[Hugh Jass]

Could Anita, Denise and their respective husbands not form an ABBA-esque supergroup?

It all sounds a bit more Fleetwood Mac than Abba round their way.

 

Anyway! So, yeah, Adele headlining and all that, ummm, pfff, yeah. *sigh*

Hopefully the husband is called Steve, Scott or Stuart.

The super group could be SAD.

Both of their husbands are called Gareth. I didn't include their names in the original post because I thought it might make things confusing...

Gareth can always look on the bright side. He will be married again and have children before The stone Roses release any more material :-)

Although it probably made matters far less complex for Anita when in the throes of orgiastic passion.

Just looked at the Muse setlists at their recent gigs. It seems only one (sometimes none) song from Origin Of Symmetry has been getting played. I would have absolutely no interest in seeing them if this was the case.

yep, Plug In Baby if you're lucky, pretty much zero chance of anything else

It's Glasto though, surely they'll throw in more of the hits?

think you're more likely to get a few more from Absolution and BH&R than Origin - they seem pretty much done with that album. i seem to remember them saying that their 2011 R/L shows were a sort of farewell to a lot of that material. could be lucky and get Citizen Erased though

'Listening this great job.' Seems legit.

Sounds like Colin runs it.

Except at Download last year we got 4 from OoS. + Dead Star and Agitated, so they're still dipping into the early days stuff.

well they catered that set specifically for Download so were always gonna play a bit more of the riff heavy stuff from Origin - at Glastonbury they have no such problem. they may bring out one more on top of Plug In Baby but i wouldn't be holding my breath when they've got five more recent albums worth of material to pick from

They have been playing Citizen Erased and Bliss reasonably regularly on this tour, to be fair.

It's gonna be like Hiroshima 2.0 when Frank Spencer and the lads stride out and launch straight into Thermonuclear Overexcited Teenager.

think regularly is overstitching it - they've played them on the odd occasion but mostly it's just been Plug In Baby. i'd expect one more from Origin tops on top of Plug In Baby, and zero from Showbiz which they seem to have discarded completely now

[Alan_C]

Basically, they aren't worth seeing anymore then.

The booking of Muse continues to baffle me. I'd consider myself a very casual fan and they are a good live act, but ultimately they are a very uninspired choice of headliner. The fact people on here are upset they aren't playing enough songs from Origin tells you all you need to know really. That album is 15 years old and it's still the pinnacle of their work.

I may see them clash dependent but yeah the best days to see them arw long gone, glad I did a few times over their best period.

[justperfect]

Will they risk flying drones overhead during their set or would they think heavily intoxicated glasto attendees would see this as target practice and try to ground one

[CaledonianGonzo]

This was the order of play the last time I encountered this beat group:

Knights of Cydonia

Hysteria

Supermassive Black Hole

Map of the Problematique

Butterflies

Assassin (extended)

Hoodoo (+piano interlude)

Apocalypse Please (+piano outro)

Feeling Good

Invincible

Starlight

Man of Mystery (The Shadows cover)

Time Is Running Out

New Born

Encore:

City of Delusion

Plug In Baby

Stockholm Syndrome

Take a Bow[/quote]

Was this meant to be one of the good setlists?

[Badlands]

Is it me or do these boards seem awfully quiet considering we're into March now and the prospect of the first announcement in the next month or so?

[gluther]

I would take that set for Glastonbury over what we will likely get. Weird that at that point, I assume shortly after the release of BHAR, they had already given up on the first album.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Dreaded MusePlay Double has put everyone's gas at a peep.

Until someone mentions a vague comment about the Stone Roses playing, at which point the boards come alive with all manner of speculation!
