of late surely? Nah, it's been played quite regularly on this tour. as much as CE. It's about as rare as MotP I think now, so a semi-rarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 MotP 46 times, Bliss 36. 41 to 20 if we only count 2016 though. Citizen 45 times on the tour, 23 times in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samz2 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 And then again, that magic capacity was 5500 for the Swiss, but 1800 couldn't even get the US a comparable Psycho Tour. I just remembered how when Webster got SS they managed to drop the Micro Cuts riff outro which had been played at all the UK gigs... because you know, they didn't want to alienate the casual American audience or whatever. Oh, Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenbanana Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 2-Resistance(178) I give up on the world, what the fuck. Sometimes stuff makes me question why we have brains and ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I give up on the world, what the fuck. Sometimes stuff makes me question why we have brains and ears. Outside of this board, it seems pretty popular tbf. I feel like I've seen and heard a lot of people say it's among their best songs, I'm not even talking about casuals either. Not sure why here seems like the only place where the majority either think it's meh or outright hate it. Personally, I just think it's pretty boring.

Not sure why here seems like the only place where the majority either think it's meh or outright hate it. Personally, I just think it's pretty boring. Resistance got by far the best reception at one of my gigs, and the second best at the other. It was really intense. And didn't they not play it for a good portion of Europe? I don't think they even played it at all the US gigs. If someone even gives Matt a top five like that, though, shouldn't that be enough to be "oh, fucking wow, BH, Assassin, and fucking FURY... I was completely fucking wrong." ...? If he fucks this up, I think we all need to cuss him out on Twitter again to get his attention and let him know his 99% shit is pure horse plop... Apparently cursing is the only thing that gets his attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Keep in mind that this is Ukraine, they've only had two shows there ever (they got B&H before, but that was at their first show in 2007) They got CE/Megalomania/Map/Take a Bow last time (2011 staples so Hysteria/Exo 1/SS as well).

Oh, Muse. Yes. That's why they did Execution Commentary instead. 2-Resistance(178) I didn't realize Matt had 178 different VK accounts! Nah, j/k, I know it's actually a very popular song. Got one of the bigger reactions at the shows I attended too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 He doesn't really need 178 accounts. People are voting dozens and dozens of times all on one account anyways. VK has a poll option!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 We're using social media in it's intended way, without being stalkerish or harassing. Sorry. (We're also not violating the rules, by only discussing band's personal lives and opinions only in as much as they disclosed in interviews... ) Brexit is off topic so... and discussing Instagram isn't violating rules lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Brexit is off topic so... and discussing Instagram isn't violating rules lol It's part of three separate reviews/interviews with Matt about the tour, so I don't see why it wouldn't be as on/off topic on the Tour thread as Elle's or Matt's brother's Instagram... Didn't imply you were breaking the rules, either, although Elle's personal IG could be an interesting conundrum for that, as she posts things that probably wouldn't be really welcome to the board, and even ones that out right break the rules here, including pap photos... Hmmm. Stop trying to police topics you don't like for some reason, and do what you're going to do. We don't have to agree with you, and sorry, but the majority don't. And if Matt cared about people discussing his politics, he'd have kept his clapper silent about it in interviews, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 On topic, am I the only one obsessively watching Dee's comment on reddit? He's losing out a little to the first comment by a 6 point margin again, but there's a newer comment from someone else that's almost tied the original with 26! "Beyond stupid to have huge singles and setlist staples as options to vote for. I've seen several bands do this, and then all the casuals vote for shit like Uprising and Madness so then the band goes "See? Nobody wants rarities." I have no idea why this is so fascinating. People obsess and fight with each other over reddit downvotes, don't they? It seems like it would trigger a lot of people. Diabolical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
