Muse Shoot For The Stars

2011-01-04 by Observer EMERITUS | 107 Comments
According to frontman Matt Bellamy, Muse hope to play some concerts in outerspace sometime in the future. Bellamy states that he hopes to approach British tycoon Richard Branson, the current builder of the Virgin Galactic rocket plane that will carry passengers into space within the next decade, sometime soon about his concert ideas.

Bellamy remarked concerning the scale of the possible-future concerts, "I guess we’d have to use pods to carry our stuff and we’d scale back the shows a lot. I don’t think the spacecraft is like a Tardis, where we could get everything in we usually have. I do think it will be possible in the future and I’m sure it will happen in my lifetime. We’d love to be part of that. Maybe I’ve seen 'The Jetsons' too many times.”

Tbh I think it's quite refreshing to see a ludicrously pretentious batshit frontman in this day and age. Let's face it music would be a lot less interesting without them.

Also I never said everyone loved them, I was referring those who were fans before The Resistance but now just say that they suck and deny ever liking them.

You see, pre-2009 Muse are one of my favourite ever bands. And because of that, I just want them to split up so they can stop tarnishing their image with this completely illogical pretension and fucking shitty music.

Dear god, had a band like Radiohead or Opeth wanted to play is outer space, most of you guys here would have said it's awesome or something. But here it's Muse, they've released one bad album, that is getting a lot of commercial success, so you guys bring the hate...

No, I'm not a Muse fanboy, I just don't see all the hate, when they've clearly have a pretty consistent discography.

and obviously playing in space would be kind of cool, but it's completely unnecessary and probably
super expensive, and muse are only doing this because they think they're large than life.

Oh no, some users think it's cool to bash those who haven't commented much here, I was just saying I'm not like that"

As for Muse, I'm an advocate of the theory that they're doing this to give something special and unique to their public. Let's just admit that you're right about Matt's ego for a moment. I actually don't mind big egos as long as I like the music.They've made one bad album, if they keep on doing so then I won't be able to stand them, but for now, he can go play in space if he wants, I'm down with that

yah fair enough. It is kind of cool that a band may be playing in space and you're probably right in saying that if it was anyone other than Muse I'd probably be on board. It's just that this is so fitting for Muse in the worst ways possible, like a sitcom or something.

I like muse though (except for their latest which I gave a 2.5).
