Muse soundchecking Micro Cuts at LA Rising, 7/29/11

[Kihlberg90]

Epic troll moment!

[BioCofMN]

0:41 those people were like WTF??

[Tacadoband]

good to hear hardcore American fans :)

[MrSamsung913]

Its like God giving us a sign or something!

[420Chema]

i cry when i hear this..

[blitzkriegrockz25]

@420Chema I hear this when i cry

[VFDbranch13]

Awwwwwwwww why didn't they play this?

[billahbob]

@VFDbranch13 They were prob practicing it for Reading/Leeds.. Sorry for my english :D

[VFDbranch13]

@billahbob True true. No worries, your English is fine.

[lirce23]

i was there <3 ahha it was fucking epic!!!

[MrGeewiz1]

Fans like this spoil all live music, feeling the need to scream like a little girl just pisses everyone off

[bobek3x]

@MrGeewiz1 why so negative?

[Aphorism89]

Lol @ the chicks :D imagine them once inside, i would be the same tho :XX

[KKOPPI]

I SO wanna punch those bitches

[MrZw69]

at green day concerts they let you in for free to watch their sound checks.

[zwongel]

@MrZw69 but you don't want to

[MrZw69]

@zwongel At least Green Day has won several Grammys and has a future spot in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[PractitionersAlex]

@MrZw69 Atleast Muse don't label themselves 'punk' when they're far from it. Green Day are the biggest sellouts on the face of the Earth. They used to be good.

[MrZw69]

@PractitionersAlex Muse isn't punk, Green Day is. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Green Day is better than they were 10yrs ago and only getting better. But, Muse is still a great band no doubt about it.

[PractitionersAlex]

@MrZw69 I didn't say Muse were punk. And Green Day aren't punk anymore, they're just another shitty American radioband.

[ebulac]

mal mı lan bunlar

[Blindshooting]

Who was the fat chick in the dress?

[shaunlrice]

Well Im pretty sure she met they don't play as often as the other songs. Although good job catching them at a soundcheck lol.

[tbailey94]

i'd have cried

[MKUltraCuts]

Oh Shit!!!!

[HollowChase]

OH MY GOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! O_O

[MRUDE24]

who was that pig who was screaming.

[toxiczebra17]

DDUUUUUDE. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GO TO THAT CONCERT. THANKS A LOT MOM.

[FretsonFireMuse]

Dom mentioned somewhere that they might pull out Megalomania for the US gigs (seeing as they played it in Russia). Then they soundcheck Micro Cuts and it was almost confirmed it would be played at LA Rising. Then they decide not to bring any rarities out and shorten the setlists they had increased only a month before.

This was a weird summer.

[Horowitz01111]

@FretsonFireMuse I think they played some rarer origin songs during the summer tour preparing for Reading and Leeds festival, where they played the whole album. Although, I agree it's a total shame they didn't play any rarities this summer, and they haven't for the past 5 or so years.

[FretsonFireMuse]

@Horowitz01111 I'm aware they were going to play the album for R&L, but that's what made it more disappointing to know that the only rare Origin song was Citizen Erased (which granted is not bad).

[Horowitz01111]

@FretsonFireMuse Yeah, they should play songs like SD, HM, CE, MC, Screenager, Darkshines, and Megalomania alot more often.

[garethp15]

Haven't played this song in a long time? They played it last time round?

[agenthal]

@garethp15 4 years ago, and not very many times...

[MrGeewiz1]

@agenthal They only started playing it 4 years ago because they were planning for their first Wembley stadium performance

[TheEurasianAngel]

woulda beat the gaurd and rammed in there.....

[pluginbaby2799]

F*ck I wish they would've played this!! But oh well we got Butterflies and Hurricanes :)

[Yossome]

@pluginbaby2799 I was so fucking happy they played Butterflies and Hurricanes. Probably my favorite live song of theirs.

[cyberdems]

awesome =) love the screams when micro cuts started lol. gr8 fans

[xbox9788]

Awwh Poor people outside the fence, i was right there, on the floor of the coliseum, witnessing the beauty ! xD YOU GOTTA LOVE KROQ!!!

[ghostmouthzach56]

This is the reason I hate going to muse concerts

[MrGeewiz1]

Idiots! You hear a song being played so you decide to scream over the top of it so you can't hear it. Genius idea

[iammelion]

@MrGeewiz1 We could hear just fine, thanks for your concern, asshole. As if a video is going to do justice to how loud the soundcheck was.

[MuseHive]

Fuuuuuck.

Ok everyone, who's going to Reading and Leeds this weekend: I hate you, lucky bastards!!! ;D

[promathia1]

hhahah those are the people who were very irritating

[pokabeb]

Wow still amazed that Matt can pull off those vocal ranges & high notes after all these years. He is a pro indeed.

[Gdh1091]

Cheeky little practice for Reading and Leeds :-D

[ImMclovinMuse]

SO cool for you guys!!! Makes up for their embarassment of a setlist that day :O

[kfranco145]

I'm kinda glad they didn't play it, because than I would've been pissed I didn't go. :-)

[killerkite333]

lol at the guard. it must be so much awkward moment for him :D

[NickoliasCaville]

Lol @ at you not getting Micro Cuts.

[topliff12345]

Still got it Matt!

Gorgeousness, XXX

[museguitar4243]

you should have begged the guard to let you in!!!

[sampicko]

Haha I love your reactions when the first few notes are played!

[DomHowardsFluoPants]

Glad that he's still able to sing it =)

[iLoseTechnology]

LOL I love the reaction!!!!! and the guy in the background..."they haven't played this song in a really long time." "Oh really?" xD

[pvksl]

that boy on the bike with a bowtie - is he a Doctor Who fan or smth? haha :D great headbanging, looked so awkward and cute :)

[danielazmaster]

Lucky lucky facking lucky girlszz!!!!!!

[FernandoDANTE]

But hey, there was actually not that much screaming.

[FernandoDANTE]

It's great, but does not warrant hysterical screaming...

[iammelion]

@FernandoDANTE Err we screamed because we were shocked that they were playing it, since it was completely unexpected. I mean, it's been 4 years since they've played it live! I thought our reactions were justified...

[Prensftw]

@FernandoDANTE it warrants screaming... its fricken micro cuts

[hvostatoe]

OMG!!!!!!!XDDDDD

[SphealProductions]

I'm jealous of the fact that you got to hear this live :)

[hyperbliss42]

2:25 I would have run through that gate. :3

On a serious note, Matt sounded spot on. Wish they played this song more often, it really deserves it.

[agnes0320]

I won a radio station contest and got to see them soundcheck. Ahhh it was amazinggg. They also played bits of citizen erased during the soundcheck.

[liquidcontrol]

@agnes0320 Yeah, we heard that too! They played the whole song. Were the visuals included?

[bobek3x]

Jesus...Timmy C walked by you, waved at you and you didn't notice?!? Fuck Micro Cuts when Timmy C is around!

[billahbob]

@bobek3x Well fuck Timmy C when Micro Cuts around :) They havent played it since 2007 :)

[iammelion]

@bobek3x I noticed! I said "Hi Timmy!" in the video hahaha. He had walked by us a few times already that day and didn't acknowledge us, so we were more focused on Micro Cuts.

[bobek3x]

@iammelion oh ok...:) so ur the hot one :D lol

[iammelion]

@bobek3x Wow thanks haha, I thought I was so spazzy in this

[bobek3x]

@iammelion yeah..quite cute :)

[GlenMuse795]

@bobek3x Dude, Micro Cuts>Timmy C. Always. :P

[liquidcontrol]

@iammelion So did Justin! He said he was going to post it as well.

[liquidcontrol]

To be honest. I was slightly disappointed they didn't play it during the show. I was SO looking forward to it. But... this... was pretty much enough to satisfy me! <3

[ruledbymuse1]

man this makes me even more jealous of the people going to reading and leeds

[ruledbymuse1]

so they soundchecked it but didn't play it. is that right?

[iammelion]

@ruledbymuse1 Yeah, I felt bad about being part of a very small group that witnessed it in person. At least Haley and I caught it on film!

[wewanthecup]

Thank you for posting this! Obviously you know how lucky you are by now, hehe.

[iammelion]

Thanks for the upload, Haley! Hopefully people won't bitch about our excitement since you caught the audio better than I did in my video.

[liquidcontrol]

I want to relive this!

[DigitalTelex]

THANK YOU! I got to actually hear it!
