I really have no clue what's going on. What's up with these people that they turn down so many requests for one specific band? They don't even care to tell why. Are they trolling? It is obvious that adding more Muse would cause a drastic increase in income. They seem quite annoyed by the requests to, which I personally find quite frustrating. They are annoyed by requests that they don't even care to tell why they ignore. Even this huge thread with tons of support is being completely ignored and has been for a long time. Heh, they say that ignorance is bliss...

I don't follow the Grammies, so I don't know or care how many it won and how many previous albums didn't. Besides, it was probably more like an honorary award to acknowledge years of the band being shunned. I wouldn't look too deeply into it.
Perhaps I should've just stuck to experimental and not described it as "less mainstream" (in hindsight, "unconventional" is a more fitting word). I agree Undisclosed Desires is very mainstream, but I couldn't picture a pack of braindead chavs listening to Exogenesis Symphony or United States of Eurasia.

They've told us that Muse is 11th or 12th in terms of requesting. I don't see you getting up in arms over the other 10/11 artists that are being treated more 'unfairly'. On top of that, requests don't mean ****. A ton of requests doesn't guarantee an in, a lack of requests doesn't get you ignored.
Can you name ONE time where they've said directly why they're not working with an artist, or are you going to continue feeling entitled and special?They don't even care to tell why.

"Actually, last time we pulled the stats from the song request page on RockBand.com Muse was just outside of the top ten most requested bands.
One of the things that we were trying to highlight with the list of most downloaded artists is that the RB community is HUGE and what the forums ask for isn’t always the same as what people at events ask for which isn’t always what people download, etc.
There’s a lot of smaller pieces making up the larger community and we’re making an effort to talk more candidly about some of that information that will help everyone get a better look at the big picture. Glad folks are so interested in this info!"

To me, that reads like a thinly veiled way of saying:
"Muse aren't a popular band that is widely known by name alone, so we're not going to work on licensing them, even though there are people who really want to play their music in our game."
I swear, what's the point of coming here anymore? HMX doesn't care, there's high levels of animosity on the forums towards Muse and the people who want Muse, and it's just a joke to everyone.
I think I'm coming to end of my patience. I'm tired of waiting and being disappointed.
I think I'm just going to leave the forums behind me...
May 20th, 2012: 4 long years since HMX released "Hysteria" by Muse. The wait for more Muse DLC has to end at some point, right?
Well I think people have made it a joke, because we let it become one. We kept asking, and asking, to the point where it got ridiculous. HMX definitely knows that the fans want Muse, and they would be a profitable band, Muse has gone a long way from their Showbiz days.. I'm assuming there is some kind of hiccup in the licensing, whether or not that's from Guitar Hero it doesn't really matter.
We likely won't see any Muse for a long time, I've already come to terms with that. But that doesn't mean you can't be excited about all the other great music coming out weekly, and still hang around the forums. If hope for Muse is the only reason you're here, and the only reason you still play Rock Band then yeah I would've stopped playing and coming here long ago.
Just don't let it get to you, stop thinking about it!
