little c. Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I am curious to find out exactly what you all think it is about Muse's music that makes it so special. Personally, I feel that Matt Bellamy is a creative genious. I also think he has an incredible amount of respect for musicians who are well before his time. It comes through in his musical output. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I feel that Matt Bellamy is a creative genious. I also think he has an incredible amount of respect for musicians who are well before his time. It comes through in his musical output. What do you think? Things that make Muse special? That they don't sound like any other band, despite the comparisons to Radiohead and Queen Matt Bellamy's voice. That's my main reason for loving Muse. I never get tired of listening to that voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little c. Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 I completely agree about the voice. My son can't stand how Matt is such a deep breather between phrases of music, but I don't mind at all~ And, I think it's awesome that he imitates some style of others.

JimboMansonMB-1 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Since I'm a guitarist, I like the instrumental part of their music. While Matt's voice is certainly enviable (and loverly!) I love not just the guitar sounds--and just the guitars themselves, Matt plus Hugh Manson are a fantastic duo--but how well Dom, Chris, and Matt mesh as just three guys playing music, stuff like the keytar, and how they're always pushing the envelope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova14 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I totally agree with Matt's voice making Muse special. And also the fact that they mix great piano parts with awesome guitar parts. For example, Sunburn and New Born. I also like how they are versatile with their style of music, like how it changed from Showbiz and OoS to Absolution.

Mizutsu Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 definitely Matt's songwriting. he's written and composed amazing and beautiful things, and not only that, he executes them perfectly live too. his singing is haunting and moving and stunning, in my opinion. But I don't think Muse would have that sound without Dom and Chris of course. I'm still trying to find a better bassist than Chris, and Dom's drumming personality is brilliant.

RayFan9876 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I'm so in love with Muse because every track of their music is so... inspiring, so... they muse me. Matt's voice is the most emotional, pure, uniquely beautiful thing I've ever heard. Combine that with his creativity, expressional self in Muse's true-to-heart music which is strait from the heart and ultimately beautiful, and you've got a fitting band name for a truley Godly band. I said that right to the face of the most religious person in my school when they dissed Muse for the usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kh95 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Matt's voice is definitely one of the main reasons why I love Muse so much. And I love that they can play any genre of music and make it better than anything else! They are amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyracer Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 His voice, and even though his guitar plaing isn't that technical or all that difficult, I just really like it. I also enjoy seeing him play live, there's a certain kind of emotion when he performs that I don't see when other bands perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little c. Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 THese are really great responses. I have thought for years that Matts introspectiveness is what makes the music so great. Really pure and meaningful. The fact that he can take on the really deep topics of our time and execute them through music (lyrics and instrumentally) is great. I have to wonder if maybe he is one of those people of the world that history will remember, like Bach, Mozart, or even the Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarrieB Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Your signature is awesome. Although I wouldnt have Matt in a heart like that because im male even though he is a musical genious and a legend. Oh well that doesn't matter! Well not to a lot of straight males whose posts I've read! I was just thinking about this and it's so difficult to explain but I think maybe it's because Matt is inspired by classical music that he introduces a level of depth that is so appealing. So I think it's the creative rather than performance side ultimately that makes the music so good, though he does also have a lovely voice, puts emotion into the performance and can obviously play instruments well but then others can do that. I think being able to do all those things is unusual though. But there's something more that I find appealing and I think it's that juxtaposition of conflicting emotions that makes it great. It's like he can communicate something about the human condition in the music and you know what it is but you can't always explain it, or explain how it is conveyed as it's not always to do with the lyrics. There's a kind of amalgamation of darkness and light, tenderness and anger, craziness and sobriety, sorrow and humour and oh god it's making me feel all goosebumpy just to think of it, but yeah. I think it's that! LOL! Well no, I don't think it's just that, it's the way the music affects emotions, but yeah there is that unspoken thing.
