Matt Bellamy of Muse Blasts Society 'Structures'
Matt Bellamy has blasted the ''structures'' keeping people ''in place'' within society.
Muse think young people are ''born into bondage''
The conspiracy theory-loving rockers feel younger generations are oppressed by subtle means, and hope their music finds its way to an audience who willing to question society's norms.
Frontman Matt Bellamy said: ''The structures keeping people in place these days are days are far more covert and coercive: Advertising, the media, the way corporations and governments function and so on.
''A lot of young people are born into bondage and don't necessarily know it. I'd like to think our songs have some influence on people who feel they don't want to fall in with everything.''
The 'Uprising' rocker feels his group are keeping up a ''tradition'' among bands of making young people think and question what's around them.
He added to Classic Rock magazine: ''I do feel we are keeping up that tradition, that it's the job of bands, musicians, artists in general to at least shed light on things people might not be aware of.
''I wouldn't pretend we're the starting point, but in combination with other artists out there, I think we collectively influence other people to come up with new ways of thinking. And they're the ones who will form policies in the future.''

I still think I listen to Black Holes and Revelations the most but I love that and everything before it. I think the only song I enjoy from Resistance is MK Ultra. 2nd Law is just a mess but I LOVE Madness.
gtfo
But OoS is my favorite! and ia about the fans, most of Muse fans are so annoying ugh
anyway, no lies detected in your comment

ia btw, it just bothers me because okay, it's just an opinion when you say it for one album (BHAR) but it becomes annoying when it's the same argument over and over again every time they release an album. If they like Radiohead so much then why don't they go listen to Radiohead instead and stop buying Muse records, they just sound pathetic and whiny...
On another note, this year's tour stage was the best one I've ever seen.
It's everyone's personal opinion whether they've gotten 'better' or 'worse', but they're certainly 'different'. And I'm not a big fan of their 'different' sound.
But I understand why fans whine, and I don't really blame them. When you absolutely love a band and ALL their releases for ten or twelve years, I think you're allowed to express disappointment when they have a new release that personally disappoints you. I was crushed when TR came out, because I'd been so excited, and for me it was a complete disappointment. I hate that album with a burning, fiery passion. I don't give a shit about being "cool". I've never even considered it possible to be a Muse fan concerned with being "cool". But then, I've never gotten involved with the 'fandom'. I just really, really loved their music for a number of years, and now I don't, and that makes me sad.
I do agree T2L is an improvement over TR, but I still think they could have reeled it in a bit, and I think the singles are atrocious.
2nd law is really really great, imo. i'm pumped to see em at the staples centre next week!
That said, Matt's a huge megalomaniac, that bit is true lmao
I guess that's where the megalomania comes in! :-)
