Wow, Muse are playing at the Live 8. I was going to go to the G8 Summit anyway as I went to pre-protest in London but if there's a chance I can go see Muse....

I absolutely love them, and Matt Bellamy (Rrrrrrar!) has a voice that I can sing along with. It's fabby.
My mate couldn't believe anyone could stay in tune with the songs... I proved him wrong. Mwa hahahaaa.

I like Muse . My favourite song by them would have to be Hysteria. I'm fortunate enough to have seen them live yet . I doubt they'd ever come to New Zealand so yeah =\

I love them but their newer album "Absolution" is not as good as their older albums.

My favourite songs would be Feeling Good, Sunburn and Plug in baby

Muse! I love love love them. I've heard they're very good live, and I'd love to go see them, but I doubt they'll be anywhere near me any time soon. *pout* I like "Time Is Running Out", "Hysteria", and "Butterflies and Hurricanes".

I hate them

Even though I have no clue who they are=P

I detest this band with a vengeance.


They are utterly useless and have no talent what so ever. I cannot stand Matt Bellamy because he's over-rated and all they're songs are repetative.

Of course his voice is distinguishable because no-one else whines like a girl. To fill the senseless void of their tedious songs, he will throw in perpetual "ooooh-ing" for instance Plug In Baby, Micro Cuts, Time Is Running Out etc etc.


Don't even get me started on how they murdered Nina Simone's Feeling Good.....

Have you not heard the piano bit in Butterflies and Hurricanes? No talent! Blasphemy!

No, to each his own.

I rather enjoy his girly voice though.

Exactly... I would like them, but I don't

If I was a couple of years younger and less wise I might actually give them a chance. But I was put off ever since the first time I saw them.

Obviously I wouldn't contradict myself by saying I actually paid to see them, of course not. I went to see them a good couple of years ago when they weren't famous and supporting a local band I knew. Of course these were back in the old days when I was oblivous to them and the bassist wore chunky glasses like that chap does in Weezer.

Nina Simone didn't sing Feeling Good originally.

Here's a snippet from a Muse fansite called Microcuts -

Have Muse ever done any covers?

The band covered those songs:
- "Feeling good" originally sung by Nina Simone
- "House of the rising Sun" originally sung by Nina Simone, The Animals, Bob Dylan, Dolly Parton...
- "Can't take my eyes off you" originally sung by Frankie Vallie, Manic Street Preachers...
- "Please, please, please, let me get what I want" originally sung by The Smiths

So it appears even Muse fans can't get it right.

I don't know... but to me, they sound kind of generic. Their songs aren't easy to recognize. There's nothing quite spectacular about them... and even if I did like them once I ended up getting bored of them.

They're okay. Not fabulous, not horrible.

Their cover of House of the Rising Sun is bone chilling.

I also think Stockholm Syndrome is quite good.

Stockholm Syndrome is possibly my fave song by Muse.
