Hi people,
Im here to rant about Muse... One of the world's best bands.
Seriously, these guys are so bloody awesome. They are for practically everyone.
Classified as... Alternative Rock/Pop they utilize so many different influences and sounds in their music.
People have compared them to the likes of Queen, Depeche Mode.
Matt Bellamy, the lead singer, can sing in high as hell falsette and deep baritone.
I quote one Youtube commenter:
Freddie Mercury will be turning in his aids ridden grave.
Muse is a band with three faces. They have relatively heavy songs with kickass riffages and then they have their experimental electronical influenced sounds. They even have composed a freakin' symphony! You can tell it's awesome just from it's name: Exogenesis!
And that's not the best part...
THEIR SONGS ACTUALLY MEAN SOMETHING!
They also happen to sound INCREDIBLY AMAZING LIVE, they also alter the solos every time they play so EVERY LIVE EXPERIENCE IS FREAKING DIFFERENT!
Matt Bellamy's father was the rhythm guitarist in the band "The Tornadoes", who were the first British band to have a number one American single, "Telstar". Matt Bellamy started playing the piano at age 6, and is widely recognised as a modern day virtuoso.
On 26 September 2008, the University of Plymouth awarded Bellamy an honourary doctorate degree in arts for his work in the field of music...
Total Guitar readers voted Bellamy 29th on a list of the top 100 guitarists...
Bellamy's riff from "Plug In Baby" was 13th in Total Guitar's poll of the Top 100 Riffs above riffs such as Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love"...
(TY Wikipedia)Here are some Youtube videos:
Matt Bellamy's Insane Magic FingersDead Star - LIVE - AWESOME SONG!Stockholm Syndrome - LIVE at Wembley - Tell me you can't listen to this version without your face melting off in pure badassery...
Map of the Problematique - LIVE at WembleyMap of the Problematique - Studio Version - WOW! They both sound so incredibly awesome! Best live band ever!
Invincible - LIVE at Wembley - Epic song So inspirational.
Be warned, their live videos can be quite catatonic...
Seriously though, Matt Bellamy must traded his soul for such l33t guitar skillz.
Or he stole the Pick of Destiny.
OR... Maybe hes just the God of Music!
They have their new album coming out later in the year, and here are 30 second previews of all of their songs on the album. Seriously, it's epic, Undisclosed Desires sounds sooooooo funky, MK Ultra freakin' awesome and Exogenesis... well, no words describe them.
30 Second Previews of The Resistance SongsWell, I rest my case.
