Zaphod Chizzlebrox Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Still sounds like a fancy painter and decorator to me tbh. Just tell it like it is, bloody good music regardless, I like both bands (Even though I adore Muse much more) and Radiohead are like a Tiramisu, layered, fancy and equal parts sweet and bitter whereas Muse are like a Sara Lee gateaux, big, filling, yet simple and satisfying Aye, they both satisfy in different ways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I don't agree with that myself, but its definately one of the most recognised experimental albums out there. It is not an experimental album at all, just a stupid term used by rock fans for anything a little bit different. If it was an "experimental" album, it wouldn't be by one of the biggest bands in the world and certainly wouldn't be popular with a lot of people as experimental music is pretty much unlistenable noise.

Louhi Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 PAH! Thom would walk all over Bellz with his sexual jiving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA8FVqm-cHY Finally an excuse to post this: :LOL: I've been a Radiohead fan for years, but I never knew Thom had as sexy moves as this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Muse are my favourite band but Radiohead at their best is just so well worked, layered and intricate that each listen gets better and you listen more carefully. Muse usually it's the first listen that's best, because of their style of big and bombastic and the instant WOW reaction. There are those times you're hyped for a live show and get a rare play of something and proceed to spaff yourself silly ofc, but I just think Radiohead are just a more developed and more balanced band. Muse's creative ability is heavily dominated by Matt, and at times that's backfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper_chondriac_muser Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Their fans. Muse fans can be fecking annoying and make useless threads, mostly to wind people up and then paste other people's aggravated and OTT responses to said threads in their signatures for lolz. Radiohead fans seem to be a lot less irritating . Oh, and their music an stuff is a bit different! Edit: Thom Yorke's dancing scares me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louhi Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Oh! I know the difference between Radiohead and Muse. Radiohead has played in Finland once, in 1995. Muse has played in Finland five times, twice during this tour. As much as I love Radiohead it's getting really frustrating being their fan in Finland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radiohead fans are worse against other people, and more arrogant. You know the people who think they're smart and special because they like Muse? Well...Radiohead has more of those.

But there are two kinds of elitists on these boards: the ones you mentioned and also the ones who used to like Muse back in the day and seem to think those who like them now are OTT and stupid cos the band are no longer 'great'.

hyper_chondriac_muser Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 There are some that do though. Some of the ex-fans seem to think there's something wrong with you if you still like Muse. This. I used to know a couple of Radiohead fans who still think Muse are a Radiohead tribute band. They'd only listened to Showbiz and BH&R and refused to give the other albums a chance. It's shouldn't be surprising, really. Some people are insanely closed-minded! Yeah well...that's a very small amount of people. It doesn't feel like it lately. In fact, it feels like most of the board falls into one or the other of those 'elite' categories I mentioned and the rest of us have to avoid falling into either stereotype . Having said that, it's not all bad - it's just frustrating when I see either of those types of fans posting something ridiculous, whether it's asking if you should be allowed to go to Muse gigs/be labelled a 'fan' if you only know one song or petitioning to have them split up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze015 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 It's shouldn't be surprising, really. Some people are insanely closed-minded! Not really. Don't need to listen to everything by a band to not like them. I've never met any elitist Radiohead fans, I've received more abuse for being a Radiohead fan than a Muse one.

LyraSilvertongue Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Yeah well...that's a very small amount of people. There may not be that many of them but the ones who are are annoying. If you can't be a Muse fan on the Muse board then where can you be? It's almost like it's frowned-upon to be a Muse fan here sometimes. I try not to let it bother me but sometimes it does.

It's almost like it's frowned-upon to be a Muse fan here sometimes. I try not to let it bother me but sometimes it does. Like I said, I don't think anyone here frowns upon Muse fans, unless they are ignorant or arrogant, and can't take it when someone criticizes Muse. "Muse can do no wrong" is not very uncommon.
