Hello everyone! I'm back in the blog as I promised yesterday.
I said that "I'll be back with another post about... Just wait for the next post!" And I'm back with, my next post.
So, here I come... My Favorite Music.
Everyone in the world has their own favorite music. Either it's pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, electro, heavy metal, or even classics. They say if you don't like every kind music in the world, you're dead. You would agree with that, don't you?
I highly prefer rock musics over (almost) ANYTHING. Because rock artists are mostly bands, which they proved their great teamwork in their songs. But my favorite is not just a rock music. It's Muse-ic, need I say more? MUSE-IC.
Muse are well-known for their fusion of many music genres, and their "crazy" live acts. The band consists of Matthew Bellamy, Dominic Howard, and Chris Wolstenholme. Matt plays guitar, piano, and sings for the band; Dom serves as the drummer; and Chris as bassist and backing vocals.
The career history of the band starts in early 1990s, where Dom plays in a band named Gothic Plague. Then Matt tried to join the band, and he made it. One day, Matt suggested that they should write their own songs than keep doing covers. But the other members disagreed, and decided to leave the band. Another day, when Matt and Dom was rehearsing on the same place with Chris, They asked him to join the band, as a bassist. Chris, who plays drum for other band was eager to join the band, but he couldn't play bass, so he taught himself.
In 1994 they used the name Rocket Baby Dolls. Under the name, they competed in a battle of the bands. They won, smashed their equipment. After that, they decided to forget university, and changed the band name into Muse. The word was inspired by Matt's art teacher. The art teacher mentioned the word "Muses", so Matt looked it up in the dictionary and shortened it into Muse. They used it because it's short and looked good on a poster.
In 1999 Muse released their first album titled "Showbiz". it's not a major success, but one of their song "Unintended" reached #20 in UK chart; the highest position compared to their other songs.
2001, with their second album "Origin of Symmetry", Muse placed better on the chart with their lead single "Plug In Baby", reaching position 11 on the chart.
Muse released their third album "Absolution" in 2003 and their song "Time Is Running Out" goes through top 10 on the chart, placing in eighth. "Hysteria" also named as the "Best Bassline Ever".
"Supermassive Black Hole" from their album "Black Holes and Revelations" released in 2006 was their best song at the time. Other than its peak position at fourth in the chart, it also featured on 2008 movie "Twilight".
In 2009, "The Resistance" made a big hit with the song "Uprising" stayed for 17 weeks in US chart on top position. But their song titled "Undisclosed Desires" peaked only at #49 in UK chart, their lowest since "Cave" in 1999.
October this year, they planned to release their sixth album. Chris Wolstenholme said it will be something radically different. Matt Bellamy jokingly said that he will start on a "christian gangsta rap jazz odyssey, some ambient rebellious dubstep and face melting metal flamenco cowboy psychedelia" through his Twitter account.
I liked Muse because first, Matt is a musical genius; he could blend so MANY music genres - into only ONE song. Second, Chris was named one of the greatest bassist EVER; because he proved it through "Hysteria". Third, their musics ROCKED THE WORLD!!! "Plug In Baby", "Time Is Running Out", "Hysteria", "Butterflies and Hurricanes", "Supermassive Black Hole", "Starlight", "Knights of Cydonia", "Invincible", "Uprising", "Resistance"... THEY OWN!!!
Phew, that was a long story to tell, and maybe it's too long so you get bored reading it... never mind. Sorry because it's too long, that's because I REALLY like their music.
And hey, if I successfully had someone to ask about his/her favorite music, I'll be back with another post.
See you later everyone! Bye!
