Music and TV just weren't meant to go together, in the end. :(
In some ways, it's for the best. Though we really don't need these "music" TV channels wasting space and showing absolutely mind-numbingly idiotic programs... :indiff:

lol does MTV even play music anymore?

[yoselyn]

lol does MTV even play music anymore?

Late at night. And when Michael Jackson died. That's it. :LOL:

[Istya]

I'm watching Muse right now on Live from Abbey Road on the sundance channel. :)

Ugh, not even the "special" mtv channels are worth watching. They show the same videos again and again. It's ridiculous. My friend's band won a contest on MTVU.com and their video is supposedly in rotation now...only no one's ever seen it. Yet, the videos that they beat out get played fairly regularly. /rant

[bellamy'szetagirl]

I thought everyone knew they came out on Tuesday, but apparently not. :erm:
Best Buy is starting to sell some vinyls so that would be cool if they sold the Resistance.

Ha that's probably what I'll do too, unless there's another band performing that I want to see. The only other one announced is Taylor Swift. :rolleyes:



Pretty much! I only watch MTV in the early hours in the morning when there are a few decent music videos on.
What about VH1 Classic? Is that a good channel? I only have cable.

I don't even have cable :noey: I only watch it when I'm over someones house. I'll be making my boyfriend watch the MVAs to see Muse. He's not interested. :LOL:

I don't have cable either:awesome:
I only get 3 news channels and like, 45 christian gospel channels.

Everyone in my neighborhood only watches CNN or HGTV, though....so I guess I'll have to hitch a ride to the other side of town to watch it at my friend's house or find it on the internets a day later:D

[Strawberry_Juice]

We get WGN for some reason here. :wtf:
So there are always Cubs games on, which I- as a Cardinals fan- find highly rude. :phu:

[Barnaby]

It's just one day! :LOL: I'm pretty sure that if we can wait until September we can wait one extra day for the album. ;)

Excuse me, but, um, you do realize that one is equivalent to 24 hours, right? That's some 1440 minutes, son. Seriously too long to wait. I can't handle it, especially if I know all those kids in the UK already have their hands on it.

Golly gee wizz! That's a lot of minutes! :eek: And you also have to take in consideration the stupid time difference so really Europe is getting it even earlier than 24 hours before us lamo Americanos! I'm on the west coast so the only people who have to wait longer than me are those who live in Alaska and Hawaii; everyone else in the WORLD gets it BEFORE ME! :mad:

Shit, I never even thought of that. I guess I should consider myself fairly lucky just to live on the east coast. Ah well, but good things are worth waiting for, yeah?

[klock]

yeah its ok i guess.
better than than just plain vh1
all they show are those dumb dating shows like daisy of love.
so yes.
its a lot better

Cool, I haven't seen it much before.

Music and TV just weren't meant to go together, in the end. :(

Stupid reality TV has even taken over music channels. :noey:

Wish I had Sundance channel! I like watching the podcasts of the Iconoclasts series.
Love the Eddie Vedder one. <3

Just kick him out of his house. :LOL:

I'm a girl. :phu:

If I can wait 3 years, I can wait an extra day.

[Black Absolution]

Same here, MTV is suckage these days.

I have no intentions on watching any of it. I can't stand MTV that much.

[Raining_Muses]

I have no intentions on watching any of it. I can't stand MTV that much.

I think we're recording it, fast-forwarding to Muse, and then deleting it.

Hooray for DVR. :awesome:

[nohopeinfear]

In the UK... MTV doesn't even play music anymore :LOL:

Just has a shitload of shit reality shows and things like that.

The very rare occasions music is on will be at like 3am when only crackheads and hookers are watching :facepalm:

They play a bunch of rap/hip hop/R&B for their "music" portion for the US. And sadly, my sisters love most of those songs. I'm pretty sure I was adopted.

[klock]

Sometimes I watch MTV at 2 or 3 am when I can't sleep, and there are occasionally some decent videos on, but not usually. I randomly saw the video for Call Me by Blondie on MTV early this morning. :LOL:

LMFAO are you serious? Wow. :LOL:

I miss the days when MTV 2 used to have video premiers on Tuesday's at like, 9pm and they were ROCK videos. Occasionally I'll still watch MTV 2 because they'll still show Jackass and Viva La Bam.

Does anyone remember that show from a few years ago called Wondershowzen? It was like a grown up Sesame Street? :LOL:

[Kylee]

US MTV sucks and will forever suck until they start playing good music, not just popular shit hip-hop and Jonas Brothers crap. Have some fucking variety, ffs. Even the MTV channels that are strictly music play terrible stuff.

[Strawberry_Juice]

The only non-music stuff I really really REALLY liked on MTV was Clone High. That show fucking rocked.

Aww I remember going through my goth phase when I was 12 and 13 and watching that religiously. :supersad:

I liked it when they showed really old episodes. Marilyn Manson used to be such a nerdface. :LOL:

Uuughh yeah it just plays whatever sells, and when they do play rock music, it's something like Fall Out Boy or All-American Rejects. No offense if anyone likes those bands, but MTV isn't really taking any "risks" at all with their programming. It's the same videos over and over.

[Black Absolution]

Yeah, it was really weird. :LOL:

*sigh* Maybe we should make our own channel...Muser channel. :awesome:.

Hellz fuckin yeah we should make our own channel. :awesome:

Ugh that show can rot in hell. The only decent show MTV had was the ORIGINAL Real World when it first came on. Now it's just... all bullshit. At least VH1's shows surface AROUND music and are countdowns that are ENJOYABLE.

YAY First channel fan. :awesome:

[Furygirl]

There are so many Muse TV spots lined up in the UK over the next few days. I keep thinking we'll hear some buzz about them doing something on US TV besides the VMAs, since they'll be here anyway. Or maybe later in the month closer to the Giants Stadium gig. I'd love for them to be on SNL or other late nite show. Or even the morning news shows! Probably wishful thinking...

Oddly enough, I was just in Borders an hour ago, and they still had the Sept. issue there. It was on shelves 8/25 in the UK. When I called Borders last week to ask when it'd be in, they said they usually it about 2 weeks later than the UK. So I'm guessing we have another week. Oh, and it's 9 freakin' dollars! Gah!

I have this feeling they are going to be on SNL this go around, let's hope so. I would imagine the push that Warner is going to have behind them this time, surely they will be on at least one late night show.
If they don't hit up any US tv shows when they are touring with U2, then hopefully when they are here during their US tour and are in the LA or NYC area is when they will do a tv spot. :)

$9... well I'm sure when I see Matt is on the cover, everything else:LOL: doesn't matter...

Well hello everyone. Glad to see I'm not the only american fan out there although sometimes it feels like that lol. Any fans from Staten Island NY around? I know that's a long shot...

Not Staten Island, maybe, but there's several regulars on here from NYC. Welcome! :)

Yeah, there is actually. I'm friends with several of them. :happy:

Wish there were more Wisconsin boardies really.

[Destephticon]

Well I just wondered about Staten Island fans because I only know 2 fans and one is my boyfriend and the other is one of my best friends. When people ask the bands I like most of them get some looks but Muse always get a look back in response. I wonder if that will change after the VMA's since they will be on MTV ( I hate MTV).So that may make people at least know there name,but I don't care I still love them, and I'm glad to see New York fans then!!

Hi Destephticon, love that user name by the way lol, I wish lived somewhere near NYC. :)
Thanks!:D

Can you guys access bbc.co.uk/iplayer ?

If you can, search Muse and you can get a 5hr Muse radio special including their live gig in their home town of Teignmouth. It's just awesome!

....Anyone else werided out by Muse being on the same show as Jay-Z? If not, thats fine, but... I was so excited about Muse finally getting some recognition here in the States then it kind of ruined my parade when I started thinking about why MTV here were finally paying attention. And its becuz of Twilight. Thats fine and all, every band needs a stepping stone in some situations, but I found myself confused by the performance. More of confused on how I wanted ppl to react. First off I wanted them to be blown away, then I wanted them to say "cool" and then forget (i am very selfish with this band involving our crap media), then I was mad when they werent trending very far on twitter.
And their performance of "America" was cut short! wtf?

Hello everyone!

I've been trying to join you all here for about a month now, but I had a little trouble getting my account activated. I'm so happy to finally be here! :D

I may be a total newbie here, but I'm not new to Muse. I've been a fan since '99 when I first heard Muscle Museum on a local radio station here in Seattle. I immediately fell in love with their original sound and purchased Showbiz soon after. The rest is history!

It's tough to find many Muse fans near me, especially being an "older" fan, but I'm at least happy that Muse has played Seattle a few times and they get some airplay on at least one radio station here. I'd love to meet some more fans in my area!

Cheers! :musesign:

Hey fellow northwest coaster! lol

Thanks for the welcome! I'm a former Californian, but I've been in Seattle for over 20 years, so it's home and I love it. Come on up anytime and I'll be happy to blast some Muse out my car for you. It's an everyday occurrence! Just look & listen for the beige Suburban with the Muse sticker on the back. LOL! :D

Please direct all responses to this in the dedicated thread on this group (http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=65882), in the Banter forum. Thanks!

Maybe I'm out of line (but I don't think so), but I don't want this subject to get lost in a 142-page-and-counting omnibus "Muse fans in America" monster thread. Frankly, the eight million Americans in New Jersey deserve better. (There's also some rather obnoxious and pushy Euros who seem to think there's no justification for this group, or a thread devoted to it, in their Brit-dominated Banter forum. Well, f--- that s---!) In any event, it's no more trivial a subject than most of what gets precious bandwidth space in Banter, a true waste of space if there is one.

So stand up and represent, fellow 'Jerseyans: post on this (in Banter) and sign up to Muse's own fan "Mafia," today!

Starting a thread specific to your state seems fine to me, but you're kinda making it seem like this thread is not worthy of existing. :erm: And sorry you're getting flak on your new thread.

Edit: Also, it seems like putting a new NJ thread on the International section would attract less negativity. The Banter section is pretty much sink or swim, imo.

Again, musemom, I agree, on both counts. What started as a social-group-announcement thread in Banter (http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=65882&page=3) has grown, or devolved (depending on your POV) into a fundamental debate on the main board vs. International forum as an organizational principle.

Putting my thread in "International" was a non-starter from the start, because, as I explained in Banter, I'd never even bothered with that forum because its description made it seem like it was really for non-English-speaking Muse fans. I put it under Banter because, frankly, it seemed too trivial an issue for Other Muse Topics.

But I'm sure my announcement would also have failed had I simply tacked it onto the end of the USA thread in International. At 142 pages and counting, the thing is simply too large and unwieldy to use. As I pointed out in the other thread, it's the rough equivalent of trying to shoehorn all existing continental western European threads in International into one, and you know that wouldn't work well, either. It's not that the American thread doesn't deserve to exist; it's that we deserve better, as this single thread is utterly inadequate to our needs.

As for the negativity and sociopathology of some of the jerks in the Banter forum, all I can say on that is, I'm not yielding to any of them, much less pre-emptively avoiding a clash. As for my in-character Soprano-ish Jerseyisms, f--- 'em if they can't take a joke, and to hell with any and all of them who presume to shove American-oriented Banter-material threads into International just 'cause they don't feel a US geographical group is sufficiently Eurocentric for Banter -- when it is, otherwise, solidly Banter material.

You'll notice that in the other thread referenced above, my charming critics aren't addressing the underlying issue of the essential dysfunctionality of the one, all-encompassing USA International thread -- and until that's addressed by the board's mods in some way, it's an issue that will continue to come up, at least in Banter, in one form or another, by one poster or another...

I have a suggestion. It would probably take a group effort and I would be willing to help out and maybe we could get other's in the US thread to join in too; how about petitioning to make the US thread into a sub forum split up into states? I think it should also keep the general US thread because as much as we all like talking with people from our hometown, a lot of us still like to chat with others we've gotten to know on the board who are across the country.

As far as where to put your Jersey thread; I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions but I will reiterate what musemom said when she mentioned you belittling the US thread. If you want support from others on this thread, I wouldn't say those types of things. I can tell you that the Muse fans in America thread will not become a Jersey Mafia thread just because you and your Jersey attitude think it should.

It's a known fact that the Banter forum is a bit biased against anyone outside of the UK and people have tried time and time again to make location specific threads in it but so far it has never worked and it's not anything worth getting upset about. It seems you are passionate about getting this Mafia thread up off the ground but I can tell you posting the same thread in different locations where it doesn't fit will not help. The only way is to work with the mods in trying to find a resolution that works for both parties. They have the ultimate say so we have to work with what they will give us.

I think that's a good idea. Realistically though, 50 separate threads is not likely, or necessary, really. Maybe it could at least be narrowed down to region, ie: southeast. Or maybe states where there are alot of board members like CA or NY could have their own thread. I would be cool to have these threads as sub-forums, but like you said, a mod would have to do it. But anyone could just go under International and create their own state-specific thread I suppose. I guess the challenge is getting the word out there for people to look. Otherwise, no one will ever notice. I know of maybe 4 or 5 other GA people, but they're not contained! :LOL: Any other ideas, anyone, or is it just silly?

FWIW, I agree with the direction both of you are heading with this. I'm still so new to the boards that I'm finding new things every day, so I may not be the best person to ask.

Oh well, we'll see if anything happens. :)

Failing a truly international reorganizing of the Banter forum (and I'm not holding my breath for that), I hope this will prove the blueprint for a distinctively American presence here -- keep the general US thread for, basically, banter, and establish regional, state and metropolitan threads to facilitate local communication and cooperation amongst Muse fans.

If you want support from others on this thread, I wouldn't say those types of things. I can tell you that the Muse fans in America thread will not become a Jersey Mafia thread just because you and your Jersey attitude think it should.

You were a tad out of line there. First, I never wanted or intended to convert the whole thread into a NJ Mafia group thread; I never wanted to rely on this thread in the first place. I only intended to drop my announcement into it and hope a few 'Jersey Musers would see it, and deliberately encouraged would-be respondents to do so in my Banter forum thread. The very low posting rate in this thread (in recent days prior to yesterday, a little over one post per day) was one of my misgivings to being confined to this thread by the bullies in Banter in the first place: not nearly enough American Musers would ever see it!

Secondly, my critique of the impracticality of the omnibus US thread was just that and not a personal critique of the users of the thread, so don't take it personally. And as for my having a Jersey attitude, that's to a degree a fair cop, but I think anyone actually reading my Banter thread could tell I was camping it up in a totally OTT way as a "Sopranos"-inspired 'Jersey stereotype.

It's a known fact that the Banter forum is a bit biased against anyone outside of the UK and people have tried time and time again to make location specific threads in it but so far it has never worked and it's not anything worth getting upset about.

The only way is to work with the mods in trying to find a resolution that works for both parties. They have the ultimate say so we have to work with what they will give us.

BION, I hadn't a clue re. any of this, but then I'm still relatively new here and I've never participated in the Banter forum, having written it off early on as being simply not my cup of tea. Now that I have some minimal experience there, I can write it off as being the domain of a bunch of teenaged chavs and their 20-something ilk, all running wild, freely engaging in xenophobic bullying tactics, and indulging in junior modding (something that's deeply frowned upon in at least some other message boards). Shame on the actual mods there for countenancing that. I daresay if a transatlantically popular [American] rock group's fan board treated U.K. fans with such open contempt and institutional double standards, there'd be an uproar from Cornwall to Newcastle, and rightly so. Where's your fighting spirit, I'd_Rather_Dance?

I have one; either that International be split between English-speaking International and non-English International on the Forum level, with the relevant national, regional, etc. breakdowns within that; or that "International" be clarified on the Forum page so as to make it clear that the distinction they intend is national, not linguistic (again, with expanded regional/state/metropolitan breakdowns). I know I'm not the only American Muser to have ignored the whole International forum because of its descriptive line referring to people there speaking in their own respective languages.

Hi! I'm from Northern California:D well....there are hardly any

But however many others there are, you'd be much more likely to find them, and vice-versa, within a N. CA or at least CA thread, than in one general, all-purpose USA thread.


I sent a PM to moderator Kev about creating a sub-forum under this thread, but thinking about it now, I don't think you can create sub-forums under a thread, just within a main topic. :$ My thought was that if there was a sub-forum titled U.S. regions/states or something, then people could create threads specific to their state, or whatever, and they would all be kept under the U.S. section instead of getting spread out all over the International section.

Thank you, and I'm sure you worded it more nicely than I would have, especially yesterday. I hope Kev acts on your suggestion, without our having to organize a petition behind it. I'm pretty sure you're right about the organizational aspect; it'd have to be a USA sub-forum, with the USA [banter] thread under that.

But if Kev and the other mods refuse this common-sense reform, then I suggest at the very least we American Musers get busy and offer our own resistance, and uprising, and do what we may to raise our profile around here... beginning, perhaps, with forming many more American geographical and subcultural social groups: Brooklynites, east Texans, American Expatriate Musers, American College & University Students, American Muser Single Parents, American fans of both Muse and Football.... let a hundred flowers blossom!

[Trilateral_Symmetry_Com'n.]

One more thing: musemom, could you also forward your private message to Kev to the moderator Miss Blee, who co-mods with Kev on International? (Kev is also the sole mod in Banter.) Thanks.

I'm quoting myself! Kev said that really, the Social Groups route is really the only feasible way to create any sort of region/state specific network. It seems to me that those groups are rarely visited, though. I think people forget about them, and they're not as easy to access as threads. Oh well, I tried....

IMHO, that's pretty damned clueless of him. And if Kev doesn't like me saying so, he can lodge his objection right here in the bloated USA International thread, where only a handful of people will ever see it. :mad:

I think the International section is fine like it is. :happy: Maybe if the board got an enormous amount of Americans it would be useful to organise it into regions.


Anyways, 2 1/2 weeks til Muse! I'm trying to make a plan in which all of us Musers going to the Dallas show can meet up at Six Flags the day before. It's right by Cowboys Stadium, and Muse have a 2 day break before the show. Hmmm ;)

Trust me, klock, if you had a separate Texas thread, it'd be a lot easier to organize that.

Can we at least agree on this: since the 'Merkins here who want expanded thread choices don't begrudge the continued existence of this thread for all-purpose banter, those Musers who question the necessity of regional/state/metro threads should nevertheless welcome their potential benefits that your fellow Musers see, and at the very least not hinder or sandbag those who agitate for their establishment?

[klock]

Oh yeah and I know a few pages back people were talking about the Q Mag with Muse on it. It should be available about a week or so after Q's site features next month's cover, or at least that's what the Barnes and Noble's around here do.

[amoremorte616]

Hi! I'm from Northern California:D well....there are hardly any
Muse fans here though:erm: its so sad:(

hey! :D

....I peek in on this thread, see all the quoting and very long replies and...:unsure: it made me skerred
the ideas sounded pretty good.

and Klock: thats what Ive been hearing from barnes and Noble too but for some reason I'm not feeling very trustworthy on that.... :ninja:

I've established a new social group, "Equal Representation (USA wing)" (http://board.muse.mu/group.php?groupid=326), whose mission statement links to and pastes from this thread to explain the need for such a group and for the board reforms it advocates. (You can also find it in my profile under the "Boston Tea Party" avatar.)

All are welcome to join, even those who question the proposed reform of additional USA threads here in the International forum -- actually, the more general devolving of thread control to the users of this forum, regardless of nationality.

Another reform I called upon the mods to effect is greater access for Americans and other foreign nationals in the Banter forum, esp. WRT the publicizing of our social groups (social groups being moderator Kev's proposed solution to our bantering needs).

I thank you for your patience and support and hope to see you there!

IMHO, that's pretty damned clueless of him. And if Kev doesn't like me saying so, he can lodge his objection right here in the bloated USA International thread, where only a handful of people will ever see it. :mad:



Heh, I can quote myself too. To which I'll add now: "...and announce these groups in Banter, in Other Muse.., and in this USA International thread... as well as publicize them in our signature lines!"

[Bugs Bunny, sotto voce] "You realize.. this means war."[/BBsv]

What is the point of making your own state specific thread? It would most likely slowly die. If it were actually popular enough, the social group would maintain its own popularity and posting. This thread is actually relatively slow compared to others.
Just because the Muse International section of the forum says "Feel free to speak your own language" doesn't mean only non-English speakers should post there.
Muse maintains the messageboard at their own expense. Thus, you ADHERE to their rules and regulations instead of complaining how your "rights" are being violated.
Besides, if you feel you're being targeted in the banter section, it's probably because your diction is pugnacious and condescending. Not everyone shares the same sense of humor or worships the Sopranos.

I am actually hoping that the gig dates will take a bit of time to be announced. If the dates are announced while they have some decent momentum from their recent album release, it will make it more difficult to get decent seats. Yes, I am selfish! lol!

^ You are not alone, I'm feeling a bit selfish also. :p I like that it was pretty easy getting GA floor tickets last time I saw them. That was 2007 and they've gained fans since then. I'm really curious to see what kinds of venues they are going to do this time around. I do hope it's a mix of more intimate venues like a House of Blues mixed with larger places.

Seriously, there needs to be a pop-up when Americans get on the board so everyone will stop asking Muse are touring in the spring. :LOL:

From Wikipedia:

"It will actually be our longest US tour to date. Starting at about the end of February or March."
I believe that's from the KROQ Breakfast with Muse interview. They have stated the same thing in several US radio interviews. I think it's supposed to last 'til May.

No specific dates or actual confirmation has been posted on .mu yet, but as others have said, the band's mentioned it on multiple occasions.

That's right, you HAVE to get on a plane to go see them. Well, maybe you'll get lucky one of these days.

I'm seeing them in Vegas in 26 days (OMG!), so "one of these days" is right around the corner for me! :eek: :musesign: But it would be spectacular to be able to see them locally!

:( You're lucky enough to live relatively close to some major cities though, like you said. How far would you travel to go see them?

I'm used to flying, so for me, it's no big deal. I get a bit antsy on any flight longer than six hours, though! (Vegas is about a six-hour flight for me; flying west to Asia or to the east coast, longer.) Since I graduated last spring and I'm now working at a flexible, full-time job, I've been fortunate enough to be able to sneak in short trips (a few for gigs) starting this year.

Is anyone from North America thinking about going to Manchester and/or Wembley next year? :unsure:

Me! The seetickets site was craptacular for the last presale, so me getting up @ 3am Central again is ... debatable whether or not I want to get up!

For that size of a gig, would rather not line up for hours just to get crushed ... so I'll probably be fine with the extra $$ for Level 2...

Representin' Chicago ... there's supposedly a group of "Chicago Fans" but might not be too active?? I'll have to PM the guy ... ! EDIT ~ wow, the Map function says there's almost 1k fans around the Chi ... !

hi Liberty! :) I keep finding threads to join ... TMMI (too much muse information) :p

Hey Jae! :) Yeah, this board just sucks you in, doesn't it? (Well actually, for me, I only subscribe to a select few threads... because yes, there really is TMMI here!)

I'm thinking the same thing about Wembley, especially because UK crowds are very, um, hyper? Hehe. I think I read in the Wembley thread that GA tickets are also for Level 1 seating too, though, but you might wanna check with that thread to be sure.

I'm seeing them in Vegas in 26 days (OMG!), so "one of these days" is right around the corner for me! :eek: :musesign: But it would be spectacular to be able to see them locally!

:( You're lucky enough to live relatively close to some major cities though, like you said. How far would you travel to go see them?

I'm used to flying, so for me, it's no big deal. I get a bit antsy on any flight longer than six hours, though!

Woohoo, good for you!!! :dance: Have fun in Vegas!!!

I would travel across the entire country if I came up with the cash. Long car rides are no problem for me, even though I wouldn't be sitting still for any one moment.

I'm sure for whatever reason you could drag me on a plane, especially to see them. For the first half hour or so, I'd have a slight anxiety attack, followed by nearly killing the small screaming 4 year olds that may or may not be on my flight, but afterwords It might actually be fun. Anything to see those guys, really.

My only problem is flying over water. I've always been very edgy with even being driven over the huge half mile long bridge over the Connecticut River :LOL: Hmm, so I suppose I could fly all over the country, so long as it doesn't involve hours over water.

Long story short, I would pay every last dime I had, and I would fly (over LAND) as far and as long as needed to go to one of their gigs :D I'm such a little wuss.

Wow, it's a good thing you don't live on an island then :LOL:! A Muse cross-country trip sounds like fun! I don't think I could go to every single date in a North American tour—you'd basically be following the band's same grueling schedule—but it'd be cool to pick a few dates and make a road trip out of it!

The longest I've been in a car is about six hours from Vegas to the Grand Canyon and I got really antsy toward the end. Seems like six hours is like my travel threshold or something lol.

In a nutshell, aside from talking about funny slang like that hehe, we've been talking about traveling to see Muse. Tahnee and I are going to Vegas next month and a few of us are considering going to the Wembley show. Oh and how Muse needs to announce US dates like soon.

[Raining_Muses]

Does anyone know when the Wembley gigs that were recorded for H.A.A.R.P.announced or when the American tour was that year (2007 I assume?). Because if Muse are planning on a US tour in March, April, and May shouldn't they have gotten our dates out first? :erm:

And that sounds like a really good idea; I usually do a massively long road trip every year with my mother (who is a HUGE muse fan too), so I may have to bring it up before their tour starts ;)

There was a US leg in the spring and another in the fall of 2007.
http://muse.mu/tour-dates/archive/2007/

Have no idea when they announced Wembley '07 but you make a good point - they announced the 2010 shows ten months in advance, before the US ones! I guess the UK stadium promoters recently confirmed it and want to make some moolah pronto lol.

I have a friend here who loooooves The Horrors. I wonder if she'd come with me if they play together in the US? I doubt it though... they'll probably find another opening band for their US dates.

A ticket as a birthday present from my parents sounds good (birthday is next month). ;)

Are you gonna tryr and get tickets tomorrow? I honestly don't know what to do.

Muse is finalizing a spring headlining tour of the U.S., the band's first full trek here in support of its latest album, The Resistance. Dates and cities will be announced soon.

Yes, but you're very outgoing. Wasn't it you that was telling the entire population of the airport all about Muse? :LOL: It was either you or FrozenPoetry. :confused:



Must be FrozenPoetry. I don't even recall being in an airport since... i dunno... around 8 years old? But yeah, I'm outgoing when I see someone who seems to like something I like a lot, or wears a team I like (or one I really hate.. haha). I did get in a conversation with some guy at Barnes N Noble over Muse once, if that counts for anything.. and I cheered everytime I saw a Muse shirt at the Raleigh gig!

Yeah, must've been her then. She flew to one of the U2 gigs and was like chatting up everyone at venue, converting people left and right, and then at the airport she was like the pied piper or something! :LOL: I was like damn, she must be a pistol!

Hmm didn't hear about that. I wouldn't mind them, and they're better (imo anyway) then some of the other bands they've toured with in the States. I looked up their tour dates and they're listed to play in other countries for Feb. 27 and 28, March 6-8 and 20, so I guess they would be open for some time.

Aww haha those skinny Brits! I bet most girls would kill for his metabolism. :D

I'm one of those girls. :LOL:

[klock]

I'm either waiting to get them Friday or from MuseBay early next year. Still don't know! It's stressing me out.

Oh man, I'm totally joining you for that if I go. :LOL:

Are you going to the Manchester gig as well?

It's stressing me out too! I stayed up last night and my friend was going to get tickets but I didn't find out until 1 am that she didn't have enough money until Thursday. Hope you get a ticket!

No, I'm not going to Manc, but I have a Canadian (:awesome:) friend that lives there, so hopefully I can see her again. We met at a hostel in Manchester.

That's what I'm planning to do, too.

Oh that's right, huh?! :LOL: WOW.

Bring the sleeping bags. :chuckle:

I'm one of those girls. :LOL:

Me too. Skinny girls ftw :D

[Black Absolution]

Me too. Skinny girls ftw :D

Hell fuckin' yeah. :D

[rasm]

I like DIOYY but not as much as The Horrors. DAMMIT. :LOL:

The Horrors was absolutely horrifying horrible at the Copenhagen gig (Denmark). If they don't get things more clean and the front singer still sings like a cat being stepped on, well, you shouldn't hope for them to warm up.

Muse, however, did some really pwoper wock and woll, they always deliver perfect!

Oh no, that's too bad! Will you try again tonight then? I still don't know what I'm going to do. :supersad:

A Canadian living in Manc?! What's she doing there?

[klock]

Hell fuckin' yeah. :D

:chuckle:

You're really into the Manics, right? Did you see them this year? Too bad that they didn't play in very many US cities.

All a matter of opinion. ;)

Yep, she'll be attempting to buy them on the Ticketmaster general sale Friday at 3 am! Aww well there's plenty of time. Last time at Wembley, they released more tickets later.

She loves to travel, and got a work visa. After traveling throughout Europe, I guess she just really loved Manc so she got lucky and got a job working at the desk at the hostel. It was the first job she applied for too! She said she'd try to come down to London if I came.

I think she's from Brandon...not far from Winnipeg.

Is anyone from North America thinking about going to Manchester and/or Wembley next year? :unsure:

Dude, are you going? I'll be at the Wembley show(s). There seems to be a pattern emerging for us Washington/British Columbia fans (Vegas > Seattle > Wembley). Surely I'll be attending any NW gigs during the US tour.

[ChasingDreams]

Dude, being skinny = not fun. Do you know how hard it is for me to find jeans that fit my non-exersised waist and my non-existent ass? they're either too tight or too loose at the legs :'(

and LET'S HEAR IT FOR THOSE GOING TO/HOPING TO GO TO KROQ'S AAC! :D

+1 it's frustrating!

Funny how a mention of The Horrors led to a discussion on skinny people and jeans shopping! :LOL:

Cooool. Good luck to you both.

I'm so jealous of her. I'd love to do that. She makes enough at the hostel to be able to afford staying there, eh? Does she stay at the hostel or have another place to live?

I just went to ticketmaster.co.uk and pretended I was buying Green Day tickets to see how their system worked. When I got to the part where you select how to get your tickets delivered to you it says it's 18.50 pounds to get them delivered to anywhere in the world and 13.50 pounds to get them delivered in the US. What the actual hell? I'm guessing it will be like that for Muse then... I took a screen shot of it to show you guys. Sorry it's a bit hard to make out.

SEATTLE AND WEMBLEY FOR SURE. Still waiting on those pesky US tour dates to come out so I can buy some tickets for those too! Wembley is going to be spectacular though. :happy:
