According to his new book, Serj Tankian from System of a Down almost signed Muse to his own record label back in 2003. He'd been a fan of theirs since the OOS days, having shared festival bills with Muse in Europe, and he really loved Absolution when it came out and noticed that Maverick hadn't even released it in the US, and wanted to try and buy Muse out from Maverick's control. Maverick asked for half a million dollars to transfer Muse (which is something I fucking HATE about labels and deals: they refuse to release your work and also won't let you leave, and this is still happening), which Serj couldn't cough up on his own, so he tried to convince Sony, who signed SOAD, to sign Muse instead. Sony hemmed and hawed and said they wanted to wait to hear Muse's next release before squaring up the money, but by the next year, all of Maverick's artist had been bought out by various record labels, including Warner Bros. proper, who picked up Muse and finally released Absolution, a year late in the US (2004, which I realised later is why you see some sources list its release date as 2004. The US release date). Interestingly enough to me, Maverick was a Warner subsidiary to begin with.

Serj regrets losing out on signing Muse, not so much from a financial standpoint, but because they were a cool band he liked, but I wonder how things may have panned out for Muse had they stayed indie for another few years? I imagine Warner worked out quite well for them: they sold out their first US tour in a long time in the autumn of 2004, headlined Glastonbury, were invited to play a Live 8 show, and of course, when Black Holes and Revelations came out in 2006 (Sony's loss), they exploded all over the alternative 'mainstream'. It doesn't seem like they've had much, if any, creative interference from Warner either, except maybe them suggesting the greatest hits thing that instigated Muse writing Will Of The People instead. Overall, fairly harmonious.

Things turned out alright for them!

God I can't get over how perfectly lacy by olivia rodrigo suits jiang cheng and wei wuxian so well? It literally drives me insane, the envy, the vague obsession, the homoroticism. I'd say the first chorus and second verse suit them most but the whole song works so well. Like jiang cheng singing the song and wei wuxian is lacy

Just God I don't know how to word it, the quiet caring, the obsession God that's all jiang cheng, and the slight sarcastic tone of "well, aren't you the greatest thing to ever exist" ain't that mummy and daddy issues jiang cheng projecting on wei wuxian just a teeny wee bit as a treat for me.

Just God, this song, as a whole, is for them.

#ri fandom posting #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #mdzs #god this is me in my normie music era im sorry guys #why olivia rodrigo making chengxian coded songs huh? #chengxian #speaking of the devil almoat forgot tk tag #my worst fear is that i kind of interpreted jc and wwxs vibes wrong but also whose gonna stop me? #the girlies who get it get it #okay thing goes hard so like idk if youre living under a rock like i do go give it a listen #the oooohs/ahhhs bridge kinda ruins it tho tbh #why is that so loud for no reason and why so long ugh *eyeroll*
