Jobby Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) Never mind, hadn't heard of VK before. Guess it's real then. Why start doing this now? For me, it'd be best to finish the current leg/tour as you've started and then start afresh with the request system maybe next year, giving every gig the same treatment. If it's some kind of trial for something a bit bigger in the future then fair enough but I've got my doubts. Also, what is the actual point in including Knights, Uprising, Supermassive, Starlight, TIRO, Psycho, Drones D&B, Isolated System and Drones. Unless they mean to send some kind of message saying "lol, see, everyone loves knights". Edited July 6, 2016 by Jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjjoie Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I won't be surprised if FG wins in Athens It's quite popular and casual fans would love to sing-along. Muscle Museum and Dead Star aren't on the list either. (Hope never dies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It was always going to be a sham. That's why Matt said "democracy isn't going to get you Yes Please. lol" He apparently wants to prove that "99%" of people are just going to vote for stuff that will be played anyways, "proving" no one wants the rarities.

DifferentPerson Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Oh look, we're back in 2010. I'm interested to see how this plays out though, hopefully more successful than the ones in 2010... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 VK is Russian Facebook. I think they just put all the songs they rehearsed for this tour. The point is putting up the songs that have been and will be played at 100% of the gigs is just making a show of doing what he said, while still being super disrespectful. Are they going to replace Starlight with Futurism if it wins? No. They're going to play most of that list regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I hate to say it for not wanting to sound perma-negative or paranoid but it's coming across like that more and more to me ngl. The only reasons I can see for including the staples just like last time, despite all the feedback of why not to, are: a) Like you say, trying to 'prove' that no one really wants to hear rarities b) Quickly getting out of this whole 'request tour' business as easily as possibly by tacking it on to the last few gigs and including staples to avoid actually doing anything different They knew what they were doing in 2010 and this is seeming like pretty much the exact same deal. Except now it's one song (and not even necessarily the top voted one) instead of a top five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 So how can we all vote there? Do we need to live in Russia to join? Let's all vote for the same song lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 So how can we all vote there? Do we need to live in Russia to join? Let's all vote for the same song lol I imagine you just need an account to comment your vote. I doubt us all voting for one song will make a different though tbh. Note that the paragraph doesn't say "the top song will get played", it just says "you have the chance to pick a song". Maybe I'm just being paranoid but it feels intentionally vague to me.

Spectrum IV Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Drones Choir (Reprise). Wtf 😂 Does that mean they're going to play Drones three times? Why is a playback song even on there? And why are staples in the choices? It's a bit hard to say they don't know the difference after Montreux. Also their choice of rarities is still really weak. I really couldn't care less about random B-sides when they aren't playing Sunburn, Muscle Museum, Uno, New Born, Hyper Music, Dead Star etc, and even songs like Bliss, Stockholm and MotP are fairly uncertain.

DifferentPerson Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) > Fans complain > Matt asks what Muse can do > Fans say they could allow fans to pick songs for gigs > Muse allow fans to pick songs for a gig > Fans complain I know this isn't the perfect way of doing it, but at least they're doing something. This is probably just the best they could come up with at short notice. Maybe they will even ignore the people voting for hits, or use this as a trial run for a similar (but better) system in the future. People will probably still complain whatever the outcome though. Edit: and to people complaining that Dead Star, Muscle Museum etc aren't on there, it's clearly just the songs they've played this year. Bit odd that there's no Sunburn, but maybe they just forgot that one. All of this is assuming that the thing is even real obvs. Edited July 6, 2016 by DifferentPerson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or even that they've already decided on a rarity they're going to play and just put this out there for show. I'd even be ok with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they will even ignore the people voting for hits, or use this as a trial run for a similar (but better) system in the future. They already did a similar vote in 2010 that didn't do much because it was filled with standard setlist songs already. They had six years to figure out a new method.

ryanp16 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Fair play to them though, they didn't put UD on the list. Edit: It wouldve been so funny if they had asked to just vote for rarities. They would've been spammed to fuck with "where's starlight?!?! :( " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 If the best they can do is take 1 minute to type out every song played on the Drones Tour so far, including two playback tracks and the drum and bass jam, then they *shouldn't* have bothered. This smacks of putting on a show to shut people up. You absolutely cannot tell me they didn't expect everyone to be voting for a song already on the setlist. If no one votes for SMBH or Madness, will they drop them? There's clearly no interest for them, by their logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 No, people are just voting for TIRO and Starlight, from what I saw. It runs really poorly. It's not exactly a "hardcore fan" thing - it's essentially just their official page on FB, but for Russians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had six years to figure out a new method. I knew about the 2010 polls... I'm just hoping that in those 6 years they've learned to filter the hits out of the results (although ideally they would just leave them out of the list in the first place) I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THEY'VE LEARNED SOMETHING, OK :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DifferentPerson Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It is dumb that anyone can vote though. It should be restricted to just people who are going to the gig in question. Did the 2010 polls do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It is mixed, and people even voted for Muscle museum and Showbiz which isn't on the list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
