Analysis and Explanation

Megalomania was first played in 2001 on the Origin of Symmetry Tour with it continuing to make regular appearances throughout 2001. It got a few plays the following year before getting dropped in May 2002. It wasn't played again for 6 years until the 2008 Royal Albert Hall gig where it was played on the massive organ featured in the hall. It was played a handful of times in 2011, the most notable of which being at the Reading and Leeds gigs where the band played Origin of Symmetry start to finish to celebrate the albums 10th anniversary, before getting dropped yet again.

As it stands it looks highly unlikely the song will be played live again, likely due to the song's difficulty; though it was a setlist option for the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by-request show, indicating the band haven't given up on the song yet.
