Muse @Giants Stadium, Sept. 24th

Muse were an awesome way to start up the crowd waiting for U2. They are full of energy and play the kind of music that fills a stadium quite nicely, unlike the last time I saw U2 and the snoozerville Keane opened. Lead singer Matthew Bellamy is a talented singer and musician. I was quite impressed by his piano playing, as well as by his posturing with guitar in hand. Critics might complain they're too derivative of my favorites, Radiohead, with a little Queen tossed in, but for a full 45 minutes, I was fully entertained. I definitely was reminded of some of my favorite Guitar Hero moments.
