CONCERTS
He's been playing without a setlist for the last few shows. Hopefully that'll make for an amazing show!
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Mmm. Muse was amazing live on Halloween.
Set:
Butterflies & Hurricanes
New Born
The Small Print
Muscle Museum
Citizen Erased
Ruled By Secrecy
Apocalypse Please
Hysteria
New song
Time Is Running Out
Plug In Baby
Bliss
-------
Micro Cuts
Stockholm Syndrome
The venue wasn't that great but they put on a solid show all the same. Any Muse fan can read that setlist over again and know that it fucking rocked. Every song but Ruled By Secrecy was pure adrenaline, it was sooo good.
They didn't seem all that into it though, unfortunately. They're all phenomenal musicians, but I really got the feeling that the show was just another stop on their tour, and nothing at all special to them. So there wasn't a ton of energy, but the music didn't suffer for it.
Also, the opening band, Evening, were ridiculous. Their first song sounded all right, but the rest of their songs sounded almost identical. And their guitarists were just ridiculous: one picked a chord every song and played it over and over agian, for the entire song, without derivation. One chord, every song. The other guitarist wasn't much better, but he sported the ugliest, overgrown mustache I've ever seen.

Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!

Thanks for writing a much more valuable Muse review than mine, Josh.

Just got back from MG. Wow, ohhh wow.
The man puts on the most entertaining live shows I've ever seen. Haven't seen all that many, but well.. y'know. Anyways, the setlist was great and he kept the audience amused and happy throughout his performance. I don't know the exact setlist but personal highlights for me were a supersized version of) Giant, Rat Who Would Be King and the opener Blue Skies Over Bad Lands. Matt's vocals were amazing (as always) and the whole band sounded fantastic.
He made some great comments in between songs regarding the election and the surroundings. Hehe, it was in a club and there were two tall dance cages on either side of the stage. Someone suggested that Rich (bassist) get in one and dance. He didn't, but hilarity ensued regardless. Also, Matt made a kickass "presentation" about Afghanistan with little doodles with permanent marker on sheets of paper in the middle of North American For Life. Really fucking great.
Ahh, I loved it. Matt certainly gave the impression that he was having a great time too. I could go on, but I'm not too good at making things sound interesting. Heh.
Alex, you'll have an amazing time on Saturday, I'm sure.

That sounds amazingly awesome. I feel like I got jipped because of my crappy crowd.

sounds exactly like my muse experience a couple weeks ago. the energy was low...i prefer to see a crappy band with a lot of energy than skilled musicians like muse simply playing their set.
and evening was hilarious. one of them was wearing their own band shirt. the dude with the mustache is my new hero.

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.
And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

If anyone is going to the GOB show tonight at the docks, looks out for my friend Mikes band Going Coastal. They are opening.

Guy: Her locker's down the hall, I've counted 17 from mine.
Girl: Does he see me? Does he even know that I'm close by?
Guy: We're in the hallway, always at half past nine.
Girl: Would he ever get to know me? Would he take the time?
[glow=brown]...Back in school they never taught us what we needed to know like how to deal with despair or someone breaking your heart...[/glow]

heh, i know someone going to that.. and they know one of the bands.. maybe it's the same one. i don't remember their name. ohhhh well
so, avril on Thursday was awesome!!we ended up with amazing seats, and of course she sang really really well. the one bad thing was that she didn't sing Fall to Pieces. that made me upset, lol. hands down her best song was Tomorrow, she just sat down her and her guitar, and i was ridiculously impressed.
and scene.

you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know
