Reviewing H.A.A.R.P

Ahh...MUSE...a band best loved by happy emos around the world!! Oh, and incidentally, I attended their Wembley concert!...well...at least from at home...STILL, the best way to watch a Muse concert when you're at home is to turn up the volume 'cos that's as close as you can get to the ear-busting noise at the Wembley Stadium in London.


I LUFF YOU MUSE!!!!!!!

Okay, so the concert starts off with the 3 of them walking along a runway and onto the stage amidst screaming teenagers wearing mascara, black eyeshadow, black half-gloves(y'know the kinds where the fingers are cut off?) and on the stage, they go to their respective instruments...
Oh yes, and did I mention that while other bands or singers or shit do costume changes, apparently Matthew Bellamy is one step above them, he does guitar changes...yeah. Oh yes, he does.


That's the Wembley stage prepped up for the Muse concert. You see the satellite-like things? I Wikipedia-d Matthew Bellamy and apparently he's interested in alien conspiracy theories, so I'm thinking that the satellite thingies are alien satellites. Yeah. They're most probably used to broadcast their rocking-awesome music to the lonely E.T's up there. Plus, they serve as cool light- displays...

After all the cheering and stuff, the trio kick-off with an intro and then:
  1. Knights of Cydonia(lovely, especially the "aaaaaaaaaah" part)
  2. Hysteria
  3. Supermassive Black Hole
  4. Map Of The Problematique
  5. Butterflies And Hurricanes(REALLY good piano solo)
  6. Hoodoo
  7. Apocalypse Please
  8. Feeling Good(ahh, VERY sexy song, there)
  9. Invincible
  10. Starlight(great to hear live)
  11. Improv. (I like this improvisation a lot)
  12. Time Is Running Out(another song that's great to hear live)
  13. New Born
  14. Soldiers Poem(this is when the songs are getting a bit slower, y'know? Light and dreamy)
  15. Unintended(really romantic)
  16. Blackout
  17. Plug In Baby(and the hype picks up again from here)
  18. Stockholm Syndrome
  19. Take A Bow
Overall, this is one of the best concerts I've watched(the only concert I've watched, to be precise, but still). Also, along the way I've noticed quite a few things...
  • I think a fight broke out during the concert.
  • The drummer, Chris Wolstenhome says the f-word a lot.
  • Oh fine, Matthew Bellamy had ONE costume change.
  • Incidentally, he has a very cute chin.
  • The songs they play are better when played live.
  • I'm guessing that it's okay for guys to go crazy over Muse because unlike the Jonas Brothers, they'd look more butch and tough.
  • The bassist Dominic Howard wore a pair of Converse All-Stars during the concert! =]
  • Matthew Bellamy has the BIGGEST set of nostrils I've ever seen.
