Muse Roll Call
Originally posted by redsock:just caught this… funny. But it was meant to be a roll call first, me begging for tickets second.
Ok, so it's a week away, but I need to…
…post in the proper forum for ticket requests.
Better to start early. So who's going?

I'll be there and am very much looking forward to it!
Re: Metro. I've attended many, many concerts at the 9:30 Club and I've almost always taken the Metro. I've never had a problem walking to or from the Metro station. It's only about a block away and lots of other club patrons will be walking in the same direction. For what it's worth, most of the concerts I've attended at the 9:30 Club have ended closer to 11:40 than 11:30. The last Green line train to Greenbelt is ostensibly at 12:21am, but it's almost always about 5 minutes late. If you're going towards Greenbelt, you should haven't any problems at all catching the Metro. Indeed you'll probably end up waiting at the Metro station about 20-30 minutes, so you might want to bring a good book. If instead you need to catch the Green line train to Branch Ave. in order to transfer at Chinatown or L'Enfant Plaza or Metro Center, for example, then you need to be a lot more careful. You might want to skip the last song of the encore, for example, or at the very least move closer to the exit and be prepared to sprint to the Metro station. I think the last Branch Avenue train is at 11:48pm (double check the Last Train sign at the Metro Station before you leave!), but it's often a couple minutes early. I usually see a half dozen people or more get stranded at the Metro station following a 9:30 Club concert nearly every time. Moral of the story: If you're coming to DC from out of town and then taking the Metro, park at the Greenbelt station instead of some station on the Red or Orange lines, for example. See http://www.wmata.com/ for more info on train schedules, etc.

I'm going…no extras though. Can't wait to see them headline for a change!!!!!!!!!
Bring on the Zutons! :)
Seriously, between Muse/Zutons and Interpol/Secret Machines… These are two very strong shows back-2-back.

Yikes - I forgot this is show is this coming Monday. I'll be there.
I'll be there intently watching the bassist. I've had a blast recently trying to master the basslines from Absolution.
thanks for the info darth.
yup, im taking the red line back, so i guess i'll have to miss the last song, which im ok with if it's stockholm syndrome, which i didnt really dig. If they finish it off with Hysteria or blackout or plugin baby, ill bereally pissed though.

Originally posted by redsock:You're right. When I have extras, I look in the band threads first to see if there are board regulars who need tickets. If not, then I head to the Tx requests…

I'm going. It's been 16 days since I've been to a show anywhere….pretty astounding!! So, of course, there are 5 next week (if you include WSC on Friday…)
i can't believe how many people are desperate for tix to this show…is hfs playing the shit out of this band now? if so, ugggggh! now we'll be surrounded by meathead hfs listeners that are lucky to go to one non-hfs sponsored concert in their lifetime (with the exception maybe of ridiculous woodstock rip-offs). i can't wait for this show though. just hoping the audience isn't filled with assholes.
Originally posted by joz:Get over yourself, hon. Be happy for the band. Besides, who cares how those attending the show got into the band? Muse sold out a venue, which means they're likely to return to DC in the future.
just hoping the audience isn't filled with assholes.
'Tis better to be a music evangelist.

also, expect this set to be Absolution loaded. if they play 15 songs, i expect half to be from their new disc.
Originally posted by joz:joz my boy. please remember that Muse is a HUGE band in Europe. And to my best knowledge they have never even played a show in DC. Though i heard they were a opener for RHCP in 2000, i have lived in MD for most of the time Muse was a band, and have been a fan from the release of Showbiz….and i didnt catch them live until Coachella this year.

other than Curiosa and possibly seeing them open for RHCP…this band hasnt ever been in DC.
a huge band like this, finally playing DC…wow.
most people in America…even thier biggest longest fans…have probably never seen them.
this show is going to be total rocking energy.
so dont stand near me, cause i am gonna jumping and dancing like crazy. (ask rob or redsock!)

Though i heard they were a opener for RHCP in 2000, i have lived in MD for most of the time Muse was a band, and have been a fan from the release of Showbiz….and i didnt catch them live until Coachella this year.i am well aware that they're really big in Europe. in fact, i also saw them at coachella and heard of a few people who actually flew all the way from tokyo to see them in cali….that's devotion to a band.
other than Curiosa and possibly seeing them open for RHCP…this band hasnt ever been in DC.yes, and i'm very excited that they're finally playing also…i saw them at curiosa and, in general, the crowd was very cool. my friend (k8teebug) on this forum was at both coachella and curiosa with me and she did have a run-in with a couple of frat boys at the curiosa show…not sure how they made it to the muse stage but whatever. i'm always hesitant about hfs-sponsored shows though. i didn't mind listening to hfs back in the late 80s/early 90s and i actually ended up going to one hfs-sponsored show (snowjob at ski liberty in pa) but only because i was there to interview the bosstones and bloodhound gang for my college radio station. i'm happy muse is finally getting airplay but hfs (the true alternative…yeah, right) and a lot of its listeners annoy me.
a huge band like this, finally playing DC…wow.
most people in America…even thier biggest longest fans…have probably never seen them.i'm happy to share the floor with other big muse fans, especially those who will be seeing them for the first time…and don't worry about the jumping/dancing as I will be doing the same…while trying to keep my heart from exploding. (does anyone else feel that way when you hear matt sing live? just wondering.)

Did I ever tell you about this guy I went to college named John Muse?
He used to go around campus all punk rock with a mohawk and black clothes, spouting lines from the Rocky Horror Picture Show as if he had made them up. He would grow his mohawk in at the end of each semester when it was time to go home to his ricg parents in the Hamptons.
Meanwhile, he had the nerve to call me a "poseur" because I'd wear combat boots one day and penny loafers the next.
Last I heard of him, he had dropped out of college, was running a landscaping business in the Hamptons, and was picked by the local paper as a "blue collar hunk". But then he got fat and lost his hair.
