Finakly, with subtitles )))) Audio interview for RTL 2 http://www.rtl2.fr/culture/muse-le-public-de-bercy-est-toujours-assez-incroyable-7782178108 Virgin France Radio interview with Matt Edited March 21, 2016 by Claudia O.

Zepp Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 M6: Dom: The stage is at the very center so the audience is everywhere around us. It creates much better eye-contact and greater proximity. Matt: We played in the US, and we expect much more enthousiastic crowds in France. Dom: French fans have always been very special. Their reaction to our music is phenomenal. Matt: Those drones are autonomous, they fly by themselves, they are not controlled. The lights are automatic too, they follow us. Everything is automated. About their free time Matt: We're gonna go to Le Louvre, walk around, go to see the Eiffel Tower, tourist things. She's looking at me [the interviewer] and her expression says "it's not interesting, move on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentsatellite Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Left out the part where he giggled after he said it, too. What a complete bastard. Oh, and the live clips prove he was sounding shit that night, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Meh, don't see the issue in saying that some crowds are more energetic. I mean it's just simply...true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 It's sort of just the accumulation of all the negative things he's said. Other than this, there were at least three separate things that came out of the Houston/Dallas shows that amounted to him saying he hated US crowds. And in '12 he told an old work collegue during an informal interview that his favorite part of the US tour is when it's over. That's maybe a bit more specific? I'm a big proponent of not badmouthing your paying fans because they don't live up to your very specific expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm not usually into analysing the band's responses to things but the way he said it and that little laugh he gave afterwards seemed to imply that he was calling the US crowds dull. Not outright ragging on them but still suggesting that the European crowds are better. That's how it came across to me, anyway. Not too bad on it's own but, like Serpent said, it only adds to the idea that they actively dislike touring there. I think preferring a certain type of crowd is fine and natural but it's a bit harsh to actually come out and say it or treat those fans differently/worse because of it, especially when you've only just come from touring there.

serpentsatellite Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 As a good example, what Dom said was completely appropriate. And sounded like he was maybe trying to smooth over what Matt said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael8888 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 To be fair, if i were Matt, I would be pissed off after that iHeartRadio thing in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I posted a new interview in the first post, that laugh of Matt! But again, what are they talking about?? Edited March 1, 2016 by Claudia O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobby Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) To be fair, if i were Matt, I would be pissed off after that iHeartRadio thing in 2013. Why though? They must've known what they were signing up for with that gig, especially judging by the rest of the lineup. Seems like it was just another case of Muse wanting to get bigger in America by marketing themselves towards casual mainstream pop audiences but expecting to then draw energetic hard rock crowds. Just doesn't make sense. Plus, it seems like his dislike towards playing in the US goes further back than 2013.

L. Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I posted a new interview in the first post, that laugh of Matt! But again, what are they talking about?? Matt being a smartass when asked how he found the new stage he answered I just walked down the stairs and there it was!! Srsly he mentioned that he likes the 365 stage because every time they turn around there are facing people happy to see them. Finally they mentioned that it is an emotional time playing in Paris as the girlfriend of one of their tech guys was a the EODM gig at the Bataclan so they are here to celebrate music and what it represents for people.

Claudia O Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 thank you, how naughty! for the last part, but hey celebrating music is always the best ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepp Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The part about French crowds being more enthousiastic didn't strike me as snarky (nor did the laugh), tbh. I mean if they translated well he said "expect", not "look forward to" or "happy to play for". So umh, merely an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zepp Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I-télé: Matt: This is a new technology, we have those flying objects above the stage. It's a bit dangerous because they're not always working properly. Dom: We tried different things: orchestral music, slow music, a powerful sound, some electronic influences, too. We tried to make those ours and that had a massive impact on how we sound today. When we play on that stage, we can see the first rows very well, we can feel their reaction directly, and it is such an incredible feeling to see how we touch/move them with our music. Also i didn't mention it before but they're the first band to play at Bercy since it was renovated and upgraded to 20 000 attendees every night.
