[SPOILERS] [NSFAske] Went to see Muse live last night

I don't really consider myself a fan of Muse. I know what gets played on the radio and for the most part I change the station when they come on because I'm tired of them, but my friend had a spare ticket to the show last night, and I've heard they're a great live band, so I said what the hell and went. I have to admit I was quite impressed. Their reputation as one of the greatest live bands touring today I would say is well deserved.

Granted, I'm a sucker for big shows with lots of bombast and lights and effects, so they had me at hello. But aside from the spectacle, their singer/guitarist was nails. I had no idea what a good guitarist the guy actually is, and his voice sounded, well, like his voice sounds, which isn't necessarily my cup of tea but he was for the most part dead on. Their drummer was also phenomenal, despite the fact that his drums were clearly triggered. The bass player was adequate.

Anyway, long story short, if you get the chance to see Muse live- do it. Even if you're not really a fan.
