    Matt, 2006-2007 he said something along the lines of, "We wanted to make a bomb-tastic, silly over the top , track, We never thought it would become this huge. Now people are singing the instrument parts when we play live."

      in all honesty this is true, but this is also relevant for all periods of human history, what ends up happening is, usually, a legendary soldier/strategist will take advantage of the weakened state to make a military dictatorship that falls once he dies, or you get a roman empire situation, where you get the great REVSTITUTOR ORBIS, or restorer of the world, Marcus Aurelian who will keep your basically dead civilization surviving for another 200 years, 800 if you count the Byzantines. If your talking specifically for America though, usually armed revolution that forces people to make changes or else lose what they have, in this case our technocratic corporatocracy of a democracy, and if you want that gone you'll have to pull an armed revolution, though this has been the same throughout American history, though in this case instead of 'Robber barons take control of us for a hundred years' it 'companies through having far to much money to be reasonable, allowed themselves to change a law to the point where now they can bribe the governent to do things they want, and call it lobbying instead of bribery'

    Matt Bellamy wrote this song in part as a tribute to his father, who was a member of The Tornadoes and their 1962 mega-hit “Telstar,” which commemorated the first successful active communications satellite. You can hear the instrumentals at the beginning and hear their resemblance to the satellite-in-space sound that was a staple of “Telstar.” So much of this was a nod to the elder Bellamy’s hit.

    This is one of the most creative music videos I've ever seen. The cheesy spaghetti western theme, with a few retro fantasy tropes thrown in, is pure genius. Did the band watch the video first then write the song around it? They absolutely nailed it. Whoever is responsible, needs a raise.

    This was the Guitar Hero song that made me say to myself "Why am I wasting my time and effort to learn a sequence of button presses to fake play a song when I'm better off picking up my guitar or bass and learning the actual damned song." So much fun to play the bassline to this and so many other Muse songs. Whatever instrument you play, or always wanted to play, pick one up and learn how to play it. If you think listening to your favorite songs is cathartic, practicing your ass off and then finally nailing one of your favorite songs is absolutely intense.

That's a cleverly, though thinly-veiled, reference to the Cybermen. It could be a Power Ranger suit sprayed in chrome with a Cylon helmet, too.
      The scantily clad women are a Star Trek TOS reference.

It is so nice to just enjoy the comical combat and scenes like this video portrays. You rarely see pieces of film where combat is done in a comical and enjoyable way. 10/10.

    Muse is one of those bands you should listen to when depressive situations fulfill your early morning and tears become unstoppable. It's incredible how their music can save your own life.

    Video makes me think of one of my all time favorite television shows, "Firefly" but with the space/ cowboy theme cranked up to FULL spaghetti western. Just great!

      Reminds me of the old Beastie Boys Sabotage video. Awesomeness in video form.
      On a totally different note their Sing For Absolution video is also top notch- Down that same road but in a more fun form is the World Hold On from Bob Sinclair.

    Lyrics
    [Instrumental Intro with Vocalizations]
    Come ride with me
    Through the veins of history
    I'll show you a god
    Who falls asleep on the job
    And how can we win
    When fools can be kings?
    Don't waste your time
    Or time will waste you
    No one's gonna
    Take me alive
    The time has come
    To make things right
    You and I must
    Fight for our rights
    You and I must
    Fight to survive
    No one's gonna
    Take me alive
    The time has come
    To make things right
    You and I must
    Fight for our rights
    You and I must
    Fight to survive
    No one's gonna
    Take me alive
    The time has come
    To make things right
    You and I must
    Fight for our rights
    You and I must
    Fight to survive
