    Obviously, Glastonbury had a lot of really great performances. Specifically, I think that the Glastonbury performance of "Ruled by Secrecy" was hauntingly beautiful. But that isn't any new revelation or anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtifoW8W81Q Though I also quite enjoy the one from Seattle 2010. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OX8QxLf32z0

    Ooh! Got another one! Showbiz is my least favorite Muse album. And this is taking into account that it isn't a bad album by any means. They just improved a whole lot after it.

    Which of us is taking things too seriously here?
  4. TheHappySpaceman
    Opinions! It's electronic music, and in my opinion, it's weird. So I reserve the right to call it weird electronic stuff.

    Aw, damn! It would have been hilarious to see the flamewars that start from that. I'm not a huge Radiohead fan, though I do like some of their stuff, but I'm more of a fan of the more rock side of their music than the weird electronic stuff they did later on, and in my opinion, they haven't made anything as great as OK Computer.

    When/if this happens, I will be one of the first to buy it on DVD. (And if it doesn't happen, then hopefully we can trust Takeabow19 to make a high quality bootleg, right? ) Though me personally, I'm more hyped for the upcoming Gorillaz album.

    Wow! That was fast. Thanks a ton! This made my day. Ooh, that's another good performance. Honestly, every track on that EP was pretty damn solid, though I would have preferred a full-length audio (and possibly video) recording of the Resistance Stadium Tour shows. With videos of the UFOs and whatnot.

    There was one early live performance of Bliss that I heard that featured no backing synths and alternated with Matt playing the arpeggios on guitar and playing the power chords on guitar. I kind of liked that, though I can't find it now. Then I think there was a version of Sunburn where Matt plays guitar all the way through and Morgan plays piano. Oh, and an early version of Starlight that featured Matt playing the piano part on his guitar. That was pretty awesome, especially compared to the more recent version of Starlight where Matt has seemingly decided that he's too cool to play guitar (aka too cool to do his frikkin' job). If any of you know where I can find these videos, please let me know! (Because I've searched and I can't find them on YouTube.)

    Whoops! I thought I said "To quote Natalie Swatowski" in my comment Sorry, I must have forgotten, but I gotta give credit where it's due!

    Thanks! Forgot about Panic Station and Escape. Ooh, I would but I don't have a Twitter. Sorry! I wish for everyone else here to have fun, though.

    Is there a source for this? Because if so... hoo boy. I don't know if I'd count "songs" like "Anaconda" as music. At least with Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry, I could sort of hear where they were coming from, but you have to remember that by that point, Radiohead was long past the OK Computer era and had moved on to weird electronic music, becoming mostly just the Thom Yorke show, so if Radiohead wasn't going to give us rock, then why not have Muse take over? (Especially since by Absolution, the Radiohead influences were practically invisible.) I swear if I have to hear that meme from one other Muse hater I am going to flip. Though I've heard Matt Bellamy's voice called a ripoff of Thom Yorke's, but... nah, Thom has a more somber depressing tone while Matt goes for extreme hamminess. Also, both are British singers in the alternative scene who cite Jeff Buckley as an influence. Of course they're going to sound alike. Doesn't make one a ripoff of the other, though. Saying one band is a ripoff of the other just because their singers sound alike is BS. This is like all those people in the '70s who claimed that Queen, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin were all Cream ripoffs.

    Please see my response to fabripav above. That's what I thought, too, but for some reason a few people seem to think that the bass part is reminiscent of it.
  15. TheHappySpaceman
    Do live substitutions count? Because "OUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUTARARARRARARARARARARARRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you know what I mean, don't you know? DADADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH you know what I mean..." is glorious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnIxlwui85Q

    In my opinion, Eurockeennes 2000 contained the best performance of "Feeling Good," only because we got to see the magnificence of Matt forgetting the lyrics during the megaphone section (1:32). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnIxlwui85Q When most singers forget the lyrics, they get the audience to sing it or maybe shout something instead. But when Matt Bellamy forgets the lyrics, it's truly something special to witness. "OUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUTARARARRARARARARARARARRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you know what I mean, don't you know? DADADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH you know what I mean..."

    Matt needs to bring the wah pedal back. (If he's ever used it before... or even owns one.)
  18. TheHappySpaceman
    Okay, that's a fair point. Yeah, that's Muse for ya. Again, let me restate that I feel as though they knew people would get upset about that and decided to post it just to troll us/get attention for the album.
  19. TheHappySpaceman
    Hey, it was only one of the options. And to be fair, I have met plenty of people like that... in high school, but still.
  20. TheHappySpaceman
    Was that ever released as a single? I thought that was just an album track and the only singles from The 2nd Law were Survival, Madness, Follow Me (which to be fair isn't very good), Supremacy, and Panic Station.
  21. TheHappySpaceman
    There are probably a few reasons. The haters are just pop fans with no taste (which applies to a lot of haters of rock bands). They think that Muse sold out with Drones (or The 2nd Law, or The Resistance, or Black Holes and Revelations, or Absolution). They think of Muse as a Radiohead ripoff (which they aren't). They resent the fact that Muse's music was used in the Twilight films. They're racist against British people. Any of these could be possible. Who knows?

    I know some people consider "Isolated System" to be dubstep, though in all fairness, I wouldn't consider either it or Madness to be such. A fair enough assessment, though I was less talking about whether or not they could pull off the sound and more about the fears that the whole album would be a dubstep album, which were sparked by Muse's decision to troll us all by having the album's teaser only feature the dubstep song. Because really, the album is more of a symphonic-progressive-dubstep-disco-piano-driven-ballad-pop-hard-metal genre roulette, and Matt did warn us with his assessment of it being "christian gangsta rap jazz odyssey, with some ambient rebellious dubstep and face-melting metal flamenco cowboy psychedelia." And what's that supposed to mean?
  24. TheHappySpaceman
    Hey, whatever gets attention, right? Even if it's negative, like the teaser for The 2nd Law getting everyone riled up about "Musestep," even though only 2/13 of the tracks (or 4/13 if you really want to stretch it) counted as dubstep. Actually, you're right. Muse's teasers for their recent albums have been kind of weird.
  25. TheHappySpaceman
    Muse has never had a mostly bad album in their discography. The Resistance > Showbiz Also, I miss Matt's blue hair.
