hyperbaby Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Hi all Been to the arena today to watch the davis cup so it was a good opp to sus out the venue. The arena is quite small compared to the MEN - it's narrow - about two thirds the barrier width i'd say of the MEN so if u want a spot get there early. There are 2 entrances cityside and riverside. It says on ur ticket which u need. The nearest is cityside, u walk round the side for riverside. We were riverside seated and there were no signs for standing there so I'd say standing enrtrance will def by cityside. The box office is next to the cityside entrance. Car Park next to the arena is extremely small so don't bother. Nearest car park i think then is the Liverpool 1 one. But i think it's pretty pricey Last train back to Manc is 23.38 - plenty of time to walk back to lime street, takes half an hour at leisurely pace. With it being across the road from Liverpool 1 and next to Albert Dock there are tons of restaurants and bars around the place. There's a Pizza Express and a bar/restaurant right next to the arena. If u want cheap supplies for the day there's a Greggs in Liverpool 1 opposite the info office. It's a windy spot being next to the Mersey so wrap up, there's no shelter from the rain if ur queuing. If u need any other info let me know - i work in Liverpool and live half an hour away. Oh and weirdest thing of the day - a crappy violin/cello group came on b4 the tennis doing britney and other mixes - the last one they did was james bond theme tune with space dementia mixed in - wtf!!!!
Kannon Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Sounds promising! I am trying to visualise how big I imagine it to be inside. I'm gonna have to go up to it and have a nosey. I've never been inside before. I'm in college on the same day as the gig, unfortunately. But if I isn't important, I wont bother going in. Don't wanna have to take my make up kit into town, and then cart it home, and then come back into Liverpool. That'd suck. I am quite enjoying the album! Was hoping for some more guitar, but ho hum. We can't have everything! Favourite song on it? Undisclosed Desires Anyone planning a meet or anything beforehand? It'd be nice to meet y'all. I don't know anyone else who likes Muse.

I want to go and have a look too..I'm guessing you can't just randomly go in and have a peek can you? I'm rather lucky, I realised, the gig is on a Thursday (week 1 in school) where I have 2 free periods at the end of the day so I can go home after afternoon registration!! GOOD TIMES! I think my favourite song is Unnatural Selection. And maybe MK ULTRA too. Its so hard to pick a favourite though! You mention one, then remember another and consider that. Then think of another. And you continue doing that until you've mentioned the whole album! And then conclude you love 'em all!

And lucky you! I think I might just not go into college 'cause I just know I will end up getting caught real bad traffic. I live about 25 minutes from Liverpool, but I have to go through Bootle to get home. Time stops in that place.

Which I'm sorry, but reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WzJ6z9liRE Haha, Myooze comes first, every time Are you standing or sitting? (I know you've most probably already mentioned it, but I cba looking through the whole thread )
Kannon Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I am sitting. I am a fainter so it's best that I have a seat How about you? And what in Batman's name have I just watched?!

I'm standing! I don't know if I'm a fainter or not. Now is the time to find out! Actually, I have Franz Ferdinand in about a month's time, which is standing too, so I guess I'll find out then too Um. Well, they were on Britain's Got Talent last year And as soon as I saw Matt's keytar, they were the first thing I thought of they made me laugh so much because when they performed on BGT, they did Beat It and the singer tried to kick over the music stand, but then it wouldn't fall, so he kicked it again I'm so immature

How could I forget about them? I've gotta say, it's wrong, but I did enjoy listening to their version I'm now having visions of Matt practicing Beat It on his keytar infront of a mirror, and then having a total brain wave and writing UD.
cheese on toast Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Soooo yeah. Liverpool Oddly nervous. Never been to Liverpool in my life, and the people I'm going to the gig with have got seated tickets. I'm standing, on my own. Ah well, 's'all part of the fun, init?

Lmao, how COULD you forget them?! It's so brilliant! The music stand gets me every time. Heard their 'I Kissed A Girl'? It's also rather entertaining BAHAHA!! Weirdly, the thought of Matt on keytar reminded me of Matt on drums..seen that performance? It's fantastic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oTt8Noi5Rk

Jess: That is so hysterical. I love how he totally misses some of the beats. Why are they doing that btw? I bet Matt is dying to get up and start singing properly.
