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 the only time live that Matt has sung the Grand Omega Bosses Edit. The song was then given its debut in its finish formed in 2006, and made regular appearances. It returned in 2007 but made only occasional appearances before it was dropped in July. The band alternated between playing the regular album version and the extended version during the tour. 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. Despite this, Muse did not play Assassin during The Resistance Tour or The 2nd Law Tour.
On the first dates of the Psycho UK Tour 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 2016-2018, which included two by-request shows, mostly due to fan demand. Due to its popularity it was also included as part of the Metal Medley for the Simulation Theory World Tour, though only the intro is played.
