sprocketeer Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I've seen both Aerosmith (back when it was the Pond) and Coldplay at Honda Center. Aerosmith's acoustics were really crappy, while Coldplay's were decent but not stellar. So yeah, between this and Staples Center, pick your poison.

kbeckyj Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 The few shows I've seen at the Honda Center have sounded pretty good. They seem to have amazing sound people so that should help with the acoustics...right? haha;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShrinkingBliss Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 It's not like I went to Las Vegas last week for lack of CA shows, hahaha. Well, Anaheim sure sounds tempting... It's about 30 minutes away for me... It's not until September... Argh... I have to think about this, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemonarc Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Oh that's right I saw COldplay too!! The acoustics weren't bad but then again they don't have the same sound as Muse. Only been to Staples once for a pop concert with ym cousin and the echo was horrible but then maybe that'll make the guitair wailing the more astounnding.. ? such little time to decide!

rock_and_rolla Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I agree with the acoustics thing. I was hoping they would choose The Home Depot Center as the venue for one of the gigs. I know it's in the middle of nowhere and next to the ghetto, but I went to the Coldplay concert there last year and the acoustics were amazing. Probably the best I've heard at a live show. Also glad to see they made it up to those of us who couldn't afford the $300 to see them at Coachella by scheduling two shows in the LA/OC area. Can't wait to go to both!

Home Depot Center is good too.. that's where they usualy have Inland Invasion. Hmm.. Hollywood Bowl and Irvine Meadows would have also been good locations... acoustings are amazing there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosmith's acoustics were really crappy, while Coldplay's were decent but not stellar. So yeah, between this and Staples Center, pick your poison. Staples Center hosts more concerts than the Honda Center, so I would expect the sound to be better. And generally speaking, the acoustics definitely aren't that great at the Honda Center. What I can remember from sitting in the back during the last Coldplay concert, the good sounds coming from the big speakers at the stage were mixed with this uber-fuzzy sound from the ceiling speakers. Still tolerable, but that could have been easily fixed. Soundcheck at this venue should be done a little more thoroughly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altrocker1807 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 how far is the honda center to staple center? Depends on how good/bad traffic is, but usually takes an hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssiu Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 how far is the honda center to staple center? With no traffic, you can make it in under an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglegrly Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I'm going to both for sure - presale is at the exact same time, that will require coordination i guess. yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette316 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Depends on how good/bad traffic is, but usually takes an hour or so. if i knew a few more weeks, i could get the presale tickets to both...darn it, i can start saving now and maybe hope i can get tickets through ebay, stubhub but i hate doing that buy tickets now for the regular price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock_and_rolla Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I may have missed this in prior posts, but who is the opening act? Or has it not been announced? Silversun was an awesome opening act so I'm crossing my fingers for someone of the same caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plugmein Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 melon, I can totally relate bc I'm in the same situation; don't have any real life Musers and gotta find somebody as a concert buddy. ideally I would go to all 3 CA gigs but it would be hard to find somebody who would do that with me. How am I going to manage 3 presales when tickets sell out in 1 minute?? need to find somebody to help me buy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemonarc Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 So the Muse-fan presale is the 21st right? Livenation has their presale on the 23rd... so maybe if we can't get it on the 21st we have a shot on the 23rd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Only Want You Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 As usual I'm going to miss the presale because of work. I really just want to go to this gig. But my friends want to go to the Staples Center one. Tough call for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
