eyduh Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Muse have a feature in the new issue of Rolling Stone. Warning: 70% of the article goes on and on about Matt and how he's a genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangeseas Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Dom: An Orchestra. Yeah, I'm okay with that. A synthesizer. Hell no, we are a three-piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sade Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Thanks, I was waiting for this. I'm not completely sure how this matches the "On the road with Muse" cover title however, I thought this would be a more of a behind-the-scenes of the tour thing. Really nice write-up, though, didn't Rolling Stone used to ignore/dislike Muse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranhaconda Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'm surprised to see them say that Dom promotes the three-piece thing when he's been so widely credited with bringing in more synthesizers and being the person constantly pushing for the band to get bigger and bigger.

Really nice write-up, though, didn't Rolling Stone used to ignore/dislike Muse? Yeah. Rolling Stone spent years disregarding Muse; when the band was mentioned, often it was to criticize them for being too bombastic/over-the-top/epic. I feel like the complete 180 may have something to do with the approval of Tom Morello and U2. Rolling Stone worships those guys. All the same, it's a pretty well-written article. The ending is nice.

Dave. Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Doesn't every Muse article just wank off Matt nowadays? Even in Dom's drum interview it spoke more about Matt than Dom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom: Continue practicing, learning, and improving your skills even when you think you've made it to the top. Mag: Or find your own genius and gloriously amazing Matt Bellamy? Dom: ...

Clunge Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 But I am all for a more organic sound. The last thing you can say about Muse's sound is that it's organic. There's literally nothing organic about Muse's set up - it's all digital trickery and filtered nonsense. Bleurgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 What's wrong with plugging a guitar into an amp and playing it? It just sounds better. Matt's guitars sounds glitchy half the time. Hysteria has absolutely no beef at all any more. Bring back the 2004-era setup. The Bomber sounded monstrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hysteria has absolutely no beef at all any more. Bring back the 2004-era setup. The Bomber sounded monstrous. This is true, it did sound a lot better but there are still some amazing tones that he gets nowadays. The new SMBH tone for example, so beefy But still, that's not to say he doesn't just use the amp clean still, just not as much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjartrod Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Doesn't every Muse article just wank off Matt nowadays? I thought it was much more unbalanced in the past, especially cos Matt used to do most of the interviews and they seem to split press duties in a different way now.
