Other facts

  • The shortest during Era was the Origin of Symmetry one, lasting 19 months, and the longest was the Drones one, lasting 41 months.
  • There are only 4 songs (only 2 by now if we don't include the metal medley*) that had been performed live in all of the eras (excluding the early days), all of them from Origin of Symmetry. These are; New Born*, Bliss, Plug in Baby (this is the most played song live, it could even appeared in the early days), and... unexpectedly, Micro Cuts*. However, if there is an "Origin of Symmetry 20th Anniversary" gig in 2021 (like Bellamy stated in one interview), Feeling Good will join the list too.
