They played at the theatre across the street from where the VMAs were held, and were introduced byGerard Butler. On 28 July 2009 Zane Loweplayed a 32-second sample on BBC Radio 1ahead of its first play in full on 3 August 2009. While "United States of Eurasia" was initially thought by the Muse fan community to be the first single due for release, Muse revealed, via their Twitter page, that it would in fact be "Uprising". It was revealed in July 2009 that the band would perform at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. The video won "Best Special Effects" in the2010 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost "Best Rock Video" to Thirty Seconds to Mars' "Kings and Queens." This is said to pay homage to the climactic scene inGhostbusters, with one shot even mirroring the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man's introduction. At the end of the video, a group of teddy bears, similarly-looking to the teddy bears seen on the TVs, rise up from the ground and start destroying the miniature city, only to all fall down at the end of the video. Through the window of a store, the band at one point looks at TVs with teddy bears (with reptilian eyes and fangs) on the screens Matt smashes the window and TVs with his guitar. At times, they are also seen performing inside atrailer, which seems to be exploding. The music video, directed by American collective Hydra (Sam Stephens, John Hobbs and others), first aired on MTV2 on 17 September 2009. The band performs through a miniature city in the bed of an old, small truck, with a lit fuse following behind. However, "Uprising" can be argued to have more in common with the Black Sabbath song "Children of the Grave" which Blondie's "Call Me" may have been based on. Many journalists have mentioned that "Uprising" is similar to the theme music for Doctor Who, and the 1988 hit single Doctorin' the Tardis by The KLF. The song is often considered to be partly inspired by the hit Blondie song "Call Me", because of the thumping bass line and the occasional lead guitar riff (Blondie have in turn referenced this in their 2010 live performances by singing the lyrics of "Call Me" whilst covering the music of "Uprising"). "Uprising" is a synthrock and glam rocksong.
The structure of the song is simple for once. However it is delivered in a similar vein: Conspiracy, Apocalypse … He announces a “union”, speaks of “victory” that “they do not control.” Sound is still very heavy and dense, accompanied by mounted synthesizers. Matt Bellamy’s voice is more serious and academic than usual. The title "Uprising" was first revealed on 3 July 2009, when the album's track listing was released sporadically on the band's Twitterpage the song was unveiled as the opening track of the album, preceding the title track "Resistance". In a pre-release review, French media source JudeBox described the song as follows: It was certified silver in the United Kingdom, gold in four countries, platinum in two countries, and double-platinum in the United States The song was written by band member Matthew Bellamy, produced by the band themselves, and mixed by Mark 'Spike' Stent. "Uprising" had a very positive commercial performance, peaking within the top ten in seven countries. It was released as the lead single from the band's fifth studio album, The Resistance, on 7 September 2009. "Uprising" is a song by the English rock bandMuse.
