Morgan Nicholls should be an official fourth person in Muse! Discuss

[DownAndOut]

I voted "no", but he should be given more acknowledgement on stage. I like what Genesis did when Steve Hackett left and they became a threesome in the studio. Chester Thompson and Daryl Stuermer were never considered as full time members of the band, but they were always introduced on stage when the band played live and weren't hidden away at the back of the stage. Well actually, Chester was hidden away behind his drum kit.

I was kinda hoping Morgan would be allowed to give a wave at the end of the gigs but well, things can't always be the way we want them to. Still a no

[L.]

he is still the only i know who had a whole room doing a massive chant of his name at a muse gig!

Took the poor man a week to recover from that

[Arcade]

Na... As sad as this might sound...

A lot of people in certain groups are left in the back and never spoken of.

That's how the industry works.

 

+1 to No.. ..have to agree, and as good as he is, Muse was always a threeman band and thats how i see them.

 

Session players sometimes tour with multiple bands at once and are quite happy with it getting media exposure and well paid sometimes, and if they wanted the limelight there are ways of making it to the big time.. ultimately its a Dom, Matt and Chris decision.

 

Dom if you're after a drum technician msg me !! :LOL:

[Zaphod Chizzlebrox]

Old thread is old.

 

Anyway, Morgan should be kicked out of touring completely, then Muse might become better on stage. It's only since he's been involved that Muse have gone downhill on tours, so the cause is obvious. I vote get rid of Morgan and go back to Muse being a touring three-piece suite!

[Livs]

As much as i love Morgan, and respect everything he does, Muse started as a three piece and they are solid like that- i know morgan makes that sound even greater live, but it just wouldnt be the muse as we know it :/

[dekza]

No way.

A lot of professional bands have many backup musicians...Placebo have got like five, U2 have one hidden "Morgan" under the stage, Green Day have a guitarist, Kasabian have a guitarist.

 

The band creates the music, Morgan just does what they tell him to do.

Morgan has no say in the band. And he shouldn't because he isn't with them from the beginning and hasn't gone through all the band has.

so much morgan love that day!

I'd rather be a Morgan at Placebo, they don't hide their Morgans in a dark corner!

Morgan Nicholls should be an official fourth person in Muse!

 

no thanks.

[ilsiux]

mm yeah.. I don't think so.. he wasn't with them from the beginning..

 

although he shouldn't be so hidden ! I was watching a rerun of the SNL show, and it was funny how they made close ups of Morgan !

[Luigi.]

Even though Morgan is a cool guy,he shouldn't be added to Muse.

[dekza]

He's not that hidden I think. People see him but the main guys in the spotlight have to be the three. For example U2 have a guy who is hidden under the stage and no one knows him. No one knows his name or anything. That's quite strange

[Hat]

"Muse make such a big sound for a 3-piece band", well yeah, that's because they aren't a 3-piece band.

 

Most of the comments I have seen here has been about keeping it as it is because they like the thought of a 3-piece band with "such a massive sound". Ehm...yeah, I'm not even gonna comment on that.

[CarrieB]

I think if Morgan really wanted to become a full-time member of the band it would be up to him to put that over. I can't see Muse being so arrogant as to dismiss his wishes, as they are really lovely guys, so I reckon Morgan and Muse are happy with things as they are.

[Tofu]

Uh, yeah. I like Morgan, and it's not like no one knows he exists. Just that, I feel that if he's gonna be an "official" member of Muse he'd have input on the actual creative process, too. Until then I consider him a part of Muse's live show, but not really at the core. If you know what I mean.

[coralucky]

No, not at all!

I appreciate Morgan. I really do. But he's just doing he's job. come on! Muse are Muse, and just Muse, in my opinion. And Morgan's awesome, but he's not a Muse member. He also helps other bands... and he's also helping Muse; that's it!

There's no doubt in my opinion! how could you even think of that?

[Hat]

That doesn't even make sense.

 

Morgan is a part of the live band Muse, fact.

[Olly.]

if morgan wasnt there you wouldnt have exogenesis or new born intro

[Hat]

if morgan wasnt there you wouldnt have exogenesis or new born intro

Or any of the songs on The Resistance.

[Olly.]

just thinking about it, yeah you're right... in that case I want morgan to leave so they never play any of the resistance songs again

[Shwissky]

And all of the songs on BHaR.

[Hat]

Nah, there are a number of songs on that album that could be done without Morgan.

[Interzone]

Nah, there are a number of songs on that album that could be done without Morgan.

 

Could be, if Bellamy wasn't so lazy, and didn't like prancing about with a keytar so much.
