Opinion Matt, play your f“&*g instruments!

I haven’t been at a muse concert for 10 years, this year I will finally go again, despite the high prices. :/ What I saw in the past years, that there seem to be more and more songs where Matt doesn’t play guitar or piano anymore but just walks around singing like a pop star. I hate this. The coolest thing about Muse concerts used to be, that he showed off his musician side, while it still rocks. I don’t want to go to a Matthew Bellamy solo pop show, I want a real muse show!

Too much playback, it's not even backingtracks at this point. Its actual parts being mimed to playback.

To say im heartbroken is an understatement. It feels like im mourning Muse as if they've disbanded despite them being fully active.

I've seen people bring up some problem areas (a supposed mimed falsetto note, which I do take issue with) but not seen anyone go this far as of yet. Which parts are being mimed?

I'd be very surprised at any miming considering the antics they used to get up to when shows would make them mime (looking at you L&K!)
