Gig Review: O2 World, Berlin, Germany – ‘Hamburger Abendblatt’
“Muse call the O2 World to revolution”
Friday, 30. October 2009 13:54 (CET) – Von Michael Hufnagel
Recently a secret gig at the Berlin Admiralspalast, now officially at the O2 World: with their “The Resistance”-tour, the brit-rock band Muse showed that their megalomania has no limits. But the audience don’t always follows.
Since the 70’s there’s an inofficial agreement of restraining in rock-music. The bad examples of bands like Genesis, Yes or Emerson Lake & Palmer made a lasting impression, bombast and fancifull structures were tabu from that time. Many younger musicians avoided therefore, for reasons of credibility, to brag with similar effects. Only Muse don’t agree with this at all, especially not with their “The Resistance”-tour, which took place in the not-sold-out O2 World.
