It'll be the third time I've seen Muse this year
Damn straight, cannot wait!politik said:Tonight.
Hahah, yeh me either.veloc1ty said:The Checks weren't exceptionally bad, at least the lead singer was mildly interesting to watch to make up for the fact I couldn't understand a single word he said. XD
Rofl...you must've missed an entire decade...you know the 80s :|Few bands have married electronic sounds with slamming guitar riffs as well as Muse have. I must say that while most of me was waiting to hear Stockholm Syndrome and Hysteria, there was a longing to hear some of the stuff from Origin of Symmetry also. And did they deliver. I have probably never screamed as loud as I did when Plug In Baby was belted out by the guys.
Haha oh dear, playing piano = classical? Rofl. Did you hear that? Thats the sound of a million classical composers baying for your blood as you've just compared them to Coldplay.There is probably a hint of classic-bias on my part here that you may have noticed. As a long-time Coldplay fan, my first foray into Muse was with Starlight - their most listened to track on last.fm; most likely due to its easy-listening piano riff and coldplay-esque melody.
You mean he used distortion in some other way :O *gasp shock horror* nowai. Seriously though, there are far more skilled, more intuitive, and altogether better/crazier people who've manipulated sounds/guitar/ambience.The Guitar work of Matt Bellamy deserves mention here. I have experienced expert guitar work in the past, but nothing compared to last night. I have seen Johnny Buckland belt out a mesmerising denouement to Coldplay's gig at the same venue a year earlier in Fix You, but even that does not compare. Perhaps it's the blood in Matt's genes - being the famous son of a classic rockstar certainly helps. Nonetheless, Bellamy has set the bar quite high in terms of guitar-i-ness for me. Have you ever seen a guitarist control something as meaningless as feedback before as he did last night? Only he can make such out-of-worldly sounds and riffs sound beautiful.
Well there's one example, because Lou Reed could kick Bellamy's ass in a fight.politik said:Oh and in terms of controlling feedback better, did you mean Lou Reed?
HAHAHAHAHA.

'OMG SLASH WAZ THE BES GUITARIST EVAR'
Last time I checked fagsticks, I wasn't alive to ever witness better guitarists like Satriani, so comparing Bellamy to anyone I havn't seen live is erroneous.
You seem to have missed the point here, you did not only elevate him to some sort of guitar virtuoso but also compared him to everyone else.I have experienced expert guitar work in the past, but nothing compared to last night. I have seen Johnny Buckland belt out a mesmerising denouement to Coldplay's gig at the same venue a year earlier in Fix You, but even that does not compare.

Rofl, ahh see there's where I got confused, the words 'classic' and Muse shouldn't really be used together, they're nowhere near that level to even assume that mantle. Maybe use 'older' albums instead next time? 2003 wasn't that long ago champ.Also, 'classic' meant Muse's older albums. Fail.
Are you saying you never knew he played piano?....He plays it at pretty much every major gig they've done for the past few years :| I mean its pretty present in their earlier albums ?His manipulation of the Piano is commendable also. I had never heard of the piano he uses, but last night made sure i'd never forget. Perhaps it was because of the full stage show, but he doesn't pull that beauty of an instrument out often does he?
Oh we just don't like Alan and think he's a cockmonkey thats allAznpsycho said:Guys guys don't shit up the thread with arguments over which guitarist is better.
Lets focus on how awesome otherwise average songs are live. Invincible is not that impressive album-wise, but holy fuck did the giant projector screens completely make that song inspirational as hell.
Also, anyone know where to get some pictures of the show? I left my camera at home *facepalm*, and I want to somehow relive the giant dancing robot in Supermassive Black Hole.
Also, the seated crowd around where I was (final row, slightly off centre) was pretty good. The dude on my left was a cold fish though. I was that obnoxious douche bashing the underside of the walkway/scaffold with my hands, which suited the build-up of Plug In Baby perfectly.
