Any clues as to who else is playing ?

[dentalplan]

This is Luckysalt right now.

[FloorFiller]

Wonder if Incubus might pop up on Muse day, saw them announced for something in Europe the other day I think.

seem like a good sub (they'd still sub, right?) for Muse

I have a better phone than that!

And a better beard!

Just about....

[Matt42]

I'm seriously considering a day ticket for the Muse day...

[Gucci Piggy]

Listening to Survival now and laughing about this.

Honestly think they're not stupid, they know the stuff that a rock crowd wants to hear and will adjust their set accordingly. I'd expect something similar to the Leeds 06 headline set with only a couple off the last 2 albums.

What's the betting Gene declares rock 'not dead' at Download and every festival gig next summer.

I'd say evens. Depends if there's a camera pointed at him. Doesn't matter if it's switched on or not.

Last album has Supremacy, Liquid State,Animals could all get an airing & go down well at Download.

MK Ultra & Uprising from one before would be fine.

Been well publicized they are going for a heavier sound on next album & judging by the festivals they are selecting to play it seems it's true.I'm off to see them at a new German metal festival so you wouldn't imagine they'd choose that without backing it up.

[lightning1000]

I'm not getting excited about them going heavy again until I hear it.

They went so far up their own arses I'm not sure they'll be able to reign in all the grandiose opera shit. Or the electronic stuff that crept in.

[metallimuse]

Loved all of it & watching the evolution of the band but it all goes in cycles doesn't it?They've pushed it as far as they can go & I think this next one they will bring the heavy.I think next one could go all Radiohead & alternative like at the start which is fair enough.

I defo do think this album,as a whole,will be heavy. Like I said,you don't choose the festivals they have selected without knowing you will back it up.They aren't stupid.

[cornucopia]

What is with all this stuff about Muse. They're shit and on a par with Coldplay, Radiohead and U2. So far up their own corporate arses it's unreal.

Bullshit bands that think they're superior. They're not.

Not a fan?

[the wonderwhy]

I think that's a bit harsh on Coldplay, Radiohead and Muse, lumping them in the U fucking 2 and tax dodging Bono. They're on another level.

I find this to be the weirdest download/festival trio ever...

just to throw it out there.

Muse playing download still just feels interestingly odd.

[dentalplan]

Not really. Muse are pretty riff heavy even in their recent output, they've just always been marketed a different way. It certainly isn't like Coldplay, Radiohead or U2 playing - it's more like Foos or Chilis.

In what world are Radiohead 'corporate'?

In the same world where drake headlines t in the park

[devilman]

Muse went shit after Hullaballoo. Origin of Symmetry remains one of the best albums ever made. I wouldn't have them down as pretentious fucks like Bono, Coldplay or Radiohead, they just started making shit music. I suppose that's a bit different to Foos and Chillis who just remixed the same record several ways and released it as renamed singles and albums.

[the wonderwhy]

Arctic Monkeys

Yeah but Arctic Monkeys make good music

Nah, I'm pissed off at, and let down by, Arctics for dodging tax, but normally I like to keep all the politics separate from the music. I make an exception with Bono because he swans around acting like a great guy with all his charity work (which totally isn't just an ego/PR boost...) when he's cheating millions of people out money they need to survive, or the NHS funds for life saving equipment, or schools out of funding for important educational material etc.

Anyway, moving on...

[Matt42]

Muse are fantastic and their riff heavy stuff is fantastic and they probably would be fantastic at download

it's just something I never really saw ACTUALLY happening. Thought it would come close this year but they'd choose something else over it.
