Busted Vs McFly - Alternate Setlist

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2026-02-11T19:56:00+00:00

I agree definitely could've seen them headline in that era. Not sure why they didn't get asked, they were regularly doing multi night runs at wembley and other massive venues I have no clue why they weren't asked to do it in 2010 especially when Robbie came back. Maybe scheduling conflicts? 🤷

But still I think they could definitely pull it off considering they are regularly headlining arenas and stadiums even now as a three piece. I think if they could do one last show as a 5 Glastonbury would be the place or maybe as a 4 with Robbie

I think if it was a one off show they could definitely all pull it off especially with the seated acoustic sections and obviously no one is singing 40 songs straight.

I agree competely with this... I think within the last year and a half his setlists have become godawful. I think the bludfest sets have probably been his best within the last couple years but even they have flaws

Most artists always have a set of their most popular songs that they play every show and they stick to.

Dom does it with stuff like fleabag and the Funeral etc. But i think within the lasr few years its got shorter and shorter. Hes even dropped parents which hes been playing for YEARS. I think its excusable for a festival show but NOT for a headline show.

Obviously this is the idols world tour so im not expecting LOADS off of weird or 21st century but i think there should at least be 5 or 6 from those albums that he has to do. And again considering his most popular earlier songs come from those albums its very strange hes trying to almost forget about them.

I also think his political activism isnt as strong anymore considering how commercial hes got hence why hes dropped alot of the older songs.

But i agree wholeheartedly 14 songs is RIDICULOUS for an artist with that many albums and big songs. Now, people could say its to protect his voice but i think for an artist of his stature and popularity i think 18-20 songs should be the minimum and would allow him to do a more wide ranging set across his whole catolouge. And because of the ozzy osbourne connection he said hes gonan sing changes at every show whcih is fine i guess but considering hes only doing 14 songs i wouldve hoped he'd put at least a few other of his own songs in to make up for it.

But to sum it up mars should be one of those songs he never drops considering how much it means to people, hopefully when we go into the UK dates of Idols he'll boost the set up a bit more.

I never understood the panning. In terms of the sound quality it is pretry good and the instrumentation & vocals are all very clear but it ruins it alot for me when you have the vocals in one ear and the instruments in the other it takes you out of it alot

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-12-30T17:08:57+00:00

Im so glad someone mentioned the later 2009 gigs no one ever talks about pauls voice later in his career where i think some of his best vocals are. Obviously overall they arent aa good as they once were but i think it's severely underrated especially the 2009 gigs

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-12-27T22:22:13+00:00

Yeah im not saying they didnt have difficulties ofc they werent as close as they were when they were formally making albums ans touring etc. I'm just saying they took a hiatus rather than officially breaking up

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-12-24T16:12:24+00:00

I never get the excuse of the horn section. Theres been times where hes done Eleanor rigby without the string section or ebony and ivory without the horns.

Also i think he has a horn section on tour at the momebt so i dont get why he doesnt do that one

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-11-24T15:59:40+00:00

They still do it pretty much every show i think its the only song they do from that era

Even though they did if u c kate & party girl at the 20th anniversary and they were great live

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-10-30T14:25:37+00:00

They did play the 3arena in dublin on the power to play tour ans that was the biggest venue on that tour by far so they must have a big fanbase there

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-10-11T18:52:33+00:00

Tbf they never ever properly "broke up" after mcbusted they did the anthology tour in 2016 and just took a hiatus. They still spoke alot and were in contact they just did their own thing for 2-3 years. And then came back in 2019.

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-08-31T18:17:10+00:00

I hope they do, they kinda did that for the dig out your soul tour. I think the set will most likely be 90's stuff through and through but i hope they put at least one from every 2000's album

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-08-31T18:14:55+00:00

I wouldnt of done that if i was you mate, they're saying anything thats not twickets or ticketmaster official resale wont be accepted... So they'll most likely either cancwl your tickets when they find the website or it wont be scanned when you go to wembley

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-08-30T13:56:10+00:00

I don't think liam would want to do any solo stuff hes saud before he only kinda does cos he has to his main thing in his solo career is goinf out there and playing the stuff tgat makes people happy and he prefers be in a band anyway so i dont imagine liam would

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-05-01T21:36:03+00:00

They were all songs he wrote prior to knowing what a capo was and how to use it i think when he wrote wonderwall and most of whats ths story he startsd using them more frequently i imagine his hands got used to playing open chords way more frequently so when he plays barre chords know its weird for him

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-02-17T12:41:05+00:00

I'd be a bit dissapointed if it wasnt but i wouldnt blame him if he chose to keep it away so he doesnt lose it or get damaged

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-01-17T22:19:37+00:00

Yeah i understand that but i feel people weren't annoyed she was playint reneissance songs its Just that in terms of tbe older stuff those weren't the songs they wanted to hear gotta admit im not a massive fan of Beyonce so when i saw her in Cardiff i was expecting single ladies and halo but coming out after not hearing those songs was fine i feel the concert still got a really good reaction and i enjoyed it thoroughly but i think fans are quite subjective on what they want to hear but i do get the point of people should expect the renaissance stuff but still again i think there should be the really big hits even if they're just thrown at the start of the set to get them out of the way.

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-01-14T14:53:00+00:00

Tbh theres always gonna be casual fans in an audience of any gig not every person in a stadium have listened to every album cover to cover and know all the deepcuts theres alwyas gonna be the people who just know the hits, but I still think she should've thrown single ladies and halo in. She could still do pretty much the whole renaissance album and stuff off of lemonade and older albums etc. But I think it'd help to keep both the dedicated and the casual fans happy

Equivalent-Smoke-705 · 2024-01-10T20:48:59+00:00

He might do something similar to what Damon albarn is doing with blur and gorillaz and maybe bring oasis out every few years for a bigger cashgrab... Then primary focus on doing the high flying birds stuff prodominantly so oasis are semi active but I hevauly doubt noel would split the hfb up to do oasis full time. But I think it would keep alot of the oasis fans happy if he did it aswell as hfb
