kueller Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I was genuinely gonna go to this gig. I went to Paris instead. You've seen several of these get off the ledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Oh, feck off. I was considering going to this over the Paris gig. You gave over Montreux for an obviously "commercial" event aimed to casual listeners?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Are they doing this because they lost the Zepp recording or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citizen_Eraser Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 It was quite easy to predict that the setlist at this would have been better anyway. I agree, I haven't been to these boards in forever but after seeing Glasto and saw that Montreux was coming up I had a gut feeling something would be up at this gig.

Jobby Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Crowd looks pretty dead in videos. Seriously wondering what warranted this set. You've seen several of these get off the ledge. I know, I know but I was this close You gave over Montreux for an obviously "commercial" event aimed to casual listeners?! I looked on the website for MJF, literally about to buy tickets, and read something about the festival being spread over different venues? Knowing my anxiety would already be through the roof with travelling abroad for the first time and being by myself in a foreign country, I figured it wasn't worth the extra stress if true and said 'meh, it's a festival, what's the worst I could miss'. Paris seemed easier and also had a teeny bit of potential to be special. Kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I keep hearing "yeah of course Montereux would be better than Paris and Glasto" but where's the precedent in that? The fact that they played a good gig there in 2002? The same could be said for Glastonbury and pretty much every gig in Paris ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 The fact that they refuse to play ONE of these songs at their own arena gigs (or even CE or Bliss if you're US) and then they do shit like this for no reason is indeed a dick move.

Yup. If I was there I'd be kind of bummed that they didn't play The Handler though lol. ... This reminds me of all the pricks who voted for PiB and TiRO and Knights etc in the setlist polls because "its not a muse gig without those songs".

Jobby Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 It's the fact that it's a festival that bugs me the most. At least Zepp was their own gig. Practically half the people (if not more) at this gig won't know 90% of what's being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris seemed easier and also had a teeny bit of potential to be special. Kill me. Sorry, I guess I've come across the point a bit roughly. I didn't want to be inappropriate, I was just honestly shocked that a hardcore fan like you could choose an Euro2016 gig over a historical venue like Montreux, where the guys were almost certainly due to play a brain-melting set.

Alexander DeLarge Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 hopefully someone is rolling on this... I bet it's being filmed for the DVD as extras or something to show "Hey, we're playing a small venue/obscure material to a bunch of hardcore fans! This is representative of our tour!"

Citizen_Eraser Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Yup. ... This reminds me of all the pricks who voted for PiB and TiRO and Knights etc in the setlist polls because "its not a muse gig without those songs". Well no that was retard casuals who don't know that those songs are guarantees over a decade later still. I'm saying if this was the one Muse show I went to this tour TH would be the only song I'd be really bummed to have not heard. And Dead Inside too I guess. The rest of the usuals I've already seen 4 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I don't think anyone would have expected this. It isn't even their own gig and is full of people who have no idea what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander DeLarge Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Why can't you just be happy for people there? Not when there's people who did 20 shows in the US and got less variation than two or three shows in Europe. It's fucking ridiculous. Generally speaking, I could have picked one of the European gigs at random and been infinitely happier than what I got at my six. They'll play this to a bunch of random people but they won't play one or two of these songs to their own fucking fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Why can't you just be happy for people there? Heeeeeeere we go. They're playing a shit ton of songs THEY KNOW that fans like us want to hear. But they refuse to play them. Then go play them at a fucking festival where the vast majority of people have no idea what they're hearing because they're so obscure. But they wont play this shit at their own gigs, even one of them. So yeah I'm so fucking happy for the people there who every five seconds are asking "whats this this isnt madness is it?"
