Matt Bellamy on Prince, 'Full Metal Jacket,' RATM & Muse's Biggest Influences | SiriusXM

[sharpant]

One of the most talented musicians of our generation. Find me someone else with his vocal / guitar ability and his song writing prowess. I'll wait.

[paulhems]

Still one of the best bands in the world. Very underrated.

[arnavpiscesxtream]

i love the fact that Matt is so self-aware and doesn't take himself too seriously, that's why I think Muse has been such a fluidic band all these years

[chaz__]

Matt seems like the kind of guy who could talk to you about music and conspiracy theories for many hours. He sounds like he has a proper personality which you don't often see in entertainment.

[fixtechstuff]

I like how he’s an actual human explaining the creative process, unlike other musicians with a ridiculous facade, pretending to be some kind of enigma.

[steven]

Matt talking about how he thought and made his music just blew my mind

[monkeychu]

The BEST live band I’ve ever seen. I’ll never forget that show.

[kpsig]

It has been so long since we saw a healthy, sober, happy band leader.

[mr.smithgnrsmith]

Absolution is a modern rock n roll masterpiece…whole album blew my 19 yr old mind at the time

[MnkeyMetal]

I met him in London 4 years ago. He is as nice and humble and he looks on this video. Really nice lad, we had a chat about music and life. Best day ever!

[janinesanders]

It’s funny how back in the day when the 2nd law was released I really hated their sound “because I wanted the old Muse sound”. But after all these years of getting more excited about each album as I turn older, it’s actually really awesome they just do so many experimental stuff in albums! 🤗

[chalkywhite]

Their ability to adapt and change styles is exactly why they are one of the best groups in my opinion, the stage shows are also something to behold!

[PhilSmythMusic]

Seen them on most tours now and it's just an incredible live show that gets bigger and better. They are totally where they deserve to be.

[Tiger.]

So thankful that Matt did not fall down the slope of losing himself and control to the point of losing him too early, which has been a sad tragedy of many of the most visible front men that were born around the same time and similar genre. And coupling that with the consistent ability to churn out solid and unique music over such a long time. Without a doubt one of the greatest, if not the greatest, rock bands over the past 20 years.

[joethelion]

I was obsessed with Muse for a while, I played the same 4 CDs over and over. His vocals, the lyrics, melodies, musicality and production was just phenomenal

[Cats-dd]

In my opinion, one of the most talented musicians around using talent as opposed to machines. However, he certainly is not your typical stereotype rocker. He's a class of his own in Rock music.

[nugget]

Matt keeps saying that The 2nd Law had clarinet solos but it's actually from The Resistance lol

[jackkofroth]

Matt is insanely talented. Muse is just awesome!!!

[donaldquirk]

No false humility or bravado in someone that talented. That's so cool.

[th_chf]

Seeing Muse live last night for the first time ever since it was my first ever concert....has changed my life,
especially seeing them from the Pit it was bliss.

Matt, Chris and Dom are simply divine.
