Muse

[Timmo]

Anyone know much about this band? The snippets I've heard sound interesting, "heavy alternative" sounding with some proggy influences.

I think they're touring in Australia early this year.

[Dr Yes]

They're about the biggest band in the UK at the moment. Sold out Wembley Stadium (90,000) in about 40 mins and added a second date.

They are influenced by many different types of music, but the nod to Queen is strong. Lots of other influences including film scores, classical, dance, pop, hard rock, folk and at times country even. Okay, maybe not country, but who needs country.

The band is a three piece: Matt Bellamy (guitars, vox, keyboards) is the driving force in terms of writing, directing and in many ways playing/stage performance. He's pretty much one of the few guitar hopes that have emerged from these shores of late. Not a great technical player (in the Vai sense of the word) but a keen experimentor. He puts theramins into his guitars and MIDI touch pads as well as using on-board Z-Vex effects to create really wild sounds. The support comes from a great bassist and a pretty good drummer. But it's Bellamy that steals the show I think.

They've a few albums now.

Showbiz -- the debut (I love Cave, Muscle Musuem to bits)
Origins Of Symmetry -- turned a bit more poppy (still love songs like Plug in baby)
Sing for Absolution -- this is where I parted ways as it was a bit too poppy for me
Black Holes and Revelations -- a lot more experimental and yes, maybe even proggy. But I think it's a modern band with a heavy rhythm section and a liking for harmonies/hystrionics.

That's off the top of my head, so apologies for any errors.

Well worth checking out though.

[True Believer]

I'm seeing them on January 24! Can't wait. I've got Black Holes & Revelations (brilliant), Absolution (brilliant), Origin of Symmetry (still getting into this one).

[ANTIOCH]

"Absolution" got me into this band !

[cinderella]

I like them. I know this guy on another forum I belong to and he's CRAZY about them - especially Matt Bellamy. His screen name is Dark Shine Assassin after two of their songs.

[Timmo]

Is this another prog forum Cindy?

[cinderella]

No actually it's a forum for the video game The Sims.

Oh and I love their song Bliss. Awesome!

Well said doctor---i'm seein' 'em in jan07---my 2nd fave band,they have power+soar...great vids too on their amazing site muse.mu

"city of delusion" is song of 06!:xolicon42:

[Ed1909]

"city of delusion" is song of 06!:xolicon42:

I'll have to disagree. "Knights Of Cydonia" is the song of 2006! But maybe my tastes are too obvious!

Certainly, "Black Holes.." is one of my top 2 releases of the year.

A great live band - if you can get hold of the boot DVD of Muse live at Glastonbury 2004, you'll see what I mean.

[Symbol]

I just got a couple of their CDs and I am liking what I am hearing so far.

The song Sing for Absolution from Absolution is awesome. I can't wait to explore more into this group.

They were here in Dallas last September... sorry I missed them.

I am too!

[Timmo]

Supposedly they're AWESOME live.

[True Believer]

Supposedly they're AWESOME live.
Sure hope so, Timmo.

[Yesdaze]

The first time I heard them was by accident - I just happened to be flicking through the channels & they were playing 'Unintended' from Showbiz. I thought it was one of the best/saddest songs I'd ever heard. I don't own every album, but I heard Knights of Cydonia on the radio the other day & loved it immediately.

"Bamboozle?" Festival...strange.

I started listening to Muse about 6 months ago when a regular at one of my Trivia gigs burned me copies of "Black Holes & Revelations" and "Absolution." I am really enjoying this band, and I'll have to look into that Bamboozle thingy.

4 Hours To Go


Entering The Supermassive Black Hoooooooooooole

I MAY BE SOME TIME

[True Believer]

See you around 6.30pm, Peter?

[Timmo]

Keep us posted!

We're seeing 'em in April!

[pedro skychaser]

what is more thrilling? MUSE exploding onstage or the sight of severalThousandStrongMOSH PIT explode on cue...the lads kicked off "time is running out"+ the place went bananas! ditto 4 "plug in baby" + "knights of cydonia"----i've seen a moshpit from the front to back on U2's slane castle show but to to see it in the flesh(and be a part of it on the fringes hahahaha) is amazing---mrsSkychaser was enthralled after having to bear some ranty aussie band---the light show(think zooTV crossed with bowie's serious moonlightTour---was breathtaking---my highlight???

for cryin' out loud-they went +played "city of delusion"*,matt strappin on a spanish guitar+flamencoing 4 all his worth( have the lads from wolfmother seen this?)---strings+mariachi band on tape or somesuch though they had some dude playing keys stage left---maybe theirs a job 4 wakey if our band can't "get it together"-they are wakey's favourite band!

good mixed crowd,young+old...sydney awash with newly bought MUSE t-shirts...world domination pending?? all i'll say is ,with minimum banter,they pull out 1 amazing dynamic THRILLING song after another(matt even does the megaphone+petals in the pocket trick during "feeling good"--

if you can catch opening the new wembleyStadium in june,take it..

best LIVE act in world....

*hadn't bothered checking the recent setlists as they didn't do it last year+
i thought the missing orchestra would be a problem

btw SUPERMASSIVE ROCKED THE HOUSE WITH PROJECTED ROBOTS DANCING
ON THE 2 SCREENS--run to youTube+type in muse sydney to see it! glaciers melting indeed!!

[True Believer]

Well, what can I add to Peter's reveiw? Except to say that it was effing brilliant! The friend I went with, an old progger from way back, thought it was the best live gig he'd seen in decades!

See them if you can - can't recommend them too highly.

[pedro skychaser]

what's the buzz?

spent day telling guys @ work(showing them the youTube clips),the TNT courier(who is a hifi freak)+the dude @ liquorLand about the gig lastnight(he'd gone + seen TOOL)+promising sammyMacTheRockkid i'd take him next time---is a buzz,the buzz,word of mouth that no amount of promotion+advertising can buy(often claimed to be fault of YES management)

if you write thrilling songs+play thrilling concerts round world ,people will come...

[pedro skychaser]

MUSE Vs YES.....

A Sober Assessment.


obviously mattBellamy(bellamy genius, the t-shirts said) can't play as many notes per bar as steve,more like the edge who masters effects...yet there's not a boring second in these songs,they are full of sweeping drama,dynamic shifts+agile drumming/bass...

obviously mattB can't play as many arppegios than rick,though he comes closer...having trained as classical pianist...and had augmented synths anyway...

obviously mattB can't sing with the soaring ease of jon,yet his operatic delivery is awesome,less freddieMercury as is often said,but more davidBowie from such sweeping songs as "wild as the wind"...superMassive is pure bowie to my ears and less franzFerdinand as is quoted...

so you have a daring,widescreen trio with a singing,guitar,keys virtuoso---
and their choice of albumCover art is none too shabby either--stormThorgerson did last couple...they invited 16 different artists for OriginOfSymmetry...

so 4 albums in ,a MAIN SEQUENCE already,no sign of entropy...

timeIsRunningout,superMassive,starlight,bliss,plug InBaby,knights had instant pandemonium,the girls next to us laughed their guts up to knights +pretended to ride horses...prog+humour? yes it is possible

will watch Hullabaloo DVD from paris today,now having seem in the flesh,

still amazing in cold,hard light of day...


they capture the spirit of these following YESSONGS
---------release,release,SiberianKhatru,southside,soundchas er,dreamtime,silentWings

[pedro skychaser]

OH MY GOD HAVE JUST SEEN AD 4 WEMBLEY SHOWS

In the recent ClassicRock magazine(with percy plant on cover) is a full page ad for MUSE's 2 wembley arena shows...and my gawd we aussies know how to build sports arenas*(even not on time or under budget,hahaha),what an arena with a VAST spanning arc holding up roofs...gone are the victorian era twin towers but you londoners now have a state of the art stadium...like the telstra stadium in sydney...so rush out and snap up remaining tix for 2nd show.....16,17/07/07


*aussie construction company,multiplex or some such


gee,just rewatched the glastonbury TIRO,wow,oh to be in england, on a dry+dusty summer's night,st george flags flying overhead,,8000 moshPitters,singing the verses+mr bellamy pirouetting(sic) a little shuffle in a wide arc as he plays the guitar,like a clockwork character only to arrive @ the microphone the VERY SPLIT SECOND he has to launch into the final chorus....ooooooooooo they don't teach that at music school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine thought Muse were the Best band he saw play at this years Jan 19 Big Day Out Festival in Auckland,New Zealand.

They were the best band I've seen since Yes in '04.

[pedro skychaser]

yeah if rick+steve hadn't done the southSide duel in sydney 03, i would say MUSE was the greatest concert experience of my life! its that close!

[MrZuLu]

Man, I sure hope some Bay Area Yesfans show up...

Don't know if it is true or not, but, I heard that Bill Graham's place has great acoustics...

I am planning my journey as we speak...

I heard not better, but fresher!

Maybe, Michael - very different musically to each other. It's hard to compare except energy-wise and engaging-the-audience-wise, both shows did that!

[Symbol]

I think you put yourself on the spot when you said Muse was the best show you had seen since Yes in 2004!! :lmao:

I was just asking for confirmation!

(Hey... I like Muse alot too! Not as much as Yes or IQ, not as much as Porcupine Tree either... but I do like them VERY much!)

I consider myself extremely lucky to have sooo much music that I love!

As far as shows go... I see that Muse puts on a visual one. Tool's show was very visual too.

IQ was very special - I'd loved them for about 3 years and to finally see them live was truly amazing.

Muse are obviously very different but they just put on such a brilliant show, I think that's why I consider them, OK, equally up there with IQ.

walking home in the rain,tired+worndown by work,to be lifted up by discmanning ABSOLUTION is a blessing...to have the sharp cold drops hit+mean nothing as the music swells +lifts...

[Astrall Traveller]

I saw Muse at the tail end of last year, and I have to say it was one of the most amazing concerts I've ever been to! When I first picked 'Black holes and revelations' up last year (a few days before its official release) I wasn't initially keen but it's really grown on me to the point where it's probably my favorite now. It definitely has a strong selection of tracks, and the productions sumptuously wonderful! Most people I know tend to say 'origin of symmetry' is the best, but I find it a bit OTT (amazing for a yes fan). I'd perhaps pick 'Black holes and revelations' up and work from there. If not for anything else than for the last track, Knights of Cydonia!

[Symbol]

I have Origins and Absolution...

I just have to get Balck Holes!

I can't wait for the show on April 15th!

[Jonah]

I have a few tracks that were put onto my PC a while back.
I can't say that I'm impressed with those. Nor the new single, which is being played all the time over here.
BUT, I KNOW I am missing something here because people whose taste I judge are waxing lyrical about the band.
I'm just not getting it though at the moment.

[MrZuLu]

I think I asked this once before but here it is again

Is anyone going to the San Fransisco show on Monday April 9th?

[Symbol]

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Muse at Edgefest last night... for me... the best band of the day. Muse was everything I thought they would be. I will see them again if/when they come back. I hope to see them indoors and as a headliner so I can see a full show.

Funny, the other band whose show I liked... Papa Roach.

Blue October was okay, AFI was okay... My Chemical Romance did nothing for me.

[MrZuLu]

I am having trouble finding words to describe my experience seeing Muse.

They headlined. The light show was in a word "hallucinogenic"


Yes
better get their collective crap together...


...assuming of course they desire to make new music with supporting tour!

just take your time MrZZZ,take a deep breath+explain what it was like for the crowd when the lads launched into "time is running out"...

well Peter, it's like this...

Unless one has experienced LSD25, my description would be incomprehensible...

sorry

I guess I am just an old hippy that went to a concert in The City (San Fransisco)...


just for the record I didn't even have a beer at the show. I wasn't high at all.

$10 for a budwieser is not acceptable

their studio albums SUCK!

Live IS awesome! But the studio albums don't suck at all.

[Timmo]

I've only heard their first couple, and they do suck.

I've been told they really hit their stride with the latest two.

[MrZuLu]

Live IS awesome! But the studio albums don't suck at all.The 4 studio releases do nothing for me. I have all 4!

I prefer the live stuff. I have the March 12, 2007 show from tokyo

It may be because their music on cd suffer from too much compression.

See my thread about this problem, (with a Muse song as an example) here (http://www.yesfans.com/showthread.php?t=36465).

Muse are really good musicians, they have their own personality and they know how to write great songs, but their music doesn't breath enough on cd. Live, it's waaayyy better!

:rightG:

[MrZuLu]

could be...

I don't think so though... this isn't what I am not hearing in the studio recordings. What is missing is the reflected energy the band receives from that 3000 strong mosh pit!

Muse is like Radiohead to me; they are a band that I feel I should like more than I actually do.

I have "Black Holes & Revelations" and "Absolution", and neither of them do much for me. When individual songs come up randomly on shuffle play, then I generally like them, but I haven't been able to sit and listen to either album straight-through, in its entirety...

personally I think the studio albums are very much lacking!

I believe every progressive rock fan should see them headline just once

trust me it is well worth the $35 ticket~!

catch them before the Genesis syndrome hits them and tickets shoot up!

[Which Roundabout?]

We have been doing our homework for this concert, and have had all their albums on a continuous loop for the last 3 weeks. Mini Roundabout can now sing far more Muse songs than could be reasonably expected for a 7 year old, to add to his repetoire of Van der Graaf Generator and King Crimson.

Is anyone else going to Wembley?

2 days to go........i can almost feel,smell+hear the scaffolding going up, the rough shouts of men as they construct the stage...will there be new songs?, surprise covers???, surprise guests???

the world awaits.....

[Which Roundabout?]

We're back! It was 'hairs up on the back of the neck' stuff!!!!

Wembley is incredible - even 100 miles back up in the stratosphere (as we were), everyone was up on their feet and jumping around. The crowd ranged from 7 (literally) to 70, but Mini Roundabout commented "Sometimes I could hear the tunes, but not the music", which tells you all you need to know about big stadium sound mixes.

The set included huge glowing inflatable balls set in the stands behind the stage, and remembering previous shows I thought "When they let them loose, they'll crush folk!!" Needless to say, they stayed put, and crowd-crushing was avoided - the ones they DID let loose rather disappointingly looked the size of beach balls (from our seats). Bit of a Father Ted moment!

So...when's the next one?

[True Believer]

So what was the setlist, Judith?

[pedro skychaser]

Was "city Of Delusion" Played With Mariachi Band +full Symphony Orchestra?????????

[pedro skychaser]

been over @ www.muse.mu (http://www.muse.mu) seems they did play "citizen erased" (yay),bliss,TIRO,butterflies/hurricanes,KOC,soldiers poem,plugInBaby,starlight,hysteria...among others--saw the stageset+lights...amazing+praying to several chubby polynesian gods that a dvd shall issue forth............................................. ..............

DEM APPLES are about right cereB---absolution is possibly the most fully realised album in 20 years (okComputer did have a couple of duff songs)..."origin of Symmetry" is amazing...so much energy+beauty...blackHoles is a bit less focussed....origin had the static buzzy noises linking the songs+ absolution just had the sublime highs+lows of the running order...:xolicon42:

city of delusion is my fave song however(apart from citizen erased) in their canon:headset:

Not diggin' Radiohead as much. Although I do have 'Kid A' and 'Hail to the Thief'. Music is too monotonous for me. Along the same lines, I like Porcupine Tree much better and I'm still aggravated that they have never really broken big here in the U.S. I was listening to Stupid Dream the other day and there is literally four tracks on that disc that could have been hits with the right record company push.

I am so pleased for you Angeleyes.

I know the fact that they were scheduled to appear in NYC so near to the time you were just there was very frustrating for you! A week or so more and you could have made your MSG debut and seen these boys again too!!

Hell, if I'd known I would have chaperoned you for longer!!

That would have been fabulous, Malcolm. To see Muse at MSG ....

You'd have hated the music probably though! :lmao:

I should have gone to this show :-(. I think I was really busy that day.

These guys have got me sold. I'm listening to 'Black Holes' right now and love it, although I dig 'Absolution' and the first one a bit more.

These fellas are among a small gang of modern neo-prog groups that have maintained their integrity and vision while amassing decent crowds and having variable degrees of commercial success.

King's X
Tea Party
Porcupine Tree
Muse

and a few others that allude me at the moment.

IQ perchance?

[CerebralJazz85]

I consider IQ to be full-on prog. There's an element binding those I mentioned and that's hard-alt. rock commercial appeal.

Origin Of Symmetry & Absolution

Quite a gourmet dish….

[MrZuLu]

Are they headlining in Dallas?

[pedro skychaser]

illawarra road officially awash with double-billposters advertising MUSE concert november 17...these are golden times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[True Believer]

Hope you got your tix, Peter!

Posters around Crows Nest too ....

[Timmo]

I didn't get tickets, but I think there are still lawn seats left at the Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine.

Perhaps I can convince the Silent_Wingers to go....

[Scottie]

Now that I have three albums under my belt I can say I’m really enjoying this band.

Never before, nor after, has there been a greater voice than Freddie Mercury. Yet I find a certain resemblance in harmonies found on a few moments I've heard so far.

[SoundscapeMN]

yes I'm a fan, still waiting for them to put out a big, classic album. But they haven't made any bad records in my mind.

[MrZuLu]

Anyone going to the Seattle show September 9, 2007 at the Key Arena?

[Symbol]

Are they headlining in Dallas?

Yeah.... I believe so.

[Symbol]

I see they are playing in Vegas soon.

[True Believer]

So go, Pete!

17 November for me ....
