muse samuse Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Danke sehr. I need to hire a copy editor. LOL. I also forgot to mention these two other iconic artists influenced by Bach: "If you love Bach, Mozart, Chopin and Beethoven, you can’t help but be influenced. They wrote the greatest melodies and the most beautiful things of all time," Elton John told the invited crowd of music industry figures at the Royal Academy of Music which he joined as a piano student when he was 11 years old. Nina Simone's first musical love was Johann Sebastian Bach. "Each note you play is connected to the next note, and every note has to be executed perfectly or the whole effect is lost. Once I understood Bach's music I never wanted to be anything other than a concert pianist. Bach made me dedicate my life to music.” She plays a stunning Bach-style fugue in the middle of one of her classic songs ...

muse samuse Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Quote below from Nina Symone, singer-songwriter, classical pianist, and civil rights activist in honor of celebrating Juneteenth in America. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. ''An artist's duty, as far as I am concerned, is to reflect the times. I think that is true of painters, sculptors, poets, musicians. As far as I'm concerned, it's their choice, but I choose to reflect the times and situations in which I find myself." 'Feeling Good' UK Singles Chart (Peak Positions): #24 MUSE (2001) - Gold 400,000 certified units/sales (BPI) - Released as a double A-side single with 'Hyper Music' in 2001 and charted again from 2008-11 #40 Nina Symone (1994) - Platinum 600,000 (BPI) #69 Michael Bublé (2010) - Gold 400,000 (BPI) What is the oldest track appearing on a studio album that has yet to be played live in its full version? Demo instrumental versions were first played at Leeds and Reading in 2001 and very brief intro teases were played at gigs in Brazil and NYC in 2008 and 2018, respectively. The song about forgotten memories was originally titled World Crumbling. Lena Hall, Tony Award winning singer and actress, covered it beautifully on the 10th set of Obsessed digital 4-track EPs she released in 2018.

muse samuse Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) The 2023 WOTP worldwide tour is on target to become the band's 2nd consecutive tour to gross over US$100 million in one calendar year after their ST worldwide tour did so in 2019. The number of career MUSE headlining arena shows at the O2 in London will total 13 with the just announced two dates in October 2023 breaking a tie with the Bercy Arena in Paris which has 11. The band's 15 April 2016 in-the-round gig at this venue set an attendance record with 21,000 tickets sold which was later broken by Metallica in October 2017 with over 22K concert-goers at each of their shows. The O2 arena located on the Greenwich Peninsula will be the second venue in the United Kingdom to generate over US$20 million in ticket sales revenue for MUSE after Wembley stadium became the first to cross this threshold with the band's four massive shows in 2007 and 2010. Below is a break-down of box office figures for MUSE shows at the O2 arena in London by year: 2009 38,130 $2,143,494 £1,303,012 (2 shows) 2012 34,200 $2,854,786 £1,766,335 (2 shows) 2016 92,167 $8,202,360 £5,708,895 (5 shows) 2019 30,600 $3,566,648 £2,934,040 (2 shows) 2023 32,000 $4,000,000 £3,200,000 (2 shows) - Estimate based on an average ticket price of 100 quid Sources: Pollstar and promoters Edited August 24, 2023 by muse samuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly, we found this plan B. We had to set up a gigantic tier of 6000 seats, a stage 57m wide and 18m high, food and drink stands as well as toilets. The overall budget is just over three million [Swiss] francs. It costs more than a stadium since you have to bring everything," explains Sébastien Vuignier [from promoter Takk Productions].

muse samuse Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) "The Muse: Will Of The People World Tour 2023 concert brought together more than 53,000 fans of the band from Devon, England which took place at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur earlier. The world tour concert of the band consisting of Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard organized by Hello Universe saw many fans born in the 1990s gather to 'meet' their favorite band. Although the three musicians have each passed the 40-year-old age line, that didn't stop them from producing quite an energetic performance tonight. Not interacting much during the performance, Muse's vocalist Matt Bellamy managed to chant a few phrases in Malay such as 'selamat peteng' (even though it was already evening) and the words 'thank you' were expressed many times as a sign of appreciation for the fans who came to watch their performance." This MUSE concert was likely the the largest attended gig so far at this Malaysian stadium venue by a Western artist and may have grossed over $6 million assuming an average ticket price of $115 (500 Ringgit). Coldplay will likely break this box office record in November with over 60K fans in attendance.
