    Is the band Muse known in the States?

    I know they were trying to break it..don't know how it went. If they aren't..they really should be. That boy is a master of his guitar. Just getting tingles watching tapes from their show last night at Glastonbury. Brings back a lot of memories of watching them at a music fest two years ago while I stood out in an electric storm.

        give me a break...Keane is okay but as far as guiitar playing goes they are nothing on Muse.


        Other songs to check out: Plug in Baby, Newborn (very Radiohead before they crawled up their own asses) and Falling Down.

          Speaking of Muse they used to play at my mates club when they first started out. They played a battle of the bands competiton, and lost!

                      Keane is cool for 12 year old girls, just like Britney.
                      I've seen Muse several times live, excellent musicians, wonderful show.

                        exactly my thoughts..I don't get the whole Keane thing. To me they seems just slightly one step above Busted.

                            it's called a marketing budget.

                                unoriginal radiohead copycats that made it when radiohead stopped rocking and they could easily fill the space created for them by radiohead and left vacant with their departure.
                                they're like creed except they picked a better band to copy.

                                  There's definitley a radiohead influence on that single they released a few years ago. I think it was called sunburn, but if you actually hear the whole album, especially their newer stuff, they're definitley not ripping off radiohead. My opinion, at least.
                                  26 + 6 = 1

                                    I really like their songs 'newborn' and 'bliss', but I'm not a huge fan of the band.
                                    ..and I'm off.

                                      aka hype of a low level band

                                        their one song sounds Radiohead ish but the past two albums haven't had any sort of Radiohead sound. Plus, I still think Matt Bellamy is a virtuoso.

                                          I love them, especially perfect combination of piano and guitar on most of the songs. Their new album 'Absolution' is great. Not like anything I've listened before. And if you haven't watch video clip of it yet you should.

                                            muse don't sound anything like radiohead. They're much more melodramatic and over the top than radiohead.

                                                  exactly.

                                                  For anyone new to Muse a good sampling of tracks would be:

                                                  New Born
                                                  Plugin Baby
                                                  Falling Down
                                                  Bliss
                                                  Time Is Running Out
                                                  Sing For Absolution

                                                    cool...i am waiting for my first guitar to get here this week or next. That would be a cool song to eventually learn.

Just getting tingles watching tapes from their show last night at Glastonbury. Brings back a lot of memories of watching them at a music fest two years ago while I stood out in an electric storm.
                                                        Hey Sarah, do you know the Dutch band Kane?

                                                        Theyre playing in London this weekend i believe. You should really go check them out. I think theyre supporting Maroon 5.

                                                                yes, the classical aspect if very noticble..i didn't really pick up on a Bowie influence though. Other than dress sense, maybe.

Ive seen Kane play a couple of times now and their shows are awesome. Theyre really big in Holland and now are touring other countries trying to get known there as well.

                                                                    You should check out Zillionaire too, they're wicked (ok they're my brothers band) but they're still great. They're playing 17th July (Sat) - Clerkenwell House, which is near Chancery Lane. I might even pop over for that show.. it's my 30th birthday :/
