NB: THIS WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED December 2004 ON MY OLD BLOG.
I have decided to pull all my music reviews/comments etc into one dedicated music blog. A select few old articles will be posted here alongside new posts. Enjoy!
A huge venue, sold out for two shows, but is it big enough to contain Muse’s ego? Muse’s eccentricity shone through the night, much like the swirling logo that flashed across the London skyline as we left the venue. Supported by Soulwax and The Zutons on the first night of the two dates, Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard entertained Earls Court in the only way they know how - excelling beyond the boundaries even they created. From the opening chords of Hysteria to the closing ring of Stockholm stopping off to play “the new one”, drop balloons in Plug In Baby and squeal through Dead Star. If on the first night Matt trashed a guitar and threw another one into the crowd, what will the final night of Earls Court hold?
Their live show is one that will never cease to amaze, provided you’re not sucked into the dangerous oblivion of the moshpit. Love them or loathe them, live, Muse destroy the rulebook they wrote on live performance. Astounding, breath-taking, cliché-ridden; there are no words to describe the egotistical Muse experience.
