]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Comment on Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse I hate it when they compare Radiohead and Muse. They are both great bands, but very different. Both of them are extremely talented, and would be fun to play on rock star and guitar hero. There are better songs from Radiohead then creep to. In Rainbows album is so great. Jigsaw falling into place would be awesome to play.

PieroPhoenix

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Furthermore, Supermassive is possible one of their best songs from all the albums.

Jest

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Should have put Starlight on there.

Br00klyn-Grenade

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> WANT. SO MUCH!

yeah, i randomly got a chance to listen to Muse through Pandora and thought they were awesome. Black Holes and Revelations is a great CD, but i need to find the others.

Jesterhead369

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Reading the comments I was rather surprised to see how many had never heard of muse. Ok so they're a british band and I'm british but they have so many amazing songs and are liked so widely I assumed they were as big outside of europe aswell.

No advice on other bands, sorry just avoid supermassive as it is possibly their worst song from all the albums.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> YAY for muse love :) My favourite band for a long time now. Glad to see that they are getting some publicity.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Muse is great and I still play GH2 and 3 regularly between sessions of Rock Band, Call of Duty 3, Halo 3, and now GTA 4... god I wish I didn't have to have a job there is way to much gaming goodness right now.

Sorry... this comment is totally pointless unless I can come up with another recommendation... Umm... Try some Deerhoof and some Digitalism. They're pretty good. Not sure how muse-like, but fuck it :)

JebJoya

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I would much prefer this to go to Rock Band, but I'm definitely getting this. Although Rock Band could have the same pack next month and I'd still buy it.

Madnoir

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I'm excited to see Muse again, though I would have much preferred to see it on Rock Band. Always wanted to destroy the lyrics to one of their impossibly long held out notes.

Oh and MUSIC?

*Um, The New Pornographers are not nearly as intense as Muse, but still feel as new and fresh.

*Coheed and Cambria can be amazing if you are willing to deal with the angry ranting of Highschool student haters. But they can be very epic at times, or simply puzzlingly good in their older albums.

*Say Anything are a band then can jump back in forth between nothing special and incredible through to course of one song.

*Radiohead are appearently Muse's main influence. Muse is suppose to be some kind of successor to "Old Radiohead" (aka before they got weird.) But I just tried getting into them too late, and couldn't feel it. But chances are you already like them. A lot.

*"...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead" isn't nearly as deathmetal as its name makes it seem. Their later albums are as new and unique as music is going to get at this point. Definitely worth hearing the whole album of "Worlds Apart" straight through.

Anyway, I hope this list has one you like!

Bluetom

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> "Knights" was the song that convinced me that Muse is the band that Dragonforce is parodying.

VeeKaChu

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @tubby: They've always written songs, the problem with Ire Works is that a)It's very unfocused, b)They started repeating themselves (There are riffs lifted straight from Calculating Infinity and Miss Machine) and c)Sound very undecided as to where they're heading.

Don't get me wrong, Black Bubblegum, for example, is a great song... but Milk Lizard is an exercise in pointlessness.

zoesch

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I'll admit it. I had never heard of Muse before Guitar Hero III. One of my favorites now.

JustFrozen

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I'd demand In Your World from Muse as its one of the greatest songs ever thought a bit pointless for guitar hero as I dont own it...

I would very much like Paranoid Android from Radiohead in it, any fans of Muse should check it our and see why theyre king and have Muse fast against the wall to paraphase the song and insert Muse in to it to illustrate my preference of one band over the other while liking both.

I officially hate US radio btw.. we have plenty of good bands... many more than people think... just that most of them dont get too much air time... the UK's not too much better off but its still better off.

SaanZ

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> A word to the wise, Harmonix: Activision seems to be on the right track of late with releases like Muse and Dropkick Murphys, cool music that people actually listen to. Whereas the Rock Band releases have been the likes of Judas Priest... what's next MegaDeath? yikes. It's time for Harmonix to get back on track! Thank you GH3, you have just reclaimed your spot in the stack of games next to my tv (2nd from the top, right below COD4).

Ryno2323

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> It's fun how people in the states have never heard of Muse, I've been a fan for just about ten years now, those guys are awesome. If you want my musical picks I'd have to start with The Mars Volta.

solidblur

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> AWESOME. I vowed never to buy another GHIII track pack, especially since Rock Band kicks its ass, rips out its heart, and politely hands it to them in a little baggy, but this track pack is a must. Now I'd just like them in Rock Band. I never even heard of them before GHIII, and now I have all of their CDs. Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations being my favorite. Supermassive Black Holes is probably my least favorite song on the album, but the other two are great songs. I've been listening to both albums non stop the past couple of months actually, so this is pretty cool to hear. I still want Muse in Rock Band though.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> dammit! I don't have xbox live... ugh. Those are some great songs that I would love to play.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> GOD DAMNIT... I really wanted this on Rock Band.

gamedismantler

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> If you have heard the song but haven't watched the video then go watch it.

I mean, kung fu, cd's spinning on exposed car motors creating a 3D image, Valkyrie looking chicks on unicorns, and laser guns set in a wild west themed set makes for some of the best video work ever.

ehlaren

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @zoesch: Ire Works is a great record. Are you a "Calculating Infinity" purist? The growth that band has shown over the last two records is amazing. They're still crazy but they learned how to write actual SONGS.

tubby

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I have not bought either music game for my ps3, but damn it if this announcement isn't swaying me to GHIII. I love muse, But I would love to imitate bellamy on a few trackin in Rock Band. Wise up harmonix!!

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Muse is simply amazing, guess I'll have to buy GH3 now

Satis24

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I think Stockholm Syndrome is a great choice, but the others, not so much for GH. Supermassive Blackhole might be fun, but I want more more more of Muse.

Some of their best songs have a great amount of piano, so that would be hard to mimic - but some stuff from Origin of Symmetry and Showbiz would be nice

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Words cannot express my joy right now.
Muse is easily my favorite band.

Pangaru

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Muse is great...and apparently huge in the old country! First group to sell out the new Wembley. Map of the Problematique would be great for Rock Band

DCSimian

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Editors are kind of Muse-like, and like Muse they are popular in the UK (a #1 album) while being almost totally unknown in the US. Lots of dramatic rocking out and such. Both their albums are great, just get one.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @Chucklestyle: Agreed, but any Muse is good Muse. Consider this pack sold.

I fucking love Muse.

edb87

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> To all the people saying those songs aren't good choices and would rather have Starlight and other songs:

The songs they picked are guitar heavy songs. Starlight is mostly bass and drums with the signature piano riff... there is guitar, but not enough for a guitar game.

And Exo-Polotics, Supermassive Black Hole, and Stockholm Syndrome are all super fun to play on a real guitar so I would imagine that it would be fun in a game too.

The thing to realize is that a lot of Muse songs rely heavily on Bass. Chris W. does not get the credit he deserves. All three of those guys rock though.

somekindarobit

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I'd like one ticket for the "this should be in Rock Band" bandwagon please.

Chucklestyle

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> As many have said already, I've been addicted to "Time is running out" for years, although it would be fairly monotonous to play in a game.

New Born would also be an amazing choice.

Lapoisse

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Check out Porcupine Tree. They're a great band who are probably not as well known as they should be. Similar enough to Muse also.

Grundig

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @Shteve: I don't think a fan of AFI would be the actual crowd for Dillinger Escape Plan (Although I know a few who are). DEP used to be one of the most savage and destructive mathcore bands around (After all they sorta invented the genre) unfortunately they stopped honing their craft and pulled a Metallica. They are now the slower calmer version of their former selfs... which I'm not really digging at all.

BTW, DEP live is along with AC/DC one of the best shows I've ever seen in my entire life.

muse is definitly a great band, they used to be pretty big here in belgium actually.

This pack should be in Rock Band, damn it.

I thought this post was announcing Hysteria would finally be available for Rock Band on Tuesday.

What a cruel world.

skullivan

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I've got to agree on the deep and powerful wishes that there was a Muse pack on Rock Band. I absolutely would die of sheer happiness to be able to do the singing part. Plastic guitars are only so satisfying. Muse is seriously one of my favorite car-sing along groups.

teraphony

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> One of my more recent obsessions you might like is LoveLikeFire. Guitar work can be a bit similar to some of Muse, and I've completely fallen in love with Ann Yu's voice. Check out Skin and Bones or From a Tower and see if you like em. [www.lovelikefire.com]

Like others have suggested, pandora and last.fm are decent avenues for music discovery, as are any of the countless music blogs out there. Hell, go to metacritic, see what's generating positive reviews, and read a couple to see if they might be your thing.

Defenestrated

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Mike, radio isn't the only way to listen to music. I recommend you use Pandora (www.pandora.com). You suggest an artist that you like (in this case Muse) and the website will play you music of that artist and similar artists.

You could also use last.fm (which I think is completely awesome) which is a social/music networking website. It recompiles data based on the music that you listen to while on the computer and recommends you similar artists. You can also see what music your friends are listening too. That way you can find out new music.

You could also listen to Frecuencias Alternas every saturday at 9pm. It's a radio show from Puerto Rico. It's in spanish but they play music from all around the world. It's a pretty great show and I've discovered new artists with them.
Listen it at [www.wrtu.pr]
That's the radio station address but they'll have a website up soon.

haran_elessar

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @BitterAndThenSome: Just make sure they omit Ire Works... that record is just absolute crap.

Anyway, since I see a good bunch of Muse fans, you ought to check this other band called Khoma

[www.myspace.com]

It's a side project from the guys from Cult Of Luna and other Swedish post-metal bands, it's sorta like a groovier and heavier version of Muse (The vocalist sounds quite similar but there's plenty of differences in tone and singing style not to label him a copycat). Hope you guys enjoy!

zoesch

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Comment on Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse Yes spni! Someone else appreciates the awesomeness that is amplifier!! As far as recommendations go here's my current/all time favourites, most of which include the greatest songs that should have been in a GH by now Amplifier - amplifier / the astronaut dismantles HAL Dream theater - metropolis pt2 / awake Sonata arctica - unia / winterhearts guild Nevermore - enemies of reality Symphony x - the odyssey Really I'd recommend ANYTHING by any if the above! They're the few bands of who I actually like all their records! Not counting bands you're sure to have heard of like megadeth or pink floyd (slight contrast :-) Cheers --Rob

LaceyJorts

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Muse is a wonderful band, I found them a few years ago (suggestion from iTunes store, surprisingly enough [yes I use iTunes]), and the best part is that pretty much every one of their songs and music videos can be listened to/viewed on their website- muse.mu

God I'm like a walking billboard. Also, I'm terribly terrible at Guitar Hero, Frets of Fire, and probably Rock Band too.

Morigato

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> There was a somewhat obscure Muse track on the trailer for 28 Months Later that totally made the difference between a decent trailer and an awesome trailer, and that song was called Shrinking Universe.

@Shimmergeek: Yeah, I'm a fan of their older stuff, too. I think Origin of Symmetry might be their best album, and the b-sides from that album are also their strongest.

BtownDesignGuy

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Muse is one of my favorite bands and this makes me happy even though I only own the Wii version. -However-, I don't like any of these songs except for supermassive black hole. If they would've added Thoughts of a dying atheist then I would've rushed out and bought GH3 for my 360. That song has the coolest guitar solo I have ever heard to this date.

eskimo-bob

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Maaaaan...just when I was about to pull the plug on the Guitar Hero franchise...they gotta go and release and 3 Song Track Pack of one of my favorite bands...and including "Stockholm Syndrome" (which is one of my favorite songs by them) MAKES me have to buy this.

Looks like GH found a way to keep itself on life support...for now.

JoshuaB81285

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @Benjamin Linus:
...Yeah, same here. I love me some Muse but hate the entity known a Guitar Hero. Ok, maybe hate is just a little too strong..I'll say I do not wish to play GH thank you. But this is a rare case where it almost makes we want to play GH again.

Benjamin Linus

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Damn, this is going to make me go out and buy Guitar Hero 3!
I love their music (in particular Black Holes and Origin of Symmetry) and their are the only band I have ever seen live. Small concert back in Belgium right after their first CD came out and before they were well known. Even then Matthew Bellamy was unbelievable in the way he handled his guitar.

Would love to hear more of them in the USA (where I live now).

Thriceborn

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Great, will definitively get this pack, but... the song choices are a tad bit bad. Stockholm Syndrome? Sure, but the others? Anything from anything other than Black Hole would be fine (Newborn and Time Is Running Out for example. :P)

Alazar

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @Kayin: Yeah, Priestess is awesome. Track 3 on that record slays.

tubby

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> also, they need a Death From Above 1979 track in these games.

Kayin

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> first muse album still best muse album.

anyways, screw that. the fact that Priestess is on Guitar Hero 3 is funky. Check their album, Hello Master, especially if you like QotsA or Wolfmother or The Illuminati. Lay Down is not even the best track on it.

If you ever get a chance to see these Montreal rockers live, do yourself the favor.

Kayin

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Muse is amazing, they should really be among the elite rock acts today. There's not much to recommend them too - they're kind of "one of a kind", unless you count the obvious Radiohead/Queen influence.

Check out Mute Math, Mars Volta, Placebo, and the newer records from Thrice.

tubby

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @Wreckoner: Time Is Running Out was my first taste of Muse too, been a fan ever since. Srockholm Syndrome will be awesome to rock out with but I would have preferred Assassin to SMBH.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I'm getting shivers. Just another reason to get GH3 sometime soon.

RPharazonius

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @TomSkylark:

What about adding some Belle and Seb. Something off of Dear Catastrophe Waitress would be cool.

cocomo

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> If the full album of Black Holes and Revelations were to be released in Rock Band I'd buy it in a heartbeat. City of Delusion is my favourite song off the album.

As for recommended bands, I listen to Queens of the Stone Age and Mars Volta. Mars is a bit of an acquired taste, some of their songs run 13 minutes and their band has 10 or so members. I could also recommend Tool, but they and Muse sound nothing alike.

Bluecell

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Try buying Muse's full discography, it's the only way you'll come even close to anything that sounds like Muse :).

Oh, and I saw Hard-Fi up there, try them too, you may like those guys.

TheRedBayonet

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @Americo: Agreed. Entirely.

This might be enough to make me go pick up a version of GH III when I finally get a 360... (I have the GH II 360 guitar already from working on the game, so I'll just need the software)

But they have way too many to just pick 3. I would so buy an album's worth of tracks, though they would have to be picked from multiple albums since they have a bunch of songs that just wouldn't translate.

robotleawesome

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> You have to admit, despite what your opinion of the direction they're taking GH in, they've done a far better job on producing a regular flow of DLC for GHIII comparred to what we saw for GHII.

TRT-X

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Considering they wouldn't have chosen old songs, those 3 aren't a bad selection of the recent albums. Now I really wish I'd have a PS3 to be able to play download this package instead of being stuck with the wii version !

Muse really haven't been shown a lot of love from America. Here in Canada, we don't hear them often on TV or radio. They are unknown to a lot of my friends, even if they're listening to a lot of music. Time is running out and supermassive black hole were played but that's it. I don't know about USA but they doesn't seem to have been played at all ! I wish they would so we could get some tour dates more often !

@BitterAndThenSome: I've seen Dillinger Escape Plan in show, before AFI and it's clearly one of my worst musical experience ever. I know that tastes aren't questionnable but I hope you don't really like them.

@4Degrees:

Creep is no where near as good as any of there other stuff. Creep to me is the highlight of Pablo Honey. Also, apart from the falsetto voices they aren't that similar.

Yeebles

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> It's weird to hear American people talk about Muse as if they are an undiscovered gem. They are one of the biggest bands in the UK.

Plug In Baby
Hysteria
Time Is Running Out

For a band with similar Muse energy, but with a different (read: southern) sound, give Kings of Leon a listen. Those guys were raised on Jack Daniel's. Very catchy.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Where's Plug-in baby!?! I'm calling it now for GH4.

Dee4leeds

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Muse might be my favorite band discovery this decade. Oceansize (someone above mentioned 'em) is virtually tied for that spot, though. Fairly similar sound, but less mainstream, more proggy (but don't worry, they're not prog wanksters like dream theater).

Anyways, as much as I love Muse, and am happy they'll be getting more exposure, I'm gonna have to say NOOOOOoooOoOoOOOoooOOo!!! These songs need to come out on Rock Band! I just have a feeling that any time something comes out for GHIII, Activision tries to pull some kind of exclusivity deal for the songs or the bands. Of course I'm sure MTV/EA/Harmonix tries to do the same thing, but their game is way more fun, so I don't mind as much...

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Also, I'm going to second a recommendation of the Doves. They're amazing. Lost Souls is my favorite album by them, and they have a kind of...similar way about them to Muse, though their sound isn't totally cloned, they're still unique.

i've lost my taste for muse, but i still love stockholm syndrome. what an insane song to play! and you gotta love the video for knights of cydonia...

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @Eville1: Well done. I love Elbow.

Slint

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I've loved Muse since I heard "Time is Running Out" back in 2003. My girlfriend at the time had tried to get me into them, but I didn't listen to her until I heard that song. Been a fan ever since.

Seeing them live is my second favorite concert I've ever been to, it was damn amazing.

A lot of people compare "The Bends" and "OK Computer" by Radiohead to Muse, though I don't think they sound so similar. They're great albums nonetheless, worthy of a listen.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> you should try either the klaxons or raconteurs

exprohound

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> @SPni: Glasvegas are good too. Not much more I can think of off the top of my head.

Don't folllow anyone.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Muse are one of the best live bands, because of you comment you only check bands from music games I'm only going to suggest bands that are probably not going to show up on them:

The Flaming Lips-Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Violent Femmes-Violent Femmes
Sea Wolf-Leaves In the River
Hard-Fi -Stars of CCTV
Presidents of The United States-Presidents of the United States
People In PLanes-As Far as the Eye Can See
Doves-The Last Broadcast
***Raconteurs-Consoler of The Lonely***

Heavily recommend checking the Raconteurs.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Not exactly sure what you're interested in Fahey, but check out Pennywise's new album, Bad Religion, and NOFX.
NOFX is bizarre, raw punk.
Bad Religion is, like, college-educated, highly-literate punk.
And Pennywise is named after a clown!
PS: Even though they're ridiculously famous, so I didn't mention them up there, Coheed&Cambria, and Red Hot Chili Peppers are great bands.





Palladium

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> agreed on pandora, it's an excellent source of music, there are also several fine indie podcasts that can help expose you, beyond what's out there in the blogosphere.

also, try checking out the schedules of your local concert venues, see what new acts are coming through town, and look up those bands on myspace and youtube (or "acquiring" some of their stuff).

in this day and age, there's so much out there right at your fingertips, you just need to take the initiative.

HAGE

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> bring me the dillinger escape plan pack, NOW!

BitterAndThenSome

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I agree with pretty much everyone here in wanting these for Rock Band instead of GH. Hopefully they don't have some sort of exclusive deal.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> This just makes me that much more upset with my wii version. Maybe one day...

Great Band!

uncleruss

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Resident Kotaku Muse nut is happy!

:D

Fahey you might enjoy Oceansize or Amplifier. Have a look for them. Two awesome bands. You might like some Biffy Clyro at a push

Don't folllow anyone.

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Dude, why not give Pandora a spin? Or visit one of the million music blogs out there to discover some new jams?

nonpareil

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Yup. I had not heard a single Muse song prior to GH3, thought they were some Breaking Benjamin or Seether type of radio friendly, shitty ass, shlock rock band. I am now a fan. One of the coolest things about GH3/RB and even GTA.

El Patricko

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> oh wow, this is the first time I'm jealous of GH3 as opposed to Rock Band. C'mon Harmonix, I know you have Hysteria to download when the game launches in Europe, but we totally need a dedicated Muse songpack.

DigiMish

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Love Muse, good news

FlashIV

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Yes! Muse is a great band. I don't know too many that can follow in their footsteps, but if you like them, you may also like The Faint or Ratatat. Also, for finding new music, give pandora.com a shot and use Muse as your source band.

...now if only Muse would release more songs on Rock Band. I guess we'll have to just wait for the UK release of the game.

carvelo

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> am i the only one waiting for "Bliss" and "Starlight"?

"Assassins" would be badass too.

Nissan288

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Dammit, there goes my hope that these were going to rockband.

InfernoT

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Muse is awesome.

Hm, recommendations? Of a certain single type? That I can't do. I can rattle off my current listening though.

Stars of Track and Field. Course of Empire. Elbow. Rob Dougan. Oren Lavie.

Elbow I recommend for that Brit Pop/Rock sound.

Eville1

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Eve 6 isn't similar - but they're a great band.

Stockholm Syndrome is great, but the other songs... meh...

I liked Muse's older stuff.

Shimmergeek

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> GOD DAMN it why did these songs have to be in GH3 I love my RockBand but I love my MUSE more.

SupermassiveBlackhole? You're killing me Actiivision

ZenGaijin

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> "As someone who only turns on the radio to hear people arguing about politics, games like GH III are sadly my main source for discovering new music"

i find this very sad. anyway, hysteria is the best track on absolution, imo.

HAGE

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Oh yeah, freakin' sweet, Muse is a great band!!

jiSh

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> I'm surprised to at Muse. I never heard of them before, then I find they've been around UK for sometime.
Variety IS the spice of life...

SigmundTheSeaMonster

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Ok, don't take this the wrong way, but that picture totally makes me think that the folks in it are trying to make a photoshoot for Torchwood.

Salen

]]> <![CDATA[Guitar Hero III Revisits Its Muse]]> Not a big fan of these particular songs but its good to see that Muse is getting some attention in the rhythm game genre. Now all they need to do is release that one song they were planning on releasing for rock band.
