Violet Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 This is very interesting. The 2nd Law is already shaping up to being one of the most controversial albums for a while. The King of Limbs, MX, now this. All three are controversial, but I love that these bands are growing and experimenting with new sounds. I hate dubstep, but I liked the trailer (at least it's on guitar). We'll see how it goes I guess, but I'm not nearly as afraid as half the fans are. Controversial? What on Earth do you mean? ^ :nod: The more the band changes the better, even If I don't like the new style at least we are getting something new. You can only take that so far, though. Experimentation is fine, but if you go so far as to go crazy and lose the essence of who you are as a group, that's not gonna work for anyone. Granted, I don't think Muse are gonna do that (They know better), but you never know what can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I don't think it's much of a change. It's more apocalyptic, political, classical-fused-guitar-hero rock, and all I want to hear from the band is something with the heart of Unintended and the delicate beauty of Blackout. I'm fed up of all the sci-fi bollocks. I'm too old for it. I want Muse to prove that they're human, and that they can write songs to move me again.

Black Rose Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 £55+ for a ticket for London. What recession? ;) I was comparing some of the ticket prices for shows back in 05/06 time, where the average was £35, prices for shows these days have shot up, even for one-album bands. Plus add on the rip-off of booking fees, no wonder why some festivals have been cancelled, people don't have the money spare to spend ~ £130 on tickets for a show (as a couple), excluding travelling costs. Not a rant at Muse, just concerts in general. I can remember when they cost £30 (CIA Nov 06). I hope to see Muse again, hopefully they will do a stadium tour next year.

Agreed. And they need to stop writing songs about bringing the government and The Man down. I get it - they are evil. Let's move on, shall we? But I still love them. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The sci-fi is still working for me, I wouldn't mind they changed though :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Nip 2 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Controversial? What on Earth do you mean? Controversial in the sense that the fanbases are being divided over the new sound of the bands. We all know MX has split this community, and alot of Radiohead fans seem to feel "sold out" by how electronic the band's gotten. I think so far this "dubstep" trailer has done a pretty good job a dividing the Muse fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The sci-fi is still working for me, I wouldn't mind they changed though :lol: It's all very well doing the sci-fi, just have a bit of feeling behind it as well. If I wanted to hear about totalitarianism and panspermia, I'd read a book about it. I want a bit of expression, feeling, and something beyond sixth form love poetry.

I agree, concert ticket prices are getting ridiculous. It's becoming so expensive that it's almost difficult to reason paying that much to see a band. That being said, I really like what Muse are doing for their fan presale. Much better than a free for all via a radio station like what Coldplay did.

James. Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I've applied for tickets to the saturday night O2 concert... Now we wait :bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Don't know what the Coldplay-vs.-Muse price range is over there, but last tour here in the U.S., Muse's ticket prices were around half of what Coldplay's Viva shows cost. Granted, I think Coldplay is the scammer of all scammers, especially for a band that uses floor seating in arenas, so even if Muse's prices jump here this tour, I still won't view them in the awful light I view Coldplay price-wise. Just hope I don't view the quality of the upcoming album in the same awful light as Coldplay either. :laugh3::dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hysteria Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 My Coldplay ticket for this tour was around £50 (which I thought was too expensive :P), and my Muse ticket for Wembley in 2010 was £40. But now Muse's have increased by £15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 If my unit conversion was correct, that's still a lot cheaper than Coldplay's stupidly overpriced shows here. ($125 with fees, which I guess comes out to £80) But that Muse price is pretty comparable to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Rose Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 At least the fan pre-sale will keep some away from the promoters trying to shift on the secondary ticket market for £80+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shesawsparks Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Anyone who's applied for presale tickets, you should find out tomorrow whether or not you've been successful http://tickets.muse.mu/en/ :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattatouille Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 ^ I better get tickets. Or if not there is a my phone company pre-sale (I think) Then general sale. Genuinely worried I won't get them. Then I may have to look at resales :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shesawsparks Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Genuinely worried I won't get them. Yeah me too. And a few people over on the muse boards have started popping up saying they've got their email now, although it looks like none of those people so far have been "unsuccessful." The wait is killing me :bomb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shesawsparks Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Read this before you give up hope completely http://www.muselive.com/index.php?m=single&id=6708&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+muselive+%28Muselive%29 Still got everything crossed, not that i'm overly hopeful.

Nattatouille Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 They've all gone home for the night; my payment is still pending so I hope tomorrow I will get the email. If not; S.S. General Sale. Whey :dance: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalomania Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Good luck to everyone waiting for news on tickets! I just really hope they get into the hands of fans and not scalpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shesawsparks Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Got an email confirming that I was not successful in getting presale tickets. Bit disappointed but at least I can try again in the general sale tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattatouille Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I wasn't successful either (email at 4am-- I was like 'whut, oh, ugh' and went back to sleep). But I will try tomorrow. I have my fingers crossed for everyone. Some of them have ended up in scalper hands already. There are about ~30 tickets across all the gigs on ebay already selling at least double the value they originally cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hysteria Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I was unsuccessful too. Ah well. They put a link to an 'early bird presale' in the email though. I've got an exam tomorrow morning, so relying on my brother to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
