Aaah, Supermassive Black Hole. This was a good one as well. The crowd yelled SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOOOLE!

Along the way, the band played their old stuff like Sunburn, Feeling Good and New Born. He played the piano for part these songs.

During Feeling Good, he used a loudhailer to create a voice effect.

Finally! INVINCIBLE! The crowd sang along to every word. I sang my lungs out as though my life depends on it. It was a happy cum emotional moment as I sang it. A fucking dream come true. An epic song as well.

What made the crowd even happier was when the bass intro for Time Is Running Out was played. As usual, everyone sang to this.

The pre-chorus was even better. Matt just walked off his mic and let the crowd sing

Bury it,
I won't let you bury it
I wont let you smother it
I wont let you murder it

......
Again, the crowd jumped and mosh to the music. I got slightly possessed and jumped and dance and bob my head to everything that was played during the show.

Finally, PLUG IN BABY. I remember the days where Afiq and I discussed on MSN how cool it would be to see Matt play that opening riff on stage. But the stage was small, and Matt couldn't spin as much as he did at Reading 2006.

Still! It was good. I would say that Time Is Running Out and Plug In Baby was the crowd's favourite. Indeed.

Then Matt dropped his guitar and the band went off.

"Afiq, is this the time where we cheer for an encore"

After awhile, they came back on and but with Matt using an acoustic. For a moment, I thought they would play City of Delusion. But....it was Soldier's Poem.

Then! Starlight! Everyone clapped along to that. Someone recorded a video.

After that, the biggest and heavist and mosh-esque song. Stockholm Syndrome. We headbang to that song like some crazy people.

That was the last song. Matt threw his guitar to the back. I was rather shocked about that move.

Matt "See you next year!"
Dom "Thank you singapore! See you next time!"

Chris, as usual was quiet.

It was an electrifying performance. Every dollar spent on that show.

Being crushed and causing chest pains was worth (but not dying), singing till your lungs shrink due to lack of oxygen, and causing my ears to be damaged temporarily...all in the name of a great show.

The day after the show, my ears were still ringing. Lol.

Here are some pics taken. My camera isn't that good. Hence, the blur pictures. Some of the pics here are taken by other fans who were at the show.


This one was taken with my camera when Soldier's Poem was played. The only chance for me to stay still (at least a little bit).


Not taken by me, I wasn't this far behind wor


Not by me. Btw, nice song Sunburn. Do you see a girl in a yellow tee in the background, well, I was standing beside her


Bought a poster ($10), an the set-of-four badges ($10). Pfft! Wasted money wor.

On the right side, there are some info about MUSE. Click on them - Knights of Cydonia, Hysteria & Map of Prob. Watch watch watch!

Good quality videos taken by Stomp. Each time I watch it, I get high.

My overal review = fuckingly awesome.

When Muhd asked me about the show, I said 'awesome'. Lol. And he said that it doesnt sound convincing.

I was slightly diasappointed that some songs weren't played. But the thing is, every song they have, is good. Hence, everything needs to be played, which is impossible. Hence again, there'll be songs people would miss.

Songs that I wish they played : Sing for Absolution, Thoughts of a Dying Atheist, Assasin, Exo-Politics and City of Delusion.

Click here to see the complete setlist and concert info.

If MUSE came once more, I'd fucking go! Woot.

Herry knows nothing about MUSE. But he went for fun. It looked like he enjoyed it.

Anyway, a fellow MUSE fan recoreded the show with a small mic. The quality was great. No, its not illegal. As far as I know, as long as you don't distribute it for profit-making or commercial purposes, I think its fine.

With that bootleg(a term for recording), I can re-live the moment over and over and over and over again.

It was best night in my life thus far. Singing and dancing/moshing/headbanging to every song. It was so surreal.

Like Afiq said, a dream come true.

Muse isnt about idolising them, its about their talent.

Another good thing is, its very difficult to classify them as a genre. Their music ranges from different genres. At the concert, you can see different types of people - metal, emos, and any normal person who doesnt look like a rocker.

Matt's falsetto voice makes their songs unique. Your money can but his super expensive Mattocasters, but not his falsetto voice.

One last time I'd say...........MUSE was awesome.

Over the next few months, Afiq and I will keep talking about the show.

If I ever have kids, I'll share with them how I queue 8 hours (12pm - 8pm) for the show. Everyone sang along as loud as they could. The 6500 strong crowd sang louder than the 60 000 people singing the national anthem at the national stadium, on 9th August.

Was it worth queueing 8 hours? Getting my ears bad for a few days? Causing my ribs and chest to hurt for a few days? Hell Yeah.

At the end of the show, my polo tee was soaked in my sweat, and other people's sweat. There were alot of girls.

During the show, mineral water was passed down. Everyone shared it. Despite the inconsiderate pushing that could get people killed, there were acts of kindess. Since we were right in front, we had to lift some girls up to the security when the girls were on the brink of fainting.  

It was a true rock band. Woot!

I bought my ticket in early Dec, and waited for a month for this day. I kept my ticket in a really safe place to ensure that I wouldn't misplace it. I'm rather sad that its over. Grr.

Muse > 50-Cent

Btw, I dont feel like removing the countdown on the left leh.
