DAY THREE: THE MUSICS OF MUSE

Muse is perhaps one of the best alternative rock group ever exported by UK in the recent eras. In comparison, we have other acts like Blur or Oasis (U2 from Ireland though) that have dominated the alternative rock sings on the 90s. They are not new although their music is still in infancy in United States. Their existence in the mainstream has been lasted since their formation in 1992.

This is not the first time I wrote about them in my blog. I love Muse and I was inspired by the differences in tunes infusion and the creativity that they always brought forward each time a new record hits the store. Muse comprised of the trio of Matthew Bellamy (vocal, guitar, piano), Christopher Wolstenholme (bass guitar, backing vocal, keyboard) and Dominic Howard (drums, percussions).

Muse's songs are not foreign from us actually. Sometimes somewhere, you may heard their songs from some TV adverts, record stores, film trailers or even just a random tunes out from the radio. Here are the musics of Muse:
