Muse UFO tackles Slayer

2010-06-07 by Damrod EMERITUS | 56 Comments
One for the category "odds and sods": This past weekend the infamous Rock am Ring took place for the 25th time at the Nuremberg Ring in Germany. Among the many bands playing at the festival were Muse, which performed with an epic and futuristic show on the festivals centerstage. One of the highlights of the show was an UFO which hovered over the stage, including a silver shining alien descending from the flying object, performing many artistic maneuvers in the progress.

Unforeseeable side effect: while all this took place, MTV Europe was broadcasting the performance of Slayer live on most, if not all it's national stations Europe wide. When aforementioned Muse UFO took to the sky, it disrupted the signal of MTV's broadcasting vans, leaving Slayer fans all over Europe with white noise instead of Thrash Metal on their screens.

Final Score: Brit Rock 1, Thrash Metal 0

Muse probably did the stunt during some Resistance songs just to distract the crowd from how BAD their Resistance songs are....

I don't care what anyone says, this is funny.

Also, these comments do prove useful to me. Anyone who uses the word sellout I can file away as a person whose opinions I can safely disregard in the future.

I've said it before and i'll say it again - The Resistance was yet another amazing album from Muse that is absolutely on par with both Absolution and BHAR. And World Painted Blood is Slayer's 2nd best album. (next to Seasons, of course.)

Resistance has two good songs and a bunch of songs that range from below-standard to mindfuckingly horrible. Even the best two songs (Unnatural Selection and MK Ultra) are only good in how well they rehash the sound of the older, more creative Muse.

@ StrizzMatik I agree w/ you about Unnatural Selection being one of the better songs on that album, but MK Ultra was kinda meh. I, personally, loved the songs on The Resistance where they went completely out of their comfort zone (Undisclosed Desires, I Belong to You). God forbid they actually attempt to CHANGE UP THEIR STYLE. Hell, if anything, i'm glad they didn't record a direct clone of Absolution. That album, while it has some of the best songs of their career, also has WAY more filler than The Resistance.

StrizzMatik

Nah dude, Absolution even in its weaker moments is twice the album that Resistance is on it's best day. What's the filler exactly? Endlessley and Blackout maybe, but even those songs are still good. At least six of Muse's top 20 best songs are on that record.

Muse changes / evolves regularly from album to album, some in baby steps, others with big risk-taking. The problem is, The Resistance is an overproduced, musically lazy, lyrically terrible, egotistical, directionless mistake of a record and it's such a huge drop in quality from even BHAR it's stunning. I love it when bands change their style and evolve into something different and better. That is, as long as it isn't badly executed or is blatantly grasping for a commercial direction at the expense of everything that made them interesting and unique, something The Resistance is guilty of on both accounts.

The Resistance is fucking terrible aside from Exogenesis. On days where I'm feeling in a happy-go-lucky kind of mood, I can listen to the other songs without getting pissed off.
