Anybody see MUSE on the MTV music awards tonight? Can't believe he pulled out the 80's looking Status bass although didn't matter he and the band sounded great. Personally, I think the Status Headless bass looked kind of dorky on him and for the style of music they play. I really like the new Muse material though. Chris Wolstenholme has an amazing bass sound but I don't know if the bass sound was all him or also the guy playing the synth behind him.

it might have been his bass- he used a Status with the Senseless things, Vent414, The streets etc. |

Muse new album = not so much. Absolution was their high water mark I reckon.... |

I'm not really a Muse fan, but they are talented cats. But even more than the early albums, listening to this new record it REALLY sounds like the soundtrack to a rock musical. |

Yeah, I likenned the last two MUSE records as an attempt to bridge the gap between the Who's Quadrophenia and Queen's News of the World. Very concept album / rock opera.
