Paperback Writer posted:the Psycho setlists were so good too. Got lucky at the Mayan, three of us held up signs for Hyper Music and he decided to play it spur of the moment. Toss in Assassin+AP+Bliss+NB with piano+Stockholm (it's a rarity now it seems lol) and I walked out pretty happy. Third best Muse gig I've seen, and it happened in 2015. I really hope that they're playing it safe for the first show of the tour. Can't blame them if that's why considering how much went into this. Hedrigall posted:There's a bit of anger in the Muse fan communities because Matt didn't play guitar on Uprising or Dead Inside last night, he only sang. Friend just messaged me about Mexico, Matt started playing Uprising about half way through. Trust her over some periscope streams and YouTube videos from odd angles since she was there on the barrier. Still, the fact that Madness gets guitar but Dead Inside doesn't is a loving crime.

On the one hand, missing this tour isn't so bad since Drones is a poo poo album and that setlist is largely garbage. On the other hand, Apocalypse Please.

I don't know, I look at that setlist and realize I would only really want to see five songs out of 21. At some point Muse just developed into a direction that's not to my liking.

AlexF posted:The invisible fourth guy is playing guitar when Matt decides to go full Mercury. They should either make Morgan a full fourth band member, and give him equal prominence on stage, in media, etc, or Matt should loving play the instruments he used to and they can use a laptop for the beep boop parts. Morgan now does a lot of the piano Matt used to, as well as taking over more and more of the guitar duties. Edit: This is like a few years ago when Rivers Cuomo decided he wanted to be the "front man" of Weezer instead of the lead guitarist, so he stopped playing instruments and the drummer became lead guitar while Rivers just strutted on stage holding a microphone. On the newest album they actually wrote a song about what a stupid decision it was, and how they were going back to how things used to be.

He pulled a guitar out halfway through Uprising and Dead Inside, looks like he jumps in from the solo forward (so he can outro riff as well). The fan community always, always loses their poo poo at the first show of a new tour but by the end of it after everyone has gone to a show the tone will change. Not defending Muse for the short sets or putting Morgan in a hole. The drones they hyped up are massively underwhelming too. I'm really not a fan of the setlist at all, SS going the way of New Born is a crime especially with UD and all the backing tracks filling up time.

There is no excuse to play Drones once, let alone twice. Same goes for Isolated System. There is too much filler. I'm just trying not to think about it at this point because it's shaping up to be an enormous waste of money. Ugh. I wouldn't have bought tickets if they hadn't been playing SS and CE at virtually every show for the past few months.

Second night was more of the same, except they played Bliss, Eurasia and Resistance, and left out Plug In Baby, Hysteria and Apocalypse Please. That gives you an idea of what the song rotations will be like. I love Bliss, but missing out on Hysteria and Apocalypse Please would be a nightmare.

I would rather they revolve between: - Plug In Baby/TIRO - Madness/Undisclosed Desires - Isolated System/Unsustainable - Resistance/Starlight - Revolt/Defector - New Born/SS (for old times' sake) Then throw in a b-side revolution every so often. Oh, and revolve Globalist+Drones with Aftermath+Citizen for that 13 minute slot (and get rid of Drones at the start of the show, ffs!)

Yeah, I don't like that either. If you need a permanent slot on stage for the music you write and perform and always have the same person doing that job (s)he should be a bigger part of the band. Same thing with Mike Vennart & Biffy Clyro. At least he now isn't pushed aside as he was at the beginning, but it's still strange how this kind of thing is treated. If you don't (have the ability to) take part in the creative process it's fine that you don't get the same treatment as anyone else. But to be put in the dark like Morgan (even I didn't now his name and I consider myself a big Muse fan. Only knew that it's the same person on stage) is really not cool.

It took Jason White thirteen years until he was made an official member of Green Day.

I'm really surprised SLC doesnt have a tour date yet since they tend to sell out the venue every time they come through town. But after seeing these initial setlists, I would be super disappointed at a show with that list. Drones twice and all the rest, play a good real set with 25+ songs. I saw The Cure and Muse at ACL a few years ago, Muse is always awesome but The Cure was stunning. I can't believe how great of a show they played for their age, I plan on catching them again on this next tour because it was so fun.

I bought them from Stub Hub for a little more than face value. They are quite decent seats. I'll continue to follow the set list since They aren't coming to my side of the country for a couple months.

3rd show of the tour, same as before except: They put Bliss again in the Bliss/PIB slot, Citizen Erased in the Hysteria/Resistance slot, and Feeling Good in the Apocalypse Please/USoE slot. So yeah, some lucky people will get Citizen Erased and The Globalist in the same show!

I was at ACL both weekends, saw The Cure both and they blew Muse away, 25 songs at festivals and 37-41 at their own shows? loving incredible. Also, my friends ran into Matt Bellamy down in Mexico, this is the only US leg. There won't be any more dates.

I hope this isn't true. The 2nd Law tour didn't have any Atlanta dates for months and months, then a few weeks prior to the NCAA Final Four basketball tournament Muse were announced as the headliners for the free March Madness concert. During the concert, Matt said "See you in September." Then no word on anything until August when they announced a formal date for the arena show. Anyway, still hoping they'll come to Denver. We passed up the opportunity to go to Phoenix for the show this Saturday. Some Like it Scott fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Dec 9, 2015 |

In getting ready for tonight's concert I have been listening to all the Muse stuff newest to oldest and I gotta say that Save Me is probably the best song on 2nd Law and probably one of their best song in general.

To me that's crazy, since the only songs I enjoy from the 2nd law are Panic Station and Survival. Panic Station dares to be a really dumb funk rock pastiche and I dunno it works for me, and survival has some of my favorite guitar playing from matt. It's not his best, but it's some of the most fun. 2nd Law was so disappointing in general though, I was surprised they bounced back at all with Drones. I was pretty ready to write them off and move on. Drones isn't a perfect album by any stretch and is still worse than any 'classic' muse, but i'm glad they can still make good music even if it seems like they sabotage themselves quite a bit.

I went to the show last night. It was my third time seeing Muse and I got to say, despite it being an excellent spectacle with amazing visuals and some tight work with the music and sound, it was probably not my favourite time seeing Muse, and most of that comes down to the set list. For one thing, they played 9 out of the 12 songs from Drones, including playing Drones twice. I understand a band wants to promote their new stuff but when 4 out of the first five songs are from the new album, and of the songs that they played is 10 minutes long, and, well to put it kindly the new songs kind of suck, then it just becomes a bit meh. I know a lot of people probably like Muse for the newer stuff, and songs like Resistance and Madness got huge applauses from the crowd, but they only played one song from Origin of Symmetry (Bliss) and one song from Absolution (Our Time is Running Out) and the whole thing just comes across wildly uneven. I understand that they can't play all the older stuff, but they could have easily cut away 3 or so songs from Drones to make way for Hysteria, Stockholm Syndrome, New Born, Plug in Babe, Apocalypse Please or anything else like that. Again, I know the whole stage show pretty much revolves around the new stuff, but the new stuff is pretty meh. Anyway, here are some pics I took of the night.

What show got SS, Hysteria, PIB, and CE? I don't think that has happened on this tour. Edit: that is not a set list from this arena tour. It is out of order and doesn't have Globalist or Revolt, which seem like staples of the set list. I bought tickets because they were playing many shows with set lists like the one above, but when the tour started the set list completely went to poo poo. the truth fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Dec 11, 2015 |

It helps that they didn't play any of the crap, just the first five songs. Also at one point some dude invaded the stage and started breakdancing for a good 30 seconds before he got dragged off by security, that was pretty funny.
