I want a HUGE groan from the crowd when they play it at Wembley,

Wow you must be so cool!!


The more people say they hate it, the more I want it to be played at every single gig, hopefully forever.

I'd just like to say I simply love the song Escape, it's golden, but

Chris wants to play it more.
Sunburn has been overplayed, they've retired Muscle Museum, Showbiz and Unintended already had their comebacks, and Matt can't sing Cave any more.
So Escape is the only logical choice.

Cave being part of the reason that Escape must be played does undermine the campaign because they've since proved they can play Cave;

and the muse setlist is muse's decision;

I think the band will want to do what inspires them, and I'd rather that than they do requests really, because I think that is what produces the best performance but I'm not criticising anyone for asking for it. It just occurred to me that if they don't perform it, as with any of the old songs, it might not be because they don't care what fans want, but because it doesn't feel right to them. It will be nice however if they realise songs they think are underated are actually popular. I'm sure I'd be just as willing as anyone to listen...

thank you for pointing out the meaning behind the song, it really does seem to fit all the words, and I agree we don't know if&why they will never play it live ever again and we should respect that;

groaning or shouting that kind of thing is a totally rubbish thing to do.

The only songs I like from Showbiz is Muscle Museum and Unintended. The others don't really say me a lot, to be honest.

Guiding Light is soooooo great played live, gives you a break from all the jumping and bouncing between the up-tempo songs

Also it is such a good sing-along-song

Agreed, I was joking :|
I actually like the song and didn't think it went down badly at all at the O2. I just love the way a huge amount of people hate it. Find it pretty hilarious. The same way I think Feeling Good was bloody amazing on the night but I love the way people dislike it because they play it all the time. Call me weird if you like

Oh I forgot to tell you, I saw Kirk when I was down in London and had a little conversation with him and this! He remeber's his conversation with me saying "It'll never get played" and rememebered Chris saying it was his favourite. He has seen this, so he said he'd look into it and into what we've done on twitter and have a word with Chris over it

I'm gonna email all the links today and see how far I can push it

Hi Gem

Thanks for the update. It would be great to get an answer on that either way and if you need help "pushing" it you know we're here. Btw did you get the chance to ask Kirk how many spare megaphone matt has on tour?


btw does anybody know how to tweet a specific post from here on twitter?

Having heard Cave live twice (Teignmouth and London, OBBY!), and had Unintended played at Wembley, it certainly seems likely we'll get another Showbiz track or two at Wembley '10.

I for one couldn't care for Escape though. Let's get...

FALLING DOWN!

Gem is the bestest

Edit: MAKE SURE YOU SEND THIS TO THEM GEM

ShowShow this spoiler

We would say anything
And we would try anything
For Escape to have a presence
On the tour of The Resistance
We're uncontrollable
But we are so lovable
And we just want you to know that we care
I want it live, I want it live again

Why can't we just have it?
Why not on the setlist?
Give Escape that one chance
Please agree with our stance
Oh please do not refrain
We want to hear Escape live once again
It would make us so glad
It would make us so glad

Even Chris thinks it didn’t get enough play
He didn't realize that we were feeling the same way
And we just want you to know that we care
I want it live, I want it live again

We would say anything
And we would try anything
For Escape to have a presence
On the tour of The Resistance
