what she says: i’m fine
what she means: to this very day muse has not performed falling away with you live which not only makes no sense but is also a massive upset to muse fans everywhere because who wouldn’t want to belt out the lyrics with every fiber of their being while experiencing the inevitable existential crisis that accompanies the song
Petition for Muse to do another by-request gig bc honestly I think that would fix me.
Okay, there's gonna be a good chunk of alternates, but:
Muscle Museum/Sober
Megalomania/Citizen Erased
Shine (acoustic)
Fury/Blackout
Glorious
Resistance
Big Freeze/Follow Me
Reapers/Drones
Break it to Me
Won't Stand Down/Liberation
Or, if I really wanted to showcase the links to classical music, I'd include these as well/instead of:
Bedroom Acoustics (my beloved)
Exogenisis Symphony (this is a single piece in classical music terms)
Butterflies and Hurricanes
Megalomania
I Belong to You (+Mon cœur s'ouvre a ta voix)
United States of Eurasia(+Collateral Damage)
Drones
MUSERS OF TUMBLR
You have to make a playlist of 10 songs introducing someone to Muse and showcase ALL of their sides.
One rule: Ignore what's a hit song and what isn't. Just show their range. GO!
EUPHORIA LIVE IS SO RIGHT OMG. We haven't had Liberation either I don't think?

Watching the making of Absolution and my new life goal is to be able to play bass whilst holding a fag.
Yo what the FUCK IS THIS????? YOU THINK I CAN CHOOSE?!?!?!?!

Let's just all take a moment to appreciate the magnificence of these pics
If the Muse fandom was different, they would 1000% get cancelled for queerbaiting.
Um, the chorus of Agitated??? Who gave them the fucking right????
Beautiful, gorgeous, I want it permanently etched into my brain.
Excellent work. Glad we came to a decision.

I played the solo from The Handler the full way through today. The STAMINA required is INSANE. The website I use for tabs says the handler is EASIER than like, Supermassive Black Hole or Psycho. There is no way.
Muse release Soaked challenge.
Nice fun update on my guitar playing:
I can play the plug in baby riff with my guitar behind my head.
Did it well a few times then kinda fucked it when I took a video to send my dad but also MY GUITAR IS BEHIND MY HEAD and I tried it for the first time today so.

Muse write songs that make me want to be gay and trans even harder tbh.
I'm sorry, but Matt Bellamy had NO RIGHT to walk around calling Dom gay over colourful trousers when he would REGULARLY prance about the stage wearing various sparkly suits to match his various sparkly guitars.
My guy, that's exactly the kind of thing I, a gay musician, would KILL to do, so. Think about that.
