It really matters if something was in Twilight.  It's it's the plague or something.  It's not just another annoying movie for teenage girls.

Fixed.

It really matters if something was in Twilight.  It's like the bastard child of AIDS and the plague or something.  It's not just another annoying movie for teenage girls.

It really damn matters if something was in Twilight.  It is the bastard child of AIDS and Swine Flu (H1N1).  It's not just another annoying movie for teenage girls, it's the movie to watch if you want to be castrated by Muse fans.

Fixed.

Double Fixed.

Triple Fixed.

Their songs have so awesome meanings, if you like pseudo-jazz music listen to Soldier's Poem... It's such an awesome song.

I love the space-westernness of Knights of Cydonia.

Yeah, they incorporate so many different themes and concepts into their songs. The great thing is that they aren't just random gibberish crap: look at Flo Rida's songs, they all sing about 'laying chicks' and 'how high you can jump'. Seriously. Don't get me started on BEP's song 'I got a feeling'.

Then compare that with Muse's songs:

Soldier's Poem, a song written from the perspective of a soldier who cannot find a reason for why he is repeatedly risking his life.

Lyrics:

Quote
Throw it all away
Let's lose ourselves
Cause there's no one left for us to blame
It's a shame we're all dying
And do you think you deserve your freedom

How could you send us
So far away from home
When you know damn well that this is wrong
I will still lay down my life for you

And do you think you deserve your freedom
No I don't think you do
There's no justice in the world
And there never was

And the song has a mellow jazz sound, with a military rhythmic beat. Sounds like pure awesome.

Points at Hammers of Misfortune

True story:  Kid where I went to high school claims to have drummed for Muse, but was kicked out when he hit another member accidentally.  I don't know why he would lie about something like that.  It's such an absurd lie.

If you like this, you might like some proper prog bands, like Rush and van der Graaf generator.

Proper progressive?
It's called progressive for a reason, besides, MUSE isn't for everyone, but it is for a lot of people. Seriously, if you watch the HAARP DVD you see soooo many different people from so many different echelons of society. I saw young people, kids 'round my age, old whitehaired grandpas and grannys, I saw some punks, I saw a few 'hardcore' looking rockers.

Besides, I don't only listen to MUSE, I listen to so many different artists/bands/whatever:
MUSE, Linkin Park, KoRn, Green Day, BEP, Calvin Harris, Lily Allen, Katy Perry, Herma GaGa, Tchaikovsky, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Dream Theater, BBS, X Japan, L'Arc En'Ciel, The Tornadoes, Lonely Island, Eminem, Led Zepplin, Smashproof, Gin, Elvis, Mozart, etc. etc. etc.
Hell, I like any and every band/artist/composer: just as long they are actually making music.

Yes Kagus that is what I was trying to get across earlier but kind of failed at it.

I'm going to see [Dream Theater] live this December when they come down to Auckland.

WOAH! They are coming to New Zealand? Hell, That's sweet as.

I found a more epic band.

Listen to this.

I take back everything bad I've ever said about country.
