Muse

[carligula]

Let's try to keep this as positive as possible...

[stelles75]

Probably not splitting Muse. I missed them in '07 for Interpol. Not likely to miss them this year.

[cosmo]

Depending on the schedule, I will probably see Muse. The only real conflict would be if they play opposite Foo Fighters. Then I will skip Muse.

[ChefBigBird]

Ill only see Muse if they play at the same time as Foo Fighters.

[Driftwood]

Plz no Muse vs Coldplay.

[carligula]

Driftwood doesn't care about American acts.

[danzip53]

The only 2 bands I have to see this year are Muse and Foo Fighters...if they play at the same time I don't have the slightest clue who to choose because I refuse to split sets.

[concertgoer]

Same here unless The Foos book a fall show in Orlando or Tampa

[arbee]

Nobody comes to Florida.

[Beefy Toe]

Muse is the only top-liner that Im really pumped to see. Its all about the under-cards this year.

[concertgoer]

Nobody comes to Florida.

The Foos love Florida Arbee;)

[johnd12751]

praying for muse vs em

[crowbi_wan]

Muse is the only top-liner that Im really pumped to see. Its all about the under-cards this year.

Was thinking the same thing. I wouldn't mind seeing a few of the other headliners, but am not worried about any possible conflicts. Muse + the fantastic under card make Lolla a winner in my eyes. Not looking forward to under card conflicts, which there a bound to be.

[Krentistthedentist]

The Foos love Florida Arbee;)

That's because their fans are rednecks.

[concertgoer]

Fuck off Bieber

my favorite muse song

[b lab]

Muse is the band I'd most love to see play an aftershow. I've seen them twice in support of this record. I've never seen Foos or Eminem and I'm betting Coldplay will be debuting new stuff...might be a surprising skip for this band.

[arbee]

Ask Agenthal to "have a chat" with them. She might be able to convince them to do an aftershow.

[Krentistthedentist]

Ask Agenthal to "http://movieimage1.tripod.com/pulpfiction/pulp15.jpg" with them. She might be able to convince them to do an aftershow.

but how nuts would it have been to be at Wembley for that? just a complete blow out, no holds barred SHOW. they spared no expense in putting on that. just amazing.

wow. the way he played the first part of the opening guitar solo is sick. with the feedback? damn. I've heard Bellamy say some douchey things but man can the guy play guitar.

AND THEY HAVE BALLONS LIKE ARCADE FIRE!!! EXCEPT THEY'RE EYEBALLS!!!

[Thisismyname]

Pre-shows (Thursday night).

And one headliner has been scheduled for a pre-show each year since 2007.

[moreindiethanu]

just unreal excited for muse. been waiting forever to see them.

[Raidr88]

The Plug in Baby video was pretty nice. One of my favorites when I saw them live.

This is the video that originally made me want to see Muse live. People just seem to go nuts during this song. I do realize that Wembley is a lot different from any site in the States, but still....

Muse or Foo Fighters preshow plz

Agenthal is working on it.

[Driftwood]

Map of the Problematique ftw.

[concertgoer]

This thread is making me sad :(

[Driftwood]

Because you'll miss them?

I could see Muse playing Aragon before Lolla.

[concertgoer]

Because you'll miss them?

I could see Muse playing Aragon before Lolla.

Yes and that would be awesome
For some reason I still think a Foo's preshow is more likely though since they have nothing else booked all weekend besides Lolla

[Driftwood]

Oh yeah I forgot Muse are playing Kanrocksas Sat and most of us are thinking they play Sun. Yeah probably cuts down on their aftershow chances.

[Joshoeuh]

Was just listening to the Showbiz album on the way home. Matt Bellamy must have had a heavy amount of Jeff Buckley in his rotation when he wrote "Falling Down"...

I hope I get to see their Lollapalooza set... If they're up against MMJ, Coldplay, Eminem, or Deadmau5 I should get to... Up against Foo Fighters, and it's not happening.

[nikolajz1]

Muse aftershow or Thursday pre-show would be amazing. To see Muse at the Aragon would be amazing.

[Krentistthedentist]

It would be at the congress or the vic.

[BearDownBoilerUp]

I saw Muse at the Aragon 5 years ago. It was amazing.

No way they play the Vic.

[concertgoer]

Soundgarden did last year

[BearDownBoilerUp]

Yeah but Muse would have a to do a whole lot of "stripping down" to do a Vic show. I don't really see that happening. They crossed a line with their last album/tour that's kind of hard to step back from.

[concertgoer]

But it's a preshow so I don't think they would have a problem "stripping down" their show
Hell Radiohead was going to do a preshow in 2008,, but then Thom got sick and I am sure that their stage show would have been paired down compared to what they did in Grant Park.

[Caseysitsallgood]

Muse aftershow or Thursday pre-show would be amazing. To see Muse at the Aragon would be amazing.

I would be pumped if this happened. what have tickets run for the headliner pre-show the last couple years?

[stelles75]

Muse is the only headliner I'm confident I'm not missing.

[Driftwood]

[Caseysitsallgood]

Muse is the only headliner I'm confident I'm not missing.

[danzip53]

I like how over 16,000 people have made lineups...and Muse is on almost 7,800 of them...which is about 450 more than the next closest which is Foo Fighters

In recent memory I think Phoenix and Soundgarden have been the only headliners to do this though I may be totally wrong.

[Krentistthedentist]

Went to both shows.
Phoenix was 57 after fees (I'm not kidding)
Soundgarden was 60.
Both were special experiences, though, I guess (Phoenix in a teeny venue + Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix played in sequence, but it's not like they don't play all 10 anyways, so...)
I know both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam were fan club only, with Pearl Jam being the harder "get," I guess, since you could just sign up for free on the spot as opposed to the 10c $20 membership.

Oh, also had a Beastie Boys ticket.
Think that was about $50 flat.

[danzip53]

i like how some of the i'm assuming they'll be subheadliners ie arctic monkeys have more than apc

Apparently nobody either likes or has heard of BAD or Ween

[oasisfan]

i like what i've heard of BAD and plan on watching their set, but i have never heard Ween. I've definitely heard of them, but not heard the actual music

[hugozeledon]

[ferro_man]

Muse will return with a potentially "softer" album next year, the band have revealed. (http://www.nme.com/news/muse/56772)

ugh :(

[WretchedSkye2113]

they've all been saying different things for the past year about the next album.
the fact that dom and chris admit that Matt gays it up and then they make it "heavy" again says a lot about their disconnect at the moment.

[danzip53]

Yeah ever since I heard matt talk about making a "softer" album so they can play smaller venues I've been kinda worried about their next album.

[agenthal]

Muse just played Megalomania in Russia. There is hope.

[danzip53]

yesterday apparently

[agenthal]

REALLY like that hexagon set in agenthal's vid above. when was that used?

I expect we'll get the hexagons. They were originally built for the Europeans fests on the Resistance Tour, like Glastonbury. Towers for arenas, and the pyramid for stadiums. Sucks the U.S. fests didn't get the hexagons, but I'm psyched we might get them this time, they're pretty. :)

[concertgoer]

Agenthal plz find out what day Muse is playing:D

[agenthal]

Based on all evidence, I /really/ think it's Friday. ;) It doesn't make much sense for them to go Indianapolis -> Kansas City -> Chicago, methinks.

[agenthal]

I hate agenthal.

Haha, do you not want Muse vs. Deadmau5 or something?

[Caseysitsallgood]

those are the two headliners I most want to see. I've kind of decided that Muse is the only headliner I need to see, so them conflicting would be bad. not that I'm totally into maufive but I'm really not into coldplay or MMJ that much, and FF & Em, I'm a fan of but wouldn't be disappointed if I didn't see them.

[agenthal]

Yeah, understandable. Muse vs. Mau5 would be the best for me though, as when I saw the Mau5 at Voodoo I was bored out of my mind. Eminem vs. MMJ would suck because I'm not that interested in either.

[Caseysitsallgood]

new show for the maufiver has me somewhat more excited. videos of the cube look cool enough, so was kind of excited to see the pretty lights. I could imagine why someone might be bored though. if you're not into the music, it certainly doesn't help. to me it's just ok. enough to make a it show rather than a "silent film" I suppose...

[danzip53]

I'm really sad that so far they haven't been playing New Born at their russian shows :(

[Caseysitsallgood]

aww that song would be awesome live.

[agenthal]

I'm really sad that so far they haven't been playing New Born at their russian shows :(

I'm not sad to see it go because Matt has been too lazy lately to play the piano intro (he lets Morgan do it), so we call it Unborn, lol. It does have a pretty awesome laser show though.

[danzip53]

Do you think they're gonna be kinda lame like their tour last year and just play the exact same setlist at every show they play this summer?

[agenthal]

I hope not. The recent setlist from Kiev wasn't bad. Megalomania and Citizen Erased! They need to cut Guiding Light and Soldier's Poem though.

I would love for them to bring back Dead Star:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajEltJYx0zA

[danzip53]

I definitely agree with cutting Guiding Light and Soldiers poem...they have so many songs that are so much better...especially Dead Star lol

[hardcoremidgit]

those are the two headliners I most want to see.

yep same here. Muse vs. deadmau5 would really shit on my headliner situation..is there anyway that can be avoided or is that basically a for sure as of right now?

[davisthe2nd]

I'm really looking forward to seeing muse as long as they don't play more than 4 song from that awful new album. My hope is that they are friday cuz I would rather miss deamau5 than pretty lights. Either way Muse is the only headliner that I am set on seeing regardless

[nikolajz1]

The Resistance isn't that bad. I actually don't mind it.

It has a couple good songs...but is mostly no that great

[TonyPicker690]

8 years ago, actually.

8 years ago, actually.

Then again, not sure what your word is worth.

[concertgoer]

So BDBU is only 19?
That makes sense

[BearDownBoilerUp]

What? I'm 22. 8 years is how long I've been a Muse fan, which is longer than rockrdudetim has been out of elementary school, making me right as usual.

You're not really a troll you just say stupid things all the time.

You're not really a troll you just say stupid things all the time.

You obviously don't remember me a couple years back. I can troll hard if I want.

The Resistance isn't that bad... I quite like Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra, and Exogenesis Symphony. Guiding Light and I Belong to You just ruin it completely.

[WretchedSkye2113]

The Resistance isn't that bad... I quite like Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra, and Exogenesis Symphony. Guiding Light and I Belong to You just ruin it completely.

i agree with all of this.
i also really like Undisclosed Desires and I Belong to You, but hate Resistance and USoE.
Uprising is...catchy. but not great.

[concertgoer]

I love MK Ultra, Unnatural Selection, Undisclosed Desires and yes The Resistance
Song is sooo cheesy and I love it

Muse is cheesy in general. i dont mind that.
Resistance is just...uninspired? idk. doesnt work for me.

[concertgoer]

WE MUST RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[agenthal]

After 13 shows on The Resistance Tour, I can say with certitude that I prefer the album live by far. I will keep mocking Guiding Light from the barrier though until they stop playing it, haha. Man, if they bring out something like Megalomania though, I won't even care what other songs they play.

[nikolajz1]

WEEEE WILL BE VICTORIOUS!

[nikolajz1]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uADme5DXbvY&feature=related

But I cant wait for them. :p

[Irving_Red]

I'm with you agenthal. I've seen them three times on this tour, and The Resistance stuff is much better live. The atmosphere during Uprising makes the song like seven times better. Can't wait to see them again, and can't wait to (hopefully) see Megalomania live.

[danzip53]

I wonder if they'll actually play for an 105 minutes or stick to their usual 90 minute set

[concertgoer]

My guess is the usual 90

[LollaDan]

Question: If I camp out for Muse, will I at least be able to hear Crystal Castles or is it too far away?

[nikolajz1]

Not really, unless you are camped out in the middle of the field.

[nikolajz1]

My guess is the usual 90

Dream situation: They play Origins of Symmetry for the first 55 minutes, then the last half is the normal rotation of songs :p Never gonna happen but whatever.

[stelles75]

Question: If I camp out for Muse, will I at least be able to hear Crystal Castles or is it too far away?

You could hear it, but it wouldn't be loud enough to enjoy properly. But unless you absolutely have to be up within the front twenty or so yards of the crowd, it's not very hard to walk up through the crowd towards the front from one of the sides and be relatively close.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Dream situation: They play Origins of Symmetry for the first 55 minutes, then the last half is the normal rotation of songs :p Never gonna happen but whatever.

i mean...it's more likely to happen at this show than pretty much any other time they've played Chicago and/or Lolla.

[nikolajz1]

True. But their last few shows have phased out Origins songs. No more Bliss or New Born :( which are two of my favorite live songs.

http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/muse/2011/sport-palace-kiev-ukraine-7bd3ce08.html

[WretchedSkye2113]

ooooh but they played Citizen Erased.
that makes up for everything.

[concertgoer]

They already said that Reading-Leeds would be the only shows that get the full album
Sorry dudes

[nikolajz1]

Truth I guess. Also, if that set is any indication they will fill the 105 minute time slot with 20 songs.

[nikolajz1]

They already said that Reading-Leeds would be the only shows that get the full album
Sorry dudes

Im not sure if they could pull off Origins in the US anyways. Most people who will be at Lolla will be fans of Resistance and Black Holes.

[stelles75]

Im not sure if they could pull off Origins in the US anyways. Most people who will be at Lolla will be fans of Resistance and Black Holes.

I don't know man... Black Holes had just come out when they played in '07 and they had a hell of a crowd. I think more people than you think are familiar with their earlier stuff. I think if anything, a good chunk of people have become disenchanted with them since their last couple albums.

[nikolajz1]

Yeah the crowd in 07 was great. Also, I wonder is Muse is going to ship over their Reading and Leeds set, which is supposed to be amazing according to NME, or a we gonna get the boring ACL set with just three screens?

[WretchedSkye2113]

They already said that Reading-Leeds would be the only shows that get the full album
Sorry dudes

did they actually say that?
i thought all they did was confirm that R&L would be an Origins show.
no denial of other shows being such.

[nikolajz1]

Also, cg....would you skip Coldplay if Muse's Lolla show was confirmed to be an Origins one? Just wondering.

[Irving_Red]

I would have such an erection if they played all of Origins...

Anyway, I actually really like Black Holes and Revelations (besides Soldier's Poem), but The Resistance is kind of a disappointing album. I won't say it's bad, but... yeah.

[agenthal]

Yeah the crowd in 07 was great. Also, I wonder is Muse is going to ship over their Reading and Leeds set, which is supposed to be amazing according to NME, or a we gonna get the boring ACL set with just three screens?

We won't get the Origins stage, that's special for R&L only, but I figure we'll get the cool hexagons they used in Russia recently.

[agenthal]

ooooh but they played Citizen Erased.
that makes up for everything.

MEGALOMANIA. That's the gold on that setlist. Super rare...

[nikolajz1]

Oh nice. So the Glastonbury set then it looks like.

[concertgoer]

Also, cg....would you skip Coldplay if Muse's Lolla show was confirmed to be an Origins one? Just wondering.
Hmmmmmmm
Not sure. They would be a very tough choice for me

[concertgoer]

did they actually say that?

because i think coldplay might be the mystery metro band.

[stelles75]

Watch the Glastonbury set from last year. I bet it will be very similar.

They also play a lot of neat segues in between songs. During the Glasto set, there was some Zeppelin, AC/DC and some other stuff I can't remember. Also, I didn't realize how good a guitarist Matt Bellamy was until I watched that. He can shred.

[concertgoer]

Probably. Definitely prefer the ACL setlist. Hope they put in a few OoS songs though, but I guess we'll be able to better judge that after they play LA Rising. Would be nice if Megalomania was in there instead of Feeling Good as the piano song, lol. And stick in Citizen Erased, plz.

[danzip53]

I'd be ok with the ACL set...with less Resistance and more OoS

I dont think they are playing any of the OoS songs outside of Bliss,Plug In, Feeling Good, and New Born after Reading and Leeds. Heck we may not even get all of those if Im understanding it correctly.

[nikolajz1]

“It’s probably the last time some of these songs will ever be played live again,” he said. “It was on the second album that things really started happening for the band, and when we focused on the live side of things much more.”

“So it’ll be like coming full circle: we’ve gone off on one a little bit, and now it feels like the right time to pull it back and remind ourselves of what we were doing 10 years ago.”


It makes no sense to me considering that is by far their best album with the best live songs. whatevz.

Maybe it will be Muse performing The Resistance...lol.

[danzip53]

Yeah I still don't fully understand why you would just stop playing songs from one of your best albums just because its 10 years old...oh well

[nikolajz1]

Probably the same reason, whatever reason musicians give that us fans cant understand, that Coldplay plays little from Parachutes now and why Radiohead pretends like The Bends and OK Computer never happened.

[agenthal]

Yeah, but this is before R/L. Therefore, they might place some to practice. It /has/ been awhile. Pretty sure that's why they did Megalomania in Russia. Maybe we'll get Micro Cuts like at ACL 07. :)

[nikolajz1]

oof yeah. I didnt think R+L was later than Lolla. The Russia setlists looks pretty great. Maybe the extra 105 minute set time is so they can play 20 songs.

[danzip53]

I still have a bad feeling theyll probably show up late and leave early and just play 90 minutes like usual

[Irving_Red]

Yeah I'm afraid they'll do that, too. Both times I've seen them that's what happened. And neither times did I get Bliss : P

If you're going to practice some OoS, though, please play Dark Shines and Hyper Music. Preferably instead of Guiding Light and Feeling Good...

[nikolajz1]

If I hear Dark Shines I will be so pleased and not in the least upset that I missed Coldplay.

[concertgoer]

Missing Coldplay would be silly when you have already seen Muse twice

[BlissShine]

[concertgoer]

Heh

[BlissShine]

I agree with you guys about their expected setlist, mostly. When I saw them last year it was a mix of Resistance, Origin singles, Absolution singles, BH&R singles, and 1 rarity (Ruled by Secrecy). But I'm pretty confident it'll be this same list except with Citizen because I'm pretty sure they've played it at almost every festival within the last year. AND I'm really leaning on the before R&L theory that they'll treat us to some practice Oos. All I know is if they play ONE Showbiz song I'd be sooo happy, jealous they did in 07'.

[nikolajz1]

Stop making me feel bad CG! :p

If I can make it to Indy that Wednesday to see Muse, I'll be live at Coldplay.

[Irving_Red]

I know this will never happen, but if they open with Showbiz, I would have a massive hard on. Showbiz into Uprising (instead of We Are the Universe or Exogenesis) would blow my mind.

And for the record, I'll probably see Coldplay at least twice on the tour of this new album : P

Same. I'll catch their United Center show and their show at Coachella :p

[meganvio]

I'm guessing that they'll probably play 3-4 OoS songs. Plug in Baby, CE, maybe Bliss, and hopefully megalomania. I'm kind of upset about them phasing out New Born, but getting Megalomania or Bliss in return would be great.

I'm banking on the theory that they need to practice playing OoS songs in a live setting before R&L, so my hopes (and expectations, black holes and revelaaationsss) are pretty high.

[fitzyfitz1313]

They better not not play New Born, that was imo the best song when I saw them at the UC last March, and is my favorite off of OoS. Also this...PLEASE:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFj7aXfuf8I
even if that video is really old. Really at least 4 songs (preferably New Born, Bliss, Feeling Good and Plug in Baby) off of OoS and ANYTHING off of Showbiz and I will jizz my pants.

[arbee]

knot knot

[qotsa101]

I really wish they would play Thoughts of A Dying Atheist, I feel like that's a forgotten little gem, and would rock hard in this kind of setting. some other cuts from Absolution besides the singles would be nice.

Also agree with everyone about Bliss and Showbiz, hearing some of these would definetely lessen the blow from missing Coldplay, but I suspect the setlist will be similar to what theyve played recently

[NoSuchThing]

I was just rewatching their TV appearances where they refuse to lip sync. So hilarious and makes me love them as a band even more...

ToaDA is definitely one I would love to see, along with "The Small Print" and "Butterflies and Hurricanes" from Absolution. The more Origin of Symmetry the better, but "Showbiz" would definitely be great along with some other oldies like "Cave" and "Filip"

[nikolajz1]

Muse setlist coming tonight from their LA Rising show. Probably what they'll play at Lolla too.

[nikolajz1]

Looks like they are using the honeycombs.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/Traci82/3ogaw.jpg

[concertgoer]

Any milk?
;)

[nikolajz1]

lol.

Those of you seeing them at Lolla should get excited. Apparently they sound checked a ton of OoS songs yesterday.

[nikolajz1]

Tent on fire in the LA GA field during the Muse set. Fuck road flares at Lolla, people need to do this! I'm burning down the beer tent during Coldplay :p

[concertgoer]

I blame the RATM fans

[nikolajz1]

Rage fans are douche bags. Worst crowd in my 4 years of going to Lolla.

[nikolajz1]

Wow Muse's setlist was pretty meh at LA Rising. Made the right choice in seeing Coldplay :/

Exogenesis: Symphony, Part 1: Overture
Uprising
Map of the Problematique
Supermassive Black Hole
Butterflies & Hurricanes
Hysteria
Nishe
United States Of Eurasia
Helsinki Jam
Undisclosed Desires
Resistance
Starlight
Time is Running Out
Stockholm Syndrome
Plug In Baby
----
Knights of Cydonia

They'll probably have 3 more songs at Lolla (Bliss, Feeling Good, and Guiding Light?)

[fowruok]

Yeah, they get 105 minutes at Lolla, compared to 90 minutes tonight.

[concertgoer]

I will have no regrets about skipping them for Coldplay if that is their setlist at Lolla

[nikolajz1]

Yeah, they get 105 minutes at Lolla, compared to 90 minutes tonight.

Or they could be like KoL/ The Strokes etc and just play their usual 90.

[concertgoer]

Which is what I think they will do

[fowruok]

Oh yeah, true. I think they'll do that as well.

Although it's been years since I've seen Muse (Black Holes & Revelations tour, I think?), Coldplay is still the easy choice for me.

[concertgoer]

I have seen Muse three times before and I have never seen Coldplay so my choice was pretty easy

[qotsa101]

damnitfuckdammit. This is so similar to their last show at MSG. If this is their set at Lolla then that is rather dissapointing. They have so many good songs, why dont they switch it up? They can even play album tracks from Absolution if they didnt wanna go all the way back in their ca talogue

[concertgoer]

Well you have three other choices at Lolla

[qotsa101]

thats true. might have to finally give in to the coldplay

[cobrien]

I was planning on not looking at the setlist until after Lolla so as not a ruin any surprise songs.

Curiosity got the better of me, but alas, I found there were no surprise songs.

It's intriguing that they sound checked alot of OoS stuff, but the fact that they didn't play anything interesting tells me they're saving all of the fun stuff for Reading and Leeds and Lolla is just gonna get a late Resistance Tour show.

It's kinda sad that the best live band of all time is incompetent when developing setlists. I'm reconsidering Coldplay once again.

LOL

[nikolajz1]

LOL

x2

[cobrien]

Fair enough.

They're certainly up there.

What other bands compete with live Muse?

No one else is heralded as such as consistently as they are.

[nikolajz1]

Just looking at bands that have played Lolla. Coldplay, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Green Day, Daft Punk, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, MMJ, and probably a whole bunch of other bands are just as heralded for their live shows.

[NoSuchThing]

Having seen the other Rock based headliners in the past, I agree that Muse puts on the best live show by comparison. Probably not "best of all time" but definitely leading their genre. It's all relative. My usual idea of a great live band is someone who can get a club crowd of 500 people really involved, but arena-wise, Muse takes the cake.

[JML]

I think I've heard Muse called "the best live band in the world" more than I've heard it about anyone else on that list. I don't believe it either and usually that sort of praise is from shit sources like GQ and NME but they definitely get a ton of love.

I agree with the guy above me though, when it comes to rating live shows everything's really subjective and not worth arguing about.

No doubt. Most of those ratings come from fan polls or from NME so I dont put much credit in them. Muse fans are insane so a bias in the results is probable.

[furious D]

insane? insane you say?

[nikolajz1]

The Muse show in Indy is gonna be really empty. There are still about 1200 tickets left inside the pavilion.

[stelles75]

Too bad I'm not getting into Indy until about midnight on Wednesday. Not leaving Charlotte until 2 now. :\

[rockrdudetim]

But, but, but.... they're the best live band.

[nikolajz1]

I'm just saying Coldplay would have sold it out months ago (and also should be on the South stage)

[rockrdudetim]

I completely agree. Coldplay on the North stage is going to be an absolute clusterfuck... getting from OK Go (I'm determined to stay for their whole set) to Coldplay is not going to be a fun 15 minutes.

[nikolajz1]

I can't imagine it being more of a clusterfuck than Arcade Fire or Kings of Leon, but yeah it's gonna be paaaacked.

[rockrdudetim]

Eh, I can. Coldplay is bigger than both of those bands and is one of the top 3 headliners.

[nikolajz1]

Eh, I can. Coldplay is bigger than both of those bands and is one of the top 3 headliners.

Yeah but Muse is just as equal of a draw, and then there is Girl Talk and Ratatat.
KoL had to go up against Depeche Mode who didnt draw well.

True. DM's low pull was a shame even though they weren't amazing.

[nikolajz1]

MUSE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO PICK SETLISTS! Good in Indy, but looks like nothing special for Lolla.

[danzip53]

Let me guess...it was the same setlist they played in LA last week

[nikolajz1]

Yup. They teased Citizen Erased then didnt play it :(

1 OoS song is BS. No New Born, Bliss, CE. They played those last year

[concertgoer]

So your text was a little premature?
;)

That is one of their best live songs

[danzip53]

If they don't play New Born I'm going to be incredibly sad...so I'm planning on being very very sad

[nikolajz1]

Also no New Born is fucking weak

I think they use lasers on one song now only :/

[concertgoer]

Really glad that I am seeing Coldplay

[nikolajz1]

Yeah me too. At least Coldplay plays a ton of songs from their first two albums.

[nikolajz1]

All that being said Muse was fucking amazing!

There was a group next to me that saw them at LA, Indy, and then are gonna see them at Lolla. I can't imagine seeing the same show 3 times in a week. Sounds boring. I told them I was going to see Coldplay then they stopped talking to me :/

[WretchedSkye2113]

Fucking Musers

[nikolajz1]

There apparently going to see them at Reading and Leeds too. Fanboys are annoying.

They did say they were scared that they wouldnt play OoS there.

[Irving_Red]

They have to change it up for Lolla. They just HAVE to. At least two or three OoS songs. How about one fucking Showbiz song? I will continue to dream until I am crushed at 10 pm Friday...

they really are bad at selecting set lists huh?

one fucking song from OoS. (I mean, they could just play the first 6 songs from that and I personally would be satisfied) I feel like Assassin and City of Delusion would also be great live...

[Krentistthedentist]

I feel relieved that you won't be at any sets I'll be at this weekend.

[nikolajz1]

They have to change it up for Lolla. They just HAVE to. At least two or three OoS songs. How about one fucking Showbiz song? I will continue to dream until I am crushed at 10 pm Friday...

You'd think playing LA Colosseum with Rage would make them change it up... but not ever that!

[rockrdudetim]

I think the problem here is that Muse doesn't remember how to play their old songs.

[nikolajz1]

I think the problem here is that Muse doesn't remember how to play their old songs.

I just think Matt can't sing as high anymore so they don't do Showbiz or OoS songs.

[WretchedSkye2113]

I just think Matt can't sing as high anymore so they don't do Showbiz or OoS songs.

?
but EurasIAH! SHAH! SHAH!

[nikolajz1]

He saves it ALL for that part.

[Caseysitsallgood]

glad we can be friends krentist.

[Thisismyname]

Muse got big in America on their last few albums.

The masses want the newer stuff, Muse realizes this, and therefore accommodates it.

If you want a set list with old stuff, go to Europe. Plain and simple.

[cobrien]

Their Europe setlists aren't that much different (aside from their promise for Reading/Leeds).

They're just playing late resistance tour generic setlists at these shows. They're tech production is so outrageous that the crew can't just randomly design video and lighting for an old song on the fly, so Im thinking that when they headed over to north america for this mini tour they picked one setlist for all the shows. Easier on the crew, plus Matt def doesn't remember how to play any non singles or old songs (even though any crowd member would be happy to teach him).

Lame lame lame
Will be going to Coldplay. :/

[Thisismyname]

I mean yeah, they are still supporting a new album, so they are going to play new stuff wherever they play, but for instance, Glasto last year got New Born, Citizen Erased, and Feeling Good, all of which it looks like Lolla won't be getting.
