  1. I'm wondering if Roskilde festival could be an option for 2014. The general message of recent interviews is that they will probably do one European festival, but (if I'm not mistaken) not in the UK. But for an "exclusive" festival appearance outside their home country it would have to be some really big, special festival, wouldn't it? So Roskilde and Sziget are the first ones that come to my mind...

    And then, add some Muse logic: If Malmö 2012 was (would have been) the "Denmark gig", well then, why not do the "Sweden gig" in Denmark? Like, they could cover two purposes (playing an European festival and making up for the cancelled gigs) with one show.....

     

    A festival/gig or two next summer in Eastern Europe seems likely after Matt's comment on a festival in Moscow.

     

    A stadium gig in Denmark (apparently Parken in Copenhagen) "to be announced soon" was mentioned in the first release of stadium gigs, but unforetunately wasn't realised. And when a band play in Malmö but not it Denmark I see it's just as much for the Danes as for the Swedes living in the south.

     

    Roskilde could be a possibility for another festival next year since they last where there in 2010. But I wouldn't think of that as making it up for the cancelled Swedish gigs and I'd much rather travel to Stockholm to get one of their own shows with the pyramid than a standard festival set at Roskilde.

  2. don't know how big Globen is, but i honestly think they should just do an arena gig. even when it will not sell out. After so many cancellations, they need to make up for it. especially because i've seen that there is quite a strong swedish Muse fanbase (i could be wrong, but i was in the queue at Emirates and at my entrance there were like 15 swedish fans there and i've seen a lot more too at the gig)

    So yeah, imo it's time for them to finally play there. it's kinda ridiculous to cancel like 4 gigs? (or was it less or more?)

     

    Malmö Arena's capacity is about 15,000 for concerts, but the upper sections was covered with certains at The Killers' show I went to. I guess they could do a similar thing in Globen and not use its full 16,500 capacity, so there won't be empty seats.

  3. There may not be enough demand for tickets to two full-arena Muse gigs in Sweden.

     

    But I'm sure the reason they chose to include Malmö on the arena tour was due to the fact that Denmark and especially Copenhagen can't offer a proper indoor arena to bands like Muse.

     

    I went to see The Killers in Malmö in March. They didn't a show in Denmark as well and the arena was full of Danes. I'm sure the same thing would happen with Muse.

  4. Would love to hear the conversation between the people who chose the tracklist for the DVD when they discussed it.

     

    I can't find one single decent reason to cut Stockholm and Unsustainable from the Rome part of the DVD, and I won't even start to comment on the CD tracklist.

     

    It's incapability on the highest level and it's a shame when it's possible to be much better with a few changes.

  6. I haven't heard any review of anybody there so only going by the recordings of Muscle Museum and Plug in Baby on youtube, but Reading 2002 looked like a good performance so maybe in the top 5 for the OoS tour? Was anybody there still around on here?

     

    Plug In Baby at Reading 2002 sounds fantastic!

    Add Bliss and it's very good.

     

    But I would've put the four b-sides later or spreaded them out.

  7. Regardless, starlight with no guitar, and as a stadium closer is shit.

     

    Last one I agree on.

     

    I can see the idea of choosing to close with a more mellow and down-to-earth song after such a huge stage- and production show, but I'd still go with an over-the-top song to let people go home with a wow-feeling.
