Stumbled across this interview with Paul Banks (of Interpol) just now, it is from 2007 OLTA time.

HUMO: The producer of ‘Our Love to Admire’ was Rich Costey, who’s particularly

renowned for his work for Muse, the stadium band of the moment. Was that the

deciding factor to work with him?

 

PB: “I’m probably the only one of the band who wanted Costey for his work for Muse; the

others were more interested in his work for The Mars Volta and so on. But I heard the Muse records

and I knew: this sound is interesting for us. I also like them musically. That dude is a

virtuoso musician. Watching Muse in a stadium is like watching Slash when I was younger. If

I would be fifteen years younger, I would love it. It’s a spectacle.”

 

A shame that Daniel, Sam (and Carlos) aren't fans, but meh. :D

 

He didn't know Matt's name either :LOL: Man, I love Interpol.

 

Have Muse ever expressed an opinion of them?

 

(Sorry if this is in the wrong area)

Can't link since I'm on my iPod right now, but there was an interview a few years back in which Matt said Dom liked Interpol. Once I'm on my PC I'll share the link.

 

Oh yeah, and Dom has hit on Paul's girl (Helena Christensen) :LOL:

Well of course he did, she's 40 years old:LOL:

 

Awww, such nice words from the nice fellow Paul Banks:D

When they "toured together", is that just a reference to doing some US festivals together? :)

 

Is wasn't a full on "proper" tour was it?

 

I need to get a summer job, so I can buy tickets for Brixton. :LOL::D
