== Analysis and Explanation ==
== Analysis and Explanation ==
Assassin, alongside Exo-Politics, made its debut on the 2005 Campus Invasion Tour, where it was performed at all but two gigs, sometimes as the opener. These 2005 performances are treasured and the only time live that Matt has sung the Grand Omega Bosses Edit. By 2007 the band had played the song a moderate number of times before dropping it from setlists after July 2, 2007. There are notably fewer 2007 performances as perhaps the band grew tired of the song by then. During The Resistance Tour in which the band asked fans to select songs they wanted to hear, Assassin made the top five most requested songs during at least nine gigs. Muse did not play Assassin during The Resistance Tour or The 2nd Law Tour.
Assassin, alongside Exo-Politics, made its debut on the 2005 Campus Invasion Tour, where it was performed at all but two gigs, sometimes as the opener. These 2005 performances differed from the album versions, mostly notably featuring different drums, lyrics, along with the heavy breakdown that was included in the Grand Omega Bosses edit of the final song. The song was then given its debut in its finished formed in 2006, and made regular appearances, with the band alternating between playing the album version and the extended version. (The "extended" version was essentially the same as the Grand Omega Bosses version, but with the breakdown played as an instrumental jam at the end of the song instead of the middle). It continued to be played in 2007 but made only occasional appearances before it was dropped in July that year, making no appearances during The Resistance or The 2nd Law Tours.  


On the first date of the Psycho UK Tour some fans barraged the band with outpouring demands to hear Assassin, though the band didn't rehearse it beforehand and Matt couldn't play more than a few riffs from the song. [[Wales Newport Centre 2015 (gig)|It was finally played again]] for the first time in eight years in the following week. Assassin made rare appearances afterwards including a famous performance at the Mayan Theatre though it was never a setlist staple. For 2016 the song has been performed a handful of times mostly due to fan demand.
On the first dates of the Psycho UK Tour in 2015 some fans repeatedly requested the band play Assassin, though the band didn't rehearse it beforehand and Matt couldn't remember how to play more than just a few riffs from the song so it was not played. It was finally played again for the first time in eight years in the [[Wales Newport Centre 2015 (gig)|following week]]. Assassin made two more appearances afterwards that year, including a well known performance at the Mayan Theatre. The song was then performed a handful of times from 2016 to 2018, which included two by-request shows, mostly due to high fan demand. Due to its popularity it was also included as part of the Metal Medley for the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]] in 2019, though only the intro was played.
 
It once again returned in 2022 at the [[ Exeter Cavern Club 2022 (gig) | Exeter Cavern Club ]] gig in April which marked the first time the song had been played in it's original Grand Omega Bosses Edit form (which included the whammy lead guitar during the intro along with the breakdown being played during the middle of the song with the additional vocals) since its early performances in 2005. It was subsequently played at both London gigs in May 2022 and throughout the 2022 Theatre Tour towards the end of the year. It also made a surprise appearance during the main [[Will of the People World Tour]] in Philadelphia in 2023, making it the first time since 2016 that Assassin was played in full in an arena, and only the second time since 2007.

Analysis and Explanation

Assassin, alongside Exo-Politics, made its debut on the 2005 Campus Invasion Tour, where it was performed at all but two gigs, sometimes as the opener. These 2005 performances differed from the album versions, mostly notably featuring different drums, lyrics, along with the heavy breakdown that was included in the Grand Omega Bosses edit of the final song. The song was then given its debut in its finished formed in 2006, and made regular appearances, with the band alternating between playing the album version and the extended version. (The "extended" version was essentially the same as the Grand Omega Bosses version, but with the breakdown played as an instrumental jam at the end of the song instead of the middle). It continued to be played in 2007 but made only occasional appearances before it was dropped in July that year, making no appearances during The Resistance or The 2nd Law Tours.

On the first dates of the Psycho UK Tour in 2015 some fans repeatedly requested the band play Assassin, though the band didn't rehearse it beforehand and Matt couldn't remember how to play more than just a few riffs from the song so it was not played. It was finally played again for the first time in eight years in the following week. Assassin made two more appearances afterwards that year, including a well known performance at the Mayan Theatre. The song was then performed a handful of times from 2016 to 2018, which included two by-request shows, mostly due to high fan demand. Due to its popularity it was also included as part of the Metal Medley for the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, though only the intro was played.

It once again returned in 2022 at the Exeter Cavern Club gig in April which marked the first time the song had been played in it's original Grand Omega Bosses Edit form (which included the whammy lead guitar during the intro along with the breakdown being played during the middle of the song with the additional vocals) since its early performances in 2005. It was subsequently played at both London gigs in May 2022 and throughout the 2022 Theatre Tour towards the end of the year. It also made a surprise appearance during the main Will of the People World Tour in Philadelphia in 2023, making it the first time since 2016 that Assassin was played in full in an arena, and only the second time since 2007.
