Muse got old with me in about a week. I played them until I could take it no longer. That was in January though, time to revisit.

I feel that most of the time the vocals mess up the song for me, they sound too overly cheesy pop. =\

i've only seen Muse once, back in 2004 at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colorado (about 700 capacity, great venue). it was one of the best gigs i've ever been to. ever. they put on a perfect show.

i also have a few of their live albums, official and unofficial. they are also fantastic.

Haarp - Wembley Stadium
Live - Earl's Court
Live - Shepherd's Bush Empire

is there any other live stuff out there that i should grab? i'm pretty picky about quality, i really don't like listening to fan recordings that i have to turn up to 8 to hear what's going on...

Le Zenith, Paris in 2001 which was released as an official live/b sides split recording as 'Hullabaloo'. Definitely, definitely worth checking out if you're after good quality live albums and even more so if you arent familiar with their b sides. It was released on DVD too and I would really recommend getting that as it's quite an impressive visual performance also.

I have seen Muse I think 5 times now and I've never seen an intro like this one. A little jealous really.

I can't really think of any full sets worth getting, some of the live performances on Youtube of New Born and Showbiz are the shit though, you could rip some of those.

I don't see how they're like Radiohead very much at all, besides falsetto and a little of The Bends influence on Showbiz.

I find the vocals to be similar, but that's probably about it, though I tend to think of them as the hard rock Radiohead.

So it turns out that there were two epic B-sides that WEREN'T on Hullabaloo! Definitely check these out if you haven't heard them yet.
