==Description==
First show of the [[Will of the People Summer Festivals Tour]].
An early Muse song about online relationships. The opening guitar riff and melody are simple, but become heavier at the very end.


==Additional information==
== Information ==
The original version which featured on the ''[[Muscle Museum (EP)|Muscle Museum EP]]'' under the name "Instant Messenger" featured the AOL voice saying "You've got post". However, due to legal pressure from the aforementioned company, this was removed for the single version and the song was renamed "Pink Ego Box".


==Live==
Announced on May 26th, 2022, Muse headlined the 2022 Rock am Ring and [[Nuremberg Zeppelinfeld 2022 (gig)|Rock im Park]] festivals together with Volbeat and [[Green Day]]. This gig took place on June 4th, 2022 and was the seventh time that Muse appeared on [[Rock am Ring|Rock am Ring festival]], and third headlining it (last was in [[Rock am Ring 2018 (gig)|2018]]). According to Matt, Muse were supposed to play at Rock am Ring in 2021, but they couldn't due to the pandemic. Because it was the 20th anniversary year or Origin of Symmetry last year, the band decided to bring Citizen Erased "back from the dead".


No video recordings have surfaced of this song even though one video bootleg of the 07/12/1999 gig exists (the owner is too greedy to share it and it is likely the public will never see its release). It is unlikely Pink Ego Box was ever performed more than fifty times, but it is believed to have been performed at least twenty five times (at the minimum).
[[Will of the People (song)|Will of the People]] and [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or Be Killed]] were given their live debuts. [[Nishe (song)|Nishe]] was played for the first time in 11 years (and the first time on guitar since 2008). [[Behold, The Glove (Matthew Bellamy song)|Behold, The Glove]] (previously known as STT Interstitial 2) was also played in full for the first time, and live, with Matt playing a synth solo on a custom-made pad/screen installed on "The Power Glove", previously used as a prop on the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]] in 2019. The glove is also used to play the intro of [[Uprising (song)|Uprising]]. The setlist, which was leaked on Twitter the day before the show, also lists all songs which will be rotated during the tour.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/v46qd7/umm_can_we_expect_this_tomorrow_then/</ref>


[[Pink Ego Box (live) | More here]]
Rob Damiani, lead singer of Don Broco, was present at the show.


==Music trivia==
== The Show ==
At 0:24 on "Instant Messenger", an automated woman's voice can be heard saying "you've got post".


Also on "Instant Messenger", [[Paul Reeve]] provided backing vocals.<ref>''Muscle Museum EP'' insert</ref>
Pyro (fire) was used throughout the show. This also included a burning "WOTP" logo during the first song, with the band wearing the "masked hacker" masks and hoodies throughout the song, portraying the figures seen throughout [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]]'s album videos and artworks. A large inflatable "masked hacker" figure was set up on the stage, revealed during [[Won't Stand Down (song)|Won't Stand Down]]. It's very similar to [[Murph the Robot]] from the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]], however it's alot bulkier and made up of three separate parts; Two arms/shoulders, and a head, attached to trussing, rotating left and right slightly.


According to Matt, the name of the song is taken from the name of Muse's old tour bus.
Also similar to the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]] was Matt's LED jacket, worn after [[Behold, The Glove (Matthew Bellamy song)|Behold, The Glove]], and The Power Glove, which Matt played the song's synth solo on.

Hullaballoons were released during [[Starlight (song)|Starlight]]. Streamers were released during [[Compliance (song)|Compliance]].

First show of the Will of the People Summer Festivals Tour.

Information

Announced on May 26th, 2022, Muse headlined the 2022 Rock am Ring and Rock im Park festivals together with Volbeat and Green Day. This gig took place on June 4th, 2022 and was the seventh time that Muse appeared on Rock am Ring festival, and third headlining it (last was in 2018). According to Matt, Muse were supposed to play at Rock am Ring in 2021, but they couldn't due to the pandemic. Because it was the 20th anniversary year or Origin of Symmetry last year, the band decided to bring Citizen Erased "back from the dead".

Will of the People and Kill or Be Killed were given their live debuts. Nishe was played for the first time in 11 years (and the first time on guitar since 2008). Behold, The Glove (previously known as STT Interstitial 2) was also played in full for the first time, and live, with Matt playing a synth solo on a custom-made pad/screen installed on "The Power Glove", previously used as a prop on the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019. The glove is also used to play the intro of Uprising. The setlist, which was leaked on Twitter the day before the show, also lists all songs which will be rotated during the tour.[9]

Rob Damiani, lead singer of Don Broco, was present at the show.

The Show

Pyro (fire) was used throughout the show. This also included a burning "WOTP" logo during the first song, with the band wearing the "masked hacker" masks and hoodies throughout the song, portraying the figures seen throughout Will of the People's album videos and artworks. A large inflatable "masked hacker" figure was set up on the stage, revealed during Won't Stand Down. It's very similar to Murph the Robot from the Simulation Theory World Tour, however it's alot bulkier and made up of three separate parts; Two arms/shoulders, and a head, attached to trussing, rotating left and right slightly.

Also similar to the Simulation Theory World Tour was Matt's LED jacket, worn after Behold, The Glove, and The Power Glove, which Matt played the song's synth solo on.

Hullaballoons were released during Starlight. Streamers were released during Compliance.
