FabriPav Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Now I'm not one for the condescending replies (Hi Frak, how you doin?) but how much do you know about Muse? I explained what I meant later: "If you can choose between SS+riffs and Knights of Cydonia (or Take a Bow) as a gig closer, SS+riffs isn't the best choice. Would be perfect for main setlist closer, if you want, but after BH&R there are better options for closing a gig." I know that first post of mine could sound "noobish", lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 What I meant it that if you can choose between SS+riffs and Knights of Cydonia (or Take a Bow) as a gig closer, SS+riffs isn't the best choice. Would be perfect for main setlist closer, if you want, but after BH&R there are better options for closing a gig. Its the whole idea of overusing KoC as a show closer, which it has been. Take a Bow works too and can be used though. But I decided to close it out at 18, which works for a festival. Maybe chuck in TaB for an arena show.

After all is what Muse did, TaB was in most of the arena setlists. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knights has been overused (it's boring now) and when Take A Bow climaxes it leaves people wanting something afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love how TaB ends, i think it's the best way to end a gig (it's a matter of personal opinion, here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Exo -> SS -> TaB. Best closer. You would use Overture as gig closer? Or is that your perfect encore scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareeh Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Going to cause mass controversy by saying Knights of Cydonia should only be at the start or definite end of a gig, if Uprising is in the setlist I believe the only place for it is at the start, therefore Knights is the last song. Which should make the positioning of Knights and Uprising interesting if Matt continues to do the 'first song is from the latest album' I know he did Plug-In first a few times in Europe but that was only once or twice and would have been pants, and hearing Uprising anywhere else in the setlist wouldn't have gone either SS should be last if KoC is first in the setlist, but otherwise nah, recently he hasn't done the whole 'mass destruction' at the end of Stockholm so I don't see the point in it ending a gig unless he does it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 I actually think Knights closing the main set wouldn't be too bad, as long as they don't do the MWAH since it's more suited for the epic finale buildup. Uprising I do think needs to be some kind of opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WutDaFucksy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 MWAH just needs to leave tbh, it's had its time, it isn't exciting and just drags out...just get on with the song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God I'm not the only person who thinks this. I also think Charlie Chaplin's "Greatest speech ever made" (or maybe a shortened version) would be great as an intro.

Gareeh Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 MWAH is terrible. Felt nauseated listening to it online/TV then seeing it at Wembley was bollocks too. Sorry Chris, drop the harmonica Chief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I think MWAH should be dropped, since it's the only thing they've done with Knights the whole tour (at least BH&R had Space Dementia and Close Encounters) but I don't hate it.
