sykilz Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I ,a non fan, took my son, a fan, to see them at the O2 earlier this year, and was blown away by how good they were,the sound was spot on, the band were tight and very talented, and the visuals were superbly impressive. Not sure a festival setting is best for them, but quite enjoyed it last night, think they're a ' better when you're there' band...!!!

crez5150 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Great live band.... dont think the telly does them any justice at all. I do think they should give their keys guys a bit more credit though..... at least let him take a bow at the end of the set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it is one thing that I don't like where big bands have keyboard players or additional guitarists off stage or far in the corner when they are doing a big gig. I want everyone involved playing something to be on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steantval Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Very good musicians and make a lot of sound for a three piece, just a bit boring after a few tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] As has been pointed out, they're not a 3 piece. Dunno why bands like muse and green day don't just make the sidemen full members of the band - they can't do a gig without them after all.

Back on topic, I thought Muse were effin brilliant on Friday night. Watched on telly, sound through my Denon system, excellent! Chris really is a monster player, and his signal chain and use of effects really is something special.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 listening to it now and i had kinda lost interest in muse for a while but this has sparked it off again, have to relisten to their albums now. think their performance is super tight and the sound is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Posted this on the other Glasto thread, now realised this is the better place... Can someone who knows Muse better than me tell me at what time Hysteria pops up in the set? I don't know any other songs and I don't want to listen to the whole thing. Thanks!

Phil Adams Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Amazing sound and techniques, boring songs, wining vocal. I'm sure if you were in front of them you'd think they were brilliant, but having the ability to switch channels, well I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 With regard to chucking the guitar off the back of the stage, I'm sure there was his guitar tech there to catch it for him, after all it would be more work for him if it got smashed up! Everything else in their set was so slick and on-point, I'm sure that would have been too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467114431' post='3081250'] I think you're out of luck. It should be before Time Is Running Out and it isn't. The iplayer version doesn't seem to include it. I expect it got the chop, probably for the same reason as Adele's set when she f***ed up River Lea. It was the first time she had performed that live though. [/quote] Oh, that's a shame. Thanks for looking anyway. For the rookie Muse-o, what songs would you recommend from the Glastonbury set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1467119073' post='3081294'] Obviously he can do whatever he wants with his own gear, but it seemed to me that the guitar tech was stage right and handed him a replacement immediately after. I wouldn't want to have been on the receiving end of the one he threw as it went headstock first! [/quote] Would have just got out of the way!

Deep Thought Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Seen 'em live three times, always incredible, lost interest after 'Revolutions', but love the new album. I guess each to their own, but it always surprises me when people complain about Matt Bellamy's vocals. Personally I would kill to be able to hit notes like that, but then there are vocalists that get on my wick too. I'm told that on tour, in Germany I believe, he ran out of guitars because he'd smashed them all. So they flew out Hugh Manson, who builds them for him, with six new ones! We once did some recording at Sawmills, where they recorded their first album. Our engineer said he'd never seen a better rhythm section than Muse.

Barking Spiders Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The bassist is top notch and the drummer is very decent too but the cod-operatic wailings and songs in general are meh to my ears. being like a modern day Rush isn't a good thing in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowhand_mike Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 wonder why the bbc cut Hysteria out of the set? thought it was excellent and is definately my favourite song of theirs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
