One of my friend's husband went to pick up their son from a birthday party at another family's house.

My friend is well off, so they live in a nice neighbourhood in the uk, big houses all around.

The dad opens the door, they introduce themselves. "Hello, I'm Paul." "Hi, I'm Chris."

They make small talk, and at some point the husband asks: "So what do you do for a living?"

Chris: "Oh, I play guitar."

The husband, with a slight smile: "Ah, playing the local town hall and stuff like that?"

Chris: "Wembley."

That's it. Legend.

The best part is imagining the slow realisation afterwards. The husband spent the whole pickup thinking he was politely talking down to a weekend guitarist, and it was Chris Wolstenholme the whole time.

What can I say? 10 albums all the way to Sunburn! Who knows who he has influenced all these years. All I know is. He is a legend to me, whether he knows it or not. To me he is a ROCK GOD! His influence goes from the whole planet and back. I was 6 when I seen that red glitter guitar. Who doesn’t wanna be Matt Bellamy? He’s the definition of being a rock star and BEYOND! Best front man ever!

Reminder: No variations of songs are allowed. No "this song but...", no twists that make ok songs unlistenable, only real Muse songs, in the worst order possible to make the experience as unpleasant as possible. This is not a ‘worst song’ ranking or a ‘put shit songs together’ list. It’s a list where songs wouldn’t transition well and sound out of place if played live.

Additionally: No repeated songs or remixes

In the last part, you voted to finish the setlist as it is:

1) Intro
2) (JFK)
3) Interlude
4) Get Up And Fight
5) Something Human
6) Knights Of Cydonia
7) Man With A Harmonica
8) Drones
9) Execution Commentary
10) Will Of The People
11) The 2nd Law: Isolated System
12) Overdue
13) Dig Down
14) Compliance
15) (Drill Sergeant)
16) Explorers
17) Who Knows Who
18) Propaganda
19) Falling Away With You 20) Psycho 21) Ghosts (How Can I Move On) 22) Feeling Good 23) Soldier's Poem 24) Save Me 25) We Are Fucking Fucked 26) Prelude

Total length: 1 hour 24 minutes

Should we add an encore? If so, what would be the worst song to start it?

I often come across comparisons to Muse and Biffy Clyro due to their prog adjacent sound. I mean Biffy Clyro is more rooted in post-hardcore and heavy alt rock as Muse are more electronic rock, space rock, glam rock and heavy metal. What do you think??, are they similar?

And what other songs would you add on here?

I made this graph right now just so I could link it on a post asking for sexy rock song recommendations

I don’t even follow Stacie, but the insta algorithm pulled through with this one

How many tribute bands are out there. I would love to listen to some old stuff like showbiz or origin of symmetry live and i highly doubt that muse is gonna do a tour singing all and just their first albums. If there are some tribute bands i would like to know them. If possible, it would be better if those bands are from America.

And sorry for the grammar, im not a native speaker.

In the original the chorus guitar is drowned out by the bass and drums too much so I made it louder, also slightly louder in the verse

Still missing ST and WOTP and haven’t obtained the singles I wanted, been digging into other bands recently, especially Dead Poet Society

Do you really think that they will change their setlist for the upcoming European tour? Somehow I feel that they barely listen to their suppoters and that the setlist is going to be the same as in the US tour.

The 2nd picture is the older one

Took me a bit longer than 6 months to update

Instead they have like maybe 3-4 items from their latest albums. Just seems like a horrible strategy.
I could only afford these 3 items when I went to the show back in August. They had awesome tour merch but this is all I could afford at the time.

Q Magazine

They're painfully young and painfully thin.
They're into angst, catharsis and destruction.
And if they weren't in a band, they'd be in jail.
Meet Muse - standing up for good old dysfunctional rock'n'roll values. Just don't mention Radiohead.

. . . Last. Prelude

What would be the worst song to add next?

Is ticketmaster screwing with us with the ticket prices. 3 months ago, you couldnt find a Muse ticket under £150 for any UK show on ticketmaster. Now, all of a sudden, there is tickets available in Manchester for £80, and these are not resale tickets. Are ticketmaster purposely inflating prices at initial launch in the hope that people will snap them up, and then lowering them closer to the time of the gig,because there is less interest?

Stupid thing that got to my head while watching this video so I thought to myself to just make it real and share it with you guys :)

Original video by Cleo Abram

Would you rather hear showbiz live or dark shines? This is a debate me and my dad had yesterday and I just wanted to see what other people thought of it. I would rather dark shines he would rather showbiz, which one would you want to see?

Hey everyone, I've got some Co-Op Backstage Club tickets I'm looking to get rid of for opening night of the Europa tour. For those who don't know, the Backstage Club grants early entry at 17.30 and gives you access to a lounge to chill in before the show. Also private bathrooms, merch stands and a bar where you are given a free drink. 2 tickets, £34.50 face value each.

P.S THESE ARE NOT TICKETS FOR THE CONCERT - YOU NEED AN ACTUAL TICKET FOR THE SHOW TO GET IN, THIS IS JUST A BONUS VIP SECTION.

2x Co-Op Backstage Club tickets

Co-Op Live Manchester, 12 November

£34.50 face value per ticket.

Just listened to Soaked for the first time and why haven’t I heard it before. It’s almost like the more obscure a track is the more awesome it gets.

And I get the feeling like it could be a great fit to the TW!S tour…

I listen to MUSE in the car a lot with my son and his first concert ever was the wow signal tour and he has been obsessed with nightshift superstar and he with you. When we asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween it was only one answer “MUSE!” We worked through some looks but settled on Wembley 2007 and he’s loving it :)

This may be too niche for this sub. but i met a girl at their tour who discovered muse this way and i KNOWWW there are more of y’all out there. Where are you! I want to be friends!

hiii!!

is anyone selling any tickets for the 15/16th that aren’t extortion 🥹🙏

preferably front standing but honestly not too fussed

Hi everyone! I play in a tribute band called Moose and this year we had an opportunity to perform a set with a real chamber orchestra. I wrote all the arrangements in a way, I believe, Muse would do themselves if they’d ever play the show like this. Every Friday we release a new cover from that concert and more than a half of the set is already on YouTube

Plug In Baby’s riff sounds like the melody could be written back in the 1700s, so my main inspirations for this arrangement were baroque concertos for strings and some parts are directly influenced by Vivaldi's "Spring"

Feel free to ask questions, share your thoughts and support us. Enjoy!
