Come and worship at the Church of the Almighty Muse

[MatthewBellamysMuse]

I can't be the only one who loves this band more than life itself (well almost).
I only just discovered them a month ago. I can't believe I missed so much.

Just have a nice holiday? That would be a bit gutting though. I wouldn't travel unless it was a place I wanted to go anyway.
Having said that, I'm going to Manchester.

Fair enough MBM, I congratulate you on your awesome fandomness!!

Paris pre-sale on now. To buy or not to buy?

Oh dear, another rash purchase. I now have so many tickets I can't count them all (and £0 left in the bank).

Hi squishabelle,

Yes that was me- saw the mighty Muse on Tuesday at the palais de jordie (or some such spelling!!)in Barcelona. Was v fab- excellent set, lights, sound the whole lot.

Only downer was there doesn't seem to be a smoking ban in public places in Spain, so the concert was viewed through a cloud of cigarette smoke- yuk.

As for flights etc being changed- just had to put up with extra costs incurred or not go.

Did anyone else see them on Johnathan Ross tonight? When are they going to sort out the sound in that studio - it sounded so flat (not as in opposite-to-sharp but as in not dynamic).
I remember a few years ago seeing Rev & the Makers when they had just cracked the charts and thinking what a crap live band they were. They seemed to disappear after their JR appearance. After watching several bands underperform on his prog over the years I have decided it is the studio or the sound engineer or summat - but it's definitely JR and not the bands.

They did sound flat. Muse usually have such a big sound and that didn't come across in the JR studio.

Did any of you see them on TOTP? Wonderful.

Hiya MBM (It's Queensfool/MellonCollie). I did see them on TOTP and thought they were ace!

You a Biffy fan too? Mon the Biff!!!

I am indeed! Really wanted to see them this year but have been too cash strapped so far.

I saw them for the first time last year and I'm hoping to repeat the experience this year.
Simon Neil spent most of the gig naked from the waist up

An update of my ticket fiasco last November - my bank has credited my account with the amount I lost to the scam artists so at least I'm no longer out of pocket. Still wasted many hours and went through a lot of stress though.

Me too. And Manchester. And Paris. We've discussed this before haven;'t we on another thread?

Good stuff MBM

Roll on September!

Roll on June

Twas this thread.

The boys won best band at the NME awards on Wednesday night.
It's being broadcast tonight on C4 at 11.25pm.

Ooh, thanks for that Lyra. I'll try to stay awake to catch it. It seems that they're not performing though. It's Kas'n'Brian (again! didn't they do the Brits too)

I know Kasabian, Big Pink and Paul Weller performed. Not sure who else.
Jarvis Cocker hosting and Slash and Lily Allen giving out the gongs.

There's a funny vid on the NME site of Matt Bellamy being told he'd beaten Dom to the Sexiest Male award.

Big Pink were their support band when I saw them.

I thought that it was a bit bizarre in the Brits when Muse and JLS were in the same category!

That was just wrong, wrong, wrong. I'm glad kasabian won if it had to be anyone other than Muse.

Where did you see Muse? I was at the O2 on November 13th. Big Pink were rubbish, not that I could see them through the towers from where I was sitting.
