And, personally I'd never like to see SS go as it's one of my favourites, although I imagine they could replace it with another heavy drop D song with a bunch of riffs at the end. They'd just have to pull it off well. Dead Star, Assassin, TSP etc.

Probably UD or Guiding Light.

Why play awesome live songs when you can play boring shit instead?

Yeah same I'd hate for it to go.

I can only imagine riffs after TSP there... but they never play TSP...

They played riffs after TSP at EC '04

I can easily imagine Dead Star being followed by a bunch of riffs.

Perhaps, yeah.

Definitely. It's one of their most important songs to fans. If they ended up having the audacity to say "Nope, not playing it any more. Deal with it." then that's something I'm not willing to support. Unless, like I said, they replaced it with an equally important/fan pleasing song.

That's just me though, other people wouldn't mind as much I suppose (although most people would be pretty pissed at it being dropped, I'd imagine).

I just think it's so...unnecessary. It's been played pretty much nonstop since its release(not really, but still). I don't even get how people can consider songs like CE and Bliss rarities, they've never been rare.

CE could easily be replaced with B&H.

Not a huge fan. Since I like the ending riff of Dead Star, it just feels like a waste.

EDIT: But yeah, riffs after the actual song, fuck yeah!

Not rare, but there was a large period of time when it was never played.
I actually enjoyed B&H more than CE live.

They've also played riffs after Micro Cuts, but rarely.

Yeah, that wouldn't be so bad. Like I said, I wouldn't mind if it was replaced by something like that because B&H is a stand-out song that, again, a lot of people think 'represents' Muse. I'd only stop going if they replaced it with something shit or unnecessary (e.g. GL) because, to me, that would show that the setlists are only getting worse (something that already bothers me about the band).

I still feel like (or hope) Guiding Light is like Invincible, where it's pretty much a staple on the tour, but dropped when the tour ends.

Most likely, yes.

Guitars are more robust than people give them credit for. If it's a bolt on neck, then you have to split the body into several pieces to actually destroy the guitar.

I have a Strat where the body is split in two and held together by the pickguard and neck and it's still somewhat playable and has been used to play gigs - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...PA270025hs.jpg


Reality of rock'n'roll is stuff does get broken and things do go wrong, you can't be too precious with your equipment. If you want to express anger, you can only do that with guitars you have no problem with destroying.
