Analysis and Explanation

The often-maligned Guiding Light appeared on both The Resistance and The 2nd Law tours. Unlike most other non-singles off of The Resistance, Guiding Light was performed several times on the 2011 tour. Though it was not played particularly often, Guiding Light returned for The Unsustainable Tour in 2013, most likely because it was Matt's girlfriend's at the time, Kate Hudson, favourite Muse song. Fans began to deride Guiding Light even more because of this tour and it has not been performed since, likely due to it being completely different from the theme of the Drones tour.

Guiding Light was soundchecked at a few early 2016 European gigs and, alongside Sing for Absolution, Defector and Aftermath, assumed to be up for setlist consideration. Despite this, Guiding Light was not performed live on the Drones tour.
