LOVE that song. Muse are good at 'bouncy', don't you think?
You know, Matt didn't even want that one on the album? There's this other song called Fury that he wanted on; Dom and Chris disagreed and it ended up as a b-side.

Haha. Wow, I might be able to beat him in a height contest!
*New goal- meet Matt Bellamy and measure up next to him at their next Toronto gig*

I'm pretty short, too - 5'6. That's not all I have in common with him, either, which is quite depressing.

He likes HP, folks!

I can't say I've heard much of their stuff, but I like "Time Is Running Out" the most. I like their style.

They're supposed to be absolutely awesome live.

Yes! Muse + bouncy songs = yay! Some of the slower ones I'm, shall we say, lukewarm about, but the faster ones... bring 'em on! And he didn't want "The Small Print" on Absolution?! Man that's one of my favorites on there!

Yessssss!

And... I'm a bit shorter than him! Yes, I so want to be shorter and it's always encouraging to me when I find someone taller than me... lol

I would sooo love to see them live sometime... someday... somehow... haha

Yes, you see Matt's just a little bit eccentric... Actually a lot of people think he's a complete nut, but some of the stuff he says I'm like "YES! It's not just me!"
I would camp naked in shopping centre with nothing but Biroed-on drawings of Matthew Bellamy to cover my modesty... to get Muse tickets.
You see if I wouldn't!

(Or I could just walk into the record shop, like everyone else... )

Oh, they really are! brilliant brilliant! Even my sister who isn't a huge fan of muse said 'you really have to appreciate how good muse are on stage!'

My little brother walked in while I was watching Hullabaloo, gave me this real 'Are you serious' look and said, "They're miming."
I was all "Shut up! ... what?"
"Nobody is that good live."
Mind you, he's only been to one concert and that was Avril Lavigne - who is admittedly pretty good live - and he was so short at the time that he couldn't see anything. Of course he's going to be cynical.

Has anyone else heard the new songs? Debase Mason's Grog and Chinese Whispers?

Naaah haven't.


One of my mates said he got tickets for Earl's Court but was lying to wind me up. aaah well. I think I saw some poll recently which said what the best rock moment was and Muse's change from the keyboards the the classic guitar show-off in New Born came in the Top 10!!!!
I think 'This Is Spinal Tap' came first but hey....
I adore Abbies (nick name for Absolution)
Oranges of Syrupy (nick name for Origin of Symmetry)
and Biz (Showbiz)
Faves:
Sing For Absolution
New Born
Plug in Baby
Megalomania
Cave
Showbiz
Any others?

Yeah, the first ever issue of Kerrang I bought reviewed that gig. I'd never heard of Muse at the time, but when I got into Muse I was flicking through some old magazines to find out more about them. "There can be no moment in modern live music more electrifying than when Matt stands up, grabs his guitar, and teases the audience into its sledgehammer riff."
Or something along those lines. (I have a good memory for useless stuff.) And judging by the bootleg, it's true. We just call it OoS, though Orange in a Cemetary seems to have been popular for a while. The most glaring omission is Citizen Erased, but I'd've included Stockholm Syndrome, TIRO, Hysteria and Sunburn.

yah, they're good. but not absolute faves

I'm not very familiar with Muse's music, but I have heard Stockholm Syndrome (which I absolutely love) and Hysteria. I'm going to buy Absolution asap. I can't wait. I was listening to some clips, and it sounds pretty good.

They're one of the best bands at performing live.

SO true. In all honesty, no band compares to their live sound.

What fo you mean your short!? 5'6 is at least average if not tall-ish!

I'm short for round here anyway. Poooor li'l Mattie. He wears a lot of the same clothes as me, we have the same jeans and stuff.


By the way, Muse are playing at the Paris Live8 at 5:30pm French time. That's 4:30pm GMT. It may be shown on BBC 1 and will - like all of the Live8 concerts - be streamed on AOL's website. (You don't need to be an AOL user to watch the stream.)


SOURCE: Tom Kirk, Muse manager

I am totally going to watch it on AOL. If my computer cooperates, that it.
I wish Muse were playing at the live 8 near me...

And now, cause nobody has done it for a while... MUSE PIC SPAM!

*gasp* You nicked those out of the Caption Thread! I still think Matt is unbelievably cute in that second one, hung-over or not. I still don't get what's funny about 'toque'...

Here comes some more pretty spammage:







Main Musers know I looove that last one. hehe

Ah. You caught me. I did indeed steal those from the Caption thread But you took some of yours from there and the photogenic Matt thread too

btw, now whenever I see that last photo I always think of Matt being like- Oh yeah! She's ALL woman! hahaha

now, what we all came for... MORE PIC SPAMMING

^I want Dom's Queen shirt.

http://www.microcuts.net/gallery/data/media/4/bcs.jpg

haha. Chris looks so out of it in all of those.

Yeah, my Photobucket account has well over 100 Muse pics in it... it's getting quite creepy :p
Really? I still think of it in the context of the Making-of-TIRO video. Then I start giggling - have you seen Dom's face when he was watching the table-dancers? So funny. He's such a perv.
On the plus side, nobody's mistaken me for a guy ever since
Good god, you can tell Matt's a Radiohead fan in that pic. Which video is it that Thom Yorke has that exact hairdo? It's a live vid. Not Creep.
Matt looks like a more handsome version of Trey from the OC in that pic. Hot as heck.
Chris always looks out of it. Not so much in the first one though.

I keep forgetting how cute Dom is.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...rs/amateur.jpg
Haha! The Showbiz days... but Matt was/is unbelievably good looking.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ters/promo.jpg

*stops and stares* Did you just compare Dom to someone in the OC? BLASPHEME! (haha. sorry. I'm not a fan in case you cant tell)

I have never seen this making of tiro thing. I feel ashamed...

Yes. I must agree that Dom is very cute. Even more so once he started wearing all those queen shirts uh oh. Now i think i need to DOM PIC SPAM!




^it looks like he stole Matt's shirt there

Now for a few funny Matt & dom ones

hehehe


hahaha

Ha! I mean it in a good way though. And I did say "a better-looking version".
It's on MuseLive (honestly though, what isn't?). Here: http://www.invictus.softmeg.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=6493#download

My god! So he has! well, here's one of my favourite Dommy-Wommy pics.
