Bon jovi may have been booked before and may have been around a lot lot longer selling more albums but lets face it they along with they're crappy love rock songs are awful.
Muse are still young and have already done some great songs not to mention HEADLINE all of the big festivals like Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds and V. They regularly sell out their arena tours which always features MEN arena which is the biggest indoor arena in europe i think. People who see them in America are also stunned as well.
So why is it they can't or shouldn't do 90,000 capacity Wembley again?
Awards mean nothing but this band is acknowledge as one of the best around for live shows, their produced Cds just don't compare to them live as thats when all the effects and lighting come into play. If anyone has seen the Glastonbury 2005 show and Reading this year footage then you will be blown away.
You can get the Reading full show Video or audio along with Jools holland recent show and others on the below Muse site, Reading video gig is 700MB but downloads fast and will probably be done in 30 mins or so with a reasonable connection via your browsers download manager.
People who doubt should watch that then come back. U2 are a great band but have done nothing i would call decent for years. Muse are doing it now not in the past.
