I predict the same set as well. Maybe it'll have little changes like opening with CFTI or something, I don't know. But I don't think they'll be playing Robot Boy or anything like that yet.

My mouth is now shut after listening to that vid of The Messenger. I have never heard Chester sing that well before...wow!

I guess it was special in a way. Special as in cutting one of their strongest songs from the set. XD

No WTCFM yet?!?! OMFGWTFBBQ!!!

Now there's hope for more change =D...or not...

After the encore, Kelli Ali is going to come out and they'll do My<Dsmbr

 

No thankyou

I can see where this is going

How many time left for the show ?

 

about an hour and a half

They always say that if they play Robot Boy or an older song, it will be in an intamite setting. Since this is a small venue, and the people who are going had to raise $500 for the tix, playing something rare doesn't seem totally impossible.

No hate. I was just saying the I doubt a HT-less setlist would ever happen. (and I LOVE Meteora)

 

Still curious about the ITE thing. Does anyone know off the top of their head if LP has done a set without it?

I think they might not have played it when they first started out but I'm not sure.

No songs from ATS yet, maybe they are going to play it full? So CTFI as an opener will make sense.

I was thinking the same thing, I hope thats what they do honestly.

I highly doubt that they will be playing a new song, but debuting Robot Boy seems possible. I wouldn't get my hopes up though.

What I've Done

For me its either MtM or ATS, They are both very strong albums that changed the band and how they wrote their songs. But I think I might have to go with ATS. Some of the songs on MtM aren't very original (instrumentally wise), it all sounds like songs that can come from any typical rock band. but I can't see any other band do songs like When They Come For Me, or Blackout.

 

On ATS they experimented with different song structures, rhythms and arrangements. Its really impressive to see a band like LP make a powerful record with no heavy guitar at all. At first I thought that I wasn't going to like ATS because of its lack of guitar, but once I heard the album, I understood it. If all of those songs had power-chords stained all over them, they wouldn't be the same. The different instrument arrangements made the songs stand out from any type of music that I've ever heard.

 

The lyrics are even stronger too (no more poor me...). They discuss war, politics, religion, and personal troubles. Things that actually have an impact on people, instead of "I HATE MY PARENTS, I"M SICK OF THIER LIES! I WANT TO RUNAWAY FROM MYSELF! I DONT KNOW WHY I"M GOING TO CRY I THINK I MIGHT DIE!!!!"

 

Thats why ATS has impressed me the most.

 

BTW if anyone says that Meteora impressed them...they need to get slapped.

Well, the more unpopular they get, the more the ticket prices go down

I try to use this exact phrase to reassure myself every time I read one of your posts.

+9001 I've never seen this guy post one positive thing on this whole forum :/

Well actually and honestly, the guys are 'good at' everything. So your going to have Mike who we all know is a man of many talents get stuck back behind a microphone rapping? Even Brad and Rob are really good at keys, so does that mean they have to stick to their respective rolls.

 

I honestly think thats pretty stupid.

Exactly

Muse actually uses guitar and drums. And has a singer that didn't use to rap and then suddenly became a singer. Chester is the fucking lead singer, not Mike. Mike sounds so bad when he sings, I have no clue why the rest of the band would even allow to him to sound like shit on songs like BITS, Iridescent, Blackout, etc. Leave that to Chester. Don't compare Muse to LP.

No offense, but I highly doubt Chester could have captured the same performance as Mike in those songs. If you honestly think he would sound better, than you are just being stubborn and ignorant. Plus, Mike was singing on LP songs since HT while during the writing process. The only difference now is that the writing process and recording process happen at the same time.

What the hell has the lyrics got in common with LP flying around in a space-shuttle ?

There's no need to interpretate the lyrics, what they mean is clear. For me, it's about if you (maybe die or) are gone (in another way) that people remind of you. Maybe the video could be a metapher for the time after your death or when you're gone and the other band members except of Chester are playing the person(s) Chester wants to think of him when he's gone. Don't know .. correct me if you think something else

I like the venue in the video but that's it

Not all music videos have to relate to its song. What does Bleed it Out have to do with its lyrics? What do Given Up, OSC, ITE, BTH, WFTE, or Faint have to do with their songs? nothing. It would be moronic if every music video in the whole entire world had something to do with their respectful songs. If it was, than MTV would be loaded with porn

 

 

BTW I choose Given Up

Sounds like a DVD title to me. I hope its something like Frat Party. It'd be cool if they had commentaries for all of their music videos, extended making of's or something along those lines.

ATS songs are pop? Jesus christ people get your ears checked..

+1

 

It seems like people get ELECTRONIC MUSIC confused with POP. Just because most modern pop songs use electronic instruments doesn't mean all electronic songs are pop.

The whole point I'm trying to make is... The songs don't have to be slow to be fucking different. LP should probably learn that and utilize that. I would have loved ATS if the beats were complex, or different, but most of the songs on ATS are really down tempo, slow beats, with depressing melodies, etc. I wouldn't even mind no heavy guitar or no raw drums if the songs were different, a few slow songs is ok, but if the whole album is just slow songs than it's really boring. When They Come For Me and Blackout are really good IMO, I love those songs. Wretches And Kings fucking sucks IMO. And the rest are slower songs, except for the Catalyst, but that's still kind of weird. It's not ''slow'' but it's not ''heavy'' like other songs.

Most of the songs on ATS have faster tempos than the ones from HT and Meteora. And last time I checked, some of those beats are very complex. Have you heard the drums in The Catalyst? or When They Come For Me? Hell, they need 3 drummers to even play that song. That seems pretty different and complex to me.

I noticed this the other day too. Glad to see that the singles from ATS are having some success.

Mike's a better guitarist.

I wouldn't say that he's a better guitarist (skill wise). If you see some versions of BITS live, he simplifies the solo a couple of times. But he is probably a better writer.

I honestly don't care if there is any guitar on the next album, I just want the music to be good.

Very short chat, not much was answered. There was also some kind of audio problem the whole time. Chester's chat was 10x better than this.
