Which Band Did Beck Say Called for 'Revolution' at Last Night's Grammys?

"[I]t starts with the video screens in the back with the Gadsden flag..."

Glenn Beck has been an admitted fan of the British band Muse for the last year. In fact, the group's song "Uprising" was the inspiration for Beck's 2010 radio show theme song. So it might come as a surprise that Beck opened his radio show on Monday warning that the group's performance of "Uprising" at last night's Grammy Awards was "a call for revolution" -- and not a good one.

“The lyrics of this song are so unbelievably powerful and they are ‑‑ they are not going to degrade us anymore, they’re not going to ‑‑ they’re not going to shape us or anything else. It’s us,” Beck gushed initially. “We have the power."

But while the group opened up their performance using one the Tea Party's favorite images -- the Gadsden flag -- that didn't last long. The flag was eventually replaced by a picture of British rioters attacking Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, a sign Beck said shows what the group is really advocating.

“At the end of this it shows Camilla and Prince Charles in the back of their Rolls Royce where they are trying to beat them and kill them in the streets. And it shows flames coming up in the video screens," Beck said, before concluding, "you have basically a call for revolution by this group.”

In the end, he said, the Tea Party's call for change is much different than calls for revolution across the world:

There are those that are calling for revolution and they are everywhere, and they are the Muslim extremists, they are the communist revolutionaries, they are the anarchists, and then you have the Tea Party movement. The Tea Party movement is not calling for revolution. The Tea Party movement is calling for a restoration.
