Looking at the footage on Channel 4 the sing along to Kinghts of Cydonia was immense, as was every other song from where I was stood! I've seen the foo's 3 times, Oasis, Radiohead, the Killers, Arctics twice, Fratellis twice, Snow Patrol twice, Sterophonics (only once thank God, never again, so boring), the Strokes, Kooks twice, Kanye West, Keane, Kasabian, James and a ton of other bands and none of them have the same energy Muse do. They don't need the lights and props, anyone who went to the stripped down Royal Albert Hall gig will tell you! They have massive showmanship and don't just take to the stage like every other tom dick and alex turner. They turn the show into a spectacle of pure power. I saw them at Reading 06 for the first time, they played after the Arctics and made them look like a tribute band from Butlins. All the bands I've mentioned were just 'ok' performances that I was happy with, but I want more than that after seeing Muse. I'm actually worried that every other band I see from this point on is going to feel incredibly boring, crap and souless.

lmfao!!! Ian Brown, he has nothing but the worst voice to grace the earth! What a loser! Why would you want to watch an aged has-been with an audience full of 40 somethings when you could be watching the greatest live band in the universe! Muse absolutely rocked the whole of Weston Park, I've never seen anything like it and believe me I've seen a lot of live bands!
