Where's the music???

"Muse is obviously one of the top bands musically in this day and age. Creative music and lyrics will always make them an amazing listening experience.

1st note: There is abolutely no Muse music on this DVD. I guess they did not, or could not get copywrite approval for the DVD. Maybe this should have been considered before even creating this DVD.

2nd note: The DVD does contain Muse interviews and such, but compared to the 63 minutes on the total DVD, its probably less than 15 minutes. Some of the interview footage is rather funny.

3rd note: The DVD does give some interesting history on how Muse met, where they came from, etc...

4th note: The DVD does have some interviews with people who have worked with them. The best of the interviews come from the old Guitar Tech, and a Producer. All the other interview sessions sound like a sale or a promotion of the band.

Not sure how or where this DVD really came from, but it kind of was a dissapointment. Quality is pretty high, so some one did definately put some $$ behind this project. But seriously, how can you have a MUSE dvd without MUSE music?

Waste of money

"This DVD was a waste of money and a waste of time. It's "unauthorized" by MUSE, so therefore there were no interviews, no live footage, and none of their music was included. They interviewed people who had never even met the band. I learned nothing new from watching it. Don't waste your money!"

For Die Hard Fans Only

"This DVD is totally unauthorized, Muse did not participate and none of their music is used or played, which is a huge dissappointment. It is a series of interviews of past friends, hanger-ons and wannabe's, but it is interesting if you are as huge a fan of the band as I am and want to hear stories of what things were like for them in the beginning. The interviewees seemed honest, likeable and fans themselves so it was fun hearing from them, but you have to wonder how much truth there is to it all with no band support. I'd give it a 2 1/2 stars, only for rabid Muse fans."

Worst documentary ever

"I just became aware of Muse and I gobbled everything up including this dog. this quite possibly the worst documentary I have ever seen. This thing is not fit to become a coaster at my house. I purchased this at Fry's who I thought would only carry legitimate product."
