Muse in Spanish Rolling Stone and Italian Vanity Fair

[Livs]

LONG POST ALERT... PART 1

 

 

Spanish Rolling Stone

I have a feeling they were all a bit pissed off...especially Dom.

 

The Law of Muse

 

How has a group that recorded albums influenced by the laws of thermodynamics managed to become the largest and most spectacular of the decade? In a three-way conversation with Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme we discover the trio’s reasons for imposing its criteria on their fashion(?), to their own band history, to the fact that their leader has opened his doors to the paparazzi.

 

By Xavi Sancho

 

In the summer of 1994, in the English town of Teignmouth, a battle of the bands was held. One group that would perform in that contest was Rocket Baby Dolls, a trio of Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard, who presented an image between glam and gothic. A group of friends did their makeup and even helped them in the songwriting duties. They were to be the only combo in the contest to perform their own songs. Among racks, the group that later would be called Muse and dominate the global rock scene during the first decade of the century, stunned their rivals. Although at that time the UK had already been taken by the britpop, the new-old sound didn’t seem to ever come to Teignmouth, where all bands competing for the prize seemed still trapped in the air pop funk that swept during the previous decade. Before jumping on stage, they made a promise to themselves to never enter the realm of funk. They won the contest.

 

Almost 20 years later, Matt, Chris and Dominic are on the top floor of Shoreditch Club, a private club located in East London which sublimates before elites were guardians of the essence and who have now begun an obsession with being so modern that it is beyond normal.

 

 

Chris is on the terrace, Matt in the greenhouse and Dominic at the bar. Separately, each caters to the press. They are presenting The 2nd Law, their sixth studio album, the one they might prefer to remember as the one that finally established ‘electronic’ as the definitive sound of Muse, the one that introduced dubstep into their repertoire, the one which, in the end, contains Survival, the theme composed for the 2012 London Olympics. But in the end, at least within the band, The 2nd Law could be the album that broke that promise they made nearly 20 years ago. "Panic Station is the most funky song we've ever recorded. 10 years ago we wouldn’t have dreamed of recording this type of song. But when you grow up you appreciate other things in life. Every musical style has something to offer " said Chris. And, as Matt will suggest later, The 2nd Law is the album in which the authors of Supermassive Black Hole are more determined than ever not to repeat themselves, to be unfaithful to themselves, to break with what is expected of them, even at risk of compromising the consistency of the disc itself. Yes, itmaintains the hallmarks of the group in cuts such as Supremacy, a martial infatuation with heavy metal, in the aquatic Animals, or Big Freeze, a cut which can confirm them as the new Queen and the new U2 simultaneously . For the first time, Chris sings in two cuts from the disk. "We presented ourselves with a lot of challenges, each song has a story. In Madness, (the first single) we wanted to do something electronic and minimal, and that for us is very complicated, you know we like to go big.

 

In Follow Me, the idea was to turn a regular song into an electronic song. The first recorded our way and then we made it electronically. By contrast, The 2nd Law was in reverse, beginning with a dubstep beat and then decided to make an issue of Muse. The idea was to turn over every song, "recalls the singer, who arrived minutes before the interview, while we are talking to Chris, was late and bleary-eyed, distracted himself by blowing up balloons to the hilarity of the women who were drinking their breakfast cocktails in stilettos.

 

CHRIS

 

What's that noise?

 

Ah nothing, just Matt going crazy ... What was the question?

 

Let's see ... the band operates in a bubble or own, though it might not seem that way to you, are you sensitive to what happens in the world musically?

 

Well, I think a bit of both, really. We want to keep what is ours. Many times, when you hear too much music, you have too many influences. However, you should know what is happening, what technology is used and so on. If we only listened to 70's rock this band would not be what it is today. There are many things today that are interesting. We must find a balance between our personality, that which makes us unique and current trends, so as not to be left behind.

 

It's complicated to lead a movement, because it requires such a grand effort to try to do what you do, right?

 

It works for us, but not for others. Children don’t try this at home.

 

What's the worst they say about Muse?

 

Criticism doesn’t bother me anymore, really. Some people say our songs can alienate people. I do not know, some say we suck people’s brians. Nonsense. Look, at first we had bad reviews. We were young, many bands are counted(?) when they start and take it badly. When you're 17 you think you're the best fucking band in the world. Why doesn’t everyone like us then? It seems impossible. When you grow up, you admit that there are people out there who will never like you.

 

In this album you sing two songs, what score do you give yourself?

 

I think it is the others who valued them rather than myself. I still have little confidence in myself. It was a new experience. I've written songs but they never made their way out of my computer. When we started working on them, I wanted Matt to sing them. At the end, when it came time to record the vocals, the others believed it was better that I sing.

 

What was the first challenge when put in front of the mic?

 

Before, I sang backup and knew I could hold a note, so I locked myself in a studio I have in my house and started to practice. The problem was that I wrote those 2 songs three years ago and I did not now feel at all what I had written then. So, I was pretty fucked. And there it was, ages locked in my studio, totally happy with my life, yet trying to get that fatal feeling to sing those songs. It was very strange. It was hard to sound like someone who really believes what he's singing.

 

It’s started raining. Do you mind if we take cover?

 

Sure, this is awful. Hell of a summer.

 

Despite the group's vow not to repeat themselves and to explore every possibilitity a full studio has to offer, auto-producing again, The 2nd Law is also marked for being the first in many years to be recorded in the city in which all three reside. For the first time in more than a decade all lived in London, and the move has been just one of the changes that have occurred in the personal lives of Muse. "Don’t look at me, my life is still the same," informs Dominic (34 years). While Matt (34) said that "now I also I have family, and well, I feel that at last we have become men. The dynamics of the band changes as we grow, but sometimes, despite everything, we are still three idiots doing idiotic things. "And in the period that have passed between The Resistance (2009) and The 2nd Law (2012), Matt has become a father (had a son with actress Kate Hudson) and Chris (33 years) has had two more, increasing the number to six (and can form a volleyball team). "The recording was very comfortable, you get up in the morning, did your stuff at home, you got to the studio at two, worked six or seven hours there and came home to be with the kids. For me, recording has always been something that had to do with going away from family. When you can enjoy your private life and create an album with your band, the atmosphere is more positive. It seems that any time you can escape from the recording, it is very good. In the past, we've been locked in a studio in the south of France. You’re there, isolated, paying for a really expensive place and you feel you must use every hour of every day. That is very cramped. This time it seemed a bit like when we were kids."Like when they promised never to make a funk record, but in the end you come out something kind INXS? Chris sighs. "Not so much ... Well, this time we listened to Primus, which are also a funk band of sorts, although it is best that you ask Matt about that."

[Livs]

PART 2

 

 

MATT (1)

 

Chris has confessed to me that you are the one guilty of putting the funk in the band ...

 

Son of a bitch! Well, maybe he’s right... Well, I thought, what can we do that’s new? And of course, the answer was clear: I’ll give them what we always said we would never do: funk! There, take that, you bastards, a funk song!

 

If someone told you that you will get into a band called Muse, which records the Olympic theme and plays shows with flying saucers, what would you say?

 

I’s say, get out of here! It’s hard to understand if you’re not in our band, it can be a real bitch, but I got used to it. I've been practicing 15 years.

 

What if one day you came to the studio and tell Chris and Dominic: "Lads, let's make a record like that of Nick Drake"?

 

The truth is it would be nice to make a record in which there were a few acoustic songs. Moving away a bit from the big rock and electronics and introducing a much more organic sound. For us it would be a challenge.

 

Why haven’t you? Have you tried it?

 

Yes, and every time I try, they don’t like it. But do not despair, one day I’ll conquer their resistance!

 

How did you feel the first time you saw a paparazzi stationed at the door of your house?

 

It's weird and kind of fun. People who risk their lives chasing you in cars. They fall, they stumble, I just don’t understand it. You try to see the funny side of this madness.

 

Chris and Dominic- do they share your passion for science fiction?

 

I think they don’t care as much as me, but it works because they keep me glued to the ground. If left me alone, I’d start writing really weird & strange things. Sometimes I feel like our songs start with bass, drums and then there’s me, floating above not knowing what to do or where to land.

 

The 2nd Law refers to the second law of thermodynamics, which is assembled around the mess of matter and energy. It is, in short, the principle on which stands the theory proposes that energy is neither created nor destroyed, but rather transformed. The second law of thermodynamics establishes the basis on which this transformation occurs. Matt, who always had a soft spot for physics and science fiction, explains that the title of the album and most of the letters that compose themes revolve around energy and how it has become an obsession in the world. "Humans always fought against this principle, for it tells us that energy is declining inexorably in our body. The album's songs are about that. Energy dependence of a more obvious, but more metaphorically, using those images around the power to define the development of, for example, a relationship. "

 

This is a group that has shamelessly sold 15 million records, filled two nights at Wembley stadium, been nominated for a Grammy three times and been universally celebrated as one of the best live rock bands of today, in a musical world increasingly homogenous and timid, they seem, at least, a curiosity.

 

The rock world is still wondering if there will ever be another Nirvana, but perhaps the real question should be whether you might ever see another group like Muse. Their showmanship, without reason, eccentricity and passion for the excess is something that has long left the world of rock and has only found refuge today in Madonna's tours and public appearances by Lady Gaga. Today, pop holds the spectacle in the music world, while for rock we are left only with nostalgia.

 

"There are times when you act on the big stage, when you look at the whole scene and can’t believe it. It's crazy. Too much. You realize you do much more than play. Putting on a show like that is a little overwhelming," says Bellamy. "Sometimes, you feel a great responsibility for all that assembly. There is so much money stuffed in every tour." Muse is a band that has always worried about putting on a show, even in its infancy, when budgets were tight. I’ve even proposed that a helicopter fly over Wembley Stadium releasing thousands of balloons on the audience. The idea was discarded for security: an accident would claim the lives of too many fans. "If I go to a concert, I want something spectacular. Many times, when you see a really great band on stage who has set up a very simple show, I can not help thinking about the money, come on, you’re obviously saving some dough here, eh," says the singer .

 

DOMINIC

 

Matt said that you were responsible for introducing funk into the band ...

 

[silence] Did he say that?

 

The truth is no. It was him, the bastard!

 

Yeah, yeah ... but it seems that you get along too well and good ...

 

Do not think we get along so well.

 

Pardon?

 

We have our ups and downs. Sometimes, I think my role is to mediate between Chris and Matt. Those two.

 

Does that have to do with you being the only one who has no family?

 

Maybe. I still live the dream of rock, man.

 

Is that why you’re doing this interview at the bar?

 

Nah. I do it here because I was hungry and because I think I was the first to arrive. See? And they say I'm the least responsible of the three.

 

Matt says that, in some way, and you and Chris keep him stuck to reality, that if it was just him...

 

I don’t know. Maybe. I don’t want to think we clip his wings. Anyway, I'm not sure what you mean.

 

Do you think the band has become too big?

 

No! I love it. You know my first thought when they built the Olympic Stadium in London? Well it was great that they built another great venue to perform. Yes, the guys say it’s going to have to wait two years to perform there. It's not fair. Have you noticed that from here you can see the stadium?.

 

How does it feel to just act in front of a packed Wembley?

 

Whoa, it’s amazing. We played two nights & after the first I said to myself: "Dominic, do not go out tonight, tomorrow you can’t be onstage with a hangover. Go to bed." So I went straight to sleep. And you know what? I stared at the ceiling for hours. I couldn’t relax, I was too excited. I wish I had gone out to party.

 

You think there are other bands like yourselves?

 

No idea. Perhaps the closest thing to Muse once was Radiohead. But now Radiohead have gone crazy.

 

Do you feel comfortable giving interviews? Actually, this setup in which each of you individually give interviews in the same place, is rare, but interesting ...

 

I don’t mind giving interviews. Well, just before this, with a crazy Italian, that was really strange. As for this setup, don’t know, it works better like this than all three at once.

 

What would it be like for Muse if they hadn’t achieved this great level of success? The band is huge, and the possibility of working with huge budgets has allowed them to sound like they sound, and above all, give a coherence musical voice to their high goals. [not sure about that interpretation] One of the reasons why you may not see bands like them may be economic. In an industry in a state of emergency such as the music industry, this trio who’s brought us Origin of Symmetry (2001) is a true anomaly. "I've never really thought of where we would be today without the success we’ve achieved. That's interesting. I think in our case, the big sound comes with the big concerts. I feel that if we had stayed in small venues, today we would be a more organic and acoustic band. I don’t know. Well it's still just a wish," says Matt. But while the enormity of resources encourages them to feed off the beast, being one of the most popular bands on the planet also has its collateral damage. One is fame, something that none of them seemed to value particularly, and which might have made the band spin out of control when Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy began dating. "When that happened, I thought, if we survive our singer getting together with a Hollywood star, we can survive anything," says Dominic. So with the combo firmly positioned as global royalty, it is not surprising that the public and media would come to them to ask the same questions asked of pop stars, about their views on the macroeconomic situation, global politics or armed conflicts that hatch in the remotest parts of the planet. "I have no problem talking about anything," Chris intervenes. "But I will not pretend to be an expert in macroeconomics. I do not mind giving my opinion, but I’m careful, especially if you talk about politics that you’ve got to know what you're saying. It’s not fair to say that all politicians are assholes. It's more serious. If you want to be fluent in these subjects you’ve got to do your research and, well, when you have six children, you don’t have much time to read political essays. I answer whatever I can, but I'm not ready to call myself an expert. Matt seems to feel more comfortable talking about those issues.

V.F: 'What do remember when you first met Kate?'

M: 'We were at Coachella Festival in CA. She had no idea who I was, I played there 2 nights before and was just hanging out there.

M: 'When I miss a plane or I've had some unforseen moment. That's the good time for writing.Or when I'm left alone at home & everybody has gone. What is important is that it's an unexpected occasion.'

 

V.F: 'Now that you are a dad has the situation changed?'

M: 'I write only in free time, babies swallow you up. But that's alright.'

 

V.F: 'What do u dislike of this world?"

M: 'I think we've recently become too competitive & don't enjoy ourselves at the end since we are so obsessed by our targets.'

That comment about Dom being the only one 'without a family' was really rude and insensitive of the reader, no wonder he was cold after that! I imagine it could be a touchy subject and even if he is enjoying single life it's still a negative way of putting things

 

And of course Matt cooks pasta

[Seaking]

Not really. It's a fact. Dom enjoys the life he has, he even said so.

 

The cold part is that I think Dom doesn't like that he seems to be labelled as the irresponsible one just because he isn't married with children.

I know, and the language barrier probably made it sound more offensive than it was intended to be poor Dom!

 

My favourite part has to be the 'There is only one Kate in my life' quote. What a cutie

[HannahG123]

The cold part is that I think Dom doesn't like that he seems to be labelled as the irresponsible one just because he isn't married with children.

 

Yeh, I meant that if/because he is happy in life he was probably trying extra hard to show it and disagree, as you say, with the idea that he is irresponsible.

 

Yeh that was cute completely non muse related but I do think the story of how they met is sweet. Something like Matt told Kate they were doing 'a little gig you should come along and check it out' so she did and was like 'a LITTLE GIG!?'

Did you know she had to leave the night of the day they met (which was the eve of her birthday) and as she was boarding her plane he sang happy birthday to her :')

 

Yeah if I recall correctly, she said he asked her to come see 'a little gig' and it turned out to be a Stadium? Haha

Aww Matt

 

I am glad we have managed to have this discussion before the haters descend with their vomit emoticons

[FabriPav]

[Livs]

Aww Matt

 

I am glad we have managed to have this discussion before the haters descend with their vomit emoticons

 

I know! Such a cutie

 

Oops, too late. Fabri's fab though.

[Isia.x33]

Livs was the interview already translated or..?

because sometimes when they are, it comes off as "rude" and "cold", if you know what I mean... I'm not saying that the part about family was acceptable, but it wasnt the first time interviewer was nosey like that and I dont recall Dom being this rude.

 

correct me if im wrong though

[HannahG123]

 

Oh you

[CarrieB]

Thanks for those Olivia.

 

In the first one. I don't think it was too bad. Dom was probably just tired or something or was speaking tongue in cheek.

 

The interviewer seemed to be attempting to wind them up regarding the introduction of funk. Matt didn't bite but maybe Dom did a bit. Perhaps he thought Matt was bullshitting or trying to wind him up. Thing is looking at what is typed here, Matt didn't say anything of the sort! Naughty interviewer!

 

May have been the single thing, don't know. But maybe Dom just wasn't in the mood for talking too much.

 

In any case, I definitely don't think it is a good idea interviewing them all separately, not when it's for the same magazine at the same time. I miss their banter.

 

The second one is sweet, the stuff about Bing particularly, but the bit I most like is the stuff about the song writing. I always thought Matt wrote from how he felt, not to be commercial or anything so it's nice to see him say that. I like that he says he doesn't think, that it has to be intuitive.

 

Plus he's spot on about the targets thing. Completely absolutely spot on.

[JessicaSarahS]

Thanks for posting!

I got sent it already translated. Yeah omg I did mention that I think?!!!? Or at least I did on my first attempt at posting before my Mac decided to hate me and refresh the page

 

Despite the language barrier, he still seems a little pissed off, but as you say Dom isn't normally like that.

 

Olé

[kevmamen96]

I thought the most interesting part was the bit about Matt writing acoustic songs in the vein of Nick Drake only to have Chris and Dom not like it. Not sure if he's bullshitting or not, but I really want some more acoustic Muse songs.

[CarrieB]

Chris did mention perhaps doing an acoustic album once. I thought it was Matt who felt uncomfortable about performing acoustic songs.

 

Anyway, maybe I'm just tired now, but felt a little more bothered about the first interview than earlier when I thought about it. As well as the earlier comments about his friends, at the end Dom mentions something about the band surviving their lead singer dating a Hollywood actress. I hope that was just a throwaway jokey remark and Dom didn't really mean that he felt it had threatened the band.

 

Course they will have their ups and downs, but I thought the guys were supposed to be happier than ever and getting on better than ever according to all the previous comments. So I hope this is just a bad translation of tongue in cheek comments, or Dom having an off day or something.

 

I hope the guys are all okay basically.

[mjartrod]

M: 'Sure. I can make pasta at home. I often cook them for Kate for lunch. She likes protein in the evening.' (i'm sure pasta is a carb Matt?!!??!)

Which is why he says he cooks pasta at lunch and not in the evening.

 

 

 

I don't see the big deal about Dom being annoyed or whatever in the first interview..? Tone can be lost in translation (english to spanish and then back to english) plus I can definitely see him chuckling as he said some of those things.

Hilarious that Dom says he has to play moderator between Chris and Matt... as I seem to recall Chris used to be the referee between Dom and Matt. Hmmmmmmmmmmm... sensing a pattern here.. :p:LOL:

I read it positively where they thought it would be a big deal, but it turned out not to be a problem whatsoever.

[Livs]

Which is why he says he cooks pasta at lunch and not in the evening.

 

my mistake, at first look at the rough translation it looked like he said he cooks pasta as she likes protein. It took me about half an hour to post this/re format everything and it was late at night. Re reading it through now i makes sense of course.

[CarrieB]

I read it positively where they thought it would be a big deal, but it turned out not to be a problem whatsoever.

 

Yeah I agree, but in context with the slightly downbeat feel of the interview, I wondered whether it was a bit of a swipe at Matt. Probably not, but Dom appears, from what he says generally in interviews, to be the most ambitious of the three.

 

Anyway, as has been said, it is easy to misread this interview. I hope that we have a lot more interviews of them together, at least Matt and Dom together, like in the old days. I would miss those warm, funny interviews if they stopped happening. Incidentally, I do like the interviews with Chris as well.

[Louhi]

The first interview is strange. It really seems the interviewer lied to Dom on purpose

 

The Vanity Fair interviewer missed a great follow-up question when Matt said he would suck David Bowie's blood. As a Bowie fan I would love to know why. Is it because he respects Bowie or does he think Bowie deserves to get bitten by a vampire? I guess we'll never find out.
