Muse have always operated on a larger scale than most rock bands. And the Devon trio's combination of shamlessly overblown rock theatrics and extravagant conspiracy theories have left many scratching their heads. Onstage they've been compared to 'Eddie Van Halen trying to play Beethoven with his left foot on a sitar'.
