•am• Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Here's to hoping they might actually play something else from the top 5 than just I Belong To You, Citizen Erased and Bliss as the tour progresses! Hopefully Showbiz will be the MK Ultra of this tour. their "usuals" really shouldn't have been on the poll. stupid putting KoC and Uprising, and Starlight... etc on there. If they would have taken those out, we might have had a better margin of victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-duck Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 their "usuals" really shouldn't have been on the poll. stupid putting KoC and Uprising, and Starlight... etc on there. If they would have taken those out, we might have had a better margin of victory I agree... I think they should only have included songs that they don't normally play. If it were me, I would have put up a skeleton setlist, similar to what was in the tour program, and said "Here's the songs we usually play, what other songs would you like to hear from us?" and then given people a reduced list.

halo eighteen Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I dont see any rare songs from the setlist. which ones of these 21 songs won the setlist polls? None. In fact they only played two songs from the top 10 at this show.. Plug in Baby (#8) and Knights of Cydonia (#10). Totes cop out. But fwiw, IBTY was #12 and Unintended was #15 (and Take a Bow was #48) and those actually got played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat_714 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hey, at least they got Take a Bow. I've always wanted to see that live... Of course, I'll probably never see them live again... le sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuutar Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Looks pretty nice setlist:happy: And they played TAB:). Quite many have been complained because it hasn't been played. They should be happy now:p. UFO and Matt's suit:D:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be happy now:p. nah, they'll just complain about something else I've been waiting for them to play it, personally. Lyrically it fits in with the Resistance pretty well, I was surprised they didn't decide to bring it back earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screwdriver Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Looks like the stage was awesome, but for everything else, they just seem to be trying too hard to be impressive. A UFO and Matt going out on a platform is nothing anybody is going to care about, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulilku Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 None. In fact they only played two songs from the top 10 at this show.. they've deceived us... so what is the polls for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Better than the BH&R red suit. That was just WHAT?!?! That was amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple C Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 so what is the polls for? Maybe they're pretending we're the Thought Police, and we're trying to make them play what we want and only what we want ... and they devised the polls simply so they could defy us as part of the resistance theme.:LOL: Seriously, I'm guessing they'll stick to the poll thing a little better in future shows ... it's unfortunate that it didn't happen in the first show of the stadium tour, but I highly doubt it was any sort of intentional snub.

Lih Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 So they just played the arena set with all the rotated songs + IBTY, NSC, Unintended and TaB well done Muse, completely ignoring the setlist polls and everything Take a Bow counts as a rarity I guess - I'm glad to see that back but apart from that it's very meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 God, I haven't posted on this forum in SO LONG. A few years, in fact. But I've been lurking about in this thread throughout the chaos of last night and decided I should post a little again. Basically, as far as last night goes, so much as I can judge from being sat behind a laptop... Really quite irritating in some ways, mindblowing in others. Feeling Good STILL getting a place in setlists, despite being at almost every gig for four years, while something like Cave gets dropped after about 20 gigs in terms of piano songs, while RBS gets brought back for two or three plays and gone. But that's not changing, so I'm giving up complaining. But I am disappointed that the set consists of only two other piano based tracks, considering just how many of them they've got these days. Sunburn, Space Dementia, Apocalypse Please, Endlessly, Ruled By Secrecy, Hoodoo, Exogenesis II or III? *shrug* And of course, the setlist polls. I don't buy any of that "malfunction" bollocks that the hardcore 'Muse-can-do-no-wrong' fans are spurting out. Fact is, they've cocked up. I'm not judging them for the tour for it, but for that gig, they've done just that. They've played in the last two gigs, the two songs that came top in this gigs poll, so there's no excuse for neither, or any of the other three, getting played. Let's just hope things pick up from hereon, but that'd be even more sickening for the Swiss fans if they were screwed of a rare track or two and everyone else got one. Onto the positives! Stage looks incredible.. UFO looks tacky as fuck, but I laughed at it in the same way I laughed at USoE the first time I heard it. It's so hilarious, it's amazing. Wouldn't change it for a thing. Take A Bow, I've said I've wanted it back for ages, so well happy to see that back in. Unintended, I love the song, was beautiful in Sheffield. Can't say it's one I'd want to put in there but wouldn't say no to it either. I Belong To You, haven't heard it before so happy to see that in there too. Don't expect we'll see much change come the weekend since it's moar festivals, (although that seems to be when they're actually giving people extra these days..) but I hope even if the setlist polls aren't going to be used, we at least get one or two rotations. I've paid for three of these bloody things and I've said all along, no matter what songs are played, the one thing that'll piss me off is the EXACT same set 3x. But with Muse, I guess I always knew that was a possibility. Only time shall tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate E. Clare Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 on the plus side, they did do a 21 song set (not counting jams) and hopefully theyll stick with this throught the tour also new stage is , looks much better at night though. moving platform thing is cool but the UFO is a bit...shit tbh the ignoring of setlist polls/lack of bliss, CE and MK Ultra was a bit (well, alot) fail, but theyve been good with that on the other 2 gigs so far, so im hoping thall pick up later on in the tour. and matt's fashion sense seems to be decresing by the minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kagran Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Relax... it's not like those 35'000 people took part in a democratic vote and absolutely wanted to hear CE and Bliss. The memory will be like "it was the best Muse concert in Switzerland ever". I guess only some of the true fans found that poll at all. Swiss media never mentioned the poll and I guess the majority of the audience didn't know about it or cared at all about CE and Bliss. There were many cheers and jumping for tracks from the Resistance album while during the last (old) songs it was more like oh what another one that's nice but I was ready to leave need to catch a train... those were comments I heard when leaving the stadium. Maybe it's different in other countries and in general I like the idea of a more interactive setlist so bands should really listen to it then.

Clunge Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 on the plus side, they did do a 21 song set (not counting jams) and hopefully theyll stick with this throught the tour That's one song shorter than what they did last time they headlined a stadium. The setlist features NO songs that weren't played at their last headlining stadium show with the exception of new songs. On top of this, they totally ignored our input in the setlists. Not. Good. Enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
