kueller Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 You know if I was to the point of getting bored of Stockholm and Take A Bow I'd be pretty pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Also Stockholm remains the best song I've seen Muse perofrm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Also Stockholm remains the best song I've seen Muse perofrm. SS and New Born are my top 2 songs though, so I wish I could see both at every gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Don't really understand the SS love to be honest. I've had it at 9 of 11 shows and it's stale as fuck to me. The two without it this year were a welcome reprieve. I'd say the same for Plug In Baby and Hysteria. I get really bored of hearing the same songs at every show, every year, no matter where I go. Hell, even Map and TAB were getting dry by the fourth consecutive show, and the former is one of my top five songs by any band, ever. Maybe the problem is that you've seen Muse 9-11 times. It's not really surprising you'd find it stale after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find a song stale after the 9th show, maybe it's not the song's fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyy Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'm finding Stockholm uninspiring live too. But, I'm not absolutely huge on it so it's probably that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Honestly I wasn't that impressed by it when I saw it back in 2009, but then again I had awful earplugs and was severely dehydrated already at the start so the whole show was kind of a blur.

kueller Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I don't have much memories of it from 2010 (same arena tour) so that might not be just you. It's the 2011 that really stuck with me and the other performances of it that year had good responses. T2L Stockholm also looked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picko Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Stockholm Syndrome is my absolute favourite song. Seen it nine times live and it's consistently one of the stand out songs of the night in terms of audience reaction. In my opinion it's heresy that it's not a staple in the set. Usually I'm at the front in the mosh pit when it's played, but watching it from a bit of a distance at Download allowed me to just appreciate it in a different way. I think that song was the moment when Download sceptics realised that Muse had found the perfect balance of heaviness and melody, that they were a perfect fit to headline.

denise3112 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Stockholm Syndrome .... the perfect balance of heaviness and melody, Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpypotato Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The thing I really remember from hearing SS back in 2010 were these girls screaming at the top of their lungs behind me. One of them started having a coughing fit and honestly it was pretty hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3ker Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Stockholm sounds strong instrumentally, but at the gig I attended Matt really dodged those "I wish I could"s which to me takes a lot out of the tune. Maybe it's because all these years I've mostly listened to those powerful 2003/2004 versions of SS where Matt really delivered those vocals...seems a bit weak now. But it's still a banger. I kept myself away from spoilers for a few months so I was quite surprised to get it after the JFK thingie finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn. Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I kept myself away from spoilers for a few months so I was quite surprised to get it after the JFK thingie finished. By that time it'll probably be JFK + Panic Station, i reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiT Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I saw Muse many times and never once I got CE. It is getting annoying. And I'm certain they won't play at Sziget Festival either. This arena tour was my last and only chance. It's likely it will be dropped more and more by the next album. Even now it's in every 4th gig.

You've been pretty unlucky but I wouldn't worry that much tbh. Apart from the T2L Tour, CE's been in reasonably consistent rotation for every tour since 2001 tmk. If it's survived this long, I can't see it dying away on the next tour. Especially since it seems to be one of Matt's few go-to fan favourites, as it gets requested for practically every gig.

serpentsatellite Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 CE and Bliss seem to be the only two he'll semi reliably play, it seems. I mean, in Europe, but that goes without saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 After seeing them 18 times and Stockholm 15 times it's still a huge favourite of mine. Every time I think "will it be as good this time?" I continue to get blown away. Should be played at every show without question. Manchester 2010/2013 and Wembley 2007/10 remain personal highlights, blistering performances and amazing crowds. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Amazing how many times some people see bands. I think I've seen a band 4 times at the most. But then again I WOULD like to see them again, so I guess I haven't really reached my limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Yeah, 18 times since 2007 is an awful lot, I only started listening to them 2006 as well. I've got Glastonbury next month but I think that'll be the last one for a while for me. It's getting to the point now where I doubt I'll see any more songs for the first time anymore (barring songs from a new album tour); I got lucky with rotations at Wembley 2010, two Psycho tour gigs, Download/Leeds because of how they hyped them up as being 'different' and most recently London night 4...that was sheer luck with Assassin and AP. Songs like Uprising and SMBH have certainly lost a lot of their charm, but that's expected. Still, I've never seen them and thought "that was average". Every time has ranged from great to amazing. After this tour and the combination of short sets and expensive tickets I can't see myself seeing them more than once on future tours. Unless they start to play 22+ songs at the arenas and bring back/rotate more older tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I've seen Muse once a year for the past... 12 years. In fact, the Eiffel Tower gig will tip me just into more than once a year. I do aim to get to as many 'one-off' or 'special' gigs as possible as a priority, although I do inevitably end up at one of the normal tour shows per tour.

kueller Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I'd have seen them more if I was capable of it. Not at my limit either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
