wildwilly Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I am a huge fan of MUSE. First heard the band open for U2 with Uprising and now am true super fan. Matt is an incredible rock and roll talent, Chris and Dom are awesome too. However, the band's video's do not always live up to their full potential. Take the music video Uprising. Don't take me wrong here...it is cool to watch. But the whole teddy bear with fangs thing just does not do it for me. Uprising is a song about political upheaval and could have easily incorporated a motif from a movie like Brad Pitt's Inglorious Bastards...or the great war movie Patton. This type of imagery would have really done the song more justice. Okay...now tell me I am an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mentlegen. Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 You're an idiot (jk). I don't think songs like Uprising suit that sort of thing (Take KoC. That has a total B-movie feel to it, and it suits it!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthien Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Personally I loved the Uprising video, very original. I would feel if they went crazy political it would be a cliche. HOWEVER I was insanely disappointed when I saw the video for Resistance. When I first watched it I was like "Oh, good one Muse! you kidders you!" I thought it was a joke... but it wasn't... and its still a shit music video... *is bitter* Soo much potential there for a good video! I must admit I HATE twilight with a burning passion but I like the NSC video better then the Resistance one. Rant complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa_ Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I used to give a shit about videos. Then I realized it's easier to not care about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micro Citizen Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Some of the video (Bliss for example) are great where as other (Unintended for example) could be a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaSarahS Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Yeah. Bliss, SFA and KoC are great. The rest? Not so much. I would love to see them make an epic, thematic and serious video, but this IS Muse we're talking about here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherry lips Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I don't think that they care as much about the videos(I'm not saying that they don't give a shit about them but I think that they tend to focus on other stuff)...like Lady Gaga for example who's videos last for 10 minutes and the song lasts for 4 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that she is the only one making interesting ones, but she is creating more interest with them. Music videos are underrated in my opinion and can be a very powerful tool.

Definetly,but what I'm trying to say is that I don't think that they pay that much attention to their videos (me not being a fan of Gaga has nothing to do with it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkShines11 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Personally, i'd like to see at least one more music video like KoC. I really love videos that tell some kind of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellapod Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Interesting first post. I see where you're heading with Uprising but if you analyse the video thoroughly you can see the use of lighting and effects help to establish a running theme. As someone who creates concepts or stories as you will, that correspond to the music, it is most hard to convey exactly what other viewers will interpret from the song.
