I love Muse, but I think they’re more flattered than altruistic with having The Warning and Royal Blood as openers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm Interesting 🤔 I think the title track is good also 😎 EP, Bet you’ve never heard of the band It Bites ? 😉 ( I don’t think they had any real success/fame outside of the UK ) I think you’d quite like them perhaps 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to listen to a version with all the extra tracks, the extra tracks are not like other band's extra tracks on reissues. TULL did loads of great songs that were on EPs or singles or just didn't make the album and most of them a great too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once saw Devin Townsend (acoustic guitar set), Dance With the Dead (heavy anime video game style music), and '68 (a glitch-punk duo) open for Avatar. The only thing the four acts had in common was that they all played guitar. I love '68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After The Warning opened for Muse in Mexico, Matt Bellamy personally invited them to open in Europe. The tour with Royal Blood had already been announced. But Muse was so impressed with The Warning they wanted to add them to the tour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t excuse the very well established openers we got in Chicago. Granted, I loved both of them, but you know, they’re not exactly up and coming. But yes that is sick that they invited The Warning to open for them in Europe on the strength of those shows in MC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did know "Little Lies," which I adore. You don't know Seven Wonders or Everywhere? Those songs were pretty big too. My mom had this on cassette back then. Seems like she always had it playing in the car for about a year whenever I would go somewhere with her. Since I was a kid that was pretty often.
