He might consider that. He hasn't done green before, has he?

Ooh, I just saw this about my Masters this year. I was pretty confident I'd get in, but it's nice to have it confirmed...

:happy:

Wow, nice one! Well done!

mmm shall i get on my roof and paint welcome back muse because planes often fly over my house towards the int airport???

I should be in town tommorow about midday onwards. I am waiting to see how long they will take to sell the tickets out.


Hahah that'd be sweet as!

[Ghosty Ghost]

Nice one Rich!

[_Ed_]

Thanks everyone. :happy:

How are we all today?

[Ghosty Ghost]

Alright, pretty boring day at work. My deskmate was listening to Viva La Vida by Coldplay on repeat this morning and singing along to the chorus. Was funny for a while but got annoying.

[_Ed_]

Haha, I can imagine.

[Tacticalkat]

It's all gone quiet at work, only one theatre going so I'm hiding out for my first sit down of my shift!

[_Ed_]

Well deserved.

[JoBear]

i had a boring day, got a lot of work done on my burglary claims, did the dishes, made a chicken marinade and then eat said chicken. was going to the gym but eating chocolate instead. oops.

[_Ed_]

Chocolate > gym. That is a fact.

:eek:
I love Chris singing "YOURSELF!!" too. Awesome.

[TomIPT]

Some nice vocals from Chris in this version too from 2008 (I was up the front :D) such a good performance. The lasers looked awesome beaming out into the night sky, I really hope they bring them to the BDO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajEltJYx0zA

[_Ed_]

Very nice.

I hope they bring the lasers too. They do work well at BDO - I remember Bjork used them really nicely a couple of years ago.

[t.gypsy]

the more you guys talk about what they brought to the last bdo i am looking more and more forward to it as i was saying to michelle this is the first event of this kind i am tending to.

[Tacticalkat]

I maimed myself at work tonight, and made a twat of myself at the same time. Managed to smash my bad knee super hard on this metal strut in the tech room, and it really hurt, and the next thing I knew the room turned black and I fell to the floor! I bloody fainted! Don't think I lost consciousness but geez had a full on vasovagal and neary vommed.
Never done anything like it before, must have hit a decent nerve or something.
Knee is swollen and bloody sore, couldn't walk for a bit. Had to sit on the floor with my head between my legs!

I'll be so fucked off if it gives me problems on Firday! NOT HAPPY.

[_Ed_]

Shit! That's awful.

Hope it feels heaps better soon. Have you got ice or something?

Do you think you'll be OK to walk around at work all day tomorrow?

[Tacticalkat]

I probably should have iced it when I did it, but when I recovered and was able to put weight on it I had to go and do a caeser, and now it's probably too late. I thought it was ok because I was sitting, but when I got up it was real bad! I'll just be gutted if I've undone all the hard work of the last few months!

Hoping like fuck that work will be do able.

[_Ed_]

Yeah, that's such terrible luck.

[JoBear]

:( sounds painful! call in sick to work, muse is more important on friday, you must rest. haha.

[_Ed_]

:( sounds painful! call in sick to work, muse is more important on friday, you must rest. haha.
:yesey:

[JoBear]

my excuse for not going to the gym to myself is that i'm letting my blisters heal properly before i make them worse on friday on the rower. definitely going to a class tomorrow. :yesey:

might be something muse on tv3 in a minute.

[_Ed_]

Ooh, I'll watch. Thanks.

And that's a legitimate excuse!

[JoBear]

false alarm. they had more muse clips in the promo for that story than in the actual story. and as always showed glastonbury.

[_Ed_]

Yeah, was a bit of a letdown really. I blame you.

[t.gypsy]

when i come into town on thursday i will have the time where i spend in town and i am making sure i get good footwear as i can tell i am going to need it and tact i would like to thin your knee gets better put it at the back of your mind and see muse they are more important indeed.

[t.gypsy]

I know it was a let down i was expecting like an interview or something but that would be too much to ask wouldnt it.

[JoBear]

Yeah, was a bit of a letdown really. I blame you.
i thought they might have shown an old interview then they said it was phil boswick and i knew then it was going to be a pretty stupid segment.

[t.gypsy]

i thought they might have shown an old interview then they said it was phil boswick and i knew then it was going to be a pretty stupid segment.

he is an idiot isnt he i dont like him when rhianna released that song russian roulette he failed to see the emotions behind the song and yet praised the supposed cool tune i can transform ya by chris brown that song really racks me off for some odd reason, they showed the old interview last weekend i think.

[JoBear]

have to say neither of those songs are particular gems. popular music - do not get.

[t.gypsy]

have to say neither of those songs are particular gems. popular music - do not get.

i dont get them either but if the emotions were there when the wrote it surely that would be something to take into some consideration, there are some popular song that is about how to get the latest bang but there are some that are quite good i mean black eyed peas would be a pop that i like

[JoBear]

can't say i see the emotion behind russian roulette. wasn't like she wrote the song.

[t.gypsy]

can't say i see the emotion behind russian roulette. wasn't like she wrote the song.

mm i can kind of see the emotions but i wreckon she could of done it with a bit more guts though and true it would not have been like she wrote it but she gave it a good attempt in putting the emotions into it with what she had been through tho i dont totally believe she was responsible

[TomIPT]

I maimed myself at work tonight

Ouch, how are you feeling today?

when i come into town on thursday i will have the time where i spend in town and i am making sure i get good footwear

Speaking of shoes, anyone have any recommendations? I don't really have anything suitable for long periods of standing and get really sore feet at concerts, I'm thinking maybe some walking shoes or something could do. I don't really want to wear my running shoes as they cost quite a bit and are bright white/silver :LOL:

Yeah you don't really want to wear clean white shoes. My chucks got pretty dirty after my first BDO and I'll be wearing them again since they have nearly had it with plenty of air holes :LOL: So just wear something old and comfy.

[t.gypsy]

Ouch :( Hope your knee is feeling better today!

i would presume you would be better to get covered shoes as opposed to sandals or something like that, I wouldnt wear heels i cant wear them if i had my way i would go barefoot but think thats a tad dangerous..

+1 for the knee here too

And heres a doofus moment i saw a small plane hanging around my house just flying in general and what did i do get out and wave at it in case muse took a small plane to looksie around auckers lol :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

[Orthodox]

Hey guys, lurked here for a while, heading up to Auckland tonight (from chch) for BDO, hoping for good weather, but really looking forward to it regardless. I take it its better to brave the D with friends than alone? I've never been to a BDO before so have no idea what to expect.

[_Ed_]

You should be fine in the D alone - unless you hold on to each other, you often end up being split up from your friends anyway. It's good fun in there. I recommend it.

[_Ed_]

http://twitpic.com/xzh11
Haha, this was an awesome idea.

What about poor old Morgan though?

[Orthodox]

Sweet, ever since i bought tickets, i've been set on the D, just talking it through with mates, most of them aren't that fussed, but i figured it would be fun, went to the 07 chch show and was near the front. Im more worried about dressing appropriately hah

[Michelle]

http://twitpic.com/xzh11
Haha, this was an awesome idea.

What about poor old Morgan though?

:LOL:

Yeah, should of included Tom too!

[JoBear]

the year i got maimed in the d barrier, i was wearing my skechers that are open on the top and have an elastic strap across the middle of my foot. when i got crushed my feet swelled and bruised around the elastic. it was so gross. so i'd avoid shoes that don't have proper closed tops if you can as bitches will step on you.

[_Ed_]

So I see Muse got up to seaside shenanigans at Takapuna Beach with Lily Allen today.

I can only hope the blurry figure dressed all in pink in the photo isn't Matt, but it does seem to be an unavoidable truth.

[lucidity]

Brilliant :LOL:

[t.gypsy]

i managed to have a txt ticket for the signing tent at the bdo tommorow and i thought i would have a look to see if muse would be there but mmm dont look like it but they say that they didnt have the complete list when i was looking so who knows it would be a bit of high hope to see if they would be there wouldnt it.

[t.gypsy]

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/9757/wtfex.jpg

Brilliant :LOL:

it looks like to be matt and also i have heaqrd that he is single and he is hanging with lily its who knows what the y are going to get up to there isnt it, and i am sure i may have seen a chopper while coming to auckers with celebs on it it was hanging around some of the icons like the sky tower,harbour bridge and headed in the direction of north shore so who knows.

[_Ed_]

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/9757/wtfex.jpg

Brilliant :LOL:
He must have packed that outfit specifically for a beach cricket occasion.

Well, I hope that's the only purpose he had in mind.

[TomIPT]

heh, who spotted them down at Taka? Not long to go now :)

[t.gypsy]

heh, who spotted them down at Taka? Not long to go now :)

that is what i love to know i have been walking around town a bit and every time i see someone that looks like matt i think its him until i get a closer look and realise nah thats not him why would he walk up and down queen st at about mid to late arvo???

[_Ed_]

I didn't see them, sadly. I could just tell from the pictures they've posted on Twitter that it's Taka.

[t.gypsy]

I didn't see them, sadly. I could just tell from the pictures they've posted on Twitter that it's Taka.

it looks like to be taka to me too and i havent been there in years and it wiykd be the place for them to go as i heard its a place for the elitis now isnt it

[TomIPT]

Ahh they have updated it, I'm a bit slow tonight, haven't checked twitter since leaving work.

[TomIPT]

Also man, Matt needs to put on some weight, that pink stick figure and the footage from the Jools Holland race are scary, unless he is trying to look like an alien... or is one... would explain a lot.

[t.gypsy]

:LOL:

i almost read his looks as what am i meant to do here lol

[TomIPT]

So is there any plan for tomorrow night after the BDO? I really have no idea where my night will lead me at this point but I could be keen for a meet up.

[_Ed_]

Yeah, do you know the bar Deschlers? We're heading there and should be fairly recognisable in our Musey regalia. Feel free to come along and join us.

[TomIPT]

Yeah sounds good, I have sent you a PM with my number if you don't mind texting me as you guys get there.

Getting excited for tomorrow :D

[_Ed_]

Sure, no worries. Sweet, you're Vodafone. That means it's free!

Yeah I'm really excited now too. Wonder what song Muse will be playing this time in 24 hours...

[_Ed_]

If you have a burning desire to see 5 seconds of the Starlight music video and lots and lots of Groove Armada, watch Tonight on 1. :rolleyes:

[TomIPT]

Haha yeah I saw that, and they said something about showing the sound check, was just some people standing around the BDO stages. At least Muse got mentioned though, even if it was with one of their most cringe worthy songs :LOL:

[Michelle]

how the feck did he get that close to a shag???? ok that could be taken into many different directions

That was my first thought too. It's a cute picture though :happy:

See you guys tomorrow! Night! :)

[Tacticalkat]

:( sounds painful! call in sick to work, muse is more important on friday, you must rest. haha.

Ouch, how are you feeling today?

I don't really want to wear my running shoes as they cost quite a bit and are bright white/silver :LOL:

Argh! My knee is fucking terrible! My plan is lots of pain killers and just harden up!
And today was possibly the most running I have ever done at work, the most intense day and my KNEE HURTS!!!

Sorry! Had to get that out.

I reckon your most comfy shoes are the ones to wear, I'm wearing old crappy comfy ones.

So I see Muse got up to seaside shenanigans at Takapuna Beach with Lily Allen today.

I can only hope the blurry figure dressed all in pink in the photo isn't Matt, but it does seem to be an unavoidable truth.

Goddamn I can't get over this. I work in Taka!!!
Hahahahah he so looks like Patrick off Spongebob.

how the feck did he get that close to a shag???? ok that could be taken into many different directions

Is that a Shag? I don't think I've ever seen one?

[Michelle]

A Pied Shag to be specific :) They have the cutest cartoon-ish type quack. I loved feeding and spraying the injured one at the wildlife ward in Palmy :happy: Ok, must go to bed now.

[_Ed_]

And what's this harden up nonsense? I'd have spent all day in bed in agony today!

[Boris]

I live five minutes away from Takapuna Beach.....and am in Takapuna about three times a week.


FUCK SHIT DICKS.

The guy I live with just said..

"fuck my life"

"fuck me in the face".

[_Ed_]

It's a wee bit devastating, isn't it?

I'm about 10 minutes away from it myself.

How have you been, anyway? Been a while!

[darkshineskitty]

I haven't been in here in a while, hope you didn't miss me too much :awesome:

I'm going to keep an eye out for you guys tomorrow, like a creep. Who's got Moa t-shirts?

Edit: today

[_Ed_]

Michelle has, and Kat and I...might. We ordered ours from a website that claimed it did delivery in 2-3 business days. LIES! Fingers crossed for an early morning courier visit tomorrow. Otherwise I could walk past you on several occasions tomorrow/today and never know it.

Of course we missed you. How have you been?

Well if you're hanging around with Michelle, I might be able to spot her and then infer who else is present :LOL: Are you guys going in a group?

Good thanks, and you? :happy: Got to put all my stuff together in a few.

[_Ed_]

Yeah, I've been good too, thanks. :)

I'm not sure if we'll be going around all day as a group, since I have a couple of other friends I'll want to meet up with briefly early in the day, but we'll definitely try to be together for some of it. And of course we've got our drinks afterwards. :happy:

I'll be wearing the same pants I always wear to gigs once again tomorrow. Zip pockets. :awesome:

[darkshineskitty]

Yeah, I've been good too, thanks. :)

I'm not sure if we'll be going around all day as a group, since I have a couple of other friends I probably have an obligation to meet up with briefly early in the day, but we'll definitely try to be together for some of it. And of course we've got our drinks afterwards. :happy:

I'll be wearing the same pants I always wear to gigs once again tomorrow. Zip pockets. :awesome:

Okay, zip pockets, I'll keep it in mind :LOL:

Busy Busy Busy! Yourself?

(The previously mentioned guy-I-live-with just hopped in his car and sped off to Takapuna..."THEY MUST BE STAYING IN TAKAPUNA...YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE DO ON THURSDAY NIGHTS IN TAKAPUNA? THEY PARTY!")

Anyone else looking forward to Farmer Pimp and The Veils tomorrow/later today?

[_Ed_]

I was not aware that Takapuna people partied on Thursday nights.

I'm really really excited about The Veils. Wanted to go to their gig tonight but had to work.

I've been good thanks. :) Just stressing a bit trying to come up with a topic for my thesis. At least I won't have to think about that tomorrow.

[_Ed_]

Okay, zip pockets, I'll keep it in mind :LOL:
Haha, you'll spot them a mile away.

[darkshineskitty]

Haha, you'll spot them a mile away.

I can just imagine it now. I'll be standing in a crowd, and then I'll suddenly freeze and spin around and the crowd will part and I'll see them. And then a cry of 'ZIP POCKETS!' will resonate through the area :LOL:

[_Ed_]

Sounds like a beautiful moment.

I've decided these guys will be the first band I try to see - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3b9E1p9uOA

Really like the singer's voice.

Have you seen (500) Days of Summer yet?

[_Ed_]

I haven't! It's one I've been meaning to watch but never got around to it. Should I hurry up?

[darkshineskitty]

I haven't! It's one I've been meaning to watch but never got around to it. Should I hurry up?

Yes :yesey: It's so sweet and funny and has good music!

[_Ed_]

That makes it sound pretty bloody good. I'll make more of an effort to see it.

I'll head off to bed now. Might see you later today, whether or not I'm aware of doing so! I hope you have an amazing day anyway.

That goes for everyone who's going and reads this before leaving - have an awesome day, and I hope you get in the position you want to be in for Muse. Hope to see lots of you there and/or at Desh afterwards.

Night!

[JoBear]

have fun guys...i gotta go to work. and i just realised was supposed to have done some work stuff last night. stupid internetless work expecting me to do shit outside work hours.

[TomIPT]

Sorry I didn't meet up with you but had a lift home from the gate to home on the North Shore, I was exhaused and have no voice so it was too good an offer to turn down, hope you had a good night.


Man muse sounded amazing, was up close on the right hand side of the stage, awesome view and sound quality :D

Have loads of pics and some vids that I may upload if they sound ok

my fave bit personally :LOL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2seAJsrtIbQ

That was sensational.

[TomIPT]

Bit of video from New Born, not the best audio sorry but decent video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYoKPWmm0Gs

[Tacticalkat]

Well that was pretty much the best day ever!

They were more amazing than I had even hoped!

Nice to see you guys after too, sorry I couldn't hear a word you said because my ears have been raped!

[_Ed_]

Veils setlist as I remember it, for those who like them:

Not Yet
The Letter
Calliope!
Pan
Jesus for the Jugular
The House She Lived In (one of my highlights of the day)
Advice For Young Mothers To Be
Three Sisters
Larkspur

I think they were amazed by the crowd that went to see them. When Finn walked on stage he said "fuck me. Hello!" Sophia (actually saw her face, unlike last time I saw them) kept blowing kisses into the crowd.

[Michelle]

I've decided these guys will be the first band I try to see - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3b9E1p9uOA

Really like the singer's voice.

I would have liked to see more of them rather than just the last song, but The Checks were pretty good.

Favourite second to Muse was Kasabian. Sound was better than last time I saw them and they played The Doberman in full with a trumpet man! :happy: Think I was the only one singing to it in my area, but oh well. :LOL:

Bit of video from New Born, not the best audio sorry but decent video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYoKPWmm0Gs

Thanks for that! Can't wait for the video Nick (Kinopus) recorded, although he only got about half the gig as his battery ran out :(


Nice to see you guys after too, sorry I couldn't hear a word you said because my ears have been raped!

Nice to see you too! Glad we got a decent photo of at least some of us Moa's :happy:

[Shwissky]

Muse were the highlight of course, but did any one see Jet? I thought they were really good live.

[TomIPT]

I have a few more video clips but youtube is being a pain at the moment and they keep failing mid-way during the upload :mad:

Hhaha it wasn't that wierd guy at the bar was it?

No it was another guy, who seemed to be blowing his nose into his hand.

As you do.

yeah that would be good to meet up when we can talk to one another i think last night was just the cool down from the bdo, and i did one other random thing last night i was lining up the empty bottles in excactly the same way facing the same way lol dont ask i have a habit of doing random thing. I heard from mom the rock has some interviews of some of the bands apparently muse is one of them that has had an interview so some of yous might want to check it out.

[TomIPT]

thank you.. i was wanting to take pics but i couldnt because my digi cam was in my bag.. but to see you put them up on here and putting them on the site thankyou so much.. do you mind if i put it up on my facebook

Yeah go for it, just mention that they were taken by someone else and not by you as I have posted them around quite a bit :)

10 minutes remaining on this video upload, I wonder if it will bomb out again, 350MB worth :p

[t.gypsy]

No it was another guy, who seemed to be blowing his nose into his hand.

As you do.

oh i thought he was trying to hit on the blonde guy lmao..

of course i will mention that i will use your name and mmm are you on facebook??

cool i will be keeping a look out for it and i agree with michelle watching those vids give me the chills too because i was there and when i was sleeping last night the entire performance was flashing through my mind from uprising to kights of cydonia and they did a good job on supermassive blackhole. my mo was saying muse said they were going to do something special i wonder if it was an song being added in or the light show.

[t.gypsy]

Interesting theory.

well he kept on putting his arm around the blonde guy and i was like thinking was he trying to hit on him.. but now you said he was blowing into his hands and he was putting his hand around the blonde guy *shudders*

[Michelle]

hey guys how are ya i thought i'd come in here to see if anyone is alive and well and i was amazed to see there was a few posts, I am tired but its an odd tiredness.. and i would of had bemused with me but some arsehole came past me and grabbed it and took off there was about 4 of the guys that took off with it and i wasnt going to go after them and get it back when i was on my own.

And oh i think me and rich watched some wasted guy doing some quirky things last night after michelle left lol he was odd. I hope to catch up with you guys again.

Awww :( I had fun with our little alien friend.

And hmm, maybe I left at a good time to avoid all the dodgy people :LOL:

Here's the one decent picture I got and setlist if ya didn't see it in the BDO thread.

Yay, the video uploaded, will give a link once it has processed :D Sorry for where it cuts off, but there was no way in hell I was going to stand still holding my camera from that point on :LOL:

well sounds like a good night you guys. mean teasing you with some deadstar though. never forget how amazing that was back in 2004.

nice meeting moas again last night. sorry couldn't really hear anything either, my ears are still ringing lol. i'd guess the rocket man may have been the "muse" surprise. could only have been a better set if matt had flown it onto stage

ahh so that what the surprise was??? it could of been better placed out as i think most people missed it or else had matt flown on the stage with it on guitar and all :D:D might of been a bit too adventourus.

[JoBear]

rocket man?

Some guy in a V jetpack flew over the main stages for no apparent reason.

Haha, it would have been great if Matt flew it. But I don't think it had anything to do with them. I saw on the news about how this guy who flew it at the Olympics or something was here to do it for BDO.

I think i am still high from the whole experience and cant wait to do it again i am thinking i might see them crooked vultures.

and thanks for the more clips on muse... out of curo does anyone have any pics of powderfinger???

I showed mom the performances and on the tinny arse sound i have on the lap top she said it sounded like they brought the house down

Aww cute :happy:

since when did muse become a one man band those pics arent a good portrayal....

have we all gone to bed early??? seems that way here i am on my own with wine and oh would you believe it i had to watch haarp lol silly isnt it

[_Ed_]

Wine and HAARP sounds like a great combination.

I'm just watching TV tonight. Need a quiet night to recover from the BDO! Sweeney Todd's about to start. Think I'll watch it, even though I've seen it before.

[JoBear]

no air crash investigation on then? ;)

:LOL:
Not tonight, sadly.

[TomIPT]

I Just woke up, passed out at around 7:30pm, that is very rare for me, but then I gave it everything on Friday night :LOL: and for some reason woke up at 8am on Saturday when I was planning to sleep all morning :stunned:

[_Ed_]

Haha, understandable. I've been having trouble summoning the energy to do anything today.

[kinopus]

damn last night was sexy.

had an awesome time, got to see muse from a new perspective which was cool, got all the way up in the stands.

I have some really awesome video coming, hopefully have one up by tomorrow night, only got a film half due to my battery deciding to kill its self :(

Muse performance at BDO was awesome! :happy: They really delivered- the lasers were incredible and the smoke at the end was just going on and on! I really liked the way they used the screens in the background too. Some of the visuals on them were really cool. Like the Eurasia map and stuff :happy: And I had no idea Chris could play the harmonica like that!

I saw a bit of Jet, whoever it was that asked. They were pretty good, didn't know much of their songs other than the main singles really though so I can't really comment on them. Kasabian sounded really good too. And a surprise act for me were Karnivool. Was inside the D barrier for them and I hadn't heard them before, but they had quite a good sound!
Did anyone else think The Mars Volta were a bit lacking? I felt like their songs blended into each other too much, and they went out on a really slow note, rather than a powerful end, which was a bit strange.

I cheered myself silly during Muse :LOL: Even started a 'Muse!' chant before the encore :happy:


500 days of summer
I loooove the cheese


Yus! I keep telling people about how awesome this movie is :happy:

Veils setlist as I remember it, for those who like them:

Not Yet
The Letter
Calliope!
Pan
Jesus for the Jugular
The House She Lived In (one of my highlights of the day)
Advice For Young Mothers To Be
Three Sisters
Larkspur

I think they were amazed by the crowd that went to see them. When Finn walked on stage he said "fuck me. Hello!" Sophia (actually saw her face, unlike last time I saw them) kept blowing kisses into the crowd.

I heard them play Advice For Young Mothers To Be. And the other few songs after, but I didn't recognise any of them. They were really good though. I loved when Finn Andrews was like 'Veils fail' when the equipment went weird :LOL: He seems like a really nice guy.


Here's the one decent picture I got and setlist if ya didn't see it in the BDO thread.

You didn't happen to be in the crowd outside of the d barrier, with glasses on, were you?

Great pics Tom! The quality is so clear :eek: Most of mine came out blurry but I got some pretty good video which I might put up later. Probably won't compare to everyone elses because I was a bit farther back. But I was pleased, especially for capturing the lasers during New Born on film.

I tried to listen to some of their stuff before hand as I have heard good things about them, I just couldn't get into it though. I thought they were quite good to begin with live, lots of energy but their mix was horrible, as was the case for a lot of bands. By the end it was just getting a bit tiresome though, and that slow ending not only being a bit strange went into Muse's time slot :rolleyes:

You have to give it to the Muse audio techs, they always get the sound spot on, no matter where they are playing.

They are good, and I like quite a lot of their songs. But they felt very average on the night. They are the sort of band where they have songs you either like, or hate, and they only played one that I knew so that might have been why.

Yeah the Muse sound techs are amazing. The band also sounds great, but not too polished. They manage to keep a live sound rather than record-clean.

Woah, this video is great! I didn't see Matt put his guitar over the back of his head near the end, that's wicked!!

That's what I loved about that night, they were so tight but still totally live sounding.

morning all.... I went to bed about 11pmish last night and after the wine and watching haarp i have a bit of a sore head this morning hehe and its like i just wanna rest, I am glad that its nice and cool. my mom cooked up some nice breaky so yeah and tom thanks for more of the you tube vids.

I wreckoned that mars volta was good i found they had a doors/led zepplin sound to them but yes they went into the muse time slot but i was watching the sound techs they looked like they were having some slight problems getting because i saw the communications and so on going on there perhaps that was why. the time slots went over a bit. I am looking through you tube for a vid of powderfinger from the bdo so mom could have a looksie,

She said she would have loved to come but she wouldnt have liked the crowd so i am showing her the outcome so she can enjoy it that way lol

Yeah, definitely. Although the fact that I was really quite squashed might have also contributed to their set seeming to go on endlessly. Did they really only play for an hour?

I cheered myself silly during Muse :LOL: Even started a 'Muse!' chant before the encore :happy:
:LOL:
I shouted out daft stating-the-obvious things like "KEYTAR!".

Yeah so much went wrong for him, poor guy! At one point at the end of a song he gave up on his guitar completely and dived over to the keyboard and beat the crap out of it to get the big ending the song needed. :LOL:

Oh dear, sore head doesn't sound good!
I went out to another gig last night, and I am so glad I remembered ear plugs, my ears are only minimally ringing.

It cracks me up that everytime anyone mentions anything about The Mars Volta the next thing out of their mouth is how they ran into Muse's time slot.
That was the longest hour of my life, it seemed to be the same song that went on forever.

well the sore head was because i managed to demolish about a bottle and a half of wine and we all know how potent the contents of wine is and it was white wine... i usually have food to soak up some of the alcohol but i didnt eat a thing hence the sore head and me being very quiet.

What was the other gig you went to, Mine arent even ringing at all i guess with me being partially deaf i dont have to worry about the ringing or things like that as the ear mould might block some of the sounds??? thats just a theory

I went to the Kings Arms to see my friend's band, 'Shotgun Alley'. They were awesome, super cheesy rock and awesome old school get up but they have some really good music too.

My ears are shocking, I've been to too many gigs without ear plugs, and the loud stuff at work isn't making them any better. Most of my collegues are pretty deaf.

Ahh, yeah a bottle or so of wine will do that to you!

i've got that unproductive sunday feeling. was going to start packing things i don't use like my books into boxes but i just want to stay on the couch forever. the lousy weather doesn't help. laptop keeps me warm.

yeah i was watching the t20 match, i couldn't decide what team i was supporting. was happy when there was a wicket, was happy when there was a boundary. kind of a good way to watch cricket. normally i'd only do 20-30min of cardio a session. kinda disappointed i missed the last 8 overs as it was right up to the last ball.

[_Ed_]

Still better than me! I usually do 15 mins of cardio and 15 mins of weights. And I've only been once in the last 6 months. I just get so bored of it.

Eww, I think someone at work took their shoes off and perhaps shouldn't have.

[JoBear]

i probably would've got bored by now if there wasn't skytv built into the machines :LOL:

I cheered during the United States of Eurasia intro and it cut through the silence :LOL: People around me were like 'wtf?'


My ears are shocking, I've been to too many gigs without ear plugs, and the loud stuff at work isn't making them any better. Most of my collegues are pretty deaf.


That's like that tutor I had last year, who had constant ringing in his ears from loud music. That's how we found out he used to be in a metal band :LOL:

Also :awesome: I can hear Oren on the radio

[JoBear]

i made the fudge :awesome: probably for the best i have to wait for it to set because i could probably eat it all right now.

[TomIPT]

Still better than me! I usually do 15 mins of cardio and 15 mins of weights. And I've only been once in the last 6 months. I just get so bored of it.

I would never even consider going to the gym personally. There are other less expensive, let alone more interesting forms of exercise such as walking/jogging/cycling and as I have recently discovered moshing like an idiot to music in the comfort of your own home which clearly helped me for the BDO as I was going nuts and hardly even tired towards the end of Knights Of Cydonia :LOL:

But then I'm the kind of person who gets bored of repetition, I like to mix things up a bit, going to the gym would just seem like a chore to me. Each to their own though and good on people who do put in the effort.

[JoBear]

oh i think the same thing tom, i go to the council gyms which are significantly cheaper than any other gym. you get short memberships and can freeze them if you want. i wouldn't bike on a christchurch street with what i see in my job so the cycles at the gym are quite good. i started going to classes but then i changed branches at work and it makes it a bit more awkward to go, so i just go to the gym when i get a free half hour.

got a multi membership at the moment which means pool, class and gym access at all the council gyms so if i get bored i can try something/where else.

[_Ed_]

I have recently discovered moshing like an idiot to music in the comfort of your own home which clearly helped me for the BDO as I was going nuts and hardly even tired towards the end of Knights Of Cydonia :LOL:
:yesey:
Absolutely. It's way more fun than anything at the gym too (although I do enjoy belting a squash ball around when a court's free).

I didn't get tired in KOC either. Kept jumping all the way through to "come ride with me...". I was quite proud of that effort. All the practice paid off.

[darkshineskitty]

it's biscuit fudge actually...this stuff:

*devours*

I would never even consider going to the gym personally. There are other less expensive, let alone more interesting forms of exercise such as walking/jogging/cycling and as I have recently discovered moshing like an idiot to music in the comfort of your own home which clearly helped me for the BDO as I was going nuts and hardly even tired towards the end of Knights Of Cydonia :LOL:

But then I'm the kind of person who gets bored of repetition, I like to mix things up a bit, going to the gym would just seem like a chore to me. Each to their own though and good on people who do put in the effort.

I need to get in shape :LOL: I did pretty well during Muse, managed to mosh in all the right places :LOL: Could definitely benefit from some practice though

[Michelle]

I Just woke up, passed out at around 7:30pm, that is very rare for me, but then I gave it everything on Friday night :LOL: and for some reason woke up at 8am on Saturday when I was planning to sleep all morning :stunned:

I woke up early on Saturday too and I couldn't even get back to sleep. So ended up on here and singing to music all day :LOL:

Muse performance at BDO was awesome! :happy: They really delivered- the lasers were incredible and the smoke at the end was just going on and on! I really liked the way they used the screens in the background too. Some of the visuals on them were really cool. Like the Eurasia map and stuff :happy: And I had no idea Chris could play the harmonica like that!

I saw a bit of Jet, whoever it was that asked. They were pretty good, didn't know much of their songs other than the main singles really though so I can't really comment on them. Kasabian sounded really good too. And a surprise act for me were Karnivool. Was inside the D barrier for them and I hadn't heard them before, but they had quite a good sound!
Did anyone else think The Mars Volta were a bit lacking? I felt like their songs blended into each other too much, and they went out on a really slow note, rather than a powerful end, which was a bit strange.

Wow Michelle, did you get the setlist? That's awesome :eek:


Chris was awesome on the harmonica :happy:

And I agree with the others, The Mars Volta just kept on going and all sounded so similar and as you seid, blended together. I had listened to some on myspace but didn't really recognise anything.

And yes, I got that setlist :happy: It was just given to me as walking through the D :LOL:


I need to get in shape :LOL: I did pretty well during Muse, managed to mosh in all the right places :LOL: Could definitely benefit from some practice though

Me too! My arms were geting so tired I had to alternate them :LOL: I need to start lifting weights again.

[Ghosty Ghost]

Also :awesome: I can hear Oren on the radio

:awesome: thanks for listening bro!

[_Ed_]

Gutted I keep missing out! Wonder if I can stealthily listen at work next time.

Wow that's so cool! Just by some stranger? :LOL:

:awesome: thanks for listening bro!

You're welcome! You played some quite good music- very relaxing Sunday afternoon stuff :happy:

Now I'm listening to a whole lot of Muse on my computer :happy: I've been inspired to listen to them again.

[_Ed_]

Tom, just wanted to thank you again for your awesome pictures. I've got one as my desktop wallpaper at work now - the one with the CO2 at the end of Knights. It looks amazing. :happy:

[Michelle]

Wow that's so cool! Just by some stranger? :LOL:

I'm pretty sure it was one of the security guards.

I'm listening to Blackout at the moment :happy:

Speaking of Tom, did anyone else see Tom Kirk walking about the set?

[darkshineskitty]

I'm pretty sure it was one of the security guards.

Oh how lovely :happy:

Eee, Blackout :D It was amazing when they did that at Wembley with the people attached to balloons.

Haha nope, I was wondering if the Kirk would be there!

[TomIPT]

No Problem, I can provide you with the originals at full resolution if you want, just let me know and I will upload whatever you want. I just slapped together a signature with that very pic :LOL: I must say I am pleased how that one came out capturing Matt holding his guitar in the CO2.

Speaking of Tom, did anyone else see Tom Kirk walking about the set?

I saw him walk out not long before Muse came out.

[darkshineskitty]

Tom I agree with Richard, those pictures were incredible. How did you get them so clear? You must have a really good camera!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THZgiV1rnR4

It gets pretty shaky from the first chorus onwards :LOL: But yay, lasers!

[_Ed_]

Awesome, I'll watch that when I get home. :)

I was just looking straight up at the lasers at the start, partly because they were beautiful and partly because I didn't want to see Matt not playing the piano part!

[JoBear]

Oh how lovely :happy:

Eee, Blackout :D It was amazing when they did that at Wembley with the people attached to balloons.

Haha nope, I was wondering if the Kirk would be there!
that was definitely awesome at wembley. since we went the first night the balloon people were a huge surprise.

[_Ed_]

Got a 2-minute live interview coming up with a guy who's losing his voice and is standing in front of a plane. Fun fun fun!

[darkshineskitty]

Awesome, I'll watch that when I get home. :)

I was just looking straight up at the lasers at the start, partly because they were beautiful and partly because I didn't want to see Matt not playing the piano part!

That's partly why during the video there are bits where the camera isn't quite facing the stage, because I was busy looking up at the lasers :LOL:

[t.gypsy]

well i am all happy and calm now and looking forward to my course tommorow. I dont think i will be staying up late tonight but after dinner i need to get into the motivation to get my self ready for course and to see what studylink has to say for itself if they dont sort themselves out i will prolly need to look at leaving the course which i dont want to do. I did a drawing of a picture and i think i may end up doing another.

+1 to tom too thanks for the awesome pictures

[TomIPT]

Tom I agree with Richard, those pictures were incredible. How did you get them so clear? You must have a really good camera!

It's just a Sony DSC-T500 point and shoot, I can assure you I have a few crap pics for every good one. It's just about timing it with the right lighting and letting it focus.

I found aiming it a bit at the crowd helped for some shots too, and of course trying to keep a steady hand which can be hard in the mosh :LOL:

lol next time we have a muse concert your our cameraboy but i bet the next time you take pics at another muse concert all the pics will come out like crap usually how things like that occur.

And i still cannot believe there is people harping on about the interview in nz about the break up with his gf it was about to happen months before the video was spotted and if the gf had any brains she would of realised who he belonged to..

[JoBear]

what exactly is your issue with studylink? have they not agreed to pay your course costs or something?

[t.gypsy]

what exactly is your issue with studylink? have they not agreed to pay your course costs or something?

the issue i am having with studylink is they are trying to tell me i cannot get a student all because the course isnt full time, the course has told them a zillion time that i am a full time student and they are still saying i am not, they have paid the loan and that just not the student allowance, the status with the student allowance hasnt changed just gone to the sister academy of the one i was at last year. Those are the issues i am having, someone isnt communicating properly with one another at studylink.

[JoBear]

sounds like it could be an issue with EFTS...never really understood how those worked.

its something like that hence why we and when i say we me and the course are trying to get it sorted and apparently its not only me that its happening to.. and i think to complicate matters the course went to start the course date a week early and i declined to start because i knew i wouldnt have been able to go to the bdo and i explained to them i was fully planned because i expected to start on the 18th they did ring people but apparently they had the wrong numbers for me so they are fine with me starting monday.. just more shit to sort out in the mean time

Yours have better audio than mine, but what were you doing all the way up in the stands? :LOL: I bet you had a nice view of the lasers though.

[Spy Fox]

Was BDO goooooooooooood?

[Funky Phasers]

I'm pretty sure it was one of the security guards.

I'm listening to Blackout at the moment :happy:

Speaking of Tom, did anyone else see Tom Kirk walking about the set?

I saw Tom Kirk! It was good. I was all "eyy, It's Kirky!" And then the concert started up and I found myself behind many different tall people. *sigh* As such I missed out on seeing Matt jumping around and Chris headbanging, and only caught glimpses. Apart from that it was great, though. When they started playing Nishe I felt the need to shout out "Nishe!!" To which I received odd looks. :rolleyes:
United States Of Eurasia was epic, it was all quiet and soft and then just exploded. It was totally great. Ah the whole thing was. It seemed to go really fast, though. I desperately want to see them again already!

[TomIPT]

Hey Funky how are things? So you ended up going then :) I agree with USoE, I was expecting it to be an epic live track but it looked like such a dissapointment on the recordings, actually live though it is insane.

They should be back in Nov/Dec though, hope your first Muse experience was a good one, they surely put on an awesome show.

Yeah I find with my camera that it can zoom in really far, but the focus goes quite bad. Often focuses on the wrong spots. Still got some good far away shots, and one of Matt on the screen that I really like :happy:

Wow, great quality! I guess you weren't in the crowd wearing glasses then, to answer my question :LOL: There was a guy near me filming and getting some great close-up shots, and I told him that this thread would love to see his footage. He gave me quite a weird look though so I guess he thought I was strange :LOL:

Was BDO goooooooooooood?

Heck yes! :D

Random BDO comment- I really liked Matt's pants :LOL: I remember when they came on and I thought 'hey, those are some cool pants!' :LOL:

[TomIPT]

Haha, Gold Coast got Feeling Good instead of New Born.

Yeah I just saw that, it's cruel. I think I would have died inside a bit if I was there knowing Auckland got it, with the awesome laser show that New Born has.

It really is time that Feeling Good was removed from their set list permanently when it gets to the point of replacing a classic :rolleyes:

[Michelle]

I saw him walk out not long before Muse came out.

Glad it wasn't just me then :LOL: He was wandering around quite a bit while Lilly was being set up too.

i had my first day of course it was ok i dont like some of the girls in my class yes i was new but i'm stupid and i told them that i had been on the site before and they seemed to have missed that and i was heating up noodles in the microwave and i was in the process of mixing my noodles and putting it back in the mic when someone pushed in no 'are you finished with the mic' just put thier stuff in and started thier lunch i was like thanks.

The marketing team are having as much fun with studylink as i am and i am going to keep bugging them about it.

Those of yous familiar with the tourism industry or done some studies we did iata which is an internationally reconised qualification we touched on it briefly we talked about routing,pricing conversions and the rules and how to work out the pricing of the tickets and the roundings and the fandangled jargon.

and thats good to know that c4 would do a better interview than the egg on tv1 hopefully this time it wont be taken apart like the last one.

Sorry.

Whose baby are you waiting to be born..

Really liked Muse at Big Day Out, although it wasn't as magical as the first time I saw them. Pretty predictable setlist also.

Had a really good time meeting and seeing The Horrors though, who were the band I was most looking forward to. I saw them leaving Real Groovy and discretely followed them back to their hotel (yay for stalking) and jumped into a lift with Faris, the frontman. This is the result.

Later on that night my friends and I were at the secret Mint Chicks gig I talked about before in a hot-boxed, sauna-temperature volcano rock tunnel which was fucking incredible.

Then we saw The Horrors there and chatted for about an hour. Nice guys. Excuse the, ahem, rather interesting photos. Put it down to a mixture of vodka and second-hand high.

Oh, and their show at Big Day Out the next day was amazing too for those who didn't see it :happy:

[cookie]

good for you! first time i read that i thought you'd gone to a gig straight after the BDO :LOL:

[gunnerthekiwi]

It was the night before actually, and on into the morning of Big Day Out. Bandicoot (who are all only 15 and opened Big Day Out at 10:30) actually played as one of the support acts so I assume they must've been knackered :LOL:

That gig probably had the best atmosphere of any gig I've been at though. The location, the DIY nature of it all and the people there just made it perfect for me :happy:

my mom has said when these bands tour together she would love to be a fly on the wall at the antics they got up to

[Super Sammy!]

While I was at the Big Day Out, I was two people from the barrier in front of Matt, I kept wondering if there were any of you lot near to me :LOL: don't know why, I wouldn't have recognised any of you if you slapped me in the face :chuckle:

[_Ed_]

Haha.

I wasn't lucky enough to be that close...left it too late going into the D.

[Super Sammy!]

Haha.

I wasn't lucky enough to be that close...left it too late going into the D.

I missed most of Kasabian (:supersad:) and got 'dinner', then stayed in my same spot from 4:30 until the end of Muse. I'm fucking glad I did too, I had AMAZING views from where I was. Powderfinger were awesome, and Lily Allen was just MIND-BLOWING. I didn't think she'd be so good :eek:!

[_Ed_]

Yeah, she was fantastic. I went in there while Dizzee Rascal was on and never got closer than halfway back.

Haha, 'dinner'. Did you just have chips too?

[Super Sammy!]

Dizzee surprised me to be honest. I was expecting him to be quite crap, but he was relatively boppy and got the crowd going well. Mastodon were awesome too! Kora and Karnivool were rather dull though, I have to admit :erm:

Basically :LOL: and one very undercooked sausage :chuckle:
