Muse are actually the favourite band of this section tbh

 

Guess you can't rule them out considering sounds like Flo is out so one less option and they came over purely for R&L for 2011 I think, not really my prediction though.

 

Going by Efests latest Glasto piece, I don't think it would have had, could Adele join FF unless Neil thought there was a good chance of FF being there. I'd say if R&L have them then they have had to accept Glasto will as well.

I don't think we'll see a Muse set as good as the one at Download ever again unless they play Download again. £75? No way.

Dude that set goes up there with the very very best I have ever seen. It was unreal. Matt proved to me himself a mighty mighty musician there. The set-list was a belter.

The setlist was miles better in 2011 as it was so I'd disagree. New Born into Bliss it as good a start as it gets I reckon, only matched by the start of Absolution. The only thing that setlist is really missing is Butterflies and Hurricanes and possibly Take A Bow, but you can't have it all. Drill Sergeant, Psycho and The Handler in comparison is woeful! tbf, the only reason they kept Starlight out is because Mercy is basically the same song years later.

 

Not even close to worth £75 now.

Please don't ever retire from this forum.

Drones in full... no (I know you were joking)

Muse... why not, been a while & 1 (or 2?) albums since

Can we rule out Coldplay? Can't ever see them ever wanting to or being asked by R&L to play.

 

Absolution in full is the only thing that'd get me back to a Muse gig now tbh and yes I know it was a joke.

 

Yeah we can rule Coldplay out. Muse return to R&L quite regularly and with lack of options a 5 year gap is decent enough.

Did 2011 suddenly get into the future or didn't you read what I wrote? Were you at Download? It wasn't just the set list, it was the way they played it. The first half was immense, That includes Psycho which is great live. They'll pop it up again for future gigs and it will be shit. T in the Park 2004 was the ultimate Muse gig. Unfortunately I was in a desert smoking myself half to death at that time.

I keep trying to stop posting but there's always some awful shite I can't help but respond to.

 

Been two albums since Muse last played. Shame that if they do play I'll be hoping they play nothing from those two albums, but still.

Kinda strange to start headline set with 3 songs off your latest bullshit album.

If you don't like what a band plays you won't won't find it the beat they have played, if you do you will.

 

somewhat true, although i've come to love songs i once disliked after seeing them live - sometimes songs come to life in a live environment (Psycho, for instance, i can imagine being one of these - bullshit on record, but i bet it goes off live)

although obviously yeah, a setlist jam packed with all your favourite songs is always going to be a winner. very glad i got to see Muse on the BH&R tour. apart from stuff like Starlight (which to be fair i loved at the time) there wasn't a bad moment

Yeah I liked it at the time but over time it's worn a bit. It's a bit like me going to a Linkin Park gig now and I loved them religiously and saying it's the best they've played when I feel half the set wouldn't be for me/I don't like what they are doing now.

Pyscho I think is a terrible record and Dead Inside is up there with the worst they have ever done.

Psycho's a banger live but it's a rancid song.

Why would anyone bring up liking Linkin Park in any kind of discussion and expect to be taken seriously afterwards? Horrid.

Purely because I was giving an example based on someone I liked in the past to relate to.

Regardless of what you think of LP, you can't dismiss they had a previously very relevant place in their field of music producing one of, in my opinion the best album in the nu-metal perioud we'll go for and it's stood the test of time. A very successful 2nd album too, I personally enjoyed M2M too but then nothing majorly stood out. See, I can openly say and admit this and I know I wouldn't enjoy it as much live as some of it has been played the last time that I went and it kind of passed by.

There is no getting past the fact, it's not even an opinion that Muse' last 3 albums aren't even close to those 3 mentioned with some utter tosh on them so that's partly why I used them. Beings that devilman is a big Muse fan too.

Kanye wouldn't be a bad shout, actually. Reading and Leeds seem to like booking headliners the year after they've headlined Glastonbury. Metallica, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Kings Of Leon and The Killers all case in point.

Presuming that rawaudio is correct about Flo not being at R&L, one of FF or Kanye is very likely to be there, and I'm goong to stick with FF.
