Muse - The Resistance

[TallGuyCM]

People like to make it out like Bellamy shapes his voice to sound like Thom, when in fact that's just what he sounds like.

It's not like he's Scott Stapp trying to sound like Eddie Vedder or the Puddle of Mudd guy trying to sound like Kurt Cobain. Those are two examples of fuckwads who normally wouldn't sound like that unless they tried.

[superfiction]

doesnt hcange the fact that they still sound like a heavy radiohead

[shakermaker113]

much less autechre, much more tchaikovsky.

[Westy]

I can't wait for them to come back to socal. They are the fucking best.

[amyzzz]

shoot. i need to start following their tweets.

[shakermaker113]

did the thing that hegemon quoted actually have any info in it? or is it all garbage?

[hegemon]

It's stupid garbage for us here.

*still 9/14 official album release & maybe 7/20 or earlier release of the first single USoE*

That garbage is going to be part of the clue or something in Matt Bellamy's & Muse treasure hunt contest via Twitter. See what we & my fellow smart Muse fans in the official & Muselive message boards have theorized/speculated/come up so far in the link below ... some stupid endless headache inducing nerd obssessive shit guessing going on there heh heh ... Mr. Dalliard posted a great summary

http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=62988&page=50

the new website has the Map of the United States of Eurasia.

[shakermaker113]

Eurasia doesn't sound like a hint about a US tour. :-(

[shakermaker113]

Azerbaijan. right.

a 30 second glance tells me not to waste another 30 seconds there.

[hegemon]

I don't go in this board that often anymore too *sorry, i enjoy any kind of craps/news when it comes to my favorite bands*

seriously, they will probably announce a solo us tour after their shows with u2

[TommyboyUNM]

Tommy that's a fake/not true.

Muse will never play at tiny Wiltern in LA again after selling out The Forum 2 years ago. But then they did mention that they might do few intimate gigs before ending their BH&R tour.

[TommyboyUNM]

They fucked with me by putting The Pit here in Albuquerque. Dammit. Thanks, hegemon.

[Kid B]

I just want to say...


This single better be amazing.

Seems like there's a shitload of hype behind it. Exciting though. Looking forward to this.

[chairmenmeow47]

tomfoolery, but i will go with you wherever muse goes tommy, count on that <3

[hegemon]

my last update ... correction from musewire in twitter

To clarify!: Treasure hunt = United States Of Eurasia. First single = Uprising. Good luck on Paris and beyond...

Muse is reportedly going to perform Uprising live at MTV's VMA on September 13 in NYC.

No other way to promote a new album now is it.

[shakermaker113]

was that intended to make sense?

[Kid B]

So "United States of Eurasia" is starting to shape up. Part 3 up now. It's definately heading somewhere interesting.

[MuseRadio]

Part 4 is up. I think its great so far. Very Queen sounding.

[amyzzz]

[shakermaker113]

[Kid B]
