Metallix Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Um, because the label pays for and owns the vids, and the label wants to make money. Muse don't have to listen to EVERYTHING their label says. I'd be pretty pissed off if I had a band that had just made a really great video and then they wanna replace it with loads of live footage or something completely different? FUCK THAT. Why sell out to the American market. Getting big in America isn't THAT big of a deal. It's just a country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulDrift Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 You guys are lucky just to get Starlight on the radio. I live in Alaska and I have never heard anything about Muse here' date=' not even one of their songs on the radio. It's really messed up actually, they really deserve all the recognition they can get.[/quote'] It's now on VH1, low impact, here in the States also (as well as MTV2). http://www.mediabase.com/mmrweb/networkmag/chart.asp?format=vh&cutoff=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulDrift Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Some more progress! What chart is this again? Alternative rock in the US. Don't confuse it with the "pop charts," though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulDrift Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Rising steadily and gaining momentum just in time for when Muse start touring USA. I suspect this is why some stations are keeping # of plays down (Atlanta's WNNX for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miz_showbiz Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 SMBH is #16 this week and receives the Airpower tag (indicating a significant increase in spins). Also worth noting: There's finally a new #1 song atop the Alternative/Modern Rock chart! Linkin Park's "What I've Done" spent 15 weeks at #1 and was knocked out of the top spot by the White Stripes' "Icky Thump." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raiko Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Come on Muse. Supermassive Black Hole is better than Icky Thump. In fact Icky Thump will only be remembered for becoming the new theme tune to the Snooker on TV! Get up that damn chart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songs of faith Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 For all who know precious from depeche mode i´ve a feeling when i see two versions live (i´ve seen both several times live), and despite they don´t sound similar, in live i see that both songs sounds quite bad and low (matt´s voice don´t sound and dave´s the same) respect the albums versions , they´re huge albums songs but live they lose their force. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shizugatake Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I think Supermassive Black hole sounds way better live than on the CD. The CD version sounds a bit boring to me, but live, it just sounds so energetic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juuso Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I think Supermassive Black hole sounds way better live than on the CD. The CD version sounds a bit boring to me, but live, it just sounds so energetic... Matthew's vocals have been sounding quite dodgy with SMBH live though, really weak and powerless. I think it's gone a bit better now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's gone a bit better now though. Hmm could be, didn't notice that, but I really like the way he plays his guitar parts live, it has a great fuzzy, compressed sound.

seregon Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Why are you comparing to Precious?? I absoloutely love that song and I've heard the live version... from Venice is it? And I think it sounds great SMBH isn't Muse's best live song but it's still a hell of a lot of fun, but its a song you can tell will sound different when played live but yeah much prefer the studio version.

Raiko Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I never used to like SBH live. But now I think it's awesome. It's a whole new beast in live form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cherry Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Seen them do SMBH live three times now and it really isn't one of their best ones live to my mind; the vocals aren't as how can I say this; sexy and the guitar showing offy bits are a bit unnecessary. Don't get me wrong; I love those bits on other songs, it just seems to me that doing the whole thing louder and heavier; bigger bass and drums cos it's a funky tune would make it better live instead. At the end of the day; I'd rather listen to the studio version or better still, see the video..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because precious is a great album song from depeche the same with SMBH, but both in live are powerless, both voices (Dave anf Matt), don´t sound clear, they sound very low. I know that the songs don´t sound similar musically, but both live songs sound weaker than album version for me, that´s why i compare both songs. ( I´ve seen both live several times).

Niall Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 SBH is amazing live. I think it sounds much better than the studio version; and the studio solo's pretty weak, the Kaos+live guitar solo adds a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
