Progressive metal...

Latest comment: 14 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

I believe that muse draw quite a bit of influence from the progressive metal genre; if we look at prog metal bands such as Dream Theater, we can tell that they have been influenced, and vice-versa. I think progressive metal is certainly a genre which muse incorporate: there are certainly songs which i'd class as metal (stockholm syndrome for example), and such songs also have very progressive tendancies. What do you all think? I reckon it should certainly be listed as a genre on the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Craggus (talk • contribs) 13:48, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

It's easy to understand where you're coming from, since progressive metal has a good bit of its roots in progressive rock, but I don't think occasionally adding a little bit of metal to one or two songs is reason enough to consider Muse a progressive metal band. I say leave it off the genre list. KhalfaniKhaldun 19:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I think progressive metal should be put in place instead of new prog. Muse does sound me like metal in some parts and progressive metal isn't as "strong" as metal, it has harder parts and softer parts and is influenced by prog. rock. Are you sure you dont want to have another rethink about that? Come on, Muse don't sound like Marillion!. Manoalorts (talk) 19:54, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Video Game Appearances

Should this section be deleted? There has already been discussion on leaving out mention of a song in the film Twilight. Why should mention of their songs in games be any different? Dark verdant (talk) 09:16, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, probably. BEVE (talk)  14:00, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I have decided to remove the section on video game appearances. I do not think it is encyclopaedic or adds to the article. I was waiting in hope of getting more people discussion this item but no one else has replied. Sorry if I should not have done this but if we cannot list appearances of Muse songs in films like Twilight then we shouldn't on games either. Please note I am not asking for mention of Twilight to be added to the article, I don't think this information adds anything to the article. Dark verdant (talk) 15:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I think you'll find most editors in agreement with you. I didn't reply to your original comment because frankly I had nothing to add. It shouldn't be in the article. The end. =/ KhalfaniKhaldun 16:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Track Listing

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I have noticed the track listing coming and going for the upcoming album. Thought it best to bring it up here before an edit war starts. Should this information be there, I don't see a track list for the other albums.Dark verdant (talk) 09:08, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

The article states that on the Muse website, 'United States of Eurasia' despite having all six parts unlocked, is still incomplete as the track lasting describes the song as over 5 minutes long. This however is only due to the addition of 'Collateral Damage' on the album. --BlackandWhiteBoxedShirt (talk) 11:43, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Specifics on their formation

Latest comment: 15 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the recent Q Music Magazine interview with Muse, it told that Dom first formed the band called 'Gothic Plague'. Differing from what's been written in their formation section, it also quoted from Dom that "My band was cooler and so Matt left his to join me" (Matt's band at the time being called Carnage Mayhem). Whether this was just Dom boasting or not I don't know, but there was no mention of auditions for Matt's placement in the band. Plus the source given in that article saying so is broken. Anyway, the interview in Q then goes on to say that when Matt suggested Gothic Plague wrote their own songs, the other band members left. Somewhere along the line Chris then joined, but it doesn't state how. Anyway, hope there's maybe a way you can use this, afterall, when I read an article on a band, I want to know everything! And this is from the horses mouths ;D -- SamuelEllmer (talk) 03:27, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Possible move?

Latest comment: 15 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I believe this article should be moved to Muse, and the article currently there could be moved to Muse (mythology), with a note at the top of the page linking to it. I think more people look for this article than t'other, and such a thing has been done before (Iron Maiden, Iron maiden (torture)). Andre666 (talk) 13:21, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

  • Weak oppose Muse are clearly a famous band, but the Muses are also very well known. I think you may be underestimating how many people are looking for the goddesses, although there are no straightforward stats. In June 2009, Muse received ~125,000 views, and in August 2009 it got ~175,000, an increase of about 40%. In June 2009 the Muse (band) article got ~235,000 views and in August 2009 it got ~375,000, an increase of about 60%. While it's clear that many people expect the band to be at Muse, but since the increase was not actually as big as for the band's article, I think there's a significant number of people looking for the goddesses. Perhaps keep Muse (band) in the same place and move Muse to Muse (mythology) with Muse (disambiguation) filling in the vacant Muse slot? Nev1 (talk) 17:30, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Progressive Metal

Latest comment: 12 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

Can someone verify the reliability of the website claiming that Muse is progressive metal (ranker.com) for genres. The website is a social site and it does not appear that anyone with credentials or notability claimed that Muse is in fact progressive metal. In fact, when you click on the album, it copies its text from Wikipedia. Who says Muse is "progressive metal"? The users of the website? Is it mirroring other sites? Did someone input it? Where does its content come from?169.229.76.151 (talk) 04:51, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

The real question here is "why ranker.com shouldn't be considered a reliable source" It's staff compiled and classified everything that Muse have officially released throughout their career, the discographies that they put up aren't related with the social side of the site, which also brings information about movies, Tv series, sports etc, it's akin to other huge sites such Aol (who brings news, and special reports, apart of the site's social service). It's true that when you click on an album, the information given is from wikipedia, however, we aren't using these information, we are using only the genres, wich couldn't be reflected from wikipedia because there are genres that have never been used here, (i.e. Hard rock, electronic rock, soft rock in Origin of Symmetry etc.) also, revising another singles, it's found that the genres given there usually are don't match with the genres used here, so it couldn't be possible that they drew specifically the genre related info from wikipedia.187.154.27.171 (talk) 04:14, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Also, there is something that you have to keep in mind: the one trying to change a consensus that was reached nearly eight months ago are you, this means that you shouldn't change any genre in the infobox untill a new consensus suporting your claims have been reached. 187.154.27.171 (talk) 04:24, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

I looked up "muse, progressive metal" on google and could not find a single site in the top several searches calling Muse a progressive metal band except for sites that mirrored Wikipedia. Your source, ranker.com, also calls Muse "classical music". I have a hard time believing that. The source is not accurate at all. I am removing it as a source because the genres listed are not accurate. And "(i.e. Hard rock, electronic rock, soft rock in Origin of Symmetry etc.)". Hard rock is not soft rock, so I'm inclined to assume that the source cannot be accurate, nor is there a citation of anyone credible who labeled the genres. Furthermore, right above the facts, it says "Questions and answers providing facts about Muse. Information below is biographical. For more facts, info and a full bio of Muse click the "Read More" link to Wikipedia at the top of the page.". 169.229.76.151 (talk) 02:08, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Progressive Metal & Space rock

Latest comment: 12 years ago5 comments5 people in discussion

Much of Muse's music on the albums Origin of Symmetry and Absolution is obviously, if you listen to it, progressive metal. Having two out of 5 albums in a genre should qualify that genre to be added to the band's list of genres.

Also, I believe that it is important to note that Muse are "Space rock." A number of the songs have progressive science fiction lyrics and there aren't that many hugely popular space rock artists, so Muse has made an accomplishment.sbrianhicks (talk • —Preceding undated comment added 01:57, 16 January 2010 (UTC).


I agree with this user. Instead of new prog, progressive metal should be put in place. And what about adding Hard Rock too. I think that the deletion of progressive rock is a very good idea as they are not a prog. rock band in any way.


I suggest, remove Heavy Metal and add Hard Rock. Their toughest material (maybe Stockholm Syndrome, Cave, Plug in Baby) does not qualify, IMHO. 92.80.106.78 (talk) 16:53, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

I agree that space rock is an ideal category. Muse are also post grunge, as described on the article at the end of the paragraph, and backed up by the 'early influences' quote by the bassist that appears later on the muse band page. The lyrical content is notoriously post grunge, and should be included to avoid misleading readers. At present the article leaps in with 'progressive rock' as the first of many categories, but that should not be the priority given the stylistic separation from the progressive rock genre which occurs due to lyrical content (which is post grunge) and era of popularity (which is mid 90s - today). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ra7g09 (talk • contribs) 11:38, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Labeling Muse as "Progressive Metal" is not something I'd agree with, but more importantly, the source cited for that label (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2006/jun/30/popandrock.shopping3) does not actually have the words "progressive metal" anywhere in it. It makes a vague reference to "space metal," but without some sort of additional source confirming the universal correlation of "space metal" with "progressive metal" I don't think this is satisfying proof. 24.2.50.182 (talk) 00:58, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Neither album is progressive metal. It has progressive influences, so it would best be labeled new prog, like radiohead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.229.76.151 (talk) 07:33, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

There's too much blow-by-blow documentation of Muse's tour schedule. In comparison, next to nothing is said about band's recording sessions.

Festival Appearances?

List of Muse festival appearances [2][64]

  • Coachella Festival, Indio, CA, USA (April 2010) [3]
  • South by Southwest, Austin, TX, USA (March 2010) [4]
  • Big Day Out, Australia/ New Zealand (January 2010) [5]
  • V Festival, Staffordshire, UK (August 2008) [6]
  • Pinkpop festival, Landgraaf, Netherlands (May 2007)
  • Reading and Leeds Festivals, UK (August 2006)


Why on earth is there a fail list of festival appearances? Not only is it a pitifully small selection, but if one was to actually list all of their appearances over the past 12 years or so there would be a huge long list, which would be entirely unnecessary. I can't say I have come across any band articles which has such a list, which makes sense really.

I propose to delete this section. Just thought I'd mention it here as someone has obviously spent some time and gone to the effort of citing sources, and I didn't want to cause an edit war. Feudonym (talk) 13:35, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Use of Muse Wiki as a Source

Latest comment: 5 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

Some of you may have noticed but in the History section of Muse, it states the reasoning of why the band chose the name Muse. Before this edition, we had a source claiming the band chose the name Muse from Rocket Baby Dolls because someone claimed there were "Muses", in reference to the Greek gods of innovation and science, hanging over the town due to the upsurge in bands competing in the "Battle of the Bands" contest. Now we have a source claiming it was because Matt Bellamy's art teacher said the word, and the band chose it because it would look good on a poster. Now the one problem I have with this source is that it is from the Muse Wiki.

Wikipedia has been cited many times as an unreliable source to use when citing sources to back up information, due to the massive influx of people editing the pages, citing information from various sources and so on. I've looked around the Muse Wiki, and its a fan-based source, created by fans, for the fans. And to be honest, the quality of some of the information on there is below standard-English levels of explanation and documentation, nothing against the people who wrote it with good honest intentions of keeping a large record of Muse information which would otherwise clutter Wikipedia, but should we not find a source which actually quotes Matt Bellamy as saying this rather than a quote from another website - which can be edited by anyone?

The one thing that is really confusing is that the article on the Muse Wiki makes no mention whatsoever of Matt's art teacher, but the fact that someone mentioned Muses were hanging over the town. (82.28.237.200 (talk) 12:36, 4 July 2010 (UTC))

MuseWiki's sources are from all over - the most reliable being the Muse biography "Out of this World - The Story of Muse". Since the origin of the name is actually explained in the book and I am in possession of a copy of it, I'll look into it as soon as possible. Sapphiruby (talk) 07:28, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
@Sapphiruby and I need a name: hi! There's still a problem with this statement about teacher. I've read Myers book and wrote a good article in Ukrainian wp (uk:Muse) there is Matt's quote about naming on the page 42: There was even a weird legend that said that all energy had come like a 'muse', descended from the sky; that's where we got our name from.. In general, they actually never gave a complete and strict answer on that. Except the book, there's other visions and sources: [1] [2] [3]. I agree with IP editor that we should not spread this info as undoubted truth if it has only one source. So I suggest to add all of possible statements about it. --JTs (talk) 22:08, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

It is misleading to mention so many genres and leave out the one that may be the most relevant, ie. post grunge. The stylistic link between muse and grunge is strong and much stronger than the stylistic link between muse and some of the other genres mentioned such as electronica. The article quoted from describes muse as post grunge, the bassist quote mentions grunge bands as key influences, there is overwhelming evidence. (Ra7g09 (talk) 11:49, 26 May 2011 (UTC))

Also, there was a comment 'recurring themes of revolution' that was correctly deleted since it is uncited personal analysis. The comment appeared to be backed up by a source but the source definitely didn't. The source backed up the genres which appeared earlier in the sentence. Ra7g09 (talk) 22:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

There's entirely too much argument and discussion about so-called "genres" here. Some people combine genres, other distinguish them. It's all opinion and original research, unless it's backed up by a quote from a member of the band. 24.27.31.170 (talk) 22:46, 24 September 2011 (UTC) Eric

Genre discussion

Latest comment: 12 years ago8 comments6 people in discussion

This section porpouse is to discuss the genres that will apear on Muse's infobox, so let's be mature and discuss the genres that must be added and wich don't. below a list of the genres that must be added wich their respective reazons (genres sorted cronologically):

  • Alternative rock: There is no need to discuss this one, right?
  • Space rock: Much of Muse's lyrics & electronic arrangements falls here, everybody who knew'em before The Resistance will asociate'em with it.
  • Progressive metal or Alternative metal: in the period from Origin of Symmetry to Black Holes & Revelations was a prominent genre, also this is the genre with wich Muse became known for in the past, several of their most recognized songs lands totally or partially at least in this genre, thus it deserves a place in the infobox, sources describing Muse's music as such:[4] [5][6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
  • Progressive rock or New prog: although their music has always showed elements of it mixed with alternative rock, electronica, metal or latin music, it was not until the resistance when it became the dominant genre, the discuss here is that both New prog & Progressive rock practically means the same, so wich genre must go on?
  • Symphonic rock: another genre that came to prominence with the resistance, several songs on the album features ochestal arrangements included the three piece symphony, it probably must be there.
  • Rock opera the exogenesis symphony is a clear example of one, also muse always have been influenced by rock opera & classic opera, and their music has been described like this several times, sources describing Muse as this: [14] [15] [16] [17]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carnotaurus044 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
This is all just your opinion until you find reliable sources for it all. Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 11:50, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Well, not sure about you, but i think that 10 references to Alt/Prog metal must be enough to add the genre to the infobox, Rock opera, with 4 references must be considered too.
Since when is "rock opera" a genre of music? Its an example of a kind of album, but not a genre in and of itself. Heiro 22:51, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
The first source cited (entertainment.ie) uses the plural so clearly refers to it as a type of musical work and not a genre, but the others seem to be using it as a genre, perhaps as a synonym of symphonic rock. Peter E. James (talk) 01:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Yeah, the rock opera stuff it's kinda confusing since most sources recalls it as a genre, i give a look to the album examples included in the Rock opera article, but no one of them includes it as a genre at all, i think it won't make it to the infobox unless a source apears.Carnotaurus044 (talk) 04:59, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
The references don't describe Muse (or any of their music) as progressive metal or alternative metal, they just say that there are some elements of metal genres in their music.
  • I agree, some sources (actually 4 out of 10) says that they're influenced by metal, but the others describes their music as metal:
  • The Guardian: Black Holes and Revelations has Muse's usual industrial dollop of space-metal lunacy.
  • Entertainment ie: Bellamy's falsetto vocals and apocalyptic lyrics blend perfectly with the band's heavy metal riffs, crashing pianos and Bohemian Rhapsody-style harmonies.
  • Popmatters: Muse were more closely aligned with some of the most pathos-ridden grunge/metal outfits of the early 1990s.
  • The Guardian (again): "Unnatural Selection" is a thrash metal re-write of "Lay All Your Love on Me."
  • IGN: the rapid-fire metal riffs of "Assassin" pull together the best of Muse, with robust music and remarkable vocals.
  • NME: "Knights of Cydonia" have the exhilarating thrills of great metal epics like Led Zeppelin’s ‘Achilles Last Stand’ and Iron Maiden’s ‘Run To The Hills’.

I think this is enough to add it to the infobox, if you also consider that Muse's main genre is Alt.rock and that their music mixes elements of all the other genres, they've never been a full progressive rock band, neither a full space rock band or a symphonic rock band, but their songs have prominent influences of those genres, enough to be listed as a genre.Carnotaurus044 (talk) 04:59, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

"The band was described as a "trashy three-piece" by Matthew Bellamy on the BBC during 2002." That quote, if it is reliable, is the only sourced and reliable mention of genre by someone whose opinion matters. Yet, "trashy three-piece" is NOT a genre that wikipedia recognizes! What do we do now??? Holy cow, all you genre advocates need to stop. Just stop. It's music. I learned as a child that here are two kinds (not genres) of music. Do you know what they are? Good and bad. Muse, I think, is good, except for the falsetto vocals and electronic effects, which I would insist throws the entire band into the angst-ridden post-modern Smokey-Robinson bogusness genre, did I not like them. 24.27.31.170 (talk) 23:03, 24 September 2011 (UTC) Eric

Mainly, Muse are a progressive rock band. Yes; they do experiment on several songs with each individual release, but the vast majority of Muse's music is demonstrative of prog. rock. This is the closest and most accurate description of Muse's style and as such, I believe we should remove the symphonic rock, rock opera, and space rock tags - unless, someone can manifest a comprehensive list of all Muse songs essentially of the aforementioned genres. I think Muse's obvious musical ability and variety is causing their fans to come here and embellish the article. I am a fan myself, but I recognize that Wikipedia demands a certain preciseness in its editors' writing. - John M. DiNucci -- 17:30, 30 March 2012 (UTC−05:00)

I agree with the removal of these genres. They are very losely connected. Muse are largely a band that play alternative rock and co-opt in influences and instrumentation from other genres. Rock with space lyrics is not space rock. Have rock songs that utilise an orchestra isn't symphonic rock. Muse stick primarily to base, guitar, synths, piano and drums. On their upcoming album, they have a song that is heavily influences with dubstep, and no doubt they use similar tools as dupstep artists and producers for their music, but this does not define Muse as being a dupstep artist. Let the band be defined by broad genres labels and leave the more specific stuff for classifying individual songs. 147.197.230.176 (talk) 11:25, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Numerous references to progressive rock can be found, but very few for new prog (however some use the term "neo prog", for which the relevant Wikipedia article is likely to be new prog, definitions seem to vary).Peter E. James (talk) 01:00, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I'll go for new prog for various reazons:

  • 1.New prog is a term used to define modern bands that incorporates progressive rock influences in their alternative rock music, this fits better with Muse since they aren't a full Progressive rock band, they don't sound like Genesis, Rush, Gentle Giants or Pink Floyd at all, althoug their music have elements of such genre.
  • 2.New prog is the term that appears in all the others Muse articles.
  • 3.It's a shorter term, thus it's easier to make it fit in the infobox.

However, this isn't definitive and it's open to a discussion.Carnotaurus044 (talk) 00:45, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

The New Album section

Latest comment: 13 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

I've deleted the section entitled 'New Album' because we simply do not have enough information on said album to create a new section about it. Once the band have fully finished promoting The Resistance (which will be at the end of this month, August). I kept the description of said section, but worded it better. I'd also like to propose a lock, so that people can stop adding the New Album section, which I've deleted several times as well as other users having deleted it. They are still in The Resistance era, thus the New Album section should not be added. I suggest we add this section either in 2012 or when a bit more information has been released regarding this sixth album of theirs. Anyone? Cross Pollination (talk) 22:31, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Thomas Kirk needs more recognition in this article (imo)

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Matt pointed out that Tom Kirk is pretty much "the 4th member of the band (except he can't play any instruments)" -- BRIT Awards 2013 interview here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_Qqgjc8aAA -- Mr. Kirk is the genius behind all the visual/video stuff in the last few amazing tours as well as the guy responsible for much of their publicity etc. (see http://www.musewiki.org/Thomas_Kirk ) just not sure how to appropriately mention him in the main band article. :-\ 142.229.91.133 (talk) 18:28, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Associated Acts: U2?

Can U2 and Muse be listed as associated acts? The Edge played with the band at Glastonbury 2010, and they formed a supergroup for one night at a bar in Brazil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.191.28.26 (talk) 00:55, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't think a single night event should be considered an associated act. --Xcuref1endx (talk) 02:39, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Infobox picture description

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the picture to the right of the article, in the infobox, it says "From left to right: Dominic Howard, Matthew Bellamy, Christopher Wolstenholme and touring member Morgan Nicholls." Morgan is third from the left while Chris is fourth. Shouldn't this be changed? Maybe to "and touring member Morgan in the background" or something. 178.191.187.70 (talk) 07:44, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

"are" vs. "is"

Latest comment: 6 years ago4 comments4 people in discussion

The opening sentence is "Muse are an English rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, which formed in 1994."

Should this not begin with "Muse is..."? Muse is a band, hence the singular noun. 173.181.83.109 (talk) 07:38, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

This is true. Will someone please fix this? ~— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevingar117 (talk • contribs) 05:18, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

No, "are" is correct, and that is noted in the article (in a hidden note that shows up in the edit window). It is British English usage. --bonadea contributions talk 05:24, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
Bonadea is correct. British English does not treat collective nouns as singular. "The British couple are happy. The American couple is happy." As a British act, the article for Muse uses British English, per WP:ENGVAR. - SummerPhDv2.0 05:31, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Wikipedians,

I believe this page has been worked on and reviewed several times and the thorough nature of the article reflects that. However, each time the article says that fans reacted differently to a change in style, it fails to detail what kind of reactions those were. In addition, the article seems incomplete as all of the information is not up to date.. the last tour date mentioned for the Drones album is in June 2015 when they did not conclude their international Drones tour until the middle of 2016. I think some updating would be helpful. Linzyjane13 (talk) 06:22, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Missing Single (MK Ultra)

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hello, I'm here to say that Muse's Single MK Ultra is missing from Wikipedia, I just now noticed that MK Ultra wasn't in here. So, I did some quick researching and found out (surprise, surprise!) MK Ultra IS one of Muse's singles. Correct me if it is there, but I have looked in the "Catalog" and it's not there. Bunsdome (talk) 23:43, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

"world tour on September 2018" = "world tour in September 2018" 2605:E000:9149:8300:5C27:D5D5:A56A:715B (talk) 03:25, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

  Question: The wording in context is "Muse announced Simulation Theory world tour on September 2018.". Seems correct to me. Please explain further why it should be changed. RudolfRed (talk) 03:48, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
"On" indicates a particular date or string of dates. A month is not a particular date. I don't say when I go on holiday for the month of August that i am going on holiday on August. Is your rationalisation that if the source uses bad grammar then WP should as well? That seems short sighted.2605:E000:9149:8300:5C27:D5D5:A56A:715B (talk) 04:45, 3 December 2018 (UTC)
