Matt's Jawbone Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Also, on the topic of Micro Cuts, the version on HAARP is seriously fucking boring. It sounds too... polished and clean, the rough and dirty sound it had on Hullaballoo made it extremely powerful. Also exactly why they don't play it anymore and why it was a dumb idea for Muse to pander to the fan campaign was well on display in the 2013 performances. It was VERY boring.

Agree on your first point but not on the second. There was one performance (Japan, maybe? or North America?) that was freakin awesome, so much better than what I expected. But it's true that bringing a song just because of fan requests doesn't mean the result is good. They really must want to play it themselves otherwise we'll just have a half-arsed performance of what used to be a great song once upon a time.

I dunno what was dumber, fans starting a campaign or Muse listening to said campaign. Dead Star wasn't bad sounding but it sounded much better in 08.

mjartrod Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I don't think there's anything wrong with campaigns, I just think that the band needs to be into it as well in order for it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 How will we know if it'll sound half-arsed before they've played it? Not that I agree. All of the songs they've brought back have sounded great, and the guitar in Micro Cuts has been amazingly powerful. And Dead Star... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Imo Micro Cuts was great vocally too, both at Montreal and Zepp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tour (the T2L era) they've all sounded fab but I remember Microcuts sounding very poor in the TR tour, CE was also pretty underwhelming plenty of times (not at Wembley thank god)... what else did they bring in the TR tour? I really remember wishing they wouldn't bring old songs and then ruin them Imo Micro Cuts was great vocally too, both at Montreal and Zepp. Ah, Montreal, that's it.
