About Me
- B. Ives
- Who's on tour? What are they playing? Who's still in the band these days? What's on that box set? Don't I have all of that stuff already? That's the stuff NO EXPIRATION sorts out for you. So you don't end up being the loudmouth at the Neil Young show who yells out "Heart Of Gold" when he's only doing garage rock with Crazy Horse. Or you're not the person complaining at George Clinton's shows because Bootsy isn't there (but odds are, he won't be there). You get the idea - I'll let you know what's up, and you won't have to weed through stories about lame celebs or (many) bands you haven't heard of.

Muse played that summer festival that The Cure headlined on Randall's Island a few years ago. Those who had seen them had nothing but good reports. I was talking to a record store employee in Providence, RI, who had gone and asked him what he thought. He said he refused to stick around for a band who were so obviously lip-syncing and miming throughout the set. I put the comment down to record store dickitude. Went to see them on the Black Holes and Revelations tour when it hit Hammerstein Ballroom. Now, don't get me wrong - it was entertaining as all hell. But I'll be damned if the vocals weren't coming from elsewhere than the Muse mite's mouth ... and certainly half of the instrumentation was from a source other than the instruments weilded by the group. If you're going to see them, let us know what you think!
ha ha, "dickitude," that's funny. Actually, I read that they refused to lip-synch for MTV's VMAs (some saying that that was why they didn't "sound good"). I do know that they use samples, and have at least two backing musicians, I don't know if they're visible on stage. I have pretty close seats both nights (from behind the stage, mind you) but I will definitely be reporting. Thanks always for reading and commenting!
