Details of Muse and the Ticket Luck value
Muse
Muse - a British rock band formed in Teignmouth, Devon in 1997, with members Matthew Bellamy (lead vocals, guitars, piano, keyboards), Chris Wolstenholme (backing vocals, bass guitar, keyboards) and Dominic Howard (drums, percussion), play a fusion of alternative rock, Progressive Rock, classical music, electronica and heavy metal. The band is recognized for their vigorous live performances and frontman Matthew Bellamy's unconventional interests in global conspiracy, extraterrestrial life, theology and the apocalypse.
The group formed after Matthew Bellamy effectively auditioned for the part of guitarist in Dominic Howard's band. They were caught up in a predicament when their second guitarist Phys Vandit decided to quit, so they asked close friend Chris Wolstenholme to learn to play the bass guitar. The band changed names many times after this, such as Gothic Plague, Carnage Mayhem, Fixed Penalty, and Rocket Baby Dolls; ultimately adopting the name Muse.
Under the name Rocket Baby Dolls and with a Gothic/glam image in 1994, the group won a local battle of the bands contest, trashing their gear in the process (they were "the only real rock band" there). Shortly after they skipped university and took it as a profession. They changed their name to Muse and started playing concerts in local clubs like the Cavern in Exeter.
After a few years, Muse played their first gigs in London and Manchester. The band had a significant meeting with Dennis Smith, the owner of Sawmills, a recording studio in a converted water mill in Cornwall, S.W. England, which resulted in the release of a self-titled EP, of which the front cover was designed by Muse's own drummer, Dominic Howard, on Sawmill's in-house Dangerous label. Their second EP, the Muscle Museum EP, attracted the attention of influential British music journalist Steve Lamacq and the weekly British music publication NME. Dennis Smith consequently, co-founded the music production company Taste Media especially for Muse.
Their second album, Origin of Symmetry, again produced by Leckie, possessed in a heavier, darker rock sound, with Wolstenholme's bass, with overdriven, distorted or synthesized sound, sometimes using classical techniques on songs like "Space Dementia".
The band experimented with eccentric instrumentation, such as a church organ, Mellotron, and an expanded drum kit. There were more of Bellamy's high-pitched vocal lines, arpeggiated guitar, and idiosyncratic piano, merged the works of pianists of the Romanticism movement, particularly Russians such as Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, also with the inspiration of minimalists such as Philip Glass. Bellamy cites guitar influences such as Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Jimi Hendrix, and Tom Morello (of Audioslave and Rage Against the Machine), the latter evident in the more riff-based songs on Origin of Symmetry, and in Bellamy's extensive use of pitch-shifting effects in his solos. The album also features an adaptation of Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse's "Feeling Good".
The general peculiarity of Muse's essentially rock style has seen them likened to the rock band Queen, although this is partially due to their way of working the stage, Bellamy sharing a lot of charisma like that of Queen's Brian May.
In 2003, Absolution- a new studio album was released and produced by Rich Costey. The album displayed a sequel of the experimentation displayed in Origin of Symmetry, while maintaining a sense of the band as a three-piece. The album comprised of the hit number "Time Is Running Out".
The band launched their new LP in May 2006, produced again by Rich Costey and titled Black Holes and Revelations. Shortly afterwards, the album was leaked to the Internet. The finished album was released to the Japanese market on 28 June 2006 with an extra track, "Glorious," that is not present on the rest of the world's releases but was available if pre-ordered from iTunes. The album was released in Europe on July 3, 2006 and in North America on July 11, 2006. It charted at No. 1 in the UK, much of Europe, and Australia and also achieved American success, reaching No. 9 in the Billboard 200 album chart. Black Holes and Revelations was nominated for the 2006 Mercury Music Prize, but the prize instead went to Arctic Monkeys. The album attained a Platinum Europe Award after selling one million copies in the continent, and the band received the 2006 Q Award for Best Live Act.
The album's title and themes are the work of the band's fascination with space, Mars and Cydonia, the Book of Revelation and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The artwork is designed by Storm Thorgerson and depicts a landscape of the surface of Mars with four men seated around a table and four miniature horses on it.
The band will ostensibly be headlining next years Glastonbury Festival (2008). Though, they were considered to be playing this year, but decided against that in favour of playing 2 shows at London's Wembley Stadium. The organizer of the Download Festival at Donnington Park is also confirmed as being interested in having Muse headline the festival.
