Of course. There is no substitute for looking into the bands’ background and lyrics for ourselves. I just really appreciate that the chance of falling in love with the music of truly awful people is far less likely here.
Just one reason Metal Storm is so incredibly important and useful for me, is the fact that when I discover a band here, I at least know the music itself isn’t an expression of nazism or some other evil ideology.
We’ve all probably paid for art made by horrible people. There is no way to be aware of every single band’s exact ideology, let alone the beliefs the individual members. Just one reason why… tbc
Written by Guest on 06.12.2012 at 19:30 I can think of a lot of bands that suck and don't belong here. I'm sorry to say Muse ain't one of them.
They definitely do not belong here... But yeah, they don't suck. The only reason I can think about this event being featured here is due to personal reasons from a certain person and nothing else.
There's an upside to this though! Thanks to this chat about Muse I remembered that it had been quite a while since I listened to them so I spinned Showbiz today. Very cool album.

Muse has been utter sh*t over their last 2-3 albums. If this event had been posted back during the days of symmetry or absolution, I wouldn't have minded really.
Muse's vibe actually has some common ground with metal but I would never call it anything but alternative rock. They explore dark themes, rebellion, and are heavy in their own way.

It's a fucking disgrace hip and cool that this event is supported by Metal Storm.
EDIT : Seriously, I don't see why this is a big deal.
Like I said might as well start supporting gigs by Coldplay, Radiohead, Blur, Lady Gaga
Come on now, Muse has a lot more to their music than those bands and I don't see why Les Discrets can be supported for example but Muse not. I'm not saying they should be featured but as far as supporting concerts, it's not that big a deal !

Les Discrets shouldn't be supported either. And how does Muse have more metal to them than the band I mentioned? And Muse is just a mix of Radiohead with Electric Light Orchestra, not more...

I didn't say more Metal, I just said "more"
I meant that Muse's music, although not Metal at all, doesn't seem weird being supported here (at least for me)
