A live performance of an epic!

in the early '80s, I absolutely wore out my ears listening to Dire Straights (just like ELO in late '70s)
then in the early '90s - a favorite distraction was Matthew Sweet, especially his Girlfriend album

This made me smile a whole lot today, not to mention indulge in some spontaneous headbanging. This Muse song is celebrating the 20th anniversry of its first live performance and the brilliant French fan site has put together a montage of it being played across the years. It was the first song of theirs I ever heard and by the time the bass came in after the piano intro I was well and truly hooked. Some epic gigs here, many of which I was lucky enough to attend. For me ninja twin BSJ there's lots of footage of Chris the bassist, sporting some interesting hairdos (and hair don'ts) but always looking divine. Sadly it's now relegated to a disappointing "Metal Medley" live, but we the hardcore fans are hoping that's only a blip and it will return in full next tour.

Not gonna argue about the demented part, but not so sure about him looking like a cockerel; to me he looks more like a rodent.

The best therapy for any problem you might have is playing music with friends.

I don't know which rodent has more papers under his belt, Bellamy bills on the bank or the gerbils forms chewed.

Eloise: unomusette, you are so right about all of us being a tiny bit from Birmingham. I can't tell you how many times I have had the Birmingham blues and wished I could be there. Aug 29, 2024 15:01:23 GMT

eloneen: We've got nasty weather here in Central NC- rain, high winds, possibility of tornadoes until 6PM - nothing dangerous so far here. There are tens of millions of people affected by this storm. Stay safe! ::animated-smileys-hug-008:: Sept 27, 2024 14:34:21 GMT *
