Which XFM gig is the First Performance referring to? The earliest performance I know of is Paradiso 2001 on April the 12th of April. It seems a little unusual that there would be a radio broadcast of the song over 2 months before the album was released ... Could someone clarify please?

Foo Fighters

Does anyone know if Muse has stated whether or not this song is at all influenced by Foo Fighters? The drop A riff and slow mid-section is reminiscent of "Stacked Actors" (released in 1999), and the time frame fits, as Muse would have been touring with them around the time the song was written. --Dyingatheist 21:23, 20 September 2010 (BST)

Minor detail about recording

It says that the DeLorean was thought to have been used to record Citizen Erased, but Matt bought the 7-string before the Delorean. Any ideas? --PhiLam64 7:26 PM, 8 May 2011 (PST)

The solo has fuzz factory squealing at multiple points, and there's been a picture or two sourced of the Delorean with a bass string as his 6th string, but it's been known that Matt like fatty low E's. And the Delorean could have been used just for the solo, as there's no low A's during the solo. - nascarbean_97
