Last night was pretty great. Have heard em better but that's not a jibe on last night.
Knew my chances of Citizen Erased were low but still great night.

Citizen Erased was a long shot, but B&H just about made up for it.
That may have been my favourite track for this evening.
I don't know what the drumming sounded like elsewhere but was staggeringly powerful in my position.
I also don't think Bellamy has thrown a guitar in anger for some time, before last night.
Nice to see a bit of destruction happening in Melbourne
If you were to see him on a night where he was really on (maybe having to go back a few years, sadly) I think you would change your mind.

Some of the pictures I took on night two:
That last one is the guitar about to go flying at the drums.

Saw muse Melbourne show on Tuesday. After much build up as I was told they where so so good live. An after missing a lot of there Bdo show due to drinking a lot, an finding watching guys getting chased by sercurity on the tents more interesting. I was looking forward to them. A great Stadium band everyone told me.
Unforntunatly I wouldn't advise anyone to see them. I am a big fan of muse but I may as well have just listened to there cd up really loud. Umm how to say it too perfect / contrived... Nothing raw exciting or different. An Bellemy is just an average frontman. An the other guy well I worried for his neck as he jerked it forward. Thought out the show.
Maybe I saw the wrong nite. Maybe not, but this is from someone who is a fan an got a free ticket. Very disapointing.

Yet all of that means nothing if you write crap songs. Thankfully Matt Bellamy also writes great songs.

Like em less with every new album. This weeks shows didn't even register on my radar. The old stuff though is still going well on me iPod though.

Last night was unreal in terms of the performance but the atmosphere of the crowd sucked. So many new fans who literally didn't know half their music. Twilight is the worst thing to happen to Muse IMO. Gotta say I was disappointed that they played so much stuff off the new album. I know I'm a whingey bitch and of course a band will play stuff off their latest album but their older stuff is just so much better than their last album. Just back on the crowd, at times when they played their older stuff (Citizen Erased, Plug in Baby and even Stockholm Syndrome) I felt like me and the missus were the only ones who were singing along. There was complete silence at times from the people around me. Yet as soon as the new stuff came on people were singing along. Major facepalms all around from me.
The towers were awesome and Matt can recreate his sound incredibly. The 3 of them are world class musicians but I'd rather hear Muscle Museum or Uno than naff like Guiding Light.
Biffy Clyro were pretty decent too. Loved the pink hotpants.
Love Muse, rapidly starting to hate their developing fanbase.

Stockholm Syndrome for me.
When that guitar riff gets going it gives me chills.
Loved the harmonica intro to Knights of Cydonia last night. Was epic.

Muse was pretty ****ing epic, its gotta be said.
Disappointing they played Guiding Light, arguably their worst song.
Would've liked to have seen ANYTHING Showbiz, Sunburn would've been nice.
Apparently they don't play Muscle Museum live anymore because the pedal Matt used was stolen and unreplaceable, pity.
Disappointing by the lack of love for Undisclosed Desires last night. He uses a keytar ffs, A KEYTAR, that alone makes it full of win.
Still, Time is Running Out really got the crowd going, more than anything else, that was beyond epic.

Which show did you attend Von Douche, no Citizen Erased in Perth :/. Though my other four favourites got a play (Plug in Baby, Bliss, Stockholm Syndrome and New Born), so that was good. Pity there is no chance of Muscle Museum ever again though...
Was pleased enough at the reply some of the older songs received, most got into Stockholm Syndrome especially, and was also pleased Guiding Light got the most muted response of the evening. Wish they had played MK Ultra instead... Of course Undisclosed Desires was inevitable, I took a toilet break during that one, terrible song that.
I'm feeling like I attended a different show to Von Douche
I can kind of agree with thedevil though. If there was one fault with the show, it is that it didn't sound quite different enough to the record for my liking. Live shows should have a raw edge, and it just wasn't prevalent enough. Great night overall though.
Though I kind of wish I was able to see them three years ago when I was absolutely mad about their music.

I used Guiding Light to drink my whole water bottle and ditch...
UD was great, used to to hook up with the cutie that was giving my eyes and dancing with me half the concert.
Would have loved Showbiz, Fury, Sunburn but I knew from the setlist they have been playing in Aus it wasnt going to happen.
Left with a huge grin on my face, awesome night. (Supreme Courts was better)

My bad mate that should have said Bliss I just had Citizen on the brain because of reading through the other posts. In fairness it's the 5th time I've seen them live so they're all starting to run into one a little bit

Whereabouts were you in relation to the stage? I think I picked a particularly bad spot in terms of crowd reaction. I was right near the front and off to the left a bit and Stockholm Syndrome's response was a little bit muted for mine. I've been to previous shows where it's torn the place apart and in my area there where people standing with arms crossed I kid you not, Shitted me to tears. Not only that but when Guiding Light was on these same people had been waving lighters in the air like it was candle in the wind being played at a wake.
I love Matt but the one criticism of himself and the band is that their shows are very scripted and there's very little crowd interaction. They know what they're coming out to do, they do it and then they get off stage.
Feels a bit like you're being filmed for a DVD every single show.

I was to the left towards the back , looking from the entrance. Towards the end I went back into the licensed area though. Stockholm Syndrome went absolutely off from my view, within and outside the area. Guiding light wasn't that well received as far as I could tell either. Damn that song is average and cheesy as ****.
As a side note, The floating eyeballs that they released were cool as well.
I have a little piece of Bliss Balloon, or as it was on the night, Plug in Balloon, from the first night in Brisbane. Nice little momento
When they came out I got my car keys out and was ready to pop one. None came close enough to me.I have a little piece of Bliss Balloon, or as it was on the night, Plug in Balloon, from the first night in Brisbane. Nice little momento
