forevermusic Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Let's make it happen! Ski suits > Drones suits. Could you imagine them in the much warmer environs of Lisbon on Monday wearing those? I didn't mind the "go-kart" red-trimmed outfits on the Psycho Tour last March, and in that vid. The ones used between that and getting the drone trouser/jacket suits did look rubbish.

denise3112 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I love that only Morgan looks even slightly embarrassed. Dom is embracing it thoroughly. Morgan looks as though that's what a middle-aged man might actually wear... Chris and Matt are retro chi-chi girly tongue-in-cheek and don't give a shit so that's funny but Dom aargh that shiny suit is filth, grime, and needs to burn in hell.

serpentsatellite Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Well there's also some fan claiming Glen said they did soundcheck Defector at some point, and they didn't like the way it sounded. So maybe that really is what happened. Dom also said in the Q&A thing that it was soundchecked and he said they did like how it sounded, but maybe the others (ie. Matt) didn't like it and decided against playing it? I mean, we know that's exactly what happened, but more of "why tell some poor fans you're going to play it, and then not play it?" Like, with Jobby and the Assassin sign; Matt looked at it, but didn't confirm it or anything. Defector got a really specific answer, and it either didn't pan out, or was a snarky response to having already played it. Could you imagine them in the much warmer environs of Lisbon on Monday wearing those? I didn't mind the "go-kart" red-trimmed outfits on the Psycho Tour last March, and in that vid. The ones used between that and getting the drone trouser/jacket suits did look rubbish. I did think the red trim should have been carried over; it at least gave a tiny bit of color to the outfits. The onesies were always a bad idea, even if it was meant to represent something. The only way anyone ever would know what it represented is on the off chance they'd read the one interview where Matt brought it up, and STILL then only would have made sense if they'd bothered to make a story out of the setlist.

Clunge Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 The one thing I really noticed about the O2 show I went to is just how much of Muse's heaviness these days come entirely from Chris. His bass tones are just mindblowing these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I still can't wrap my head around the band playing those bleak songs from Drones wearing those outfits. Probably would have laughed my ass off during Dead Inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Morgan looked so, so unimpressed with the whole thing. I'm also taking from Matt's Tweets that while he might make the setlists, the others usually get to outvote him on the stage outfits. Thank god.

blubb0r Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Never seen this before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvHZ8VouZHM There are pro-shots from every song of the ep on youtube I still love the "Supermacy" version from this gig.

The first 3-4 rows (less than 200 people) were jumping and singing. But the rest of the crowd (more than 400 people) were just standing there, drinking champagne and filming with their phones. there were lots and lots of sponsors and officials of Warner Europe.

serpentsatellite Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Seems pretty common with these sorts of gigs, and makes it a REAL shame they use them to play songs that won't ever get played elsewhere. And how the crowd feels is really only relevant to right where you're standing, anyways. It's hard to see out of your spot, or get a feeling for other spots when you aren't in them.

kueller Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 3-4 rows of jumping is still more lively than the arena shows I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubb0r Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 After the gig I met an couple (about 45 years old). The woman said, that she didn't like the gig because it was too "loud". I asked her about her favorite song, she said "I only know Madness" and her husband said "I don't know the band at all - but now I know, why I don't know them… I don't like rock music!". I nearly started crying… They got the tickets (and the train and the hotel room), because they knew someone from Warner Europe… I do understand that there are people from Warner Music or similar… I don't know a proper word… institutions (?). But the ratio should be 75% "real fans" - 25% "label/other guests"… and not the opposite like in the Cologne, Gloria gig case... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 The Mayan in the US was pretty shitty with industry types, friends, insiders and random people who won a contest, too. I don't know why they bother unless they're going to do a more thorough tour and give fans a shot of getting in. It's pretty evil that Cologne was the ONLY performance of Defector, for sure. And I jumped at my gigs about equal times that Matt did, so I feel just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) AB Brussels was the only performance of Defector. ah crap, I got those two confused. Cologne was the one with Fury, Supremacy and Assassin then, right? I swear these meds are killing my memory, and it's not because I just crossed that 37 year old mental decline barrier... (officially, my meds were just linked to dementia. ) That was still the one you couldn't buy tickets to, right? I still hate their belief in playing the songs their hardcore fans want to see in gigs that are too hard for their hardcore fans to get into. I don't get it. At all. Showbiz at a small gig in France? I can imagine the bloodbath the ticket sales for that gig would be anyways. Edited May 1, 2016 by SerpentSatellite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Actual set from yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubb0r Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) If they do something like the Psycho Club tour again (hopefully in continental europe), I'm willing to pay a fortune to see as many gigs as possible. I still hate myself for not going to the Manchester gig (I already had plans for the day and the flights were expensive as shit)… But seeing Fury and Assassin was… epic. edit: And having Royal Blood as support was epic as well another edit: hahahahaha Sunburn It's not "Big Freeze", but it's funny too Edited May 1, 2016 by blubb0r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Showbiz at a small gig in France? I can imagine the bloodbath the ticket sales for that gig would be anyways. Oh god don't, I'm aiming to get a ticket to that (assuming it actually happens) and just thinking about it sets my anxiety off Made even worse by it being super hard to buy second-hand tickets for their small gigs as well nowadays, so if you don't manage to get one in the 10 seconds it takes to sell out then that's pretty much it Also makes it nigh impossible to go to multiple gigs if they're announced at the same time. Actual set from yesterday. JFK's finally found it's rightful place as main set closer, noice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 What an odd set that is - in fact, the one they actually played was odd too. Not bad though for a jolly in the mountains though, bet it was a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Interesting note - it's the first time Bliss has closed the main set since Brisbane in 2010 iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
