yyz98 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Muse is a breath of fresh air amidst the 'music' being shoved down our throats these days. From what I have seen on TV, their stage show is amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 I saw them for the first time on their first leg of this tour... It was amazing, the most elaborate setup for a show that I've ever seen, without sacrificing the music... in fact the setup enhanced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best show I have ever been too. As far as stage set-up/performance went, it tops all so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 (edited) 1) Black Holes 2) Absolution 3) The Resistence 4) Origins Never heard Showbiz...need to get that. A brilliant band....I have yet to see them live (missed my chance when they were a support act for a band I don't remember and they played in Sunrise Florida). I really hope they find their way down into Florida because my wife and I will go anywhere in our home state to see them. I can't stand the Radiohead comparison. Yes they have a similar approach to some songs and the such....but Muse are way more powerful. I loved 2 records from Radiohead...The Bends and OK Computer...then they went somewhere I did not want to go. Just got really drugged out wierd for the sake of being wierd...once they went away from guitar driven songs I had enough. Muse on the other hand is an Epic band with big songs and amazing vocals and chops. LOVE THEM!!! Edited May 5, 2010 by Todem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandalorian Hunter Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 They were on 'pop' radio over here when Abso and Origin were out. PiB and SS were genuine hits in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodys hero Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 QUOTE (Ultra @ Apr 14 2010, 06:01 PM) QUOTE (exciteable_one311 @ Apr 14 2010, 04:50 PM) i really dont care for their new stuff, but man gotta love their old albums Showbiz is a great debut Origin of Symmetry reminds me so much of Rage Against the Machine musically at times and Absolution is just a masterpiece start to finish. that album has so many highlights and climaxes. i love listening to that album in the dark so pissed I missed their tour this year Don't feel too bad. They had to postpone their Denver show and indicated that the make up date will be on October 2nd. I highly doubt that they are going to fly all the way across the ocean to play a single US tourdate in the middle of Autumn unless they plan on putting on a fall tour. I anticipate them coming back to the states later in the year. http://muse.mu/news/article/634/denver-show-postponed/ Yeah and the change of venue sucks. They were supposed to play in a 3000 seat venue. The Pepsi Center is much bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I know this is only a 30 second-clip, but Muse just lost me. Oh, Matt, where did it all go wrong. I blame it on your shameless 'we'll do anything to conquer America' quest. No offence, Americans. Stupid Twilight. I'm going to be raging for the rest of today now. http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2010/05/13/30-se...-video-eclipse/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes me feel better that it was releases solely for the movie's sake. But I still wished it was never released at all lol. Those crappy twatlight movies exposing Muse to the wrong kind of 'fans' IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu93 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I'm waiting until they release the entire song to hear it. Like I've said before... hopefully one or two listeners go back and buy their back catalog. Sadly, the majority will just be all like MUSE <333333 for this one song. Oh well.

bigalfan Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 QUOTE (tick @ Mar 14 2010, 06:06 PM)don't even know who they are. I didn't either until about eighteen months ago...now I'm a fan - especially after seeing them in concert - WOW! It's hard to describe their sound, but they definitely have Queen-type rock opera elements throughout - especially the newer stuff. One of the great things about seeing them live, aside from the spectacular lighting/graphics show they've become known for, is at the end of maybe 5 or 6 songs, they'll go off on a little 1.5-2 minute prolonged 'nasty' jam session that is just great to watch and listen to. Like Rush, they take their music seriously, but not themselves and they like to have fun with it all. ONE OF THEIR HEADBANGERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, coming from the perspective of a long-timer; where's the none of the above option? Starlight is a good song, but it's the worst on BHaR and SHOULD have been dropped for any one of the B-Sides - Easily, Glorious or Crying Shame. To suggest that it's Muse's greatest song, well, that's just absurd. And before you counter with the opinion argument, opinion doesn't even come into it! To say Starlight is Muse's greatest song is wrong. Plain, flat-out wrong!!! Of course, I'm typing slightly tongue-in-cheek above, but I am curious of the reasons you'd consider Starlight their greatest song, above the other songs universally recognised as awesome.

Of course my post wasn't meant to be completely serious... I just happen to really be digging Starlight right now. My favorite song by Muse is probably Knights of Cydonia. I don't think there is a universally "greatest song ever" by any band. I think every individual person has their favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a universally "greatest song ever" by any band. I think every individual person has their favorites. I think you misunderstood me. I didn't claim there was a universal 'greatest song ever' for Muse. Just that those songs that every Muse fan loves are also the songs that would be voted ahead of aforementioned song 90 to 95% of the time. Besides, your question asked if it was the greatest which means we move away from opinions and into the realms of universal acclaim, majority votes and whatnot. Plus, regardless of individual opinion, Starlight isn't the greatest Muse song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) "Invincible" is probably my favorite Muse song right now, and one of their best.... Matt Bellamy owns the guitar in that song and is it just me, or does the beginning of that song remind anyone else of Syd Barrett's guitar style Edited June 23, 2010 by The Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalorian Hunter Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Put simply, nothing gets better than Citizen Erased when it comes to Muse. It's near impossible to put into words how life-altering that song was to my 13 year old self. The riff, the soft part at the end and the effect on the soft part, the lead part, the chorus, Matt's vocals. Gah, everything about this song screams 'Incredible'. That, along with Ruled By Secrecy, gets my vote for greatest Muse song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu93 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Is "Starlight" the greatest Muse song ever? No, but I like it a lot, and it's amazing in concert. Hearing the entire crowd sing it in unision at the show blew my mind. Anyways, I guess if I had to pick one favorite song, I'd pick "Butterflies and Hurricanes". Four others (so I can make it a top five) would be "Knights of Cydonia", "New Born", "Plug in Baby", and "Sunburn", I guess. BH&R is still my favorite album, followed by a tie between Origin of Symmetry and Absolution. However, Showbiz has edged out The Resistance because of the awesomeness of "Sunburn", the bluesy "Falling Down", the spookiness of "Showbiz", and the beauty of "Unintended".
