Muse released the live album, "HAARP
", from Wembley Stadium on March 18th, 2008. Coming with both a DVD and CD this combo is more than enough to fill fans heart with joy, and even some who aren't.
One of the Most spectacular things about the band's live setup is Matthew Bellamy's guitars. On a select few guitars (all made by Hugh Manson) he has custom KAOSS Pads (The White Midi Controller below the Bridge) that he runs through a Digi-tech Whammy. This creates one of the most transcendent effects I have ever heard, especially on Supermassive Black Hole
As They get through the concert, they continually deliver with extra tags and improvisational sections on the end of each song. This, combined with their exemplary stage-presence and superlative lighting, creates one hell of a show.
When the helicopter is flying around the stadium, and Matt is wailing away on the guitar and vocals, and women start floating around in balloons doing acrobatics, and Dominic Howard pounds away at the drums, it finally hits you; Muse could quite possibly be the best live band to have ever lived. Or at least close to it.
Gorillaz is a super classic band, and for a good reason. With some of the best combinations of electronic music, featuring artists from Mos Def, to MF Doom, it's a really incredible band.
Their newest album, "The Fall", was even recording entirely on an iPad! I highly recommend they become an integral part to your music library, and I've been listening to them for the last month straight (Religiously).
