"We were often projecting movies onto a big screen, either in the control room or on the wall in the studio," Howard says, "just for a bit of atmosphere. The Simulation Theory World Tour is named for Muse's latest album, whose synth-heavy sound was inspired in part by the movies they screened while recording. But it’s still gonna be a big rock show."
