Nobody, they made Showbiz, that was good, then the just made it again for Origin of Symmetry.
They just steal classical music, turn it into bad riffs, the "amazing" intro to plugin baby? Pentatonic scale on the guitar.
The songs are just scale -> pretentious high vocals + bad lyrics -> more scales -> more high pitched vocals -> scale based solo -> End
Every single damn one.
I can think of worse bands, but plenty of better ones too. I don't really mind whether or not a band plays simple or repetitive music as long as it sounds good, but Muse's music just doesn't appeal to me.
"The most important and recognize player in the history of the country."
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
You don't need to be Vai playing every arpeggio you can think of and shredding your face off to come up with a good riff. Most bands play in scales, especially for solos, and even then some of the best riffs in history are retardedly simple. Smoke On The Water has to have one of the coolest riffs in history and it's barely noteworthy as something to play. And that riff to Plug In Baby might not be amazing, but it is damn cool.Originally Posted by Lindy
I wasn't fond of Muse at first, but I grew to like them eventually. And watching Matt Bellamy play is something I enjoy a lot, because he's a showman.

And it works damn well for me <3
I liked Muse a lot when they first came out but the most recent song, Absolution I think was a real let down. I agree with Pure Strife, if you didn't like songs based on scales or that drew on other sources in one way another you wouldn't be fan of popular music at all.
Bad lyrics is a matter of opinion I guess. I dunno, the guy sings in a key so high I can't here what he's saying.
i like muse, being over analytical of the form of music as oposed to the emotion can only lead to unhappy town.
Your sig is too hilarious and witty, thus i have removed it to protect the minds of all forum goers

I liked thier song Time is running out amd Hysteria
I haven't gotten their cd yet, but i;m working on it
for the most part i like them

The title of this thread may aswell be Who likes Rabies????
Well I like there album "Absolution" alot. Part of the lyrics from "Falling Away With You" is in my sig.
i like them
new born is the best song
good music. To call them brilliant would be a mistake though, it is fairly simple stuff. But simple can be good. Simple can also be VERY VERY BAD, ie: This "punk" revolution that is cheese-pop with safety pins. Muse at least puts some genuine feeling into it. cool stuff.
No they didn't because Showbiz has more acoustic elements than Origin of Symmetry.
And no the dont steal & turn it into bad riffs. Matthew did not steal the peice from Ramanichov(sp) for Butterflies & Hurricanes he used the piece in the song because he is a big fan of Ramanichov's(sp) Piano music, so he gets his inspiration from him.
Space Dementia is a wonderful song & it would not have been so good without the inspiration.
Take a look at the song Sunburn for example the piano is very nice in that particular song.
So where would some songs be without a scale then, he does use different scales such as the harmonic and the blues as well.
I mean of course he is going to use the pentatonic scale as it is a great scale for rocky based songs.
No they are most certainly not i suppose you have only heard a few songs by the band then.
I do agree some of the lyrics he comes up with are absolutly S**t, but going on to solos aren't most solos used with scales?
A solo yes can be used anywhere on the fretboard but sounds much better in a scale because it will be in key. That is like saying all he does is use chords for his songs....perhaps because the song would be a whole lot slightly better.
No hard feelings though
I've got to admit, they didn't really progress from Showbiz to Origin Of Symmetry. They only dropped the acoustic to create more intrest in the band. Acoustic isn't really what "rock" fans like sadly, althougth I love them. Muse wanted to break into the mainstream, so the electric was pulled out. This explains slightly why Showbiz is better, it was made personally, where their latter ones seem so economically aimed.No they didn't because Showbiz has more acoustic elements than Origin of Symmetry.
Errrr.... that's stealing. To be inspired by him, he would have used Ramanichov's style and created his own music. However, i enjoy the song still. The problem is, is that you can only defend so much. let's just accept he took it or "borrowed" it.And no the dont steal & turn it into bad riffs.

I have all the albums (they were intresting oringinally) and they do sort of flow into one another. A bit like Keane really. It's not a bad thing but what you said is soooo typical of a fan. I love the Smashing Pumpkins and Bjork, but I accept that YES some of their songs sound similar. There are so many chords and effects one can use on a song. Sometimes they need recycling. It's a fact of music.No they are most certainly not i suppose you have only heard a few songs by the band then.
Now if only he could prove his voice had some depth, and the tone of it changed, we'd all be happier. Seriously, I feel he doesn't alter the pitch much, except to get higher. Over 3 albums, his voice hasn't developed, and that's odd for a artist, as they mature or develop.do agree some of the lyrics he comes up with are absolutly S**t
Muse are okay, but I'm, not gonna defedn them needlessly.
