Wraffah Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 The Metallica thing sounds like it'd disrupt the gig a bit to me? Do the voting/poll before the gig imo, then let the gig itself flow normally. They did a poll online beforehand, tickets tied to codes that let you log in, which picked the top 16 songs (they were all the usual suspects, Sandman, puppets etc). the 17th song was decided by Metallica who built a setlist around them and the final 18th slot was used for the 'vote of the day' which was the song during the encore. it was flashed on screen between opening acts and mentioned a couple of times between songs. invariably all the setlists were basically the same, with a couple of noteworthy exceptions like a REALLY REALLY HEAVY setlist in Latin America where they had to drop Nothing Else Matters and played a bunch of thrash songs, Finland which got a song they'd not played ever before in 27 years, and St Anger making an appearance at a few shows around Germany. Overall it was a total washout and I don't think it lived up to its full potential purely because everyone picked the hits and most of the setlists were functionally identical.

forevermusic Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Probably re-watch it later. Facebook Live quality is usually poor tbf, although maybe Muse have something more sophisticated on hand than one guy with a phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boombleeb Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 People on Facebook are already asking for songs like Supermassive Black Hole, Hysteria, Guiding Light and Stockholm Syndrome...I wonder how bad this can actually go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musefanva Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Imagine being able to request any song you want and Supermassive Black Hole is the one you decide on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 People don't know enough about the setlists to know that they're 100% going to play certain songs, and on top of that the "by request" thing gives people the illusion that maybe their favorite huge hit isn't safe unless they vote for it. Stuff like that is always sort of a sham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halo eighteen Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 So they're apparently giving a choice between Bliss and Plug in Baby. Seriously, fucking fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Bliss is pretty damn hard to see in the US, tbf. Also, is there any way the people AT the gig can know to vote? Because otherwise the whole thing is a bit silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musefanva Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 It's definitely between PiB and Bliss. And the Facebook live quality is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonisdead Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I'm calling it, the next options are between The Handler and Stockholm. They're going to give the illusion of choice but these are just going to be selections between tracks they're already rotating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musefanva Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Yep. Ugh, I wish they could have rotated Bliss in Atlanta. I'm guessing the next one is UD/DI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I honestly can't believe people thought they could vote for stuff like Glorious and FAWY to begin with. The hopes that there wouldn't be an illusion of choice, doesn't even have to be crazy rarities just ones that aren't in the typical setlist. What's there to stop one person from spamming the shit out of a song? And nothing, actually. You can flood and I think the proportions would increase. Also fuck having the option between The Handler and Stockholm, this just signals to Muse that given either of these songs the other one would have to be retired. Both are good and both should stay in the set but not as rotations with each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Resistance usually gets the best reaction of the whole gig in the US. I'm glad I saw Handler live, but I don't know if it was just the shit energy during the gigs, but I'd actually rather see SS again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
