Muse in Edmonton on March 29th
I love Muse. Ever since hearing the album, Origin of Symmetry in early 2002 I was hooked. Musically their abilities are up their with the best of them and Matt Bellamy (lead vocals and guitar) has an amazing gift for writing music. Whilst his singing is hardly brilliant, it is unique and compliments the music well.
As they have progressed as a band, so has their music. Every album sounds different and they always push themselves to try new things it seems. From the angsty Showbiz to the classically influenced Absolution, there isn’t a genre of music that Muse haven’t tried to add to their sound.
I have been to see them several times, in Newcastle, my home city, in Leeds at the festival and at Wembley Stadium and each time I go the show feels different. From the ad libbing and improvisation that Bellamy brings to the atmosphere the different crowds create, going to a Muse show is a unique experience making them a band you want to go and enjoy over and over.
My latest outing to see them will be on the 29th of March in Edmonton. I have yet to see them in a foreign country but I am thoroughly looking forward to it. The last time I did go and see them was in 2007 and that was far too long ago. It will be interesting to see how well received the band is across the Atlantic and how the crowds and atmosphere differs to the other shows I have been to.
Also, I have not seen them since the release of the new album, The Resistance, so the visual aspects there will be in the show will also be entirely new for me. Muse have always delivered a fantastic concert and I am sure that in Edmonton on the 29th of March, it will be no different.
