Muse Logo

Who does not know Muse? Muse is an alternative rock band from England. The group was formed in Devon in 1994. Members of the band consisted of three people, Matthew Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme, and Dominic Howards. As a Muser (Muse fan base’s name), we want to show why Muse can be called one of the best bands in the world. Here are some of the reasons!

 

1. Live Act Performance

This band’s no doubt is one of the best live act performances in the world. They already got so many awards because of their performance. Here are some awards they got :

2 Brit Awards, 2 Kerrang Awards, 3 NME Awards, and many more.

Here a video on their live act performance :

 

2. Talented

muse personnels

Talented? Why do we call them talented? This band consists of 3 people, although in 2006-until now, there is an additional member (Morgan Nicholls) specifically in Live. But all members have their expertise, like :

Matthew Bellamy: Vocals, Guitars, Pianos, Keyboards, Synthesizers, Keytar, and Bass.

Chris Wolstenholme: As we know Chris before joining Muse, he was a guitarist and drummer because, at that time, Muse had guitarists (Matt) and drummer (Dom), so Chris started playing bass. At that time, Matt said, “If you can do that, you’re great.” A Motivation for Chris. And until now, Chris is still actively playing drums with a small band in Devon.

 

3. The Record

Record? Yep, like the picture above, Matt is the only person who destroyed the most guitars on tour. The record is official on Guinness World Records. And it’s has been confirmed by their drummer.

 

4. Award

the best band, muse

This point we already discussed in no.1, but this time is different. The award that they received is by one of the universities in Plymouth, England 2008. As in the picture above, they get a Doctor’s title because of their genius in music. Amazing!

Listening to music from Record is a lot of fun. Especially if we are playing games. Because music and games are very suitable mix and match. Several types of games are suitable for playing, you can experience many game slots at profildosen.com where its provides a lot of varieties of game that you can play on mobile handheld.

5. Fan Service

best fan service

We are quite confused about what title to give. Every time they have a concert, there will be unexpected surprises, such as playing live songs that have not been released even without the title (Call it an early version). Actually, there are so many songs like that which are sung live. And the unique songs of the early version are changing at the moment, such as (the lyrics, instruments, etc.). Well, maybe as time goes by, it will be carried out again before the release.

 

6. B-Side

hullabaloo almbum

B-Side or often called the Bonus track, Muse is known to have many songs that include B-Side songs, and even Muse made a compilation album with all the contents of B-Side’s song called Hullabaloo (Like the picture above). The album has two versions, live and studio versions.

 

7. Anti Lip-Sync

Muse is a band that really hates Lip-sync.

 

8. The Staging

Muse’s success in bringing the best live act performance is inseparable from the help of its fantastic stage. Seen from the picture above, a few eyeballs fell. The concept they use since the 2001-Present tour. The ball/balloon falls during the last song or their specialty song (Imagine you’re watching a concert there are suddenly balloons like that).

3. Green Day

Not inferior to Blink 182, a California punk band, Green Day personnel also fell in love with Pokemon Go. Although their appearance was quite fierce when they were on the stage, both Billie Joe, Mike Dirnt, and Tre Cool were not shy about having a relationship with their hunted Pokemon.

2. Blink 182

In addition to often chatting with pokemon prey, they also did not hesitate to share rare pokemon with their fans. Yes, it’s not strange considering this band is known to be close to its fans.

This Rock Song Is Inspired From A Real, Terrible Event

Art imitates life, and life imitates art.

Because life contains moments of sadness and joy, these things tend to appear in works of art, including popular songs. In fact, sometimes tragic events or disasters are needed for some legendary songs as a reference.

We all know that sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll are an inseparable package like jam, jelly, and white bread. But sometimes more terrible things can be an inspiration for their songs. Here are five rock songs that are inspired by real, horrific events.

5. A Day in the Life – the Beatles

Everyone must know the Beatles, and almost everyone likes it. From their early careers with typical Moptop hair to the psychedelic realm, The Beatles always have something new for every different musical taste. With an expanse of ideas for each of his works, The Beatles also included a real event in one of their masterpieces, A Day in the Life. A tragic car accident inspired this song.

In the biography of Hunter Davies, John Lennon explains that the first lyric of the song, which began, “I read the news today oh boy / About a lucky man who made the grade” is about the death of Tara Brown, a London socialite, heir to the Guinness beer wealth. And friends of the Beatles and Rolling Stones personnel.

Brown drove his sports car at high speed and allegedly failed to see the red light change so that it collided with a parked truck. He died of his injuries the following day. Lennon did not 100% include the accident in this song because McCartney himself helped and added some elements of drugs into it. Nevertheless, this song is still scary, even before it finishes on time.

4. Adam’s Song – Blink 182

The punk-pop band, Blink-182, is indeed famous for its seriousness in his career. They once ran naked through a set of music videos and sang silly songs about prank phone calls. But this California trio still has a serious side too, and that side was expressed in their 2000 hit, Adam’s Song.
With lyrics like, “I’m too depressed to go on / You’ll be sorry when I’m gone,” it’s not hard to know the inspiration behind this song.

According to the 2004 Washington Post article, this song was written after the band received a suicide letter from a fan. Fortunately, the fan survived his suicide attempt.

But an irony occurred when Greg Barnes, a 17-year-old high school student who had witnessed the horror of the Columbine High School massacre, hung himself in his garage with the song Adam’s Song played on a CD. Mark Hoppus later told MTV that he was saddened to hear the suicide news, and reiterated that the essence of this song was about overcoming depression and thoughts of suicide, not to surrender to him.

3. Tears In Heaven – Eric Clapton

Eric Clapton, the Slowhand from England who started his fame with the band Cream, was named the second largest guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. His hit songs like Layla and Cocain are thick with psychedelic nuances, but nothing can beat his most emotional song, Tears in Heaven.

In the song, Clapton tells of his son, Conor, who was only four years old when he fell from the 53rd floor in one of New York’s apartments in 1991.

“Would you know my name / If I saw you in heaven?”

The lyrics above show Clapton’s intense sadness after the accident. Since then, he said that this song serves as a means to channel his sadness.

2. Jeremy – Pearl Jam

Pearl Jam was one of the four grunge kings in the 90s. One of their debut songs, Jeremy, is famous for being sung with a haunting rage. This song was written based on a 15-year-old boy named Jeremy who shot himself in front of his classmates at a Texas, high school in 1991.

Frontman Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder, immediately wrote a song after reading the incident in a newspaper article. As the story goes, the boy left the classroom, returned with a .357 Magnum revolver, walked to the front of the class, put the gun barrel in his mouth, and pulled the trigger.

The repetitive lyrics “Jeremy speaks in class today” is a metaphor that alludes to the fact that Jeremy’s classmates describe him as a quiet boy. Maybe you will be more shudder if you see the eyes of Vedder in this Jeremy music video.

1. Polly – Nirvana

Frontman Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, is known to have an obsession with all sorts of strange things. One of Nirvana’s most famous songs, Smells Like Teen Spirit, is an alternative song for teenage anxiety, whose inspiration comes from the female deodorant brand. Of the many songs, Polly can be regarded as their song that has the most terrible background.

The soft acoustic song was inspired by a newspaper article read by Cobain, about a 14-year-old girl who was kidnapped, raped, and tortured with a torch by a serial rapist named Gerald Arthur Friend in 1987. Similar to what Springsteen did in Nebraska, Cobain took Friend’s perspective on writing songs, and almost humanized them through relaxed tones and lyrics.

Now that was 5 rock songs that were inspired by real, horrific events. Whatever bad events that have happened, make it as a lesson so that it does not happen again in the future.

After the Beatles broke up, Lennon was still active in music by cooperating with his wife, Yoko Ono. The name Lennon is also known as one of the world’s musicians who ended tragically because of being shot dead by a fan. John Winston Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England. His father, Alfred Lennon, was an Irish sailor, because of his work he could not accompany Julia, his wife when giving birth to their child.

Lennon’s childhood was also not very happy because of his tenuous relationship. The father is also rarely with him because he often goes out to sea. Until February 1944, the father left without news and only returned six months later only to find out if his wife, Julia was pregnant with another man. When he was four years old, Lennon was forced to choose between his father and mother who had separated. Little Lennon eventually decided to be with his mother, but more often lived with his aunt, who was called Aunt Mimi.

Nevertheless Julia still regularly visits Mimi’s residence in Mendips. It was when he was 11 years old, Lennon occasionally visited his mother in Liverpool. Lennon began to get acquainted and familiar with the music of his mother who often plays Elvis Presley songs. From her mother also Lennon learned to play an instrument, which at that time was a banjo. During elementary school, Lennon attended Dovedale Primary School in Liverpool and went on to Quarry Bank High School in the same city from 1952 to 1957.

When sitting in school, Lennon is known as a child who is relaxed and jokes more often. At the age of 16, Lennon got his first guitar bought by his mother. His aunt was more skeptical and always said that being a musician would not make money. In 1958, Lennon’s mother died after being hit by a car while walking home.

John Lennon and The Beatles Lennon have been actively playing music since they were 15 years old. While still attending school, precisely in September 1956, he formed a band called The Quarrymen, by the name of his school. It was through his performance with The Quarrymen that he finally met with Paul McCartney, who was then invited by Lennon to join his band. From McCartney, Lennon became acquainted with George Harrison who would later become the Beatles guitarist. They then recruited Stuart Sutcliffe, Lennon’s friend from art school, to become a bassist and Pete Best as a drummer in 1960. The five of them eventually formed The Beatles in early 1960. A year later, when appearing in their regular appearance at a club in Liverpool, they met with Brian Epstein, who will become the manager and bring the Beatles to sign a contract with EMI.

 Together with their new drummer, Richard Starkey, or better known as Ringo Starr, The Beatles recorded their first song entitled “Love Me Do” in October 1962. Over time, the Beatles’ name became more known, and their songs managed to top the charts. Songs in the UK, including “Please Please Me,” “She Loves You” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand.” The Beatles reached the peak of fame until finally the manager, Epstein, died from an overdose of sleeping pills. Since leaving the manager, the Beatles music career began to shake. However, in the last years before disbanding, which started to with Lennon’s withdrawal from the band in September 1969, the Beatles were still able to issue some hits, such as “Yellow Submarine” (1968) and “Let It Be” (1970). The Beatles finally announced disbanding in April 1970 with McCartney’s release.

During the visit of Lennon to US, some of information in Las Vegas hotel said that Lennon like to played Texas Hold’em Poker game and slot also. Back then he lose some money when played poker. Not just Lennon, people nowadays also still love to play casino games and one of the most famous is poker, you can play it in some online poker apps which you can compete with all people throughout the world.

Solo and Yoko Ono Careers During his last year with the Beatles, John Lennon has begun a collaborative project with his wife Yoko Ono and shortly the band broke up. He released his solo album entitled John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band. Although he is no longer with the Beatles, Lennon has proven to be able to produce successful music on the market, one of them is Imagine, which released in 1971. Lennon with Yoko Ono then moved to the US in September 1971, despite being threatened by deportation by Richard Nixon’s government because of his activities as an activist who opposed the Vietnam War. But in 1976, two years after Nixon stepped down from the presidency, Lennon and Yoko Ono received permanent residence permits in the United States.

Lennon’s married life with Yoko Ono rocked by a third person, namely May Pang, who was none other than their assistant. However, Yoko Ono’s relationship with Lennon did not end. Even Yoko Ono had time to allow Lennon to live alone with Pang before finally their relationship improved. From his marriage to Yoko Ono, Lennon had a child who was later named Sean Lennon. Sean is Yoko Ono’s first child after having miscarried several times. But for Lennon, Sean was the second child because he also had children from his first marriage to Cynthia, who was named Julian Lennon.

Top 5 Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame

Until now, no one has been able to define this popular term precisely.

Some even feel the definition would be confusing. This writing is not going to explain the answer or again define what rock music is, but will only look at a few simple elements that might influence its definition.

The literal definition of rock music is very problematic. According to Collins Cobuild English Dictionary, rock music is a type of music that has a simple tone, and a fast beat played and sung by a group of people with an electric guitar and drums. Of course, this definition is denied by many people, including me.

There is a lot of definitons for this term. Some indicate it based on sound characteristics, and others contrast it with pop music, some even emphasize defining rock music based on the process of making music, the spirit of the music maker, or the lyrics contained.

Apart from all that, the history of rock music has disrupted great musicians and could rule the stage of rock music in the world in the era of 60-90. Here is a list of the 5 greatest rock singers of all time:

1. James Douglas Morrison

He was also known as a writer of books/poetry collections and film directors short and documentary. With The Doors, Morrison produced six albums all of them received Platinum certificates by the RIAA.

In Memoriam Jim Morrison, 1943-1971: I’m Gonna Love You, Till The Heavens Stop The Rain

Jim Morrison

Right on July 3, 1971, in Paris, France, the body of the legendary rock singer, as well as the motorbike of one of the biggest bands in the rock music universe, The Doors, Jim Morrison, was discovered by his lover, Pamella Courson, in a bathtub in an apartment his.

An autopsy had never been carried out for Jim’s body, so the cause of death was confusing until now. Some sources say he died of a heart attack, and there is also a mention of overdosage due to the use of illegal drugs which caused his life to be lost. The most extreme version says that Jim didn’t die, but he deliberately made the news that he died, to avoid the popularity, and the crowd, which he didn’t like. Born James Douglas Morrison, on December 8, 1943, from a Scottish, and Irish, Clara Clarke Morrison and George Stephen Morrison, Jim, was the eldest of the three siblings, two siblings, Anne Robin (born in 1947), and Andrew “Andy” Lee (born in 1948). Jim, who was very interested in the world of film, decided to explore the world of cinema, by entering the film faculty at the University of California (UCLA), and completing his education in 1965. After graduating from UCLA, Jim, met Ray Manzarek, a player a very reliable keyboard, and also a student at UCLA. Then together, John Densmore (drums), and Robby Krieger (guitar), they formed the rock band group, The Doors, in 1965.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

The Doors

With The Doors, the name Jim, immediately skyrocketed, as a rocker, who is also good at writing poetry. Almost all lyric of the song The Doors is the work of his. His phenomenal works, such as, “Light My Fire,” “Roadhouse Blues,” “Love Me Two Time,” etc., at that time, did become something completely new. Exploration of musical instruments that produce strange sounds, and dark lyric-lyric, made the media call the music of The Doors, Rock Psychedelic. A name that can describe the music of The Doors, which is far ahead of his era. In addition to his ability to write a beautiful lyric, and his heavy vocal voice, Jim’s stage also acts often cause controversy. One of them when The Doors, appeared at the Dinner Key Auditorium, Miami, in 1969. Jim, at that time, seemed out of control due to alcoholism, and drugs, he showed his vulgar body parts to the audience. But indeed he has the charisma that is needed by a Rock Star. The presence of close friends at The Doors is also very supportive. Manzarek, a reliable keyboardist, is still hard to find a match for. Likewise with Robby Krieger, and John Densmore, it is only a pity that musical instruments which at that time very simply did not support the experiments carried out by this band. The limitation factor of the less supportive tools is also believed to be one of the factors, which makes Jim feel increasingly depressed because his ideas were so exceeded his era.

Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.

Recognition for his singing ability comes from various parties. One of them from Rollingstone magazine, which put it on the 47th ladder, “100 Greatest Singers of All Time”. Also, he is recognized as an icon in the world of rock music, which is a role model for many rock musicians. Jim, who when he died was 27 years old, was also a member of the club “Forever 27”, along with Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, and Kurt Cobain. A club of rock musicians who died at the age of 27. The Doors, themselves entered the Rock n Rool Hall of Fame, in 1993. Likewise with the song, “Light My Fire,” which began the Grammy Hall of Fame, in 1998, as an all-time rock song.

Now after 40 years, Jim, leaving this world, his fans still commemorate the day of his death by gathering at the Pere-Lachaise cemetery, Paris, where his body buried. They lit candles, and Ray Manzarek, and Robby Krieger, also attended the 40-year event commemorating the death of one of the greatest rock stars of all time. Even though he left the world, all the works, and also the charisma of a Jim Morrison, will never die forever.
