Why does it smell like they're cooking with wine, when they're obviously not? :thinking:

2 minutes talk, one story.

 

I have two ideas: 1. Doctor Who 50th anniversary. or 2. Hannibal tv series. Which one? >____<

Muse in two weeks!!!

 

I saw them last night

So I already posted this in the muse thread but it is what I'm thinking so:

 

OMG last night I saw Muse and it was f***ing fantastic.

 

I'm putting a spoiler for those who want the surprise... Lets just say there were quite a few surprises :heart:

 

 

The Ricoh Arena, Coventry

May 22, 2013

I arrived at the Ricoh at approximately 4:10, I purchased a Tshirt with the tour dates on the back and a wristband (tshirt -£20, wristband -£3). Me and my friend had a look around to see what entrance we wanted to go in (XX ticket- general admission, any entrance, standing/pitch or unreserved seating) and then found one where the line wasn't too long. At about 5-ish the gates opened and we went in...

I was looking around with a face looking like this: :wacky: and my friend was like :o . We didn't know where we should stand, so I decided near the middle stage on the left, we were on the third line from the very front :D!!

Bastille

They were very good, but of course none of us Musers knew any of their songs other than Pompeii, still very good though.

Dizzee Rascal

Now... If I'm honest I was dreading listening to him, but surprisingly I enjoyed his time on stage more than Bastille's. He did what he was there to do, get the crowd warmed up and ready to go. He played his hits and some new stuff, but everyone (except this girl behind me who hated the world) was lively and jumping about and singing along.

Muse

So I was counting down to 8:30... I was literally shaking out of excitement!! I made some friends, there was a girl who was there with her mum, me and my friend had a chat with her, she had an exam the next day (today) too, a fella who was next to me, I gave him a glow stick (yes I took glow sticks and what :| ) and his girlfriend too then we talked about Dizzee Rascal... But anyway....

OMG the moment Muse walked on stage my heart stopped for a moment and from then on I felt like my heart was the drum pounding away to the songs!! I loved every second of it!! They started with Supremacy and W O W, it was fantastic, the crowd really got going for that, listening to everyone get their voice at their highest and singing SUUUUUPPPRRREEEEMMAAACCCCYYY was brilliant!!

They played quite a few old songs which I loved!!! However there was a lot of people who were there because of The 2nd Law and I think they were unfamiliar with the older songs but oh well :).

My favourite song that they played was Knights of Cydonia. It was absolutely positively fan bloody tastic. It was the best part of the night for me. I thought that was the song that the crowd responded best too as well, everyone singing along to the opening LA LA LAAAAAAA LALALALAAAA!!!

The visuals were great!! So different to what I expected, during Blackout there was a giant lightbulb with an acrobat coming out the bottom which traveled around the stadium!! That was brilliant!!

The confetti cannons exploded and it wasn't your typical confetti... Oh no.... It was MONEY with MUSE on it! How cool it that? It was awesome every one was going crazy to get some, I managed to get 5 pieces (I've tweeted the picture if you want to see it :) @m0lly42 ).

I'm sure you've all heard that 'Muse set the Ricoh on fire'? Well the fire was brilliant and so were the smoke machines, really just made the show that bit more adrenaline filling!

The giant robot was great!! Fire coming out of his ears!! Big flashing red eyes, he travelled around the stage!! It was great!!

Matt Bellamy was running around the stadium high fiving and shaking hands of those at the front before saying something along the lines of 'Shit this place is BIG' :P, there were a couple of people in front of me so I didn't get to shake his hand but still I was like 4ft away from MATT BELLAMY!! The only downside to this part was that these girls had a go at me: so there are thousands of people surging forward to try and get an inch closer to Matt so I get pushed into these snobby girls and they're like "WE CAN'T GET NO CLOSER AND YOU CAN'T REACH HIM SO STOP PUSHING" so I was like aw hell nooo :P, I said "well actually don't you think that the thousand people behind me wanna see him too, i can not help being pushed into you, its a concert so y'know" then I kind of get them a bitchy look and continued screaming and whooing. :D

Muse hired actors do some bits on stage there was a business looking woman and a man wearing a suit who did a few bits of stage. They ended up in coffins.

The whole show was filmed and the camera came up close to the audience a lot, and they did point at where I was standing loads so I continued rocking :guitarist: and singing and did the occasion wave and Whoo at the camera :P.

I even got on the big centre screen for like 5 seconds, there were about 20 other people too but I was like :omgomg: :lol:.

Muse were absolutely fantastic. I didn't know what to expect because I think Matts vocals are absolutely great on the albums so I thought that he probably wouldn't be as good live but I honestly thought he was even better. Doms drumming was spectacular, he really set everything off in my opinion. And of course Chris was fantastic too!!

When it came to an end I was so pumped and excited. I couldn't believe what I had been waiting 7 months for was over in just over 2 hours, they played until about 10:50ish. It was totally worth it. One of the greatest things I have ever seen.

To any Muse fans who haven't yet been to a concert, try and go to one.

Now my voice is croaky from the singing and whooing, my hands are sore from clapping and my feet are still dead from jumping for 4 hours.

 

P.S. I had 2 exams today, one was at 9:00 and one was at 1:30. Muse motivated me so I hope I've done alright!!

 

 

I miss the person you used to be. Please turn back time.

spanish is harder than german+english

David Bowie isn't just a musician, he is an artist, a man who created and lived in a world of his own.

I guess writing out thoughts and feelings through music brings solace.

Purchased some docs (Doc martens) so now grandad has stopped calling me the goth and started calling me a skinhead, love you too grandad!!

^lol.:laugh3:

 

Had an uneasy feeling all day. Hope everyone's alright. :)

NO ONE UNDERSTANDS MY LOVE FOR BOWIE :freak:

 

I DO I DO I DO I DO I DO!

 

I'm thinking tonight's jam is going to be EPIC!!

When people ask me what my dream is and I say rockstar they always laugh.

I'd love to be in a band like Arcade Fire, so many instruments to create amazing sounds. But then I'd love to be like David Bowie and have all different personas for albums. And then a hint of Chris Martin, a person to look up too, to be a hero, icon, legend. But then also have the sex appeal of Debra Harry, she's booootiful. I want the musical ability of all the above too:P

 

I just want to be on the stage and I WANNA ROCK

Coldplay don't have Bowie's different personas, but each of their era's has almost been like a different aspect of their personalities. Part of why they've stayed so relevant, imo.:D

 

Woo Hoo! After nearly 8 years, I've put in for a change of username!

^ooh :D what should we know you as from now on? :o :P

 

I guess the outfits the guys wear for each era could kind of be compared to how Bowie changed 'characters' :P

Woo Hoo! After nearly 8 years, I've put in for a change of username!

Oh wow! Nice. What's it gonna be? Or are you just going to surprise everyone?
