Muse forced MTV Europe off air last night (June 5) with their new stage show.

The band unveiled a giant UFO as part of their new set while playing at Germany's Rock AM Ring festival, however the prop was so big, it blocked the channel's signal from the event.

A member of the band's team told NME that Muse's UFO stopped MTV from broadcasting Slayer's performance live.

The band are now set to give the signal-interrupting UFO its UK debut at this year's Glastonbury festival, where Muse are headlining the Pyramid Stage on June 26.

Obviously Muse aren't packing much punch in the trouser department (that's the clean edit right there).

They may have small cocks but they make great music and never fail to impress their audience.I am really looking forward to seeing them Wembley stadium!

Why all the talk about cocks........I dont get it......They are fast becoming the biggest live band in the world.......now......I would gladly have a small cock and balls the size of Cheese Puffs, to do what they do.......

Enjoy the gig. Hopefully the gigantic papier mache UFO wobbling around over your head won't be too much of a distraction.

It's far better than what Slayer could do!Muse go that bit further to put on an amazing show for their fans. It's not just about the recordings with them. And have you seen this UFO? It's freaking immense. With Muse it's more than a gig. Its a show. And tbh Slayer can't compare :L
