Muse interview

[thatguy203]

So i think there are three types of people in this Muse vs Radiohead argument. There are the "I wanna be different so im gonna say i dont hear the similarity" people. Then there are the people who find it hard to listen to radiohead so they prefer muse. Thats fine Radiohead is hard to listen to. And then there are the people who really enjoy radioheads odd sound. In my opinion its not muse thats influenced by radiohead. Its just Bellamy. His voice is slightly similar to Thom Yorkes

[pelle1243]

Muse sound like Radiohead herp derp. I'm a complete retard with no ears for music and I also think that Elvis and Slipknot is quite similiar aswell.

[MrWebLife]

@pelle1243 Ok, the reason for this is just one song, really. "Falling Down", where Matt obviously is singing like Thom Yorke. But that doesn't apply to the rest of their stuff. So, yeah, people are being stupid, as always..

[soph4872]

"And...I woke up red!" Hahaha!

[Darkious]

the interviewer looks like he wants to sabotage the band

[RTomoT]

God.. that interviewer is such a draining cunt!! He could at least of been a bit more enthusiastic and smile more often instead of chipping away at Muse.. asshole.

[kennedy1251]

[clapphamjunction]

In terms of musical composing Bohemian Rhapsody's structure resembles much more Paranoid Android than any Muse song. I just don't understand how these idiots get a licence to interview such epic bands as Muse.

[neilwilson557]

@clapphamjunction but bohemian rhapsody is a million times better than paranoid android!

[TheJimmydamonkey]

Love Matts hand gestures, its like he's gonna hit Dom in the face xD

[okcomputeA]

i love how he says he cant be compared to either bands cuz he knows they are a combo of both them but whatever its way better than any of us could have done and every band rips off their favorites

[limbdarkening]

Did the interviewer say 'Mees'?

[markymarksenior]

only time ive seen all 3 in one interview

[mabbiii]

I: Which of these comparisons currently annoys you the most? 1. you sound like Radiohead...

Matt: *annoyed, tired sigh*

Why do I find that bit so amusing?

[6BlueMan6]

At their start, Muse sounded a bit like Radiohead , but not anymore.

And the persons who say that radiohead is shit should be killed !!!

[newborn54]

@6BlueMan6 Radiohead are shit.

[tsss23]

@newborn54 your shit

[newborn54]

@tsss23 you're*

[tsss23]

@newborn54 i'm what?

[newborn54]

@tsss23 It's "you're shit", not "your shit".

[tsss23]

@newborn54 Thank you for the correction :3

[1984LHS]

how the hell do bohemian rhapsody and new born sound anything alike? why do people make up such crap comparisons?

[xMCRx13]

Gerard Way's red hair looks way better then Matt's.

[maxpayne232]

The interviewer really is a dick. He just talks about like How big do you wanna get ? How successfull do you wanna be ? It's like who gives a fuck. If the music is good then I'm ready to pay money to hear it. I don't care how big a band is.

[GerardFrankMcr]

how could someone be insulted if their song is said to be sounding like bohemian rhapsody??

[XXxBetsxXX]

@GerardFrankMcr no there saying that ppl think muse song new born sounds like bohemian rhapsody, and matts saying their song being compared to bohemian rhapsody is an insult to bohemian rhapsody like thier song is as good as bohemian rhapsody....if that makes sense xD

[IndianaJoel93]

Muse and Radiohead are as similar as a boat and an airplane

[beadycat]

@IndianaJoel93

Brilliant! :0D

[TheCollisionofworlds]

@IndianaJoel93 and that's because muse is fucking awesome and radiohead is crap

[IndianaJoel93]

@TheCollisionofworlds tbh I like Radiohead :P

[estherdgr]

I really looove matts hair :D

[tdrider2008]

WTF is this guy talking about Muse and Radiohead are so different and Bohemian RHapsody and New Born are both awesome (bo rhap is better but) Muse is awesome and so is Queen(two greatest bands) but this interviewer is the definition of douchebag

[FOFballer]

holy shit. i had a pair of the shoes matt was wearing around that time.

[thecitizenme]

what the fuck? NEW BORN = BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY?....albert einstein was right,..stupidity is infinity....:)

[xxGreenDayMusexx]

lol the interviewers face at the last second hahaha

[budbuddingdingMUSE]

ahahaha! matts sigh when the interveiwer said 'Radiohead' :L

[haylin13]

Dom used to look cute, now he looks sexy haha

[ruledbymuse1]

this interviewer never smiles. its annoying. if i was interviewing muse i would have the biggest smile on my face.

[9PlugInBaby9]

Interviewer: Which of these comparisons currently annoys you most? One, you sound like Radiohead--"

Matt: *sighs*

<3

[TakuMcShizzles]

MATT'S SHOES.

[showbiz7755]

matts laughing at the interviewer basically all through the video :D

[slickbritchick]

muse are hilarious here, the interviewer is like a teacher. what is his problem ?!

[xxMelbbzxx]

new born sounds a bit like bohemian rapsody

matt "well thats an insult to bohemian rapsody in my opinion"

LOL

[StupidNutter]

scott mills is a shite here how has he made it to where he is now acting like that?!

[showbiz7755]

i love matts reaction to the interviewer talking about their partys! XD

[Jake123557]

Matthew Bellamy doesn't fit red hair. He's much cooler now! :D

[Sh0wBiZ94]

@Jake123557

he is fit even with a racoon on his head >:D

[mentalsmurf2]

I fucking love the sound Matt makes at 2:30 when they're compared to Radio head lol. It's priceless.

[PwoperCitizen]

chris, fucking talk

[TheSkoony]

Whoa, interviews from the 00s... playing a soung LOUD in the background doesn't really help.

[molovesmusic567]

new born like bohemian rhapsody?? psh not even CLOSE!!!!

[loliver3]

Loads of parties in Devon my arse.

It sucks down here. I love how they laugh at that question. 8D

[BedroomBassist]

Dom's hair LOL.

[Corinnawulf]

matt's red hair fits perfectly to the colourful background.

this interview is so totally teen-pop-show-typical.

[Spedo09]

New Born = Bohemian Rhapsody?! ehm.

[jamdodgeismyname1]

i prefer radiohead... roll on the thumbs downs

[Boubala24]

@jamdodgeismyname1

Gave you a thumbs up just to throw you off.

[jamdodgeismyname1]

@Boubala24 haha

[perritaamorosa]

united states of eurasia = bohemian rhapsody, no new born.

[CherieRachel]

hahahah these questions are ridiculous!!!

[fissnoc]

early Muse (Showbiz and pre-Showbiz) did sound like early radiohead sometimes but both bands have really branched off with their own sounds. Every good band takes a few years to develop a unique sound.

[IndianaJoel93]

lol was that the infamous preformance where dom and chris swapped instruments, and matt started waving his arms about instead of playing piano and rolling around on the floor with his gtar?

[RaTeDRKOdwyer94]

lol cheers mate

[pok282]

The R word!

[thaliemiel]

That's so tteen to say "31 is old" !

Aging is in your head Lolita

But look at Iggy Pop and tell me he's not one of the coolest m***** F***ing rocker in the world !

He could kick a lot of so-called young rockers ass, couldn't he ? ;op

And he is really arriving in a dangerous age area ! lol ;o)

You rock or you don't it's a fatality !!

I don't understand what Ninaylor meant by "sensible", talking about Matt ?

I mean as a french girl; I may misunderstand the use of it here ?...

[IndianaJoel93]

wtf Muse sound nothing like radiohead

[FrederickThePie]

So that's how Matt's hair got red :O

I'm dyeing mine that colour tomorrow :D

[ZimDanaFoxDanRunoBB]

the interveiwer dude scared me at the end when he tilted his head and said "New Born" Lol

[GOR225]

Haha, the interviewer is a prick, he just sits there with that stupid face, not laughing at any of their jokes, but it just makes it funnier when Matt goes 'think he's got a problem with a lot of things if you know what I mean', and then the interviewer just sits there and moves on...

[sparkish808]

DAMN. Matt's kicks are FANTASTIC!

[Amberalbion]

Josie! How old is this interview?!

[beadycat]

@Amberalbion

Circa 2001.

[guitichie99]

@beadycat So Matt was 23.... maaaaaan.

[beadycat]

@guitichie99

Yeah. Mmm-mmm.

[xbloodybitchx]

Scott mills - look at his trousers!

[PlugInBaby00]

And i don't think Muse sounds like Radiohead at all... Radiohead actually kinda puts me to sleep. This interviewer was a jack ass

[babyxdanii101]

i saw Radiohead headline at Leeds, people left, they were absolutely shit, only reson i didnt leave was because my friend was asleep on the floor. Muse on the other hand, They dont win best live act for nothing :) x

[PlugInBaby00]

Since I saw Muse live I haven't been able to listen to anyone else, think about anything else, or do anything else with my time other than watch muse videos... so incredible. I loved them before I saw them live but now I'm just like blown away. Love Dom and Matts hair here!

[fallreflections08]

@PlugInBaby00 haha same, i saw them in msg on 3/5 and for a straight 2 1/2 weeks i've listened to nothing else. only now am i getting back into other stuff :)

[Bullen150]

@PlugInBaby00 that's how it's been for me! i loved them before the wembley show. but now!!! my family thinks im insane!

[muserelations123]

i miss the old Matt..when he died his hair...now he's getting damn old

[beadycat]

I'm 9 years older than Matt, and I don't consider myself to be 'damn old' :0P

[Ninaylor]

@beadycat I don´t think he´s old, but he got so damn ... sensible? If you know, what I mean? I miss his braces and colored hair and guitar-throwing, the screaming, vein-painted, crazy, I-fuck-off-your-opinion-Matt :(

[babyxdanii101]

Babe if you think about it, watching a lot of their stuff, their just 30 year old children :D And tbh, hair is hair, i like his natural colour better, plus the more you dye your hair, the faster it turns grey. Although 50 year old children would be sooo funny, they've got to grow up sometime. Dont you think? xx

[Xlella]

@muserelations123 wtf? damn old?

[Alienora1000]

@muserelations123 He's 31 now... Wooo, it's damn old! lol

Besides, would you really like to see an old man like him die his hair in red?!

[meganclark1111]

lol at 2:54

[ExEurasian]

haha you hear matt just groan when he heard bout them bein compared to radiohead, haha what a shit interviewer

[Basisforstace]

i will admit i didnt pay much attention to muse because of their success and i dont tend to listent to mainstream music but i saw them live a week ago and my mind was blown. These guys are the real deal. I feel lucky to of bore wittness to their genius..

[beadycat]

I first saw them live in November 2006, and I literally couldn't form a coherent sentence for three days...

[Basisforstace]

@beadycat check out my profile me thinks you might like some of my vids they arent filmed the best but his voice and talent comes through clear as a heart attack..

[beadycat]

Will do, cheers! :0)

[nirewolf0]

whoa that interviewer *was* kind of a dick. I mean, is it really necessary to bring up shit like that?? "oh, does it annoy you when people compare you to radiohead?" they should have been like "wtf do you think asshole?" ...but I really liked how they handled it. Muse is awesome, 100 times better than Radiohead in my opinion (but then again they are completely different kinds of music), and Matt's red hair is so sexy!!

[TheChrissette]

A "Radiohead Tribute Band"???What the freak!? Muse rocks my socks!

[chibishade]

@TheChrissette i know, i bet Kelly Jones shat his pants when he heard OOS >:P

[IndianaJoel93]

I dont get how anyone can say Muse sound like Radiohead, they fit into completly different genres, Radiohead are melodic indie and Muse are hard rock/alternative rock/electronic rock/symphonic rock

[MightyHoodMan]

I wish i could wake up with red hair. :o

[deadlydiesirae]

scott mills LMFAO

[TeoTorriate]

haha, yeah, but I don't think it's a secret that it sounds a bit Queenie, though ;). Matt actually said it was like a big "Queen chord" or something, which was exactly what I'd though from the first moment I heard it.

[TeoTorriate]

How in the world does New Born sound like Bohemian Rhapsody? I'm a Queen fan as well, and I've never, ever made any kind of connection between those songs xD. The only one I've felt has a real Queen moment in it is United States Of Eurasia.. for like 2 seconds or something ;p

[beadycat]

I have to agree with you on all counts :0)

[BenjiBren]

yeah where it goes 'there can be only one'?

[TeoTorriate]

exactly :)

[challywallly]

"i woke up red" brilliant xD

[specbarn111]

I LOVE his red hair =D + hes got one of the most powerful voises i ever heard ^^

[LoveToMuse]

okay, i just notice something...he says that they sound like radiohead and then that new born sound like boheimen rhapsody...queen and radiohead sounds nothing like eachother...and i would say that new born is a kind of muses " way of beeing" in music, you know what i mean? well, what he says dosent make any sence to me.

[19ERIKA85]

I miss matt's red hair :(

[BunnyLooney]

lol if you just stopped at 2:25 you'll see that Matt and Dom have got the same eyes and eyebrows, and they can raise them so high if they want to =P

[rosario334e]

matt with red hair = sex!!!!

[lifehouselover16]

I feel like someone in everyband goes through a red hair stage, Mike Shinoda from LIkin Park, Billjoe Armstrong from Greenday and Matt hhaaha they are song young here

[anaid5387]

i would always gonna remember origin of symmetry period with matt having red hair. cheers!

[Mkamalid]

btw..i totally agree with the video description..interviewer is a dick..but meh :d

[PwoperMuser13]

From now on I do not like kelly jones- even though I never umm, knew who he was.

Is he in stereophonics?

I dont understan how newborn sounds like the queen song though. {I cant spell it}. XD

[beadycat]

Kelly Jones (yes, Stereophonics) is a cock. I would say that even if I wasn't a Muser.

[Mkamalid]

I don't know who he is..but,....that guy just lost...ummm..27, 102 fans from this intreview :D

[PwoperMuser13]

I think Matt looks awesome with red hair but I agree its better black or brown.

[chelsealove96]

i dont rele like the way matt looks with red hair he looks hotter with black hair :)

[SchwarzWeissGraz]

Have a look at Matt shoes, weird anyway :D

[TheOnlyLollypop]

"I woke up red" :DD

[MyMelon13]

matt : "thats an insult to bohemian rhapsody in my opinion.." and chris an dom crack up. Matt always seems to think that other artists are better than him... its not true matthew, its not true

[biggitykilla]

LOOK AT MATT'S HAIR hahahah

[bettyboofen]

haha muse like radiohead? newborn like bohemion rhapsody?!!! pile of SH*TT!!!!

[MissHysteriaPlease]

haha Matt's reaction to the parties i so funny!! and "cheers mate" is a nice way to say "fuck you" xD

[PlurSaveTheRave]

Kelly Jones is just pissed off because he sounds like Rod Stewart.

Stereophonics are shit.

Muse are incredible.

[torpedoboy300]

Fuck yeah. Fuck radiohead. Whoever said that they sounded like them needs to get a new pair ears and then go out and get shot.

[SvenIsHere]

matt with red hair = brilliant xD also, New Born and Bohemian Rhapsody sounding similar? Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullshit

[SophiaaCullen16]

isnt the interviewer scott mills?

[pokabeb]

The interviewer seems biased,pissed off, and seems like he doesn't want to be there. Too bad I couldn't take his place.

[micaelams1]

GOD THE INTERVIEWER IS A DICK! lol... they just wanna laugh and he's like -_-

[awsomestuffbyme]

I dont like that iterveiwer, hes so dull.

and i HATE when people compare muse to radiohead!!! OMG!!! argggggggggg

[4leafmetal]

Yeah, I know, right?!?!?!

The interviewer was a total dick!!!

And you could see and hear that it hit a nerve in Matt B. whenever the guy asked him that stupid question...

Just let 'em be themselves!

MUSE ROCKS!!!

[Hysteria150]

muse is the best band EVER!! <3 why does chris never talk? D:

[LoveBonan923]

"And i woke up red" hahahaha!xD<3

Love Matts red hair!!<33

[irrevocablybemused]

Haha - funny how the interviewer is like "Which of these comparisons currently annoys you most 1) that you sound a bit like Radiohead ..." And Matt makes this groaning sound. :) haha

I really hate how indie rock bands are always being compared with Radiohead, I mean I really like Radiohead too, but they can't just copywrite an entire genre, it is just not right...

Now comparing muse to Radiohead is just completely ridiculous. They have their own sound, they are so unique, I love them! <3

[LeaveMeAlone9]

Muse isn't an indie band, though...

[irrevocablybemused]

Yeah youre right. But you get my point right?

Tricky to place Muse under a genre though, they are influenced by so many different types of music. '

I watched an interview earlier today where Matt was asked to describe their style and he was like: [its] a combination of modern rock combined with an appreciation for the history of the evolution of music you know?

Haha classic Matt, but it really is hard describe.. I guess thats why we love them eh?

[LeaveMeAlone9]

But indie isn't a genre.

Indie is short for independent, which means not on a label.

[irrevocablybemused]

I know what the origin of the word is, but I mean according to wiki for example the term is often used to describe the means of production and distribution of independent underground music, as well as the style of music that was first associated with this means of production.

And yeah Muse probably does not fit into this catagory, but this wasn't the point I was trying to make though...

[LeaveMeAlone9]

Wikipedia isn't always right, either.

[irrevocablybemused]

Whatever...

[bonfirejovi]

@LeaveMeAlone9 the meaning has changed, the old meaning for 'hipster' was a subculture in the 1940s.

[Utangel17]

"Now comparing muse to Radiohead is just completely ridiculous. They have their own sound, they are so unique, I love them! <3"

now i agree with you wholeheartedly. they are so unique, and how about comparing Matt with Thom Yorke...wtf?? people who say that are jealous or what, sorry but Matt is much more talented and genius

[irrevocablybemused]

Agreed, Matt is such a multitalented artist, its insane. And his modesty just makes him even more admirable..

[987654321Blastoff3]

lol, u are completly right!

[Lily161]

"i woke up red" LOL !!!

[OriginOfStarlight]

Oh yeah, the good old times.. The days when they didn't know that they'll get this successful ;)

[mattkingnz]

i dont think the interviewer is a dick

[hikupoopoo]

they shit on radiohead hahahahahahah and radiohead is good

[cyssougreenport]

"Cheers mate ! " haha they're awesome !

[ibanezjack]

isnt this the performance that they took the piss on cuz they had to mime haha XD

[Kitty6764]

fantastic parties in Devon LOL!

[shaddywick216]

Chris looks black haha

[alexclose11]

radiohead tribute....hahaha

stupid welsh prick

[missfirefox1996]

top of the pop's ... HOW OLD

=D

[scraftonthebadger]

wow scott mills is a gay prick.

[PrettyVacant91]

OMG it's Scott Mills. =O =D hehe.

[DieToFeelAlive]

haha the interviewer is such a dork! " I hear you have FANTASTIC partys at home in Devon" and Matt just laughs in his face lol!

[JJisunique]

Matt you're cute :P

[yoshigura]

fun interview indeed :) in what year was this interview done actually?

[beadycat]

2001ish I think.

[wue2117]

yea well he's (Matt) got the red hair that he had in the video for Bliss. so whenever that came out

[546046]

Chris never talks =/

[qxtctv]

It's only Scott Fucking Mills.

Man i hate that guy.

[YouSWETube]

no, I don't mean 2.23, thanks anyway :P, but i mean 2.21 :P i just can't hear what he's saying :P

[YouSWETube]

seems like someone is doing a fart-sound (or a real fart! :O ;)) at 1.45 :P

What is matt saying at 2.21? And what is the interviewer asking at 3.02? And what is matt answering? Hard to hear :S So Cheers! :)

HAHA it so funny when the interviewer asks about if they have nice parties in Devon xD He's like trying to look cool and into a lot of parties but he just looks a bit dorky to me atleast ;P

[beadycat]

I think Chris did the 'fart' sound...

2:21 - 'there was always talk, of things being bigger than they really are, but it's just talk'"

HTH :0)

[YouSWETube]

haha yeah, i think it's chris too! ;P
