Jobby Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Got sidetracked from re-pointing out that, now we have the actual album length and with it being so short, this could help how people end up feeling w/ sets a bit. If you guesstimate that they play the usual 7/8 new tracks, you could be looking at that only taking up around 30-35 minutes of the gig, give or take. Would leave an hour or maybe even a smidge more for other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll do 18 song sets and be done in an hour. Edited October 30, 2018 by jonisdead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the feeling SMBH, Starlight, Madness, Knights, Time Is Running Out, Uprising and possibly Psycho are going to be guaranteed which means there's probably 14-15 slots (70 odd mins + a drum and bass jam and some faffing) taken up.

They'll do 18 song sets and be done in an hour. i surmise you're being partly facetious. they would NEVER do mere 60-minute sets chock-full of mostly rubbish, walk off the stage, and call it night...would they? c'mon. unless there are epic tracks yet to be released on ST, if they play ST tracks along w/ starlight, madness, UD, uprising, hysteria, TIRO, and KOC...or some other similar combo of tired material, they're screwing themselves....or are they? perhaps not. this band knows they have fans that love their 'crap' material...and others that love the stuff they'll rarely play again. everyone on here knows that a 60-minute set is entirely unacceptable unless it's a festival appearance, in which case they should be headlining and get 85-90 minutes. so, in any event, a 60 minute set at any gig is just bonkers. they aren't that old...yet.

That Little Animal Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 So we basically only have 23 minutes worth of new songs left waiting for us. Those alternate versions better be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think Psycho has made its way into their Must Play No Matter what list, seems like Hysteria is pretty cemented there now too. Kinda wish they’d do a Hysteria/TIRO & SMBH/MoTP at this point, I’m sure it’ll just be the ST songs plus all the must plays you listed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're obviously not going to play 60 minute shows. Just wait and see my friends. We've already had our qualms with "filler" songs that just add to the song count in recent years. If songs are getting shorter, the setlist would much sooner have the same amount of songs or fewer before it gets longer; this is Muse after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen_Eraser Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Honestly with nearly down to one week left a leak could be very imminent. Very common for media to leak 1-2 weeks early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they played zero ST songs and just played the hits they've been playing, that reaches about 60 minutes or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onlyness Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 No Matter what list, seems like Hysteria is pretty cemented there now too. Hysteria was rotated during parts of T2L and Drones Tour, i'm pretty sure it will be the same for ST Tour. And who knows, maybe (I hope) they will begin to rotate TiRO and SMBH.

Clunge Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I just hope they bring back old songs that fit this era. Map is the most obvious choice. I think Endlessly would be terrific too, it’s got that slightly electronic vibe but it’s also very paired back and emotive, the sort of vibe I feel Matt is going for with ST. Bliss is another good option. I’d throw Sing For Absolution, Soldiers Poem, Undisclosed Desires (ya rly), MK Ultra and Dead Inside out there too.

Man_In_Showbiz Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Panic Station and Follow Me would probably go down well too although I'm not a fan of the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
te718 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 $6 to ship a $12 CD is a bit much IMO. I want to preorder for ticket access but does anyone know a workaround to this high shipping cost or have a free shipping code to use in the store?

Just imagine a TDS-MOTP-Bliss combo within a single gig. EDIT: Why not FAWY, too? Or Cave, or IBTY, Shrinking Universe, The Gallery... Panic Station and Follow Me would probably go down well too although I'm not a fan of the latter Pressure and PS back-to-back = ACE. They feature horns in both of them and are even in the same key.

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Pls don't allow me to dream But it's quite possible if you think about it. Bliss is a historical staple and MOTP is somewhat in the same vein of ST sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobby Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) So in Kerrang, Matt’s basically summed up how, if Drones was ‘the future’s gonna be shit’, ST is ‘the future’s gonna be great’ and honestly just give me this album now ‘cos I want those vibes. Also went into more detail about the toll the Drones tour ended up taking on him/them. Basically feeling like they were doing the exact same show night after night, with so many dates as well, made it feel like a grind. Would explain why they looked particularly on auto-pilot or even pretty disconnected at times. Maybe spells a bit more fun and variation on this tour? Don’t wanna get carried away. Reminds me a lot of T2L coming off the TR tour. Edited October 31, 2018 by Jobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksideshines Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Just read some French magazine review, will post source later (probably will be on Reddit) Not much but apparently Blockades is just a lovely mixture of old MUSEs best moments.

Yeah, they seem more concerned about not upsetting the casual fans by not playing Hysteria every show while meanwhile theyve been letting down more “hard core” fans the past few years but not dropping something as simple as a New Born or Bliss in the set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
