Josi Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Latest Q magazine interview...rather interesting Q: Now you're more famous, do you think you're more likely to be kidnapped by aliens? Matt: Dom has actually been abducted by aliens. But he's done research and found out that it's actually something called sleep paralysis. Dom: It's when you're extremely tired - you go to bed and you fall asleep but you suddenly think you're awake and you can't move. You're effectively paralysed in bed. And often what's associated with that is a weird presence in the room Matt: Tell him about the little goblins Dom: I've seen little goblins running around at the bottom of my bed. I've been dragged out of my bed...So there are extreme cases where people do feel like they've been abducted by aliens. But they're really just suffering from sleep paralysis. But I've certainly, honestly, experienced it, so I'm comfortable that it's not alien abduction. I didn't wake up with a sore bum. Matt: [excitedly] I'm so glad someone else has take that role in the band. I hope you know I'm not the fucking weird one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musse Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I don't think he's mad.. I'd say he's different in a good way.. He's clever enough to channel all those crazy ideas and weird theories into some of the most incredible songs ever! I guess if he wasn't like that, interviews wouldn't be so funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.gypsy Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I think to be able to exist on earth you have to be insane,mental,nutz or a tad weird. Otherwise you would go mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyduh Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I doubt that he 's really crazy,he's just got an unusual personality,and over the past years there has been this image of him going on as this crazy conspiracy-obsessed singer,and the majority of people see him that way.I'm sure he's a pretty normal person.

Minus the goblins, but there was something holdind me down and lauhing 'cause I couldn't breath. Thankfully it hasn't happend in a while, but these days I get sleep apnea - not fun, especially with asthma. Sorry you're going through this Dommeh. And to answer the thread question, no I don't think Matt is mad at all. He's just extremely intelligent, and all the rest of us are really slow. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calliope. Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Sure he's a little kooky! So what. Heres what the internet says about geniuses and insanity! "If a man comes to the door of poetry untouched by the madness of the muses, believing that technique alone will make him a good poet, he and his sane compositions never reach perfection, but are utterly eclipsed by the inspired madman" "Genius and insanity go hand in hand" "The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success" "To be a true genius, you have to know insanity" "There's only a fine line between genius and insanity" - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally_Symmetrical Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I seem to remember him saying at one point that he expected people to say he's a skinny, pretentious wanker. And that they'd be right Yea! In this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Th_dsYn6eDc&feature=related That whole interview is awesome. No. He knows that he's crazy, and he doesn't care what others think.
