We Are the Universe (didn't know what else to call it) building up to Uprising is the best gig intro to date.

At the Royal Albet Hall they were introduced by Roger Daltrey, one of the biggest legends of British Music... Wembley the intro was just great... But the new intro looks AMAZING, but I haven't seen it in person yet, so I'm gonna have to wait to vote

I know I'm biased because I was there, but oh well. The JFK Speech was stunning, I saw it in Philly in the states. It was incredibly chilling, and by the time JFK said "what Americans were born to be - free and independent," the entire place was deafened by the cheering, it already felt as intense as any other rock concert. Then everything went red, and the close encounters riff started and the madness ensued.

Edit: And the Earl's Court(s) intro should get a mention.

I love Dracula Mountain, and I think we got Genesis by Justice at Marlay Park and V Fest, I thought it was a good intro.

My all time favourite is "What's He Building" though, but the new one sounds and looks great.

I loved the Marley Park and V fest intro with the building sound and the flashing searchlights, was soooooooo cool. But I thought it was from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

From early gigs: "Hi, we're band called Muse and we'll play some songs". Old good times... Without fucking epic

Abother Tom Waits one. He made it personally for Kaizers Orchestra. Could it get cooler? I don't think so.

Tom Waits for Kaizers Orchestra
Of course followed by Russian Dance.

Ok, off topic. Of those I would say the Hullabaloo one.

I'll wait until after tomorrow night when I'll be able to judge the new one. Anyone have a link to the JFK-one?

Hmm...yeah I checked the V fest intro and it certainly isn't Justice! I'm sure Marlay Park had it though. My memory is failing me

I think the new intro goes on too long, if it was shorter I'd vote for it.

I vote pwoperly for Dance of the Knights into Map of the Problematique, as performed in South America. It sounded totally awesome. DotK into KoC (as at Wembley) is simply not as good in a normal venue, sorry.

I just watched the video for The Resistance tour one.
That one is epic.


Muse @ Scott stadium and John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville,VA.
Best days ever.

An awesome video that you should watch.

I don't know the exact word in English to say it.

But I hear that damn voice in each and every film trailer, it is just so predictable and "over-repeated", makes me sick, I hate hollywood movies, they're all the same, "epic" music, that guy talking...pfftt, boring.

The Uprising one sounded great!! I like it. I prefer the Hullabaloo intro.. and Dracula Mountain. But for atmospheric, i'd choose Uprising.

I said We Are The Universe (arpeggios remind me of take a bow) but, Jupiter and Beyond at Marlay Park was pretty special. A nice creepy build up with the satellites slowly scanning around and flashing...epic.
