shh! i love it! :LOL:

 

here's a great bit from an article, really touching :) :

 

 

 

Teignmouth is also where Muse’s world tour kicked off this week on a huge field near the water. What a coup for a town that was – its most famous sons coming back to the place where they first bonded over music as teenagers, especially over the indie-punk bands such as Mega City Four, The Wedding Present, and Senseless Things.

 

Still, Dom points out, this was after Matt got over his shellsuit rapper phase. His shellsuit rapper phase? “Oh, yeah. There’s lots of things about our early days that people should find out.”

 

And find out we shall.

 

One overcast evening in 1993, a long-haired boy in New Age baggy trousers walked across The Den, a large patch of grass on Teignmouth seafront. He approached Matt Bellamy, a sporty kid in Hi-Techs who liked rapper Derek B, Run-DMC and the KLF. “My gang was over there, Dom’s gang was over there,” remembers Matt. “Dom walked over. Went (Juts out lip) ‘Alright’, I went, (Juts out lip again) ‘Alright’. He looked like Kurt Cobain and the people with all laughed – you know, what’s this weirdo want?” And then Dom said, ‘(Moves head in) Don’t tell anyone, but our guitarist’s crap and never turns up for rehearsals, so do you fancy a go?” Matt giggles again. “Got to give the boy credit, he broke the gang barrier!”

 

But Matt had a secret that he hadn’t told his sporty friends: he had already seen Dom’s band playing live. They were called – but of course – Gothic Plague, and girls seemed to flock to them. “That got my attention”, says Matt. “Teignmouth’s your usual small town – you’re trying to get with a girl, and then some dodgy old geezer turns up in a Capri and that’s it, they’ve gone! Then I saw Dom’s band, and all these girls staring at them, and thought, “Hmm, these guys have got something,” that’s when I started playing the guitar…”

 

Dom had noticed Matt strumming in their music class, knew he had a knack for it, and soon got Matt trading in his Hi-Techs for Dr Martens. Together, they got into Rage Against The Machine, Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr, formed a new group, the Rocket Baby Dolls, and eventually recruited Chris from a school year below. They renamed themselves Muse. They practiced in a grubby rehearsal room for which they still have the keys (“We went there the other week, and it was all mold, cobwebs and mushrooms,” Dom winces) and played gigs in Teignmouth’s Ivy House in 1995, just before it got turned into retirement flats.

 

Until 2009, that was the last time Muse played a concert in town. Matt still remembers when their first tour began there, and the excitement he felt.

 

“That memory of getting of getting into our crappy orange tour bus, grinning like idiots, going out from town into the big unknown…” His eyes glaze over and he shakes his head. “It reminds me of that excitement of starting out. But by starting our world tour here this time, we’re also reminding local kids that you can get out there and do what we did.” He smiles. “It means a lot.”

 

 

 

 

:happy:

 

it is touching indeed :) love it

Actually, he's saying "That's the biggest mosh pit I've ever seeeen! ...And I've seen a few."

 

That's what I also made of it. But the funny thing is, every time I tried to concentrate to figure out what he was saying, and played it again and again, I couldn't understand a word. Then when I finally gave up and just listened to the album without concentrating on that line, I suddenly understood it all :LOL:

Actually, he's laughing, then blurting out "...Cheap mask..." in reference to the cheap, rubber vampire that's currently attempting to scare them. ;)

This has most probably been posted before but:

 

Interviewer: What was the first single from the band's second studio album?

Matt: UNO.

Dom: NO, YOU IDIOT!

 

Me and my mate CANNOT stop watching the youtube video of it so she made a facebook group for it :phttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Dom-Howard-saying-NO-YOU-IDIOT/124966354207883

 

What made me laugh the most in that video was Matt's "buzzer" every time he was going to answer :LOL:
