Sole Silenzioso Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I think it's pretty good (I'm sure that was a topic already on this book) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sole Silenzioso Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I won it, that's why I'm reading it anyway...It was too expensive from Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I saw it, but I always remember the Simpsons, when Bart had a biography about a day after he got famous, so I was suspicious of this for some reason. And I'm poor, yeah I'm hoping to get Rule By Secrecy soon... I'd love to read it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londoner Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I'm hoping to get Rule By Secrecy soon... What???!!!!

Mkbhattal@googlemail.com Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I dont think the book has been out that long. but the reviews are right - it says that it will make u wana start up ur own band and make a whole lot of noise or something. i totally agree - thats what i wanted to do once i read it. i wanted to go thru what muse had been thru coz it sounded so cool. lol.

I don´t know when I will read this book, I´m curious but I don´t have the time now, 4 books are in my waiting list first , but you say "it sounded so cool", and I guess nothing is so easy as it appears in showbiz (not the album, the lifestyle ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Velvet Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Haven't read it. But isn't it unofficial? So how can you know all is true then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkbhattal@googlemail.com Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Haven't read it. But isn't it unofficial? So how can you know all is true then? it seems pretty true. lots of it ive seen before in interviews etc and the guy did tour with them a little bit apparently. there are a few minor inacurracies. i cant remember them now. but some conflicting stuff. its gotta b better than that maximum muse biography cd. that tries to tell u that both matt's parents are dead.

londoner Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Something tells me it must be quite accurate, the author is a journalist fan of Muse. And I think some kind of comment would appear from Muse regarding fake facts in the book, tho, I still have to read it. So I don´t know what I am talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mkbhattal@googlemail.com Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 as far as i can tell, a lot of it is research from past interviews and biographies etc. so some of its gona b bullshit coz Muse themselves dont tend to always tell the truth, or elaborate on it at least. lol. but its got the usual stuff about Teignmouth being shit and them being in other bands and trashing battle of the bands and going to America and all the Maverick and Radiohead stuff and wot they get up to on tour. Most of it u will have read a million other places before. Its got quotes from interview and stuff from Leckie and Safta Jaffery and people who saw them play their first gigs in Devon etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipasaurus Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 The book really gives you a lot of information about the band like explaining some of their lyrics and song titles and stuff as well as giving you loads of useless trivia. Its worth reading if your a fan and wan't to know more about the band. Example:"Micro Cuts was about a dream Matt had where he was in a desert and the sky was raining down huge blades upon him" My only criticism of the book is that it focuses on Matt way more than Chris and Dom which gets a bit annoying in places.

Mkbhattal@googlemail.com Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 yer people seem to forget that it takes more than one person to make a band imagine if one person could make all the noise that muse do...

Beth Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I read it, sometimes went off on one a bit but it does have a lot of info on the band and how they started and stuff. . . Worth buying I think. It's a longish book too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
