HenryW7 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 TaB was a good closer, very climatic! I would say closers best to worst: 1. Stockholm Syndrome + riffs 2. Showbiz + ashamed outro 3. Bliss (ext.) 4. Take a Bow 5. Knights of Cydonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-museing Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 KOC is a bad closer? It's one of the best closer I've ever seen at any gig. ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW7 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 KOC is a bad closer? It's one of the best closer I've ever seen at any gig. ever. well I've only seen it once at Teingmouth and the power built up by SS and PiB was huge to open the encore. Then the beginning of knights is good and the war chant into the riff is incredible, but after that, it becomes boring and kinda stops. Before finishing on a single note and the band walk off. SS, TaB, Showbiz all continue to grow and don't peak to early.... Knights is a solid opener. But I still think it would close the main set very well. Because you are left wanting more...

a-museing Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hmm both times I've seen it, it didn't finsih on a single note. There was riffs, drum solos, laps around the stage in an Irish flag. Maybe you just got a boring version of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiko Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Knights with the extended outro is my favourite closer. Not that they've done it in a while. If Muse were really likely to mix up their set lists, I wouldn't mind if they dropped Stockholm, Hysteria, New Born or such. I wouldn't mind going to 2 different Muse gigs and feeling they were equally good, but completely different from one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I agree with a-museing. It is an amazing closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi. Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 SS and US were more energetic than KOC when I saw them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escapist Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 The guys have said it themselves- KoC creates (and also takes) a huge amount of energy when played. Which is a good thing for an opener or a closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you just got a boring version of it? I haven't seen any others close but when I saw KOC close the gig it just killed everyone Then when Muse went off I was in a state of total shock. It's just one of those songs. And I love that it has it's fist-pumping moments, it's moments to mosh and some to regain your composure and just sing along. It's an amazing closer imo. And the anticipation for Knights is massive as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riveon Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) but it is still far better at closing than Knights of Cydonia, it has a scream!! And? Edited July 20, 2010 by Riveon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearAndPanic Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Cave is probably one of the best on Showbiz. Piano Cave / Jazz Cave is a highlight on any setlist it's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HenryW7 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Piano Cave / Jazz Cave is a highlight on any setlist it's on. It was novelty at teignmouth, but the 2nd least exciting track. (baring in mind TR was unreleased) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomesickSubterranean Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 -Uprising is insanely boring live, mainly because they can't recreate easily as it was an overproduced recording (at least the chorus). -Muse would do a great cover of the Pokemon theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurellama Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Knights is a damn good closer. You couldn't have it anywhere else (other than opening) because it would completely fuck up the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
