wow that's awesome :dance:

OMG I'm stuck in an awful situation : Muse are coming to play in a Paris stadium (very close to my place), but the venue is June 23rd, and I've got a very hard series of exams beginning on th 20th. So'Im buying a ticket, hoping I won't have to be anywhere faraway in France on this particular day.

 

For those who live in the States and would like to buy a Muse DVD via Internet, I strongly advise to buy Japanes ones, because they are in NTSC format and include one more track on each one :

 

- Dark Shines on Hullabaloo : For me the best song in the concert.

- Citizen Erased on Absolution Tour : "

 

Talking about Hullabaloo, this DVD kinda disappointed me : It's recorded at Le Zénith, which provides one of the worst sound qualities in France, and I find Matt's singing and playing guitar really not good at all (compared with what he's technicaly capable of).

Thank you for the insight, I would go to the Muse gig anyway, but Im not very responsible:laugh4:

 

But come on..Muse live...

 

How was the Tour Diary on Hullabaloo?

I heard it was quite hilarious...

If you mean the second disc, I think it's worth a view, and the B-Sides soundtrack is fine, but as a French-not-very-good-at-understanding-spoken-English, I felt sort of a lack of subtitles. The Slipknot mask sequence is hilarious, as well as when they wrote "You are going to lose" on one of the Weakest Link desks.

Hahaha, I want this dvd so bad..:worried:

I just want to let you know ..my mind refuses to let you goooo

I wanna hypnotise you so you will remeeeeember me

One night stand-up with Muse

 

 

What: Muse Live In Singapore

When: Tuesday, 16 January 2007 at 8pm

Where: Fort Canning Park. Tickets available through SISTIC

 

"Rock music for clever people" seems like a terribly pompous way to describe one of the most powerful rock bands on planet Earth.

 

However the tag — bestowed upon them by countless rock music critics — is one that English trio Muse find most amusing.

 

"The music we make has a lot of depth to it. So, I would consider the people who listen to our music cool, smart and intelligent people," drummer Dominic Howard told TODAY with a laugh in a phone interview from his home in London.

 

The critically-acclaimed band — famous for their blend of indie and progressive rock, but best known for their energetic live performances — will play at Fort Canning park on Tuesday evening.

 

It is the group's first visit to these shores and one that is highly anticipated. According to concert promoters LAMC Productions, they have sold over 6,000 tickets for the one-night-only event.

 

But, before you think Howard is taking himself a bit too seriously, he breaks into chuckles.

 

"You don't have to be intelligent like us," he said, reassuringly. "Music is about provoking emotions. If you feel something for what we do, then that's great."

 

If there's one thing that's surprising — and refreshing — about this 29-year-old, it is that despite being part of one of rock's biggest bands, Howard isn't one to let success get to his head.

 

It would be perfectly understandable, though, if he were to let his success rule his ego.

 

After all, since Muse appeared on the rock scene in 1999 with their debut album Showbiz, the Devon-based trio have fashioned a distinctive kaleidoscopic rock sound built on a steady diet of Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Pink Floyd and Queen.

 

Last year's Black Holes and Revelations became the band's biggest hit so far: The album hit the No 1 spot in nine countries and has sold almost 2 million copies around the world.

 

In Singapore, the album has sold over 15,000 copies since it was released in July.

 

It is clear that Muse — made up of Howard, bassist Chris Wolstenholme and guitarist and frontman Matthew Bellamy — are on top of their game.

 

Revered music magazine Q recently crowned the band 2006's Best Live Act, putting them ahead of bookie favourites U2 and Coldplay.

 

And it just keeps getting better. Last month, the band announced that they are slated for a gig in the rebuilt 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium in London next June.

 

The tickets sold out in under an hour.

 

"I'm definitely pleased with how Muse have grown," Howard gushed as he discussed the band's good fortunes.

 

"People may talk about U2 and Coldplay ruling the rock world, but I don't think people can argue with us after selling out the Wembley Stadium," he said, laughing.

 

"I think it just proves that we have a big fanbase which enjoys watching us perform live. But that's also because the whole industry is changing. Not a lot of bands are selling as many albums as before.

 

"But, for us, the live element is growing massively. So, it's a healthy sign, if nothing else."

 

What makes Muse so endearing, perhaps, is their continuing eccentricity. Their reputation for outlandish conspiracy theories involving UFOs, futurism and the supernatural have garnered them a cult following which includes celebrities such as Justin Timberlake, The Killers' Brandon Flowers and even Paris Hilton (who was reportedly turned away backstage because singer Bellamy couldn't be bothered to meet her).

 

"What? Are you telling me you don't believe in conspiracy theories?" bellowed Howard, when queried over their affinity for the left field.

 

"Everything that Matt sings about we agree with," he said.

 

"It's pretty 'out there', but these are things we talk about around dinner or in the recording studio," he added, before going off on a tale of government conspiracy and alien abduction.

 

Howard was clearly in a chatty mood — unusual for a man who famously detests doing interviews.

 

"Oh, I just had a break for Christmas," he explained. "I took a nice long breather at the Virgin Islands. It was nice because, just before that, we were doing our European tour, which was the longest tour we've done.

 

"It was totally amazing playing such huge gigs, but we were totally exhausted by the end of it all."

 

Still, the rocker is ready to roll again.

 

"I've been looking forward to playing in Singapore," he enthused. "Some people have told me 6,000 may be a far cry from the tens of thousands we're used to.

 

"But I assure you, we will put on a storming show nonetheless." - TODAY/so

Still Easily-addict ?

My Muse song of the moment is Balloonatic ["Uniteeeeeeeeeeeeeeed agaaaain, like separated twins..."]

haha yeah, i think its cos i finally managed to play it on guitar

Wow ! I think I should try this. Anyway I'm stuck in trying to play Bedroom Acoustics correctly, and it's tough :(

They put on a great show in Singapore :D An hour and 15 minutes went too soon soon though. :(

i just bought the absolution dvd today (pal :( ) and im seeing them on the 28th, I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Any chance anyone could upload Bedroom Acoustics and Balloonatic plz cos i don't have either of those songs? :(

Ohhh, I second that!!

And...

 

American fans, its time to get yippy, they are starting to open American dates!!!!!!!!

 

It was in a bulliten from the band on myspace..

 

I love Muse but I hate how they operate thier tours, they only release dates a few weeks before the dates themselves, I remember last time in Michigan, I didnt know they were comming but a week before.

 

Anyhow, keep checking to see when they are comming your way!

:bigcry:

 

they definitely should come to south america

 

:bigcry:

I dont know if they have before, but i have heard that they go to alot of locations most bands dont travel to..like Russia for example, I dont see why they would never goto S.America.

really??

 

it's cool to hear that....

seeing muse live would be the coolest thing ever.... well.. after coldplay :P

 

oh I can't stop talking about this.... 27 days to coldplay :dance:

Muse is actually better live..

I hate to say it..

But Muse was just unbelievable, the energy is amazing, and the crowds are always really into it..

 

At all the Coldplay concerts I have been too, the crowd was pretty mixed..

There were the folks like me dancing and stuff, then there were the people who just sat there, at Muse, everrrry one was dancing and singing.

 

Maybe Coldplay will be different in L.A, because everyone is looking forward to the show, since it has been so long awaited.

there's no so much muse fans here so I don't know how would be a muse concert here

 

 

but there's a loooot of coldplay fans waiting for the show.. and well... latin american crowds are very cool... in the U2's concert in 2006 we sang every word of every song it was so beautiful :blush:

I wish Michigan crowds were that inthused.

 

Lucky duck.

hahaha

 

btw I love your signature pic :wink3:

 

:wacko:

Thank you!!

 

Its from the MtvU interview, youtube it, its very funny!!

I'll do it :nice:
