Matt Bellamy: "We don't care if having a song on Twilight soundtrack is uncool"

[canadianmuser]

or 'footface'

 

Hey hey hey

[Buxomflirter Queef]

Hey hey hey

 

N'aww Patti!

[A for Awesomeness]

Hey hey hey

 

Robert Pattinson is a gigantic sold out faggot.

u mad?

[canadianmuser]

Naw. Don't care much what you think lmao!

[pokemew]

[Aveire]

Well, just damn. I heard Matt doesn't like Twilight. Anyway, I hate connecting my favourite band with these books and movies, and what? They like it...

But okay, it's a tabloid

[Tasha_]

They're really good and we hope to continue with this and do another song

 

Please don't. Giving songs to three of the films is bad enough.

Apparently the last book is going to be two films. Two more songs then?

God, no

[slightly sane.]

I really hope Muse doesn't give songs to any more Twilight movies. I'd love for Muse to be big in the US, but not owing their success to bad movies.

[brainwashed]

Being such a big fan it's surprising Matt hasn't met Robert Pattinson, who plays vampire Edward, alongside Kristen Stewart as Bella in the franchise.

He said:

"I haven't met him yet, but we have a meeting scheduled. I am looking forward to it already. It's so nice that Robert and I both come from England. We will understand each other and have common ground."

 

a meeting with Rpatz?

[LyraSilvertongue]

Another thing that makes me think this us fake is that they give no indication of where and when Matt was interviewed. It seems to be cobbled together from bits of other interviews, at best.

[escapist]

Christ. He is waaaaaay too nice.

[crazydays]

Christ. He is waaaaaay too nice.

 

Always has been.

 

Anyway there are just a few things in this article that caused me to spit out my drink:

 

The 31-year old singer and guitarist admits to being a massive fan of the vampire movie franchise.

 

Drummer Dominic and Matt look so alike they could be taken for brothers

 

Matt, who lives in Lake Como, Italy, goes horse-riding and diving. He split up with his Italian girlfriend last year and has been linked to Lily Allen.

 

[blinkin fightuse]

i wouldn't be surprised if he's getting Twilight mixed with True Blood.

[apap3rplat3]

Maybe Matt actually wrote the Twilight novels in secret, knowing that they would be hugely successful in America. And thus when it came time to make movies based off the books, he could easily slap some Muse songs in to gain fans in America. It's a cunning scheme really. Explains everything as well.

[slipperypoo]

This whole thing confuses me. It's been edited to fuck.

 

But he says 'remember your music is important'. (Well, unless the DR have made that up.) But, to me, it doesn't seem as if the music is all that is important to the band anymore. Clearly being part of the Twilight franchise and and selling out somewhat is more important nowadays. Do they not look at this board? If they did, they would realise most of their fans hate Neutron Star Collision, and hate them being associated with the films. Unless that is why they are fans in the first place, because of the films.

 

Sure, it's admirable if a band/musician is just creating whatever music is inside them, regardless, but I don't think that's what is happening. I think they have latched on to this 'Conspiracy theory, aliens, goverment, spaceships' side of them, realising it's a great angle and will sell a lot, but I think they have sacrificed a lot of what people originally loved them for. And i think this Twilight lark is a part of all that.

 

I don't know why I ended up using this thread for my ranting

Thanks for Article..

Really great interview all the same

[Guest nick913]

lmao he legit likes twilight

 

i'm sure many elitist muse fans are happy to read that

[Chocolate E. Clare]

lol, tabloid rubbish is rubbish. i can actually imagine matt liking twilight though....

[Parise]

that doesn't sound like matt's 'voice' at all. they edited the hell out of his comments, you can tell.

 

but of course, this is from the daily record... freaking tabloid

 

I agree. This doesn't sound like Matt at all.

[jbyun04]

my fish detector is going nuts..

 

that doesn't sound like the way matt talks at all

[lozbey]

The only way I could see Matt saying half the stuff he does in this interview if it was Matt being Matt, and trying to give ridiculous answers to things.

 

I don't imagine he's even seen any of the Twilight films, even if he said he liked it. The idea of him swooning over a future meeting with Pattison is downright absurd. But this could be like when the band were asked what their fave song was, and one of them "Britney Spears - womanizer".

 

I don't read much into things they do or don't say in silly interviews.

 

 

Interviewer "I read that you said Plug in Baby is about genetically modifying a puppy to stop it from growing"

 

Matt Bellamy "Well, I say a lot of things"

He did say that he saw the first twilame movie and said it was this generations....can'trememberthenameofthemovie... and he said thought it was alright but it seemed like he was just being nice..

 

I think it was with Zane Lowe. The one where Matt talks about becoming the worst producer ever.

 

But I still don't think the "Matt" that was in that interview sounds like Bellamy

Sorry but I don't agree with any of that. I believe that Muse are continuing to write music they want to write, I don't think they have sold out, it's not true that most of their fans hate Neutron Star Collision, as more like it than don't, and to say that they use conspiracy theories etc just because they think it's a good selling angle is frankly ridiculous in my view. It is obvious that Matt takes a great personal interest in such things.
