Muse?

[Gumbo72203]

Hey guys,
I'm not sure if any of you are into Muse, but I thought I'd give it a shot.  My only experience with this band was when I saw them open for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers when I was in 7th or 8th grade.  I graduated HS in 2004, so this would make it like...  98/99 or 99/00.

Anyway, I'd always meant to check them out after that, because it was some seriously twisted music, and I just have this mental image of the guitarist/singer holding his guitar up in the air to the side, like with his left (fretting) arm fully extended, and llike swirling and spinning around.  And the music matched his antics... 

Anyway, I'd always wanted to find out what songs they played...    so, do any of you know the band enough to figure what I'd have likely heard?

I mean, I'm almost 100% positive I wont remember/recognize any of it, but I might...  the feelings it instilled in me remain, so who knows.

Anyone?

Starlight is their biggest hit. 



Knights of Cydonia is another one



Their live show seriously kills it.   When I saw them last week at Coachella they threw in Rage Against the Machine, Hendrix, Nirvana and Star Spangled Banner jams between songs.

This is their current stage set up:



But in 99 they only had one album:  Showbiz.

Holy shit I definitely saw "Sunburn". 


Is it horrible I just downloaded their whole discography?   Yeahhhhhhh man this shit hot!!


I seriously just watched the video for "Supermassive Black Hole" like 9 times.  That song is so infectious.  Holy shit.  Wow.

I really dig Muse. I was hooked the first time I heard Knights of Cydonia a few years back.

Even though this thread died a quick death, there is something to talk about.

Has anyone else listened to the new Origins of Muse anthology? It's a 9 disc set of demos, b-sides, live versions and instrumental versions of both Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry. It's pretty fuckin' awesome! Especially the B-sides.

I saw Queen. The ons with the curly hair played a damn fine guitar. And their singer knew his showbizz antics besides his impressive vocal range.

I gave Muse a shot, but it's not my cup of tea.

Wow.  9 year old thread......  this is interesting.  It's weird to think back to where I was when I wrote all this.  I had a completely differently life.  100% different.  Unreal. 

Anyway, I still need to dig into that Showbiz album because even though I apparently downloaded the whole discography back then, I know none of it today haha.  Drugs are bad. 

Supermassive Black Hole still fucks hard though.

They are more of a Queen/Radiohead hybrid.

You've convinced me to never listen to another note.
