cherry lips Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Haha,We love you Chris! I'm glad that he said the way it is...Without any ...and we thought it would be nice...
Furygirl Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I'm having a vision of an irate Matt waving his hands around erratically and complaining to Chris "Why'd you have to go and say the selling your soul bit!?" And then Chris sitting on him.
Linn91 Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I love you Chris! You tell us how it really is!.. It's kind of easier to trust him.
Tasha_ Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Love Chris! I'm having a vision of an irate Matt waving his hands around erratically and complaining to Chris "Why'd you have to go and say the selling your soul bit!?" And then Chris sitting on him.
Saracene Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Chris has probably said what he actually thinks whereas Matt's choice of words is more careful in case they lose custom in America. Or maybe Matt and Chris simply have different feelings on the matter. Plus I think that, because we only see the quote in print, it's not exactly clear what tone accompanied Chris' "selling souls" comment, it could have been jokey or it could have been dead serious.
a-museing Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I don't know why everyones so happy that Chris admited he thinks they sold their souls by putting a song on the soundtrack.
Hat Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I don't know why everyones so happy that Chris admited he thinks they sold their souls by putting a song on the soundtrack. Because if it wasn't Matt, there is no beef.
TERZi Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 T-Total, pipe smoking Chris is cranky No one can't be so cool with pipe than Chris!
Buxomflirter Queef Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Or maybe Matt and Chris simply have different feelings on the matter. Plus I think that, because we only see the quote in print, it's not exactly clear what tone accompanied Chris' "selling souls" comment, it could have been jokey or it could have been dead serious. Oh of course, on both accounts, that's possible (although making a joke about it doesn't mean you don't actually mean it )
Mozza Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Chris said things certain people were thinking. Thats why they're happy because someone in the band agrees with them. Matt seems to change his mind as often as his outfits which is why people don't take him seriously
weird cOokie Posted July 13, 2010 Author Posted July 13, 2010 I'm having a vision of an irate Matt waving his hands around erratically and complaining to Chris "Why'd you have to go and say the selling your soul bit!?" And then Chris sitting on him. omg :LOL:
LyraSilvertongue Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I agree with Chris. Having their music on the Twilight soundtrack is a bit like selling their souls. As is appearing on Live and Kicking. As is giving endless interviews. I'm sure they don't to any of these things for the fun of it. If they want to get their music to a wider audience, that always comes with a bit of soul-selling.

But you remember how they appeared on Live and Kicking?
Anxyous Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 This is the father (Chris) buying expensive presents (this) for the children (us, the fans), because the parents (Muse) are divorcing (splitting up), and he wants to steal the kids away from the mother (Matt & Dom). In short, Muse are splitting up, and Chris wants to keep the fans In return, Matt gets to keep his suits and stage show, and Dom gets to keep his tour buses and faf bag. Kirky gets their egos.
LyraSilvertongue Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 But you remember how they appeared on Live and Kicking? Yes Maybe that wasn't a good example.
HullaGirl Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 But you remember how they appeared on Live and Kicking? If that's how the "soul selling" thing works then I don't mind them doing it.
*OoS* Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Hopefully Chris can bring Matt down to earth with this whole superstar behaviour business...
JessicaSarahS Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Chris said things certain people were thinking. Thats why they're happy because someone in the band agrees with them. Matt seems to change his mind as often as his outfits which is why people don't take him seriously Exactly! And I think just mentioning Chris' name more than Matt's pisses CarrieB off.
Niall Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Considering they are a band about being against the man and 'rising up' its a bit of a contradiction for the lyrics and themes they use. It's always been a bit of a gimmick though, even if Matt believes in it, they don't carry the same sort of sincere message that bands like RATM and SOAD have done in their lyrics, ultimately Muse is more of a commercial and eclectic entity than that. I doubt they tried to break America in order to spread any kind of message or values afterall...so I don't think it should come as any surprise that in their maturity they are willing to give in to commercial pressures. The compromises have to come from somewhere and who can blame them for wanting more money and fame? They have things like contracts to fulfill which is while Exogenesis is three album tracks instead of a 45 minute long symphony. Warner have to find a way of turning it into a commercial product because that's what they're there for. That doesn't mean they always get it right however.
pokemew Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Hell yes, Chris, you're the only one I can really trust! every day Chris shows us something that makes us love him even more ah!
pokemew Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 I don't know why everyones so happy that Chris admited he thinks they sold their souls by putting a song on the soundtrack. because mister Wolstenholme is epic and now with the addition of the pipe, he's getting more epic every day
HighRevoltage Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 :chris: :chris: At least someone in the band has a clear mind! Yay for Chris!
mon_coeur_s'ouvre Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 i remember that i read on some music website that muse were supposed to appear on the eclipse soundtrack but wouldn't anymore (that was a few months ago) i wonder what happened there and why they ended up on it after all. didn't dom say that they met stephenie meyer some years ago before the twilight hype and she asked them whether they could use their music? i guess turning her down then would just have been rude... and i think it's fine they used supermassive black hole in the first film. but if they really feel like they're selling their soul, why did they contribute another song for the 2nd and even wrote one for the 3rd film? i don't get it. well maybe in case of the 3rd one since david slave directed it maybe they didn't want to turn him down? (if he was the one who asked?) i mean before the first film no one expected this success or knew how big this all would get, but after the hype started they should have known how this all would turn out. so why continue giving songs for the twilight people to use?
