Speculation on future gigs/tours

[kueller]

That still doesn't excuse removing the Back to the Future and Terminator attractions.

[maturefan]

Have we already speculated on support acts?

 

Im almost more excited about that than the actual main act

 

I hope they don't have any more rappers. I like rap in small doses but I was just bored when Dizzee Rascal was onstage for 45 minutes before Muse. There were three songs I enjoyed, one at least had a fantastic vocalist (Heart of a Warrior) but the rest was just annoying. There are some great new bands in the UK like Jungle.

I wonder how "Psychological Abuse" will be performed live.

 

It would be great having Chris scream this at Matt and Dom as they walk on stage as an opener, then Matt sings about being abused

I was thinking in a tape, like the Wall Street sound in Animals.

I wonder whether that was scripted or were all the people shouting just told to shout whatever they wanted? I love it, anyway. It's chilling.

Pretty sure they sampled wall street trading floors, not people/actors pretending to be wall street agents.

I'd be okay with Dizzee supporting Muse at every gig they ever play. So much fun.

This is not the controversial opinions thread.

[DifferentPerson]

The most cliche choice of support would be Royal Blood (for arenas/stadiums anyway). I'd be ok with that, but it'd be a bit too predictable. Amplifier supporting them would be epic, and would go down well with Muse fans I'd guess.

[FabriPav]

Oh yeah Amplifier would be ace. ASIWYFA too ofc but that wouldn't work in Muse's favour.

[matthijs]

Amplifier for stadiums please. Then maybe a small Belgian band as first one? Done deal.

[LewisF]

Wouldn't mind Lightning Bolt, DFA1979 would be great too!

[FabriPav]

DFA yes, Lightning Bolt would never fit.

[apoco123]

Dry the River...

[FabriPav]

Dry the River...

Noooo

'Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Bounce! Bounce! Bounce! Bounce'

[matthijs]

Lightning Bolt wouldn't do such large gigs I'm sure. It also wouldn't work.

Yeah it would be but I'd be fine with that and they are probably one of the best support groups a big stadium band could have right now. Marmozets would be fun as well or if they really are going for a more rocky image Rival sons would be cool and a completely different sort of warm up act. I guess the thing is with warm up acts it's generally very difficult to get something that a everyone will like, especially with Muse as it does seem that the fan base is musically quite diverse when compared to a lot of other bands.

Dry the River...

 

Wouldn't mind this actually.

It worked for Biffy Clyro and I liked some songs.

By the time Muse play arenas Royal Blood might well be big enough to play those places on their own merits.

 

Stadiums is another matter. We'll see how they fare when they open for Foo Fighters at Wembley and other venues in the summer.

[maturefan]

I've never heard anything by Royal Blood but so many people have said they're good I'm going to listen to some today.

[heyjackk]

no opening act will ever beat when I saw Muse in 2010 with Biffy Clyro opening, opening acts don't get much better

[ryanp16]

Dizzee Rascal best support ever. Nearly had more fun during him than I did during Muse.

[Dee3Dee]

Dizzee was one of the worst support acts I've ever seen, and I've seen The Horrors and The Big Pink. 45 minutes of stupid fucking bollocks.

Did you not like 'Heart of a Warrior?' Of course, it was only good because someone with a good voice was singing on it. I thought 'Bassline Junkie' was fun. There's a really funny video with it (there are two and the one I mean is with Dizzee campaigning for an election.) There was one other song I liked but I can't remember what it was. The other 30 minutes was total shit. I liked Bastille, though.

 

My kids saw Muse in 2010 with Biffy Clyro. So lucky!
