I read that about Chris (Martin) and Matt and Politik. . . Poor Matt is probably a whole head shorter than Chris! :lol:

^But the song is great tough! :lol::lol:

Isn't Clocks also inspired by Sunburn? I swear I read that somewhere... :thinking:

Probably. :thinking:

 

Didn't Coldplay tour with Muse in the early stages of their career? :thinking:

Coldplay supported a Muse tour, but i think they only played one same gig.

It was for at least 4 gigs according to this site:

http://www.musewiki.org/Gigs,_1999-2000

 

But I'd suppose it was for all the UK gigs between the Astoria and Portsmouth gigs...

This is only what I could find on a quick search, I'm sure we could find out more if we digged a little deeper. :)

That's nice, my two favorite bands are kinda friends :laugh3:

 

Can somebody say something about The Small Print? :/

 

I got nothing hearing it...:lol:

If I ever saw Muse and Coldplay on the same stage, I'd completely freak out.

I have mixed feelings about The Small Print. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. :\ The melody itself is pretty good, and I like the guitar riff.

 

I got nothing hearing it...:lol:

 

Wait, do you mean the meaning behind it? :thinking:

 

I really don't know what it's about. All I got from it was a feeling of bitterness from the singer's point of view.

 

. . . and then there's MuseWiki's explanation.

 

While initially played before Absolution's release, it went by the name 'Action Faust.' The song can be understood as, clearly alluding to Goethe's Faust, being sung from the point of view of the Devil to someone selling their soul to him in exchange for, presumably, musical prowess and fame. It shows the transaction as ultimately manipulative on the part of the Devil, dooming the recipient to be a "slave to the grave" and robbing him of all memories of "the good days". The Devil's identity can be seen in the line "I'm a priest God never paid"; he is able to mediate supernatural power but does so outside of the service of God. The final title "The Small Print" yet again underlies the motif of a dishonest contract between a Devil and Faustian figure.

I like the Small Print, but I don't love it.

Falling Away With You is so damn beatiful man..they should play it live :/

^ Agree! It's the only album track to have never been played live.

Falling Away With You is so damn beatiful man..they should play it live :/

If I ever saw Muse and Coldplay on the same stage, I'd completely freak out.

I like Yellow for a romantic song too. Not the album version tough...if you search the net, there are some really nice versions :x And don't forget unintended!!! its a nice song as well :P And falling away with you is kinda sad romantic, not a 'happy' romantic :laugh3:

 

 

Edit: endlessly is nice too =o

Invincible is rather romantic. And don't forget Neutron Star Collision. :p

Neutron Star Collision is NOT a ROMANTIC song plzzzzzzzz and Kelly i've always taken invincible as a political song

^^ yes falling away with you is a sad romantic song and i love endlessly too. i just love everything off absolution

Going to see Muse live on Monday! I'm excited. :)

I was kidding about Neutron :p

 

^ Have an amazing time! :awesome:

^^ I'm sure I will. :) Been a fan since 2002, but haven't managed to snag a ticket until now.

US Bank Arena, Cincinannati USA?

About Neutron Star Collision...I HATE Twilight, one of the most boring movies in the whole world :lol: but NSC is a great song! :D And I think it's very romantic, imo...try to remember another movie or another romantic couple, and the song will sound amazing ahah it's what I do :P But yes, I prefer Unintended too :nice:

 

And about The Small Print, I really love it! :D One of my favorite songs, you should hear me and my best friend singing it :lol: it sounds awful! ahaha

Gah, seriously? :bigcry: It's like when Muse did that U.S. Campus tour thing back in 2006 or so and tickets were only about $30. And I wasn't even really into music in 2006. :disappointed:

 

Ahaha, Neutron Star Collision. :wacky: It's so cheesy and the lyrics make me go "wut", yet I kinda love it.

 

^^^I hope you have an amazing time at the concert, shipoffools!

I'm wondering if they sell Muse bags now at WallMart or at another store ? Can you have a look ?

And about The Small Print, I really love it!

 

I'll sell your memories at 15 pounds per year, but you can keep the bad days. :cool:

^^^ I agree that NSC is cheesy, but it's a nice cheesy :lol:

 

^say, it'll make you insane and I'm bending the truth :awesome:
