ryanp16 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That was a nice Dead Inside performance imo. Granted I don't really have much to compare it to since I almost never watch live performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3ker Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 It's a good performance though, just been skimming through. Matt's got Dead Inside under control again, albeit with a new kind of configuration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVf6SUjZO2E I do understand what you mean, but I feel like to get it "under control" he wound up taking the intensity out of the bridge's vocal lines, which is a little bit of a downer. The weak-ish falsetto and the hurried lines in a lower register kind of undermine the song, and the emotional arch that is implied in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Oh I completely agree - but it's still better than not being able to sing it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3ker Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Well, that's an undeniable fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Intensity in Matt's voice isn't really something I've looked for post-BH&R tbh. Stopped being as integral to his vocal style around that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Oh shit. That's the first time I've actually seen the NKOK thing on stage. I feel so bad for Dom and mostly Chris. What an absolute embarrassment. And then the real Matt comes out again wearing yet another pair of douchy shades. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyonco10 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I was at the show last night, my band won a competition to earn a spot at Firefly so I was able to get into the front row, ran into Elle before the show and Matt threw me a guitar pick 😬😬 it was enough to counteract the setlist lol, went backstage as soon as there were done but they apparently walked right off stage into a car and were gone 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 First thing I heard on the audio as NKOK started was someone going "What the fuck?". Nuff said. Think I said this too after Bunbury but 1hr15 feels very short for a festival. Not least given 21 Pilots apparently played longer. Not really that big a fan of that DI vocal. But then tbf the upload isn't of fantastic quality, so it may sound a little better in a better quality. The jazzy Who Knows Who intro was pretty cool, mind. How many pairs of sunglasses is Matt wearing on this thing? There's like 4/5 different pairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 It wouldn't be modern Muse without taking a shtick way, way too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that it's their current single but like.. stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I dunno, what's the alternative? Putting it into that long ass slog in the middle with all the other slow stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I dunno, what's the alternative? Putting it into that long ass slog in the middle with all the other slow stuff? Replace Madness. It's the same song anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01FromFinland Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Replace Madness. It's the same song anyway. Except they're really not the same if you'd listen to it without hating on it. It's not my favorite of their songs, but I'm still gonna say I'd rather have a set with Madness and DD than one that has three/four of FG, UD, DD, DI or Madness.

Except at the moment we have sets with both that also have Undisclosed and/or Dead Inside so what are you going on about? I dunno, what's the alternative? Putting it into that long ass slog in the middle with all the other slow stuff? Fair point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel_Tufnel Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I dunno, what's the alternative? Putting it into that long ass slog in the middle with all the other slow stuff? They might almost be better off starting the encore with Dig Down. It won't make the song any better, of course, but I guess it would be a familiar radio song leading into Uprising. Unfortunately, it's not a song that explodes out of the starting gate like they're hoping it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 First song of the encore was my first choice before the tour started iirc. Muse have always opened with whatever's new though so it's almost not even an option. It's just this time they've only got one song to choose from as opposed to an entire album.

Nicklord Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Downloaded torrent and watched the show. It was actually very good and it looks and sounds awesome. Only complaint for a festival show is replace NKOK with literally any other song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Little Animal Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Obviously I'd prefer for Madness to stay and Dig Down to go, but since the argument was made that Dig Down has to be played because it's the current single, it makes sense to drop the original in favor of its clone.

Light years better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjar7BvpxUE And they sure look like they're having fun playing all the songs they refuse to play now. I wonder if they see North America purely as a continent to milk and get some cash, or if they truly change their sets to accommodate some perceived (or real) lack of taste in the American audiences.

serpentsatellite Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Replace Madness. It's the same song anyway. I wonder which one it is. I would absolutely love if they retired Madness, but sadly a ton of their audience really IS there for that and Starlight. I think it's a bit embarrassing that they created a song so similar to Madness, because it really just smacks of them trying (and failing) to recreate their Big US Moment. And I think the band playing Dig Down at a corporate event for the TV station full of pretty teenager shows that the song is the theme for answers your other question quite nicely.

heyjackk Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Just went back and listened to early Madness performances. Really wouldn't mind hearing it so much if Matt still belted the I need your love bits god it always gets me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
