Did u go to the UC with Silversun Pickups? I want to see SSPU so badly, havent gotten the chance when they have been in Chicago.
I love SSPU but couldn't bring myself to pay 50 bucks for an opening band. I'll catch them at the Middle East the next time they come to Boston. I have Swoon spinning on the turntable now.

I don't even like their music all that much but Muse live is amazing.
I've seen Paul McCartney, MMJ, Ween, Drive by Truckers and others put on better shows than PJ. PJ is still my favorite band and when they're feeling it the shows are hard to beat. The two EV solo show I saw rank ahead of most of the PJ shows I've been to also.
This show, another show, a show here and a show there.
Muse is the best live act in the world if you're into lights,lasers, heavy riffs, theatrics and incredible vocal ranges
Pearl Jam is the best live act also but for much different reasons...these 2 shall never cross paths..people who say they hate Muse and they suck, etc are obviously allowed to voice their opinion but excuse me if I completely disagree..if you dont like it thats ok..you dont have too..but to say they arent as good as PJ live without experiencing a Muse show is completely ignorant.
Oh and btw...they are each headlining one night at a German festival this summer...both bands seem to think very highly of each from what I hear
Oh...and if you consider Matts voice "whiny" then you should go and talk to a voice coach...they will set you straight..Matts voice is one of the most clearly defined ranges in the history of rock..this is fact
i saw muse at the tdbanknorth garden. i haven't listened to them before this concert but some i've heard through radio/rb/gh stuff so i wasn't going in blind and i like the concert a lot. thinking about it now i don't think all the stage stuff was necessary but cool nonetheless. i wouldn't agree that they're better than pearl jam live though
In all fairness, Muse and PJ have different styles. Everyone who listed their "better than PJ live" bands seemed to be in similar categories. And were mostly old, traditional bands. Muse's whole show is indeed a show; everything is coordinated, planned, and executed brilliantly. Pearl Jam has more of a raw style, bringing it back to the basics. You will never see a spontaneous set list switch at a Muse concert. You will never see Pearl Jam destroy every track beautifully like Muse can.
NEWSFLASH: Eddie cannot sing the first three PJ CDs anymore. It's just the truth. Obviously Muse isn't as old but Matt Bellamy can sing all of his songs beautifully, across keys/pitches, and hold long, powerful notes. It is awesome. Lord knows I love Eddie to death but his vocals cannot hold a candle anymore. He can still sing but the power is gone. I don't care if you like the way Bellamy sings or not, if you can't admit his vocals are better musically than Eddie's today than you obviously have a strong bias.
NOW after I have raved about Muse for a bit... here are the negatives. Their show does not change much. I saw them twice this tour, once in Italy and once in Baltimore, and it was 90% the same. Now, it was still awesome, but the variety is slim. They switched a few tracks and that was it. Lights, video projections, most of the song order, all the same. I still liked it, but show #1 was epic and show #2 was above average. Pearl Jam you get 60-75% the same I would say, plus lots of priceless Eddie chatter. The declining enjoyment from multiple shows is a much slower pace with Pearl Jam than with Muse. If I could draw a graph, with multiple shows across the horizontal axis and enjoyment (0-100) on the vertical, Pearl Jam's curve would start at 80 and decline slowly, while Muse's would start at 95 and plummet.
Summary:
Better overall show: Muse
Better "live" (spontaneous, less planned) show: Pearl Jam
Better Vocals: Muse
Better Show to Attend Multiple Times: Pearl Jam
The rest depends on preferences.

everything you just said, i agree 100%. i am so happy to find other people FINALLY admitting that ed's voice blows ::cough::quit smoking::cough::
i have gotten shit on a LOT of times on here for my liking and praising of muse. they are by far the most amazing band live. but like you said, they do not diversify their shows so its pretty much a one and done per tour for them, whereas i like going to multiple pj shows to get a wide variety of songs. oh...and i am gutted i couldnt catch muse with silversun pickups (another one of my fav bands) this year...
Muse is the best live act in the world if you're into lights,lasers, heavy riffs, theatrics and incredible vocal ranges
Pearl Jam is the best live act also but for much different reasons...these 2 shall never cross paths..people who say they hate Muse and they suck, etc are obviously allowed to voice their opinion but excuse me if I completely disagree..if you dont like it thats ok..you dont have too..but to say they arent as good as PJ live without experiencing a Muse show is completely ignorant.
Oh and btw...they are each headlining one night at a German festival this summer...both bands seem to think very highly of each from what I hear
Oh...and if you consider Matts voice "whiny" then you should go and talk to a voice coach...they will set you straight..Matts voice is one of the most clearly defined ranges in the history of rock..this is fact
hang on this IS a pearl jam site is it not. sorry i keep getting told i put things on the wrong board well this is not a mussssssseee board and im bored with mmmuuussseeee .
ya good bandish but DONT DONT compare them with pearl jam out of fucking order and please dont think that Eddie vedder is pearl jam any pj fan will tell you pj is the band not one very talented man .
plus you dont seem to like the FACT that pj HAVE been going for 20 years well lets hope mmmuuussee keep going for that long other wise it would be a shame for music.
BUT dont slate pearl jam go and do it some where else old son . :twisted:
morning :P
Their lyrics seem very basic, uncomplicated and bland, particularly when comparing them to Radiohead or PJ.
have you listened to Backspacer?
F YOU!
Backspacer is my favorite pj album its the best
I have to agree with the original poster, lyrically it just is not as strong as other Pearl Jam albums.
And I love Backspacer too, but even if I do, I can realize/see that.
I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream... If I knew where it was I would take you there.

:wave: hi mike! glad to see you here!
You too sunshine...which PJ shows you going to this round? Im in San Diego on business...I MAY be making a detour in Texas on Thursday for a Muse concert
I just saw Muse on Friday night at the 'secret' show at SXSW. I should say that it was my first time and only have been enjoying their stuff for the past year or two. Still - as much as I was looking forward to the first live experience with them, I just wasn't that blown away. They can't touch PJ or Radiohead shows that I've seen. It was fun, and seeing a band that can fill wembley, MSG, etc in a ~1400 person venue from like 10 ft away is not something I'll forget anytime soon...but still...just not as good.

I saw Muse last night at Wembley Stadium, London. It was definitely one of the best live shows I've ever seen. Comparing them with PJ is a bit pointless, they're both completely different bands.
Your opinion. Until I have seen Muse live I'm not in the position to agree or disagree with you. I like Muse's music, and have 3 of their cds. Fascinated to see how they reproduce what they come up with on record live on stage. Surely they use other musicians as well as themselves? I've heard mixed reports about them live, but would like to see them in the future. Prefer PJs music though.
nope. it's just the three of them on stage. unless you count the guy doing some technical work with the sound (i don't consider him a musician, though). matt bellamy owns the guitar. i bought their haarp cd not too long ago and it's one of the best live cds i own.
ps i am aware that there are trumpet players on stage during this video...
Now I that I have seen them, my opinion of them has changed, definitely for the better. I've seen a lot of bands over the years, but they are simply phenomenal live and would have to be right up there for the best act I've ever seen. Didn't think I'd ever see a band I like nearly as much as PJ but in all honesty I'd have to admit that they give them a run for their money. And imo, they run rings around U2 (who I saw back in '06). Can't believe 3 guys can produce such a wall of sound, and if theatrics and a magnificent light show are your thing then they've got it over just about every band on tour today. Yes, they play with extra guys on stage but not for the whole show. I'm now heavily into them, and have bought all their cd's within the last couple of weeks, including Haarp which is amazing. And to agree with the above poster, Bellamy's got an incredible voice and can play guitar (and piano) with the best of them. They seem to cop a lot of unjustified flak from people who've never seen them live. Imo, the three of them would have to be one of the tightest units on this planet and are one of the best live bands around today.

you do know MUSE use backing tracks when they play live right?
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
You're welcome to your opinion. Opinions make debates what they are. I know they use backing tapes but I wonder how much. Queen did too. I don't really care. Still like the sort of music both bands have come up with, and enjoy the live experience. Saw Queen years ago in the 80s, and have always been a fan of theirs. I still think I'd like Muse without the theatrics, cos I think their music's great and they do it well live. Kinda like Kiss without their makeup, apparently they were still hot live without it (not that I ever saw them, I'm just using them as an example). I agree with what Nuffingman says, though. Comparing PJ and Muse is pointless because they're so different, I'm just happy that such bands exist cos they're so much better than half the crap coming out today.
i aimed my backing tracks comment at your wall of sound comment. sure there are places where morgan nicholls would pick up the slack, reducing the need for backing tapes... but there are places where even he cant compensate. and dont get me wrong, i am a fan of MUSE, though admittedly lately theyve lost me a little... and personally i dont care if MUSE, or any other performers for that matter, use backing tapes. i was just acknowledging their use and their contribution to that wall of sound.
hear my name
take a good look

Mike and Stone provide more than enough guitar action. Even if Mike didn't play his jumpin around is entertaining as hell.

Imo, the three of them would have to be one of the tightest units on this planet and are one of the best live bands around today.
you do know MUSE use backing tracks when they play live right?
