The only song by Muse that I had heard is Newborn from the High Tension soundtrack. Then I saw them at Lolla last year and was BLOWN AWAY! Immediately got all their music.
My favorite song is either Space Dementia or Hyper Cuts.
On a side note: I was watching 12 Monkeys the other day and saw a few Muse posters in the background.
Was into them a few years ago and was telling anyone who would listen about them. I got a lot of " They sound too much like Radiohead " stuff,and they got dismissed
Problem is, Bellamy's voice does sound like Yorke's
The music really is different, but what can you do?
Anyways , they're great
Never seen em' live though
I'll keep taking punches
Untill their will grows tired
anyone hear the collaboration with Mike Skinner? That guy cant rap...they need someone with a little more venom in his voice to pull a RATM off
Apparently the leaked song was only a demo, and Mike Skinner has pulled the plug on the whole project. And yeah I absolutely agree, he was nowhere near angry enough to fit that music!
Muse is my 2nd favorite band...has been since 1999.
They are truly wonderful live. Can;t wait till they come back to the States.
same here.. on them coming back to the states anyway. i saw them at lolla last year, but from what i hear, it was a pale shadow of what they're capable of. they seemed to have a lot of equipment problems and i dont think their singer/guitarist moved all night. he certainly didnt say a word to the crowd. the drummer said thanks twice. i've never seen a band look so unhappy to be playing a show.
Are there any fans of Muse on the board? I absolutely love them..seen them quite a few times since the late 90's. Wonder if the US will ever truely catch on. The last time I saw them they sold out MSG..hopefully thats a sign of more success to come.
Absolutely adore Muse! Saw them at a festival a couple of years ago............ pouring down with rain, it was! But I didn't care. I was completely captivated.

Muse are amazing, some of the best gigs i've ever been to.. the light show is intense!
I have all the stuff, released, not released, live.. i LOVE them, their my third fave band after placebo and pearl jam =]
Whenever I've asked someone how Muse is live, they've said 'The light show is intense'.
Make of that what you will.
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'

"and what of the songs...?"
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
'We're learning songs for baby Jesus' birthday. His mum and dad were Merry and Joseph. He had a bed made of clay and the three kings bought him Gold, Frankenstein and Merv as presents.'
i really like Muse.. much better than metal shite, put it that way.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

hmm.. i have no problem with MUSE live. sure the light show is great. in fact last time i saw them they used galaga graphics and i just about flew i was so excited(its a thing from the 80s with me). the only song of theirs i take issue with is knights of cydonia and thats cause to my ears its big giant wank.
there are some bands who put on a show and there are some bands who dont. MUSE is one of those bands who imo put on a show.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
I'm not normally a negative poster, but Muse rile me a little, not because of the music but because of some of the nonsense the singer Matt Somethingorother spouts. Thus, I never have and never intend to give them a chance.
I quote:
"My ultimate New Years Day hangover cure is sitting naked on a hard wooden chair in an empty room"
"We just want to destroy the world".
He's just so art college teenage angst... and a bit of a plonker as far as I can tell.
Didn't like their earlier music - I thought Matt had some form of asthma. All that gasping for air....
Then came Black Holes - to me that is a masterpiece. It's so incredible that even after a year I'm continuously listening to it. I just love the way they combine classical music with symphonic, pop and progressive.
Looking forward to 2009's release. If it's like Black Holes I'm entranced.

My personal vote for best British band of recent years is The Doves, Some Cities is one of those few albums that I'd count as a modern classic.
