    Cringy political lyrics might be just what's wanted: here's a segment from Franz Ferdinand's song: 'Those pussy grabbing fingers won’t let go of me now He’s a demagogue He’d like to punch in your face He's a demagogue' I can easily imagine Matt writing something like this.

    Aargh Yes. we were told to keep our eyes peeled. That doesn't suggest a nice slow reveal of a gig/gigs

    I imagine they'd have got pretty fired up supporting U2 on the 360 tour back in 2011-12 They've added catwalks. However I must say your post is a bit more interesting than chat about doughnuts. It had a nice picture and I had a little outing into Google Translate

    Ha. Dream on.

    I sometimes wonder if Boring Roadie is actually Matt having a laugh
  6. denise3112
    Yeah, about time they did another one of those, for sure! Matt played the organ up in the gods I remember, Megalomania I think it was.

    QOTSA cover would be awesome. I'd like a classic heavy number, like A Song for the Dead, or You Think I ain't Worth A Dollar. Guess Matt wouldn't do the screaming though

    you could put the Voodoo Child jam in to get a V. Would follow on fine from US

    Yes. Matt's voice shows signs of wear; and he's not fit. We've been really lucky in the UK with the number of gigs on offer. OK, age 38 seems young compared with 70, but it's still middle-aged, not young. They have family lives and, presumably, money in the bank. Can't see why they'd want to go on more gruelling tours, stripped back stage or not. I'd rather see them spend their time and effort on some high quality song-writing, not thrashing themselves on the road.

    Oh that amount of money is a huge deal to me, I haven't got it, wish I did! And if I did have it I wouldn't waste it on a guitar, I'd get the roof of my house fixed, amongst other things! Yeah I was joking with you, I remember the comments you made about your experience/expense of the gigs you went to.

    Was surprised anyone would (could) pay that, is all; it's a free country for people to spend what they want obviously. But 'supporting the cause' of the charity attaches to the donation of the guitar (either promotional or altruistic) by Muse, rather than to the person who bid for it. It's likely she bought it because she wanted it imho. And as you say, why not. Yes. And there are some cringeworthy simple lyrics in the last album (eg Your ass belongs to me). Weirdly though, I was disappointed not to be able to bellow 'And your belly is all yellow' because they didn't play Defector in any of the gigs I went to. I sing that line out v loud at home, it's so ridiculous :$
  15. denise3112
    Ok. So are you saying £50,000 is ok then for Matt's guitar? Bec I wouldn't pay it even it came with Matt's knob attached And who's Christina?
  16. denise3112
    On a different note a fan has paid £50,000 for one of Matt's smashed guitars from the last night they played at the O2. (Drones Tour so on topic) http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/2016-09-07/smashed-and-signed-muse-guitar-raises-50k-for-charity/ The fan is called Christina. What I want to know is, is she on here? Not you is it SerpentSatellite? :LOL:
  17. denise3112
    yes
  18. denise3112
    hahaha, for sure! Got to give you that one
  19. denise3112
    Mixing personal and political themes is a time-honored creative approach. Shakespeare (et al) did it...
  20. denise3112
    Yeah it's off topic (although I didn't start it tbf). But the Drones Tour is over. Ha
  21. denise3112
    Yes, got a lot of sympathy for this view (Althusser et al) Well, yes, people like Bono, Sting, and Saint Geldof come to mind. I don't like them for sure because they are holier than thou and hit you over the head with it. I don't feel like that about Muse. They are not preachy. I like singing along about the 'fat cats' and with the revolutionary lyrics of Assassin etc. I don't plan on assassinating anyone but I quite like the idea... Matt doesn't make soapbox speeches. I'm glad he didn't stick his oar in about Brexit at Glasto. He's well-read and curious about the world. That's genuine imo. He uses that in his song-writing. I don't care that he has become wealthy and sings about Drones. They're just songs. And more interesting than endless songs about lurve-gone-wrong-yawn-yawn (plus/minus a dollop of misogyny) which is staple fare of most (rock) bands.

    Interesting to me, Mr. Smartypants :p The Radiohead blah blah is well known but I hadn't seen that video before. What I like is that they were such babies then, Matt thought of Radiohead as 'older', like 30, and that Muse was therefore appealing to a younger market. Yeah, what he said might falter from a more jaded perspective, esp as his comments are defensive, but tbf, '30' seems old when you're what, say, 21. And it had a delightful touch of miaow miaow cattiness about it.
  23. denise3112
    Perhaps because you haven't actually deigned to straight-up make your point.
  24. denise3112
    Only they know what they believe. It's possible to have a political conscience and to be wealthy.
  25. denise3112
    Aah yes. Those posts rest on the tension between the traditional anti-authoritarian/political artistic message (esp in Rock musics) and the rich artist who enjoys the spoils of capitalism. Who out of us would be any different in MB's shoes?
