Teignmouth, England, United Kingdom (1994 – present)
Muse is an alternative rock band from Teignmouth, England, United Kingdom. The band consists of Matthew Bellamy on lead vocals, piano, keyboard and guitar, Chris Wolstenholme on backing vocals and bass guitar, and Dominic Howard on drums and percussion.
They have been friends since their formation in early 1994 and changed band names a number of times (such as Gothic Plague, Fixed Penalty, and Rocket Baby Dolls) before adopting the name Muse. Since the release of their fourth album, Morgan Nicholls has also appeared with the band at live performances to provide keyboards, samples/synth, and backing vocals.
Their sound is a blend of alternative rock, classical music, electronica, metal, spanish guitars, and progressive rock. Usually they use the bass line as the driving force, often with the guitar providing only an extra layer to the song rather than carrying the melody, the bass has distortion and other effects applied to it to achieve a greater weight, allowing the guitar to digress from the main tune and play higher notes. Another peculiarity is Muse´s piano style in many of their songs; their music has been inspired by the works of Romantic pianist-composers such as Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky and Liszt, and has thus resulted in a fusion of Romantic style with modern rock.
The band is known for their energetic live performances and front man Matthew Bellamy’s eccentric and avid interests in global conspiracy, extraterrestrial life, theology and the apocalypse (as much as in Space and theoretical physics). Their lyrical themes involve madcap conspiracy theory, revolutionary rabble-rousing, weird stuff about aliens (or Zetas, if you please), religions and other such classic Muse concerns.

Indeed - writing in English is the easiest way to make oneself understood by as many people as possible, so we should get over it. Down with petty nationalism! (United Staaaaates...of EURASIA!)

I couldn't see the charts yet, and i won't, just because i always get disappointed. And you were right for the compare, sorry about that [i get angry in the moment]. However i'll always think they are awesome and deserve all the hype and praise they receive, at least from me.// {No entiendo por qué lo escribo en inglés}

And Arctic is Arctic. You shouldn't even begin to compare both bands, seriously. They're both AWESOME in their very own genres. This charts are all wrong. Why the hell would Supermassive be #1 and Micro Cuts, Fury, or even Citizen Erased are not top 15?

Lejos, los mejores. @k_nata "they don't deserve all the hype and praise they receive" I'm sorry but...Did you ever listen Micro Cuts? Or Hoodoo? Or Take a Bow? I know you like Arctic Monkeys, me too, but seriously... Muse is MUSE.
