Hey everyone,
Fresh from seeing Muse on Sunday night, stood at the front front bouncing up and down like an idiot for well over 90 mins. Still grinning like a child, something I will never forget in a hurry!
The question is, have you seen them? And do you agree that this band kick ass live?
Cheers
Chris
Saw them in Brum last year (or maybe the year before - my memory is going) and I thought they were massively overrated.
Nowhere near as good as I was hoping. It really showed how much Bellamy’s voice brings down the rest of the band :(
as good as you may think they are I doubt they are "the" best live act
eh? Bellamys voice carries the band for me... It sounds just like the cd, not many bands can sing live these days, but Muse are one of the rare few that I would say can? Maybe he had an off day when you saw them>?Quote:

Go see Rammstein live and you'll change your opinion.
You'll also be death for 2 weeks, and at the end you'll be surrounded with 20,000 metal fans all smiling, which is a weird experience.
I agree with that. Except hopefully you'll be deaf rather than death :)Quote:

agreed on the 'best' live act not being possible, muse do put on an ace show though - saw them at reading a few years back and it was pissing with rain, steam rising from the croud, floodlights on.. awesome atmosphere, suited the music brilliantly..
bizarely, slipnot put on a fairly entertaining show..
Dont read kerrang! and type at the same time :P had Death on the mind I think.Quote:

Pink Floyd, Genesis, Kate Bush, The Who and Yes were also excellent live gigs :)
Modern bands, they dont know they're living ;)
My "best" ever gig moment was Metallica at the Ministry of Sound, promo mini tour type thing for reload. it was the smallest venue I have seen Metallica at and I was smiling for week afterwards :D
I saw Muse on friday last week and they were ace, not the best i've seen them but they are one of my faves live :D
I saw Muse last week at the NEC. They were outstanding :D
Nearly, but hearing Radiohead play Airbag was THE moment for me!
Its not just about the singing and music guys, its about the show. If anyone has seen the black holes and revelations tour here it is quite something else. I dont think ill ever forget it tbh
But some could say im biased as I have loved muse for nigh on 7 years!
Glad the thread has some different opinions going though, keep em coming!
I'd love to be death for 2 weeks. Mort was cool.Quote:

Muse are an awesome band, really great, they have some amazingly good songs made.
But i haven't seen them live, shame, but i would like to.
others i'd like to see are The Automatic, RHCP, Foo Fighters & The Offspring
Best radiohead moment for me was when they played south park in oxford. He was in the middle of paranoid android singing rain down, rain down on me and the heavens opened. It was just awesome!Quote:

They do put on a good show I have to say :)
But I have still never seen a gig with a better show than Rammstein - fireworks, flamethrowers, people boiled in pots, very impressive stage setup, and good music :) Sure their lyrics make no sense in english or german (actually make even less sense in german) but they do put on a good show.
Metallica know how to do a good show too..but obviously in a different way - such as playing the entire Master of Puppets album @ download this year :D
like some kind of walking skeleton with a scythe?Quote:

They do put on a show thats for sure was an ickle bit dissapointed with the M.E.N gig because the set list was a bit weird and disjointed to much stop start but very minor complaint Foo Fighters probably slightly better in my opinion but o well, subways are very good live as are the strokes

Muse are the best band I have seen. saw them at lowlands fest in the netherlands(near amsterdam)
But then again ive been listening to Muse for years and they are my favourite band.
I'm pretty sure they would be immensely good, as eventhough I am not into rock music anymore, and have consequently moved on, that would be the one rock band I would love to see live.
The best concert I've been to was a relatively small one of Matisyahu, I was about 3 foot away from him as he played to a small crowd of about 200-300 in the Carling thingy in Birmingham (no idea why, I've seen him play to massive crowds on the interwebs) and it was a legendary night. :)
Went to Edinburgh Fringe Fest to see Muse. Awesome, but I wouldnt label them 'best act' alone. A must see netherless.
Thats the only bit that makes me think 'Damn! I wish id been there!' :PQuote:

My problem with big gigs is that, yes they have the effects, loudness and the awesome skill that pro musicians bring, yet it just doesnt have that cutting edge of being cramed into a small room being toe to toe with the band.
also saw them on sunday at the arena , Muse are the best live band ever,
the show was just fantastic, a totally amazing gig and also one i will never forget
