Yeah! Usually the first part of any film is the best:happy:
yeaah, a little bit:D But I don´t know if I want to see it again:D My friend (who watched it with me) had really weird dreams after that.
Ooou! Whoo???
I´m glad he´s stopped.
To compound matters, Wolstenholme became “a raging alcoholic”. He reveals this to me, unbidden and unprompted, at the end of our first interview, in the band’s opulent hotel in Desert Springs, a few miles from the Coachella Festival site. “I was worse on tour in the early days. But at home it got to a point where I realised I didn’t have to stay sober ’cause I didn’t have a gig to do. So it was just a licence to drink all the time. I was waking up in the morning and filling up a pint glass half full of whatever spirit I had in the house and then topping it up with squash so no one knew what I was drinking,” he confesses.
He’d follow this “breakfast” with a chaser of “10 to 15 pints during the day, even when I was at home. Then in the evening I’d go on to wine: two bottles of wine. Then I’d normally finish the day as I started it: take the pint glass up to bed, drink half, so there was always something by the bedside for me in the morning, ha ha,” he laughs, nervously.
Wolstenholme repeats this account of the depths of his addiction, almost word for word, when we speak again backstage at the Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City. His eagerness to tell all is a mark of the bluff amiability of the sturdy, tattooed bass player (he’s a good foot taller than the compact Bellamy and Howard), and of how Muse barely do any interviews these days; they don’t need to, and their heavyweight US management company, Q Prime (also shepherds to Red Hot Chili Peppers and Metallica), forms a ridiculously protective phalanx around them. After eight months on tour he’s perhaps starved of outside conversation. And, I suspect, Wolstenholme’s chattiness is also an aspect of the painful rehab/therapy process that he initiated midway through the making of The Resistance.
“I was pretty bad. But I had a realisation one day: my dad died when he was 40 from alcoholism. And I was well on the way to that. I was in such a bad way it’s questionable whether I’d be alive now.” Wolstenholme’s therapist told him that his drinking “was my way of dealing with any kind of negativity whatsoever in my life”. As he detoxed, “I had a good week of no sleeping, shaking, feeling like I was gonna pass out. It was pretty horrible. But luckily I had five months before going on tour to get all that out of my system.
“I felt like I was really getting somewhere with it,” Wolstenholme continues, clutching an iced coffee (“My new drug”), his fingernails bitten to the quick. “Then we started touring and it was like giving up all over again. I had to have the minibar in my hotel room cleared. I got my own tour bus so I didn’t have to be around [the band]. I didn’t want to be one of those killjoys. It’s my problem; it’s not fair to drag everybody else into it.” He says he still finds it difficult. “There is a lot of partying on tour. You feel a bit left out sometimes. You can’t join in. But you have to think about the more important things in life, like your family, your kids
Yeah me too:( but you know, it´s their lives, and they can do what they want. But I don´t want that:supersad:
Aaargh! How much I hate him!!! and also affected Miley Cyrus:mad:

It´s incredible live...as every song they played. I enjoyed every single minute they were on the stage. Mum said she never seen me that happy.I want some older songs, too...but it looks like our boys are lazy to re-learn it:chuckle:

Oh, but it´s always better than nothing:happy:
It´s OK, but I´d like to buy a new one! But i think guitar will be better choice:) And then mom will be happy that I won´t be on PC so often:D and I´ll learn something new...fuuu hard choosing:facepalm:
naaaw, have you read about Matt is engaged?
I mean I´m happy for him, but...aaah
-
Yeah...she is 17, but she was 16 at that moment. But next time I hope she´ll be able to go with me;)
Oooh:eek: I think that was the one reason why they didn´t let her go. You never know what crowd will be there.
I was with mum too. First I thought: "aaah, that´ll be really funny with my mum:rolleyes:" but I was suprised - we really had a great time:D Actually she was only one who could go to the fest with me...
It´s much easier to write in foreign language than speak in it:p I learn to speak Russian, but I fail:facepalm: It´s not hard, but...I don´t know.
aaw really???
Yeah!!! Christmas is good time for business (as Matt said)
Wonder if there will be that new DVD which they were talking about...with some gigs, interviews and so on....NME special??? this:
It was a 100-pages special issue dedicated to Muse. Old interviews, never seen pictures, and something you maybe didn´t know about the band:happy: I haven´t read whole mag yet:happy:
Yeaaah!!! Calendar...I want one too. But they could choise better pics to it:ninja:
I really should start to save some money to upcoming gigs (hope there will be some) I want to go to more concerts than one in year:(
yep, I´ve seen The Big Pink, Panic at the disco and some other Polish bands:happy:

But it´s well done film, little complicated but good and funny:happy: I have all three parts on DVD:p
I don´t like Mr. & Mrs.Smith very much:erm: He has much better films...or not?
Yeaah, his wife must be very lucky woman!
You don´t need to say that...I know! Aaaaw I love them so much:supersad:
I voted for them more then twice every day...but you know, these awards when you can vote as many times as you want:noey: You can´t be suprised then Bieber won the best male:facepalm: And the other thing - it´s European music awards, so why US bands were nominated? I really don´t understand that:noey:
-
Yees!!! Actually I´ve had only one ride like this so far. Need to get some money for next gigs!
Wooo, okaay:happy: But it´ll be quite expensive...you know plane, tickets and some hotel as well. Not cheap things:noey:

Woooh!!! But I´m not very excited...I´d rather go to see Due Date again:chuckle:
Yeah, I´m sure he does. But sometimes he takes whole family to gigs. I heard they were in Poland with him.
Wooo! I don´t know him actually, but nevermind:p
Ooooh, if I´d meet Matt...oh god:$ That would be so amazing! But it´s much easier to you, when you speak English...I would need a dictionary:D And Matt speaks very fast so it´s kinda hard to understand him sometimes:happy:
Yeah!
