lensip max Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 No, they're not. More importantly, why should they have to be the new anything? Pink Floyd and Muse are both awesome bands, but they don't need to precede/succeed each other in any way, shape or form, imo. They're awesome as they are, and I love them both Though... Pink Floyd a wee bit more
spareflyer Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 yeh but floyd dont tour anymore and radiohead arent theatrical enough
lensip max Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 yeh but floyd dont tour anymore and radiohead arent theatrical enoughJust curious, but what does that have to do with anything?
spareflyer Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 people want to see a show, when you go and see muse they are to far away so now they have baloons and fancy lighting, when you look at the floyd concerts they are secondry. type of thing, shame about Mitch too, what a man
sander Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 No. Muse is...well, MUSE not Pink Floyd. simple (although you can compare them if you like to:))
lensip max Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I see. Hmm... I've never been to either a Muse or Pink Floyd concert, (so my opinion is null and void now lol) but I'd say that like... no, Muse are not the new Pink Floyd. There will be no new Pink Floyd just as there will be no new Muse. They're both gonna go down in history as legendary bands/acts/etc but... that doesn't make them... the same or anything imo.
knightofcydonia14 Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 No, Muse isn't as well known as Pink Floyd is.
Pip Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 I've seen both live (Pink Floyd in the 80s then again in 1994) and I enjoyed seeing Muse live far more than Pink Floyd simply because they have a far greater stage presence. I don't mean the peripherals, I mean the way in which Matt energises the gigs. I thoroughly enjoy the music of both bands and have been listening to Pink Floyd since I was a little girl in the 70s, it was what my parents listened to almost every day so it was inevitable I'd become a fan. I don't think Muse are the new anything and I don't believe they are more/less talented than PF.
L. Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 No, Muse isn't as well known as Pink Floyd is. Pink who? Are they a gay boyband?? I know muse though... it's the band from the twilight movie!!
*OoS* Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 In terms of "progressiveness," yes. But they're two different bands. Pink Floyd are important to the development of music. I think Muse are taking it forward even further. But you can't really see Muse as the "new" Floyd. They're Muse - no one else, and that's why I love them Besides, they're better anyway
Obi Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 No. Porcupine Tree are I don't want Muse to be like teh Floyd anyway. I love both but they are very different bands. Muse are hardly like them at all actually apart from their interest in random instruments and progressiveness...which Floyd have a lot more of. Muse are much more bombastic and a better question would have been "Are Muse the new Queen?" They aren't that either but it'd still be a good debate.
pubicmage Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 No. There isn't a new Pink Floyd. For a start, Roger Waters was (maybe still is, but he hasn't released an album since 1991) an incredible lyricist who actually wrote songs with substance, whereas Matt Bellamy's lyrics are usually laughable at best. The only link is that Storm Thorgerson has provided artwork for both bands. Neither band is progressive, by the way. Pink Floyd have about six genuinely progressive songs, formulating a very small percentage of their repertoire. You can only consider them a prog band if you completley ignore the vast majority of their songs.
ChrisirhC Posted April 2, 2009 Posted April 2, 2009 Muse aren't really progressive at all. Muse are more Glam tbh have you seen the music video for that supermassive black hole song from twilight?
