It must be true because some guy on the internet said so!
Both great bands, no need to dunk on Muse like that.
OP I really like Reapers to play nice and loud on a good system. That short little pre-chorus part never fails to get my head banging with maximum intensity.
I agree with you though I don't know much of Muse or Radiohead's discography beyond their hits. I can't think of any Radiohead song that sounds like Knights of Cydonia or Stockholm Syndrome.
Muse are Radiohead + actual musical knowledge and multi-instrument talent.
Muse make me want to bang my nut off with joy. Radiohead, not so much.
Some people play music as they commit suicide. It'd be interesting to see if there is any correlation between the two.
As soon as I hear the opening bars of "Creep" I find myself involuntarily making nooses and looking round the room for something that could take my weight.
Of course I meant "head" when I said "nut" as I guess you already knew.
Nevertheless the only wank I'd get off a Radiohead song would be a crywank. I don't doubt or challenge their creative skills. I just find my life force ebbing away to their whining, dreary songs. I know they speak right into some people's souls, but not mine.
Also, I'd be willing to put down a wager that there are more Radiohead tribute acts than Muse tribute acts because Radiohead are easier to emulate because they aren't as good.
You'll find fewer people able to play confidently on a full grand piano, then leap away from it, pick up a Manson Signature and start making it scream like a banshee.
(The Dutch tribute called "Musest" are an exception, their frontman nails it.)
I just don't like Radiohead, sorry. I recognize that this won't be popular but so be it. I think we're both smart enough to know that arguing about music won't result in any minds being charged, but I'll die on this hill if need be.
Everyone gets their panties in a bunch as soon as a truly unpopular opinion comes along, but also everyone gets pissed when people post popular opinions.
