What’s the story behind Muse’s record dispute where they left a record because they wanted to Remove Matt’s falsetto?

@Don’t  
That was when Muse released Origin of Symmetry in 2001. It was released in June 2001 in Britain and Maverick Records was originally set to distribute it in the US, as they had previously done with Muse’s debut album Showbiz; however, Maverick Records apparently demanded that Matt re-record the album’s vocals because it had too much falsetto, so Muse left Maverick Records and the album wasn’t released in the US until 2005.
 
Kind of stupid, since Matt’s falsetto is one of the things he’s famous for.

@TheHappySpaceman  
That sounds pretty dumb

Watching Todd’s newest review, glad to know I wasn’t the first to draw the comparison between the song and Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood since both are so similar. I’m also surprised Todd didn’t bring up the other problem with the song and it was the loud production and processed vocals.

Cool The Engines by Boston is Danger Zone, but in space.

I AM AN ANGEL WITH A SHOTGUN

The Touch by Stan Bush makes me feel like I’m running cross country all pumped with a laser gun shooting it at the sky

@Myoozik  
Heck yeah

Sometimes I think about the fact that Dexter Holland (lead of The Offspring) helped develop the current treatment for HIV, and it amazes me.
 
Who said singers never amount to anything?

Ever had a song that you either weren’t to fond of or disliked at first, but after a few listens, grew to like/love it?

@LeoNero  
A lot of songs…and bands too.

@LeoNero  
Got a few minutes?

@Myoozik  
Plenty

@LeoNero  
Oh I was being rhetorical but there are a lot that come to mind.
 
One would be Everybody Talks by Neon Trees.

@Myoozik  
One of mine would be November Rain.

Big Poppa

@Zincy  
Given how much I like punk, I know I’d probably like The Offspring if I gave them a chance but I associate them too much with a certain individual I really didn’t get along with.
 
@LeoNero  
I was actually thinking the other day about Downtown Train by Tom Waits. I used to think it just seemed like a generic, radio-friendly song howled by a voice more suited to the blues or piano ballads I’m used to from Tom Waits. Yet the other day, it was stuck in my head and it got me thinking, “you know, that song’s a lot better than I gave it credit for.”

The singer of my favorite Filipino metal band Slapshock named Jamir Garcia just committed suicide…
 
2020 has struck a special part of my life once again…
 
Link

The reason he committed suicide is that because he was generally accused by the band members of stealing money from their band which lead up to their breakup earlier this August for financial reasons mainly due to the pandemic. Also we’ve learned that he has been battling depression since childhood which prettily sums up that he’s like our own version of Chester Bennington here in Philippines.
 
He left his wife and his two children. So deep compassionate condolences for his family and friends. RIP

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
I’m sorry to hear that. It’s always a shame when a singer commits suicide for any reason like battling depression.

@Myoozik  
What I hate about social media is they’ve actually leaked a photo of his actual dead body and it has been spread throughout publicly. I actually seen it and it’s very horrific.
 
This is a massive disrespect to him and his family so much.

@Count Adramélekh Sear  
Fuck, that’s horrible.

Jamir Garcia and Chester Bennington.
 
They met, they became best friends.
 
They met again for the final time today.
 
…Someplace else we don’t even know yet.
