Anyway - Muse are cool, but something that is more background music than active listening (to me anyway)
Did anyone else hear that interview on BBC about how they came about the name of the album: "Origin of Symmetry". Completely mad!! Here is a bit of the interview, with Steve Lamacq:
Where did the title of the album come from?
"I was reading some books just after we did a Dave Bottrill session. One called 'The Elegant Universe' and one called 'Hyper Space', which are theories about what the Universe is, and I was just trying to get my head around it. It had a lot of mathematical concepts in it, that I'm not very good at and I was trying my best to grasp. At the end it was saying the next big question for science is 'what is the origin of symmetry'. Apparently there are all these other universes that have no stability, this is the only one that has. I read into that title and related to something we were doing while we were making that album. I became interested in the fact that music is completely chaos theory, completely random vibrations in the air, and somehow we translate that. Me make sense of what is chaotic and make it into something beautiful... I also realised how important music is to me and what it is for me. From when I was very young it would always make me forget everything around from me and come into a very blissful, or simple, state. Throughout all my life it's been an escape from everything, and as you are in that process of escape you see all those layers peel away or all those things that imprison you in your life... To me that's the only thing that is me, everything else is down to evolution and where I was on the planet - I could have been anyone, and I'm trying to find the most basic, simplistic, form of what I am. I can relate to those moments in my life when I've been playing music - it's like music is my origin of symmetry."
Now if that's not a bit weird, I don't know what is. But then, you know what they say: "There's a fine line between genius and madness", or something like that!
Anyways, if you wanna read the rest of the interview, go to:

Nice.
However I cannot deny their talent and appeal,it just don't do it for me is all.
But I'd rather listen to Muse than 99% of the floaters bobbing on the charts.
"Plug-in Baby...crucify my somethingmumbledhere...eeeeEEEAAAARRGGHHH"
and Matt Bellamy
> "eeeEEEEERRRRAAAAHGHHH" over ever song.
lol i agree with this little phrase totally! If you ever see him live he's a bit of a show off too. Can't blame him with that much talent though :-)
:)
Go on and off them... love Sunburn and New Born
We do "Walk This Way" and "Wild Thing" (Tone Loc) for warmup during rehearsals, but we do not, under any circumstances play covers in front of other people.
