You mean my inclusion of Muse? Or the contrast with them and Stevie and the 'wife beater'?

I have to see Muse. While I'm not a massive fan overall of their records, I just love their live shows. I have a weakness for power trios (a longtime Rush fan from back in the day, me), and Muse are the sort of band who can just blow anyone away live. You think back to Woodstock for example and how the running order wasn't finalized, in terms of the The Who vs. Hendrix, and how Pete Townshend was saying to Jimi Hendrix "we're not playing after you!". I think Muse are that type of band, which is why they headline festivals in the US even though their fanbase or record sales there would not justify them being top of bill. They are that good live, and even the Americans know it. I missed the '04 set (horrible mistake) and I just need to see Muse once at Glastonbury. They're in a tough spot, as '04 seemingly can't be topped, especially as that show made their career and secured them as Wembley Stadium-worthy. They haven't exactly put out better records since, and the extra gimmickry can only take away from what they are, which is a truly powerful rock trio. Them Crooked Vultures would have been nice beforehand, eh?
