    There is no way Bono will sound respectible after Matt gets done wowing the crowd.

    But you have to hand it to U2...they care more about working with great talent and putting on a great show for their fans then they care about getting embarrassed by the opening act!

    If Muse was opening for U2 in Chicago, I'd have been there. One of my favorite shows off all time was Muse @ Tops Cats in Cincy (4/2004)...such a small little hoel in the wall.

    I dunno..Bono seems to step up his game when faced with adversity :) but Matt WILL blow Giants stadium up!

    Muse is an amazing band..I still haven't heard the new stuff. I just bought the HAARP DVD..amazing. It so makes me want to see them :D
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    Uprising starts off sounding like Gary Numan playing the Dr.Who theme tune, then morphs into a Marilyn Manson song before vaguely ending up sounding like a Muse song!

    so, if you can't stand Muse, then this is the song for you! :lol:

    (i love muse, just couldn't resist throwing a little reenk out there)

    Wow...they've really neutered their sound and dulled their edge. For an album titled "The Resistance", this sounds pretty laid back.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    Well, Muse and Placebo worked their asses really hard to get to every festival and city in Europe multiple times from the late 90's...and they are really good live acts, especially Muse, simply unforgettable and magical, so it was time for them to get really big here without any media campaign!!! I love them since the beginnings andn they have the sound and the melodies Radiohead should have become after Amnesiac...IMHO!!! :twisted:

    I saw U2 with Snow Patrol twice this year but this tour with muse will be a terrific combo, Jeeeeeez!!!!!
    Hopefully American U2 fans will give the respect to Muse they DO deserve!!!

    Following in the footsteps of its new tourmates, Muse has designed a rather elaborate stage setup for its forthcoming world tour. In an interview with Drowned in Sound, drummer Dominic Howard revealed the band has teamed up with designer Ez Devlin in hopes of getting each and every audience member involved in the hysteria.

    “I think we’re going to be doing a few shows where we’re going to have fans all around us,” he explained. “Not in the middle of the room but we’ve designed the stage in a way so that the crowd can fit all around us. Everyone’s going to have a great view and get the whole show, even if you’re sitting behind us, not just the back of our heads. There’s going to be lots of spinning around and stuff like that.”

    Spinning won’t be the only thing involved in the setup. Howard went on to note that the band will also utilize, well, we’ll let him explain it because we still don’t really get it.

    “There’s going to be some good video usage, he said. “We’re going to be on some big moving LED structures, so we’re all going to be moving up and down at different levels and actually playing quite high up in the air, which is something we’ve never done. We’re going to be on these floating cubes of video [Laughs]. Individual cubes, all like moving around. They’re like massive towers and there’s three of them with lots of video.”

    But don’t worry… the carbon footprint won’t be all that bad. As Howard explained, ” It won’t be as big as U2’s tour of hundred and twenty trucks, I think we’ll fit it into about three.”

    Haha maybe being exposed to U2's large stage setup is making Muse think of how to one-up it. Can't wait for the shows with U2...I'm going to Dallas and Houston. I have tickets for Copenhagen and Berlin but will be forced to sell them. They're both standing too. :(
