  Oh yes. Now I remember Muse. I saw a video for a song called "Knights of Cydonia."
 
 That song was horrible. Is all their stuff that bad?

muse is actually an excellent band.  Knights of Cydonia isnt my favourite track on my favourite album, but they are one of my favourite bands.
 
   they have very large sounding rock. i think Queen would sound like this if they were still around and progressing with the times.
 
   they put on a great show too!  
 
  but to rhett:  you wouldnt like any of their stuff.

I LOVE Muse, why the fuck are they opening for My Chemical Romance?
 
 I'm blown away by this, and i truly hope they come to DC because i've never seen Muse.

It does seem to be a new trend...UK-NME-band opens for US-pop-punk-emo-band.  A few years ago Ash opened for Taking Back Sunday (I think?).  You just had Bloc Party with Panic at the Disco, and now this.  I can't wait until we see "Live at Verizon Center, Good Charlotte with special guests Babyshambles"
 
 (I too have to admit that MCR is a step ahead of the rest of the pop-punk-emo crowd.)

Muse puts on one hell of a show.  I'm not the biggest fan of their latest album though.  and, I hate My Chemical Romance.  This is bad news.

I was at the Curiosa festival and heard the band from a distance, and thought they were alright but I wasn't into them at the time.  They were the last openening band before The Cure went on after.
 
 I think a year later I heard the song Stockholm Syndrom and I was hooked.  Bought the album that has that tune, which is solidly good, and then started buying all their other stuff.
 
 Origin of Symmetry is phenomenal.  Their first album is a bit of a dud (Showbiz).

whoops bad edit

Muse sold out the 75,000-seat Wembley Stadium in a couple hours. Good for them! I'll bet ten bucks that MCR is one of their openers.
 
 I still think MCR are the bigger band here in the US though.
 
 I really liked the first three albums, but I think Black Holes is a stinker. Absolution was great because it rocked, and Black Holes just seems too gimmicky.

Saying a band sold out 75,000 seats usually is a dead giveaway that the band either sucks, or is a bunch of over the hill geezers. Or both.

actually, saying a band sold out 75,000 seats is a dead giveaway that rhett will hate them with a passion before he's even heard a single note.  obstinance is to be expected.
 
 too bad, they're a damn talented band...

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

See my post above. I've heard an entire song by this band.
 
 I'm sure there are others that share my sentiment. The entertainment tastes of the general public suck.

I was unaware the general public liked Muse.

muse = incredible.
 
 opening for MCR? strange.
 
 i picture two completely different crowds heading out to those shows. i mean, i guess they might overlap a bit, but hardly. i saw MCR at voodoo fest and was entertained from a distance, but i'm definitely not a huge fan. my 16 year old sister, on the other hand, loves them.  she'll probably flip out at the thought of seeing muse & MCR together. i flip out at the thought of seeing muse live again, period. they're great. (but don't know if i'll pay heaps to see them play a short set in an arena...)
