Yikes! The good news…it doesn't look like there will be a DC/Baltimore date…
MUSE to open for My Chemical Romance
"According to the band's management, additional dates will be announced in the coming weeks â?? and the next batch will feature openers Muse."
I'm guessing the DC date will be there. I'd probably go - if I can watch from a safe distance.

Happily, I don't think I've ever heard either of these bands.
Never heard Muse, but I have heard My Chemical Romance and will admit that they do seem to be a significant step above their fall out boy type contemporaries.
from MCR website:
"My Chemical Romance have just announced a full-scale headlining US tour in February and March. Rise Against will be the opening act on all of these dates. Stay tuned for more dates coming with Muse as the opener!"
presently, announced N. Am. dates run 2/22 thru 3/16 with no room to add new dates before taking off for euroland. so those "more dates" with muse won't be until mid-april at the earliest.
it's been a while since i've been more excited about an opener than the main act. muse are brillant. a great mix of prog rawk, classical and electronica. should appeal to radiohead fans (then again, if you like radiohead you're probably already aware of muse…). looks like these shows are going down in large arenas, so expect any local date to be at Verizon :-/

I've seen Muse once and they were quite entertaining….Oh wait, maybe it was Sonick jumping up and down that was the entertaining part. ;)
No, all those people at the Springfield Metro in their Caps jerseys scare me, so I go home and into hiding at the end of the day. :p

Muse RAWKS. And this news sucks.
Oh yes. Now I remember Muse. I saw a video for a song called "Knights of Cydonia."
That song was horrible. Is all their stuff that bad?

seriously, i rarely talk shit about bands on here because we've got folks like rhett to take care of that, but muse has got to be one of the worst bands i've ever heard.
uhh… this is so ass backwards it isn't even funny.

they have very large sounding rock. i think Queen would sound like this if they were still around and progressing with the times.
they put on a great show too!
but to rhett: you wouldnt like any of their stuff.

I'm blown away by this, and i truly hope they come to DC because i've never seen Muse.
It does seem to be a new trend…UK-NME-band opens for US-pop-punk-emo-band. A few years ago Ash opened for Taking Back Sunday (I think?). You just had Bloc Party with Panic at the Disco, and now this. I can't wait until we see "Live at Verizon Center, Good Charlotte with special guests Babyshambles"
(I too have to admit that MCR is a step ahead of the rest of the pop-punk-emo crowd.)

Muse puts on one hell of a show. I'm not the biggest fan of their latest album though. and, I hate My Chemical Romance. This is bad news.
