DifferentPerson Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'm not a big fan of USoE period. It's the worst part of The Resistance. Worse than Guiding Light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malton Seadog Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Not done one of these before, so I'm going to be brave and list a few: 1. Time is Running Out bores the backside off me. If I really needed a pee at a concert, I would be more likely to go for one during this than Madness. 2. I don't like their song reveals. When they do the pre-CE or Apocalypse Please drum thing, it spoils all the build up of the opening notes of the songs. Likewise with Matt messing about before Plug In Baby. You kinda know what's coming, and that spoils it for me. 3. I think Matt is losing his voice slowly, and in 5-6 years won't be able to get many of his falsetto notes. 4. I think Morgan should be allowed to 'take a bow' (pun intended) at the end of gigs. He's an integral part of the setup now. Not saying he should become a 4th member, but I feel sorry for the guy sometimes. Gets no praise or credit. 5. The last four tracks of OoS are average at best. 6. Hoodoo might be my favourite track on BH+R. 7. I'm bored of the Man With Harmonica + Knights ending to gigs. Keep it, by all means, but like point 2 above, we know what's coming, and it gets old. 8. I don't like Uprising. 9. Panic Station is my favourite T2L song. 10. Mercy might be my favourite Drones song. Just. I think it looks incredible live.

Jobby Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'd rather hear UD live again more than Knights, TIRO, PIB, Uprising and most other staples. and maybe ce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Gotta agree that songs like TiRO, Starlight and sadly even Hysteria do sound like the band's just on "autopilot" playing them - think they've probably realised it with Hysteria seeing as it's been dropped a lot the last couple years but would like to see them start dropping at least one of Starlight or TiRO at times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Tbh I think Muse have sounded quite dull no matter what the song. Their live vids are sleeping pills. But it might be totally different live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Worse than Guiding Light? USoE is easily in my bottom 10, and I actually rather enjoy Guiding Light. The solo's actually pretty damn good, too. People get too wound up about the lovey songs to be objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Heat Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 If Matt didn't butcher it the way he does, Apocalypse Please could be a great closer, or at least main set closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryoma-kun Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 3. I think Matt is losing his voice slowly, and in 5-6 years won't be able to get many of his falsetto notes. Except that it happened quite fast and sudden after last tour. Is it possible he might've developed nodules on his vocal chords as an effect of his laryngitis? Especially the hoarseness he gets on high falsetto notes is a common symptom of this. Also the way he tires out really quickly during the gig.

serpentsatellite Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 He's as much as admitted to being out of shape and out of breath, I would still just assume he hasn't done anything to rectify that, and since he is getting older, it's a much bigger problem.

heyjackk Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 But the hoarseness is weird. He has never sounded that bad on the falsettos before. still comes with being out of shape, not getting his breathing techniques right and pulling in enough air means he has to force it a bit more which results in the hoarse tones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 It sounds forced, indeed, and he's also coming in late at the start of lines due to being out of breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryse Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Worse than Guiding Light? Yes, Guiding Light is honestly not that bad. I'd rather hear UD live again more than Knights, TIRO, PIB, Uprising and most other staples. and maybe ce I dont think it translates well live. On the album, it's fun and full but it lacks live. I'd rather have MK Ultra or even US back in the sets instead of UD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyP117 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Matt doesn't sound right at all, it's especially evident on those Handler falsettos and in more recent performances of Mercy (though I guess that's a tough one for him anyway)...it's sad to see him struggle when he was so great last tour. They should really be playing longer sets on the upcoming tour but I feel that even if they do it'll result in him being even more knackered. Is there anything you can do to combat things like vocal nodules? Seems like more than just him being out of 'tour' shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Would they not just likely put off the tour a bit if Matt had something physically wrong with him like that? Seems like bad business to go out there and wreck yourself if it's more than just being out of breath and out of shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryse Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Drink more wine. (Didnt he say he does that before shows anyways?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemsy Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 It's not nodules; they usually make your voice sound scratchy and gravelly. Definitely sounds like vocal fatigue/reflux issues though (speculating from personal experience, I ain't no doc) Personally on a low-acid diet (so no to wine, or any alcohol really), loads of vocal excercises, relaxation techniques and general cardio exercise for my shithouse voice well... when not distracted by goddamn festivals, life events and... rum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had nodules his voice would be unpredictable, most likely cracking at weird places etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
