Ollie of Symmetry Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Who else is missing Blackout not being played live anymore it's a masterpeice of a song... i wish they would on occasion drop songs like Hysteria, Plug In Baby etc.. which are gettin rather boring to hear live over and over again..so that we can hear some of the old gems again... I suppose they aint gonna wanna drop any of ther big songs as most people will just go and see one of their shows on tour and will want to hear all of their hits...but it won't do any harm hoping! So ye here's to Blackout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mari Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I love playing this on piano. Lovely chords, especially the accidentals. It kind of has a Soldier's Poem vibe (or would it be the other way around? It would, but who cares). Not as amazing as some other songs, but a great song nonetheless.

Yeeeaaa but its the emotion of the song which makes it one of Muse's finest...much like Invincible....even tho many peeps manage to dislike that song somehow...but ye lets not get into that...this threads for the almighty Blackout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirajp Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Blackout is their best slow song. And it needs to come back into the setlists, it's too beautiful to miss out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(cover coming soon, cause you know i love my slow songs. lol) Sounds like a cool set-up, like you could never get bored. Just go from one to the other. It is a really fun song to play, isn't it? I also like playing Endlessly and Apocalypse Please (I downloaded some of the Absolution tabs... ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishmaster Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 I performed Blackout live at a GCSE Music showcase, I would send people the file but nerves got the better of me and it's a bit rubbish! I did it great in the rehearsal, my teacher said it was the best performance When Muse opened their encore (if that's the right way to put it) with Blackout, it was absolutely spot on. They said they'd mess about with their sets, so Blackout may make a re-appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadameDajy Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 This song inspired me to write a story once, actually, back when I first heard it. It's a beautiful song, and I oddly love how bittersweet it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mari Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 "Don't kid yourself And don't fool yourself This love's too good to last And I'm too old to dream... Don't grow up to fast... And don't embrace the past This life's too good to last And I'm too young to care... Don't kid yourself, And don't fool your self... This life could be the last, And we're too young to see..." From memory. Same reason I like Soldier's Poem. Simple, intense lyrics. (I'm repeating myself, ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
