Karier

Ia memperoleh sepasang stik drum pada usia lima tahun, dan menerima drum sendiri pada usia sepuluh. Hanya dalam waktu satu tahun, dia sudah bermain "The Black Page" dengan mahasiswa dalam ansambel perkusi yang dilakukan oleh gurunya.

Di SMA, bergabung Avenged Sevenfold sebagai salah satu anggota pendiri band ini. Sullivan adalah drummer band ska band Suburban Legends. Pada usia delapan belas tahun dia merekam album pertama dengan Avenged Sevenfold berjudul "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet". Kemudian dalam hidupnya ia dipengaruhi oleh drumer Vinnie Paul, Mike Portnoy, dan Terry Bozzio. Dia bahkan memiliki pengaruh "visual", Tommy Lee, di mana ia berkomentar bahwa "Saya tidak menyangka akan memiliki salah satu dari mereka." Kemampuan Sullivan yang disebutnya "'The Double-ride' adalah suatu teknik yang dapat didengar pada lagu" Almost Easy "di mana dia bermain ganda sampai pada tempo cepat antara double bass dan cymbal naik. Perusahaan drum "Drum Workshop" mengesahkan The Rev dan berkata dia bisa punya drum yang ia inginkan, sehingga ia memilih double bass drum, yang ia lebih pilih daripada double bass pedal. The Rev tidak hanya bermain drum, dia adalah vokalis, pencipta lagu, dan pianist untuk Avenged Sevenfold juga. Keterampilannya sebagai seorang pianis dapat didengar pada lagu "Warmness In Soul" di mana bagian pianonya adalah fokus utama dari lagu yang mencakup solo ditulis oleh The Rev. Vokalnya ditampilkan dalam "Avenged Sevenfold A Little Piece of Heaven "," Brompton Cocktail "," Gunslinger "," Lost ", dan" afterlife". Pengetahuannya tentang gitar dan piano untuk menulis lagu-lagu" "Almost Easy," A Little Piece of Heaven ", "afterlife" , "Brompton Cocktail" dan "Critical Acclaim yang muncul di album Avenged Sevenfold selfl-titled. Dia juga memberikan kontribusi untuk pembuatan "Critical Acclaim" dan "Lost". Band ini menjadi sangat populer dan memenangkan MTV Music Award untuk Best New Artist pada tahun 2006. Dan pada tahun 2009, dalam jajak pendapat dari beberapa drumer terbesar di dunia yang dilakukan oleh Majalah Rhythm, The Rev mendapat tempat sebagai drumer ke 41 terbesar sepanjang masa, dan ia termasuk pemain Drum terhebat di dunia yg berada di urutan ke-9.

Berita Kematian The Rev

Drummer AVENGED SEVENFOLD, James Sullivan atau yang lebih dikenal dengan The Rev yang juga menjadi backing vocal di grup tersebut kemarin secara mengejutkan dikabarkan telah meninggal dunia dalam usia 28 tahun di rumahnya di daerah Southern California, Amerika.

Sejauh ini pihak kepolisian setempat mengindikasikan tidak ada hal ganjil dibalik kematian salah satu drummer terbaik dunia tersebut dan The Rev meninggal secara wajar atau mungkin kelelahan akibat jadwal tur dan mereka baru saja menyelesaikan seluruh proses rekaman penggarapan album baru yang dijadwalkan beredar 2010.

“Kami mendapat kabar yang sangat sedih dan dengan berat hati kami merelakan Jimmy ‘The Rev’ Sulivan meninggalkan dunia. Jimmy bukan hanya salah satu drummer terbaik dunia, namun lebih dari itu dia sangat penting untuk menjadi teman terbaik dan saudara kami. Doa kami untuk keluarga Jimmy dan semoga kalian dapat menghormati Jimmy terutama ketika melewati masa-masa sulitnya. Jimmy, kau akan tetap ada di hati kami selamanya. Kami mencintaimu,” demikian ditulis AVENGED SEVENFOLD lewat email resmi mereka.

Mungkin beberapa review kami tentang AVENGED SEVENFOLD terkesan kejam, mengingat sold outnya mereka ke major label dan musik yang berubah dengan lebih bersahabat ke pasar mainstream. Namun jiki menilik ke awal tahun 2000-an band ini cukup sering mengkontak kami dan bahkan mengirim sendiri dua album pertama mereka, ‘Sounding of Seventh Trumpet’ dan ‘Waking the Fallen’ dengan versi orijinal ke alamat Berontak Zine untuk direview.

Salam hormat kami untuk The Rev dan juga AVENGED SEVENFOLD serta keluarga yang ditinggalkan.

"EVERY FIFTH GRADER'S FAVORITE BAND IS METALLICA" ......... "WHAT ABOUT BEING NAKED IN THE LIQUOR STORE? I WAS NAKED IN A LIQUOR STORE AND..." "TO BE INVISIBLE SO THAT I COULD KILL JOHNNY AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW." "I DON'T BLAME ANYONE FOR WANTING TO FUCK US." "I THINK WEVE DONE AS MANY DRUGS IN ONE NIGHT AS ANYONE HAS EVER COMBINED." "HE HALLUCINATED THAT WE WERE REPLACING HIM WITH THE BASSIST OF ATREYU!" "I WORKED IN A FUCKING LAUNDROMAT." "YEAH, I WOULD JUST GO AND OPEN IT UP, BRING MY PILLOW AND BLANKET, AND SLEEP UNTIL IT WAS TIME TO LOCK UP. IT WAS COOL. I WOULD BRING MY FUCKING TV/VCR AND JUST CHILL." "COME ON, I KNOW THE WEIRDEST THING. THE WEIRDEST THING IS THAT CHICK ............THAT CAME UP AND ASKED ME TO CUT HER WITH A KNIFE. ISN'T THAT THE WEIRDEST THING?" IVES ARE ANTI- ABORTION. I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ABORTION" "Oh Shit! What's in the bucket? What's in the bucket but a bucket of shit but a bucket of grapes, and the grapes in the mouth make you happy down south. Make you getta big boner what ya gonna do.?" "One day, dude, I'm just gonna get off the bus, and I'm gonna.. I'm gonna run into the woods, and I'm Never coming back! And when I come back, I'm gonna be the knife master! " “I SPILT PAINT ALL OVER THE BAR, THEY ALMOST FIRED ME.?" "Let's come and laugh at me !!! let's come laugh at the artissstt !!!!" "you guys are my best friends and I’m having the best time in the fucking world. I’m a little too close to Johnny right now but that’s okay" "This is a lesson about life: This is one person. This is another person. This is one person trying to understand another person, even though it doesn't have room to download the other person into it's brain. It cannot understand the other person, even though it tries to. So he ends up overflowing with knowledge." "Well, what a great.. What a great audience! What a great audience!" Look at the size of that fucking duck! LOOK AT THAT DUCK!!! JESUS CHRIST!! Come here, you fucking.. stallion duck!" "I'm outa here, I'm only playing one song, and I'm not coming back for ten years! And when I come back..!" "Just a spoonfull of Jimmy helps the whole world go down!" "Let's see what is up with this dog today... *picks up Synyster's dog, and it starts spazzing out* Hey dog. What's wrong with you? Dog! *puts down the dog and it walks away completely fine* Jesus Christ!" "Fuck Prada! Lickin' on my nuts, suckin' on my nuts, suckin'... fuckin' grindin' DOWN on dem nuts." "Hey! I had an epileptic fucking seizure, dude! Yeah, I was looking directly there and then all the lighting, like I couldn't see drums or the crowd or anything. But just crazy colors. Nothing but flashing and explosion and I'm all OH MY GOD! I'm all am I concience? And then I just closes my eyes and tried to hibernate. It's crazy." "Id like to thank God, whichever one, hahaha whichever one I believe in, which im not sure about yet. Just kiddin Dad, my best friend right here, thank you guys for much more than this award right here!" ""Look at all these pigeons, think they can just trust us humans? You can't trust us humans!" "My life is kinda like a story that if I told you about it you probably wouldn’t believe. It would seem like fiction. That’s me" "The first couple of months when you release an album, the crowds don't know the songs quite as well, so the shows get better after a few months." "I'm just proud and I'm touched when I see someone with a new Avenged Sevenfold tat. and now ...I always make sure I check them out if they're sportin'one. That's meaningful when you put someone else’s ink on your body." "Over all Avenged Sevenfold the album is 10 times better than the others." "I don't do well with technology." "Everyone in this band has beaten Johnny up at some point." "I beat myself off 17 times in one day. That's the worst beating I've ever handed out. I was so sore that it was hard to get that last load out." "Your clothes you would think would always be clean when you live in a laundry mat, but no!! I lived in a laundry mat for 6 months and I only washed my clothes twice." "Spiders and fuckin shit on my face. I'm not happy about it at all. There is nothing to be happy about spiders on my face. But it's gonna look cool." "What gives Dr. Pillowfucker the right to ask us that stupid question?" "Like most bands we're a family, family before band. If we broke up tomorrow, we'd still be friends." ''The people in this band are my best friends on the planet. Some of them longer then other and some of them truly are my heart and my soul’’ "WHY!!!" "Going from playing a backroom of a bar to a show for 80,000 people...that's pretty wild." - 2007 - "The album, the music, and the live shows that's what we are here to do." - 2006 - "We love being on the road. I get really bored if I'm home... for too long or in one spot for too long. Touring is more fun, but the act of creating music that people love is also very satisfying." "The first couple of months when you release an album, the crowds don't know the songs quite as well, so the shows get better after a few months." "I'm just proud and I'm touched when I see someone with a new Avenged Sevenfold tat. and now I always make sure I check them out if they're sportin'one. That's meaningful when you put someone else’s ink on your body." "Like most bands we're a family, family before band. If we broke up tomorrow, we'd still be friends." "I call it the double-ride thing just for the lack of a better definition because no one does it. "It is very hard to keep yourself on the bells without being able to look. You can't look at the two places at the same time. My right hand naturally can find the ride on its own, so I have to look at the bell on the left, and you also have to bring it over to hit the snare, so it gets a bit hard and that's when you start looking like a fucking octopus weirdo, its awesome!" "I love it, I live for it. I've never been able to stay in one place and I just like the Excitement of getting out there and playing live and the whole lifestyle that comes along with it. I like to party when the time to party is right, as we all do, I believe. Being in new countries every week is just awesome when you take in the foreign culture. When we go to other countries, we always make sure we have a couple days between shows and get to see the places we want to see. It's perfect-you're on vacation and your working, too. I'm obsessed with seeing as much of the world as possible." "Over all Avenged Sevenfold the album is 10 times better than the others." "Critical Acclaim is just in your face madness going, it all just sticks to that and doesn't transition to something that's completely left field." "The biggest headlining show we ever done were at the Gibson Amphitheater in L.A. That was an overwhelming moment. Also, a great moment was the first time we went out on stage with Metallica. Oh and meeting a lot of my idols like Vinnie Paul. Those moments are always really rewarding." "I started playing double bass in the 6th or 7th grade but no one ever taught me, so I didn't really figure out how to build up my endurance and stamina to just do straight sixteenth-notes as fast as you want until much later, until I was about 19 or so." "I don't do well with technology." referencing when his i-pod broke loosing over 4500 rare and vintage songs. "It was a bit of a letdown. It was just like drinking something that tasted kind of bad and didn't do a thing for you. In the long run, I would have just rather let the King cobra live, you know? Because he was a cool looking Motherfucker." "I can write any style that I choose. I've always been heavily influenced by Danny Elfman, Oingo Boingo, Mr. Bungle, and bands like that. With all the different parts and the cinematic feel." "What's up, Regina?" "I'm Gonna Kill you, Because i have mental problems, because i need lasik !!"

Band Killing Me Inside (Killms) adalah band bergenre Modern Rock / Emo yang dibentuk pada awal tahun 2006 dengan personilnya, yaitu : Sansan sebagai vokalis, Raka dan Josaphat sebagai gitaris, Onadio sebagai bassis dan Rendy pada drum. Pada pertengahan '08, Raka (gitaris) Killing Me Inside terpaksa mengundurkan diri untuk bergabung dengan band lain (Vierra) karena beberapa alasan.

"Gue harus mengundurkan diri dari band ini (Killms) karena adanya bentrok antara 2 band yaitu Killing Me Inside dan Vierra. Kedua band ini akan menjalankan kontrak dimana suatu pihak tidak membolehkan playernya untuk mempunyai lebih dari 1 band. Saat ini gue berada di posisi yang bagi gue hasil akhirnya sama skali bukan apa yang gua inginkan, dimana gue diharuskan untuk memilih Vierra yang disebabkan oleh "suatu faktor keluarga" yang sama sekali gak bisa gue tolak," kata Raka seperti yang dituliskan di Blog Myspace Killms.

Kemudian pada tahun itu, memasuki 2009, setelah beberapa kali manggung dan melakukan tour, Sansan (Vokalis) dan Rendy (Drum) meninggalkan band dan juga karena beberapa alasan. Sansan sebagai vokalis keluar karena memang pilihannya dia sendiri untuk keluar (sekarang ada di Pee Wee Gaskins) dan Rendy sebagai Drummer mengundurkan diri karena sibuk untuk rencana jangka panjangnya demi masa depan.

Formasi terbaru Killms adalah sebagai berikut: Onadio sebagai vokalis, Josaphat pada gitar, Agung pada bass dan Davi untuk menggantikan Rendy pada drum. Band ini sudah mempunyai satu album yaitu "A Fresh Start For Something New" yang hitsnya lagunya yaitu "The Tormented".

are an English alternative rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, formed in 1994. The band consists of school friends Matthew Bellamy (lead vocals, guitars, piano, keyboards, keytar), Christopher Wolstenholme (bass, backing vocals, keyboards, guitars, harmonica) and Dominic Howard (drums, percussion, synthesisers, backing vocals, sampling). After the release of their 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations, keyboardist and percussionist Morgan Nicholls has performed live with the band. Muse are known for their energetic and extravagant live performances, and their fusion of many music genres, including progressive rock, alternative rock, space rock, pop music, heavy metal, and electronica, with recurring themes of revolution. Muse have released five studio albums: Showbiz (1999), Origin of Symmetry (2001), Absolution (2003), Black Holes and Revelations (2006), and The Resistance (2009). The band have also issued three live albums, Hullabaloo Soundtrack (2002), which is also a compilation of B-sides, Absolution Tour (2005), and HAARP (2008). Black Holes and Revelations earned the band a Mercury Prize nomination and a third place finish in the NME Albums of the Year list for 2006. Muse have also won numerous other music awards throughout their history, including five MTV Europe Music Awards, five Q Awards, eight NME Awards, two BRIT awards, an MTV Video Music Award, four Kerrang! Awards and an American Music Award. They were also nominated for three Grammy Awards, of which they won Best Rock Album for their fifth studio album, The Resistance.As of November 2010, Muse have sold over ten million albums worldwide. 1992–1998: Formation and early years The members of Muse played in separate school bands during their stay at Teignmouth Community College in the early 1990s, but the formation of Muse began when Bellamy successfully auditioned for the part of guitarist in Dominic Howard's band. They asked Chris Wolstenholme – who played the drums at the time – to learn to play bass guitar for the band; the other original members of Gothic Plague left after Bellamy suggested that they write their own songs rather than doing covers. Wolstenholme agreed and took up lessons, while Bellamy had to become singer and songwriter for the band. Bellamy and Howard's first band name was Gothic Plague. After Gothic Plague came Fixed Penalty, and after that, Rocket Baby Dolls.In 1994 the band used the name Rocket Baby Dolls with a goth/glam image to compete in a local battle of the bands. The band won the contest, smashing their equipment in the process. "It was supposed to be a protest, a statement," Bellamy said, "so, when we actually won, it was a real shock, a massive shock. After that, we started taking ourselves seriously." Shortly after the contest, the three decided to forget university, quit their jobs, change the band name to Muse (1994–1995), and move away from Teignmouth. The name "Muse" was inspired by Matthew Bellamy's art teacher. The art teacher Samuel Theoun mentioned the word "Muses". Bellamy then looked it up in the dictionary and decided to shorten it to "Muse." It was also used because it was short and the members felt it looked good on a poster

1998–2000: First EPs and Showbiz

After a few years building a fan base, Muse played their first gigs in London and Manchester. The band had a significant meeting with Dennis Smith, the owner of Sawmills Studio, situated in a converted water mill in Cornwall. He had seen the three boys grow up as he knew their parents and had a production company together with their manager to be Safta Jaffery.This meeting led to their first proper recordings and the release of the Muse EP on Sawmills' in-house Dangerous label.[13] Their second EP, the Muscle Museum EP, reached number 3 in the indie singles chart and attracted the attention of British radio broadcaster Steve Lamacq as well as the weekly British music publication NME. Dennis Smith introduced the band to Safta Jaffery with whom he had recently started the record label Taste Media. Muse signed with Smith and Jaffery and recorded their first three albums, Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry, and Absolution, with Taste Media.Despite the success of their second EP, British record companies were reluctant to sign Muse. It was after a trip to New York's CMJ Festival that an American record label flew them to Los Angeles to showcase. Nanci Walker, then Sr. Director of A&R at Columbia Records, flew Muse to the U. S. to showcase for Columbia Records' then-Senior Vice President of A&R, Tim Devine, as well as for American Recording's Rick Rubin. It was during this trip, on 24 December 1998, that Muse signed a deal with Maverick Records.[19] Upon their return from America, Taste Media arranged deals for Muse with various record labels in Europe and Australia, allowing them to maintain control over their career in individual countries.[20] John Leckie was brought in to produce the band's first record, Showbiz. The album showcased the band's soft style, and the lyrics made reference to the difficulties they had encountered while trying to establish themselves in Teignmouth.

2001–2002: Origin of Symmetry

During production of the band's second album, Origin of Symmetry, the band experimented with instrumentation such as a church organ, Mellotron, and an expanded drum kit. There were more of Bellamy's high-pitched vocal lines, arpeggiated guitar, and piano playing. Bellamy cites guitar influences such as Jimi Hendrix and Tom Morello (of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave), the latter evident in the more riff-based songs in Origin of Symmetry and in Bellamy's extensive use of pitch-shifting effects in his solos.[21] The album also features a reworking of Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse's "Feeling Good".[22] Celine Dion was threatened with legal action in 2002 when she planned to name her Las Vegas show "Muse," despite the band owning the worldwide performing rights to the name. Celine Dion offered $50,000 for the rights but Muse rejected this with Bellamy stating that "We don't want to turn up there with people thinking we're Celine Dion's backing band." Eventually Dion was forced to back down.[23] Origin of Symmetry was well-received by critics; NME gave the album 9/10 with Roger Morton writing, "It's amazing for such a young band to load up with a heritage that includes the darker visions of Cobain and Kafka, Mahler and The Tiger Lillies, Cronenberg and Schoenberg, and make a sexy, populist album. But Muse have carried it off."[24] Maverick had reservations about Bellamy's vocal style on this album (considering it not to be "radio-friendly" and asked Muse to change some of their songs prior to U. S. release. The band refused and left Maverick, resulting in Maverick's decision not to release "Origin of Symmetry" in the United States.[25] The album was finally released in the U.S. in September 2005, after Muse signed to Warner Bros.[26] Muse released a live DVD, Hullabaloo, featuring live footage recorded during Muse's two gigs on consecutive nights at Le Zenith in Paris in 2001 and a documentary film of the band on tour. A double album, Hullabaloo Soundtrack was released at the same time, containing a compilation of B-sides and a disc of recordings of songs from the Le Zenith performances. A double-A side single was also released featuring new songs "In Your World" and "Dead Star".

2003–2005: Absolution

Absolution (produced by Rich Costey) was released in 2003 and debuted at number one in the UK. The album yielded their first top ten hit with "Time Is Running Out" and later three top-twenty hits: "Hysteria", "Sing For Absolution" and "Butterflies and Hurricanes". Muse subsequently undertook their first international tour. It continued for about a year and saw Muse visiting Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, and France. Meanwhile, the band released six singles (one being for charity) ("Time Is Running Out", "Hysteria", "Sing for Absolution", "Stockholm Syndrome", "Butterflies and Hurricanes" and "Apocalypse Please"). The US leg of the 2004 tour began ominously as Bellamy injured himself on stage during the opening show in Atlanta.[28] The tour resumed after several stitches and a couple of days. The band also played at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2004. After the festival, the band described the concert as "the best gig of our lives". However, drummer Dominic Howard's father, William Howard, who was at the festival to watch the band, died from a heart attack very shortly after the performance. "It was the biggest feeling of achievement we've ever had after coming offstage", Bellamy said. "It was almost surreal that an hour later his dad died. It was almost not believable. We spent about a week sort of just with Howard trying to support him. I think he was happy that at least his dad got to see him at probably what was the finest moment so far of the band's life". The single Butterflies & Hurricanes was dedicated to Howard's dad.[citation needed] Muse then continued their tour. They won two MTV Europe awards, including "Best Alternative Act" and a Q Award for "Best Live Act". Muse also received an award for "Best Live Act" at the 2005 BRIT Awards. Muse lost out twice to The Libertines for the NME award Best British Band, in 2004 and 2005. In July 2005, Muse participated in the Live 8 concert in Paris. 2003 saw the band sue Nestlé, who used their cover of Nina Simone's "Feeling Good" on an advert for Nescafé without the band's permission. They donated the compensation money to Oxfam.The main reason behind the legal action was the bassist, Christopher Wolstenholme, who at the time had his third child, and was against the company that had a dubious reputation when it came to the promotion of powdered milk to new mothers in the third world. An unofficial and unauthorised DVD biography containing no Muse music called Manic Depression was released in April 2005; the band was not involved with the project and did not endorse the release.[35] Another DVD, this time official, was released by the band on 12 December 2005, called Absolution Tour. The official release contained re-edited and re-mastered highlights from the Glastonbury Festival 2004 and previously unseen footage from London Earls Court, Wembley Arena, and the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. Two songs, "Endlessly" and "Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist", are hidden tracks on the DVD taken from Wembley Arena. The only song from Absolution not to appear on the live DVD is "Falling Away With You", which has never been performed live to date.[36] Absolution eventually went Gold in the US.
2006–08: Black Holes and Revelations and HAARP
In 2006, Muse released their fourth album, Black Holes and Revelations, co-produced by Muse and Rich Costey. The album's title and themes are the result of the band's fascination with science fiction and political outrage.[38][39] The album charted at No. 1 in the UK, much of Europe, and Australia. It was also a success in the United States, reaching number nine on the Billboard 200 album chart.[40] Prior to the release of the new album, the band resumed making live performances, which had halted while recording, making a number of promotional TV appearances starting on 13 May 2006 at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend. The Black Holes and Revelations Tour started just before the release of their album and initially consisted mostly of festival appearances, most notably a headline slot at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in August 2006.[41] The band's main touring itinerary started with a tour of North America from late July to early August 2006. After the last of the summer festivals, a tour of Europe began, including a large arena tour of the UK.[42] Black Holes and Revelations was nominated for the 2006 Mercury Music Prize, but lost to Arctic Monkeys.[43] The album did, however, earn a Platinum Europe Award after selling one million copies in the continent.[44] In August 2006, Muse recorded a live session at Abbey Road Studios for Live from Abbey Road. The first single from the album, "Supermassive Black Hole", was released as a download in May 2006. It was later followed by general releases as a single the next month, all ahead of the main album release. The second single, "Starlight", was released in September 2006. "Knights of Cydonia" was released in the US as a radio-only single in June 2006 and in the UK in November 2006. "Knights of Cydonia" was voted number 1 in the world's largest music poll Australian Radio's Triple J Hottest 100 for 2007 and 18th in Triple J's Hottest 100 of All Time in 2009. The fourth single from the album, "Invincible", was then released in April 2007.[45] Another single, "Map of the Problematique", was released for digital download only in June 2007, following the band's performance at Wembley Stadium. The band spent November and much of December 2006 touring Europe with British band Noisettes as the supporting act. The tour continued in Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia in early 2007 before returning to England for the summer. Possibly their biggest performances to date were two gigs at the newly rebuilt Wembley Stadium on 16 and 17 June 2007. Both Wembley concerts were recorded for a DVD/CD titled HAARP, which was released on 17 March 2008[47] in the UK and 1 April 2008[48] in the USA. The touring continued across Europe in July 2007 before heading back to the US in August where they played to a sold out crowd at Madison Square Garden, New York.[49] They earned a headline spot on the second night of the Austin City Limits Music Festival on 15 September 2007, after The White Stripes cancelled their performance. Not long after, they also performed at the October 2007 Vegoose in Las Vegas alongside bands like Rage Against the Machine, Daft Punk, and Queens of the Stone Age.[49] Muse continued touring in Eastern Europe, Russia, and Scandinavia before moving on to Australia and New Zealand. Muse played their final show of the Black Holes and Revelations tour as headliner of the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas after playing to sell-out crowds throughout Southeast Asia, Australia, the United States, and New Zealand.[25] A number of individual live appearances also occurred in 2008. In March, they played concerts in Dubai, Johannesburg, and Cape Town.[50] On 12 April they played a one-off concert at the Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.[51] Muse were present at Rock in Rio Lisboa on 6 June, along other bands such as Kaiser Chiefs, The Offspring and Linkin Park.[52] The band also performed at a new gig in Marlay Park, Dublin on 13 August and were set to play at a gig in Belfast on 14 August. However, the Belfast date was dismissed according to The Belfast Telegraph.[53] Kasabian and Glasvegas supported Muse on their Irish date.[54] A few days later, they were the headline act at V Festival 2008, playing in Chelmsford on Saturday 16 August and Staffordshire on Sunday 17 August.[55] They also hinted at the possibility of a future stadium tour or concerts in South America.[56] On 25 September 2008, Bellamy, Howard and Wolstenholme all received a Honorary Doctorate of Arts from the University of Plymouth for their contributions to music.

2009–present: The Resistance

The band's fifth studio album The Resistance was released in September 2009. It is the first Muse album to have been produced by the band itself.[59] The album was engineered by Adrian Bushby and mixed by Mark Stent.[60] On its release, it topped the album charts in 19 countries, became the band's third number one album in the UK,[61] and reached number 3 on the Billboard 200.[62] Critics were mostly positive about the album, with much of the praise directed towards its ambition, classical music influences and the thirteen-minute, three-part "Exogenesis: Symphony".[63] It also beat its predecessor Black Holes and Revelations in relative album sales in its debut week in the UK with approximately 148,000 copies sold.[64] The first single "Uprising" was released seven days earlier.[65] The Resistance Tour started with a Seaside Rendezvous in Teignmouth, Devon in September 2009 and included headlining Coachella Festival in April 2010. It also included two gigs at Wembley Stadium in September 2010. The band also supported U2 for their U2 360° Tour. In the "Breakfast with Muse Concert" KROQ held, Muse was asked how long they would be on tour. They commented saying in a paraphrase, "We will probably be touring until the end of next year. We will be doing this U2 and European tour and ship off to Australia and Asia and return for an extensive US tour. It will actually be our longest US tour to date. Starting at about the end of February or March. In January 2010, Muse headlined the Big Day Out festival at its various venues in Australia and New Zealand starting with Auckland and eventually ending with Perth. Muse headlined Coachella on Saturday 17 April. Muse also headlined the Glastonbury Festival 2010 along with Gorillaz and Stevie Wonder as well as the Oxegen festival in 2010 alongside Arcade Fire and Eminem. The group were also headline on the 2010 Hovefestivalen, as well as T in the Park 2010 and among other festivals, including the Austin City Limits Music Festival. On 20 April 2010, the band announced fourteen dates for a North American tour, which will be held between September and November 2010. In addition to this, the band have added further four dates to their forthcoming North American tour, on 28 April 2010. On 7 May 2010, it was announced that Muse would provide a pre-written song to be the lead single for the third film of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. The soundtrack's lead single "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)" was released on 17 May. Muse played at Glastonbury in June 2010 and were joined onstage by The Edge from U2 to play "Where The Streets Have No Name", after U2 pulled out of their headlining slot due to lead singer Bono's back injury. Muse's fearsome live reputation helped secure them the O2 Silver Clef Award in London on 2 July 2010. The award was presented by Roger Taylor and Brian May of Queen. Taylor described the Warner-signed trio as "probably the greatest live act in the world today," while May said that "this is a magnificent, incredible group." On 12 July 2010 bassist Chris Wolstenholme informed NME magazine that the band would be taking a break following the conclusion of their world tour supporting The Resistance. He also stated that the band would definitely begin recording material for a new album in 2011. Also, on 8 September, frontman Matthew Bellamy claimed in an interview with NME that the music for the band's next studio album would be more "personal" and more fitting for smaller scale performances as opposed to their current stadium tour. In 2010, Muse topped a poll by popular music magazine NME for their cover of Nina Simone's song "Feeling Good" as the greatest cover song of all time. Over 15,000 people voted. On 12 September 2010, Muse won an MTV Video Music Award in the category of Best Special Effects, for the promo for "Uprising". On November 21, Muse took home an American Music Award for Favorite Artist in the Alternative Rock Music Category, in a ceremony at the Nokia Theater, Los Angeles. On 2 December, it was announced that Muse had been nominated for three awards for the 53rd Grammy Awards: Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group with Vocals - ("Resistance"); Best Rock Song - ("Resistance"), and Best Rock Album: (The Resistance). Based on having the largest airplay and sales in the U.S, Muse were named the Billboard Alternative and Rock artist for 2010 with "Uprising", "Resistance" and "Undisclosed Desires" achieving 1st, 6th and 49th on the year end Alternative Song chart respectively. At the 53rd Grammy Awards on February 13, 2011, Muse won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album for The Resistance. Muse are an alternative rock band, and are often associated with space rock and progressive rock.Some of their music mixes elements from genres such electronica, classical music and rock opera. Many Muse songs are recognisable by lead vocalist Matthew Bellamy's use of falsetto and vibrato influenced primarily by Jeff Buckley. As a guitarist, Bellamy often utilises arpeggiator and Pitch-shift effects to create a more "electric" sound, citing Jimi Hendrix and Tom Morello as influences for this method. Muse's album Black Holes and Revelations was influenced by various styles of European and Asian music. "I've been listening to quite a lot of music from the south of Italy on this album", Bellamy admits. "I've been living in Italy for a while, and I discovered this music from Naples, which sounds like a mix of music from Africa, Croatia, Turkey, and Italy. It kind of gives it a mystical sound, so I think that's one thing that influenced the album. I like being influenced by things that have a mixed style". Muse have cited Queen as an influence.Queen guitarist Brian May has praised Muse's work, calling the band "extraordinary musicians" who "let their madness show through, always a good thing in an artist." In particular, Dominic Howard noted the influence of Queen on "United States of Eurasia". On the band's association with progressive rock, Dominic Howard has said: "I associate it with 10-minute guitar solos, but I guess we kind of come into the category. A lot of bands are quite ambitious with their music, mixing lots of different styles — and when I see that I think it's great. I've noticed that kind of thing becoming a bit more mainstream."

Musical style

Muse are an alternative rock band, and are often associated with space rock and progressive rock. Some of their music mixes elements from genres such electronica, classical music and rock opera. Many Muse songs are recognisable by lead vocalist Matthew Bellamy's use of falsetto and vibrato influenced primarily by Jeff Buckley. As a guitarist, Bellamy often utilises arpeggiator and Pitch-shift effects to create a more "electric" sound, citing Jimi Hendrix and Tom Morello as influences for this method. Muse's album Black Holes and Revelations was influenced by various styles of European and Asian music.
