lol, me being ridiculous as usual

I was assuming u were on about v07, but i don't think muse played there

Nope, headliners this year, only UK appearance apart from Royal Albert Hall

I'm surprised they are bringing out/recording a new album this year. Seems like only yesterday that they brought out Black holes and revelations. Still, if they do, i'm buyin it.

Nah, don't think they are, just live work this year

Probably

Tell me after V08 if they have brought out any new songs

Yeah, I doubt the album will actually be out this year, it seems a bit ambitious even though they've said they wanted to apparently. They'll probably spend the year recording and doing the few festivals etc. I'm jealous of those that are going to that gig they're doing for charity this month.

I would happily see muse again. last time I saw them I got the tickets for only £5!

Was that face value? must have been an early gig if so...That would have been something else. I mean the shows now are really good, but high production values detract a bit from the performance. Muse can get away with it cos they are so damn good live, but I prefer more intimate, raw gigs against multimedia extravaganzas.

Having said that, it depends on the artist. People like Bjork and Peter Gabriel work well with it.

i think it was in sheffield arena, a couple of years ago. The seats were quite far back, but you could still see everything without the screens, and the show was fantastic. Not as coreagraphed as wembley, but still good.

Yesterday I downloaded and burnt to DVD their show at Shepherd's Bush in 2006, that was broadcast on MTV2. Good stuff! I like that they play Citizen Erased, that makes it a worthy companion the new Wembley DVD... and Map of the Problematique is powerful as ever, both DVDs showcase that
