Muse Celebrate Halloween in Vegas

British rockers Muse took to the Double Down Stage on the final evening of Vegoose with a slightly scaled-down version of the production they brought to Lollapalooza earlier this past summer. The difference is that whereas they were headliners at that festival, here they had the unenviable task of opening for Rage Against the Machine -- although clearly it was a position the band was honored to accept. Drummer Dominic Howard paused the mostly banter-less set to ask the audience, "Who's psyched to see Rage Against the Machine tonight? I am! We are! As much as all of you!" before tearing into the song 'Invincible.'

Muse was one of the bands at Vegoose who took advantage of the Halloween theme, launching giant balloons full of confetti into an audience filled with individuals wearing ghoulish make-up and groups of friends clad in matching outfits, ranging from cheerleading squads to celebrity impersonations. "Happy Halloween, Vegoose," said Howard, addressing the crowd. "I've seen some pretty good costumes out there." He came onstage dressed as Spiderman, while his two bandmates were dressed, convincingly, as themselves.
