In the flags for wembley thread it was asked what people were going to do for wembley, e.g. take flags, wear hats with names on and other stuff

Anyway, i suggested that everyone should take a little white plastic spoon, and that when matt points to the sky (like below) they get their spoon out!!
It would be random as hell, all these little white spoons, and would probably freak them out!! (I was in a random mood when i thought of this)


Some people liked the idea, and i thought rather than pollute the flag thread with offtopic stuff the spoons deserved it's own thread!!

Ok so... so far it's been pointed out that it should probably only be spoons, as sporks and other items of cutlery probably won't be allowed in for health and safety reasons, but spoons may well be!!

Also, it's been suggested that if muse play a 'lighter' song such as blackout, people should wave their spoons!! (Although if you are going to do that can i suggest you don't wave a lighter at the same time and that you watch out for other people's lighters, we don't want melted spoons and the smell of burning plastic!!)

So what do people think? should we take spoons? do you think it will actually work/it's worth it? what songs do you think the spoons should come out for? Etc, etc! Basically please discuss!!

EDIT: For health and safety reasons - Spoons if taken should be plastic and not metal; and spoons only please, no sporks or other items of cutlery!!

Spoon Update: ok for those who will be doing this, and who want to spread the spoon lurve when at Wembley, its probably best that everyone does it at the same time, and to save confusion it should be made simple!! From the comments on both this site and muse.mu, I think its best that the spoons come out on two occasions! 1. when they talk into the mics, e.g. "hello Wembley!", then spoons in the air, and 2. when matt points to the sky (see below if you don't quite get what I mean), at any point in whatever song, which may be new born, take a bow, knights of cydonia etc, then rather than pointing your hand, point your spoon!!

Bringing spoon to wembley poll

That would be hilarious. The guy's would be like, "what the hell?". It would be funny to see on a DVD as well. My only concern is that the band apparently can't see the majority of the audience, according to what Queen's drummer told Dom at some point. Great idea though.

haha oh dear... im going to be giggling about this for days.

I really like this idea, so random!!! I would love to buy the DVD and see thousands of spoons in the air and a look of confusion on half of the audience and the band, that would be hilarious!!

thinking less spoons and more egg whisks!? or spatulars rather odd sight to behold

Didn't coke addicts used to carry around little spoons with them?

just think how sweet it would feel when you watch the DVD and see thousands of spoons being waved in the air, and know that you started the spoons-at-muse-concerts trend

im so gonna take a spoon. its gonna be so easy to spot me now!

that would be sooo random But hella funny, I can see a few people bringing spoons to wave and everyone else just staring and going 'wtf'?

I'm in!

This is a brilliant idea! lol. Most of all I'd love to see/hear the band's reaction to seeing hundreds of little plastic spoons being swayed to the music, haha. You'd have to decide on a specific song to do it on though, make it all synchronized! As someone mentioned before, Blackout would be a good one - they're bound to play it on such a long set.

And to see it on the DVD would be a wonderful little memory. I just want to hear Matt laugh that freaky little giggle of his in front of 90,000 people

This would be so funny!
But i only think it would make an impact if theres thousands of us doing it, so i think you should post on other muse forums fast.
Im in though!

Could give them out there... but I;m not sure how many people would appreciate the genius of the plan!

yes im up for this, ill buy a batch of cheap white spoons on our way to hand out to random people, tell them what the plan is

im up for bringing a spoon! I must obtain one soon.

If I went to Wembley, I'd SO bring a spoon with me. But I'll bring one to the concert in Latvia then ;)

Haha!

I thought you would be alluding to Matt's little spoon obsession during the Muse chat...

Zeppelin01's avatar shows what should be done with the spoons:

Sounds great!

I'll make all my mates bring spoons!

If I was going to Wembley I'd bring a massive 100-pack of spoons from the BBQ section Tesco or something. It'd only be a couple of quid. Even if only 10 of you each brought a 100-pack and handed them out to random people in the queue, and then you all waved them about in the air during Blackout (or whichever song), it'd definitely be noticed

I'll bring along a few boxes to give out to people. I'll even write www.muselive.com on the handle of every one....

Imagine thousands of people waving spoons in the air during blackout... it will be amazing! Warner are going to be so confused when they put the DVD together....

Can someone contact the band so they can ask us to wave our spoons in the air for a song, instead of the normal lighters or phones!

Ooh, good idea. PM-age to Tom Kirk needed there. And seeing as they're actually in Britain soon to rehearse, they'll actually know about it...

+1, that makes it even funnier.

Doesn't this point up an interesting difference between UK and Continental Muse fans? The Italians wore bright pink wigs to the Florence gig; the tea-drinkers here plan to wave some spoons about.

This is so silly, I like it.

On that note, I really want to wear a pink wig to my next Muse gig!


But that spoon idea is awesome, I immediatly thought of the MuseChat

haha spoons at a muse gig??love it!

I'll make sure my friends and I are armed with spoons. And I'll bring a few extra just in case folk stood near me want a spoon too!

I'm in

I'm in

ive still got a massive pack hanging around that someone gave me at reading last year, i'll bring them down

Origin of Symmetry? [/privatejoke]

I'm in.

It's like a mirror!

Question though: plastic spoons or metal spoons?

Plastic, more likely to be allowed in with them.

We can just steal them from the Wembley food kiosks!

Can an admin get in touch with Tom Kirk, or email Chris again!!!

someone should stand out with a huge bag and hand them out as people go in.
