Me and my bloke
are going to have Muse's cover of You're Just Too Good To Be True so we can have a romantic soppy dance at the beginning and then a bit of a mosh when the guitars start.

Although people will probably think it's because my boyfriend looks like Matt Bellamy.

Can he do a convincing falsetto mid-coitus?
If so, I'm coming over
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:27, Reply)

unfortunately not.
He wanted to learn guitar, so I bought him a Muse tab book, but he hasn't touched it. My friends tell me I probably shouldn't try and morph him into Matt Bellamy, lest he think I'm only with him for that reason!

When he was at the Reading festival a few years back Muse were about to play and he was in the pit near the front, people suddenly started looking at him, thinking it was Matt making a stage entrance from the crowd. I lolled.

My girlfriend's been trying to morph me into Fred Astaire for years
Now there's a debate for the ages. Bellamy or Astaire? I'm stunningly confident that I'm the first person ever to suggest that
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 10:41, Reply)

Imagine if Bellamy and Astaire combined
like a Sexy Morphin Power Ranger.

If I found a man who could play an epic guitar solo behind his neck whilst dancing a flawless Foxtrot
I'd be quite surprised to say the least

And then bum him

I'll get me guitar and dancing shoes.

I was thinking the same
I haven't played a guitar solo behind my head for quite some time now...

I'm still waiting for the day I open my eyes at a gig to find I've been playing one with a foot up on the monitor and gurning

you need to bear in mind
that while Matt Bellamy may be a talented guitarist and pianist etc. he is also a massively pretentious helmet and dickhead.

True
but in a really sexy way
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 11:01, Reply)

I heard he has become a psycho recluse
when he's not on tour and he thinks aliens are coming to get us.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 11:50, Reply)

He's a fucking spastic
and his band are shit.

they used to do some decent stuff
but sadly every one of their songs is now the same combination of gay hand claps and over-produced, over-effected rubbish.

also, they come from a shithole
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 11:23, Reply)

They're one of the only vaguely inventive mainstream bands this bloody country has produced in about a decade
Although I'll concede they've disappeared into a cul-de-sac of their own creation marked "Prog rock hell" in recent years
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 11:24, Reply)

it is a real shame that they have gone that way
as they did show some promise.

I fucking love prog rock, but the stuff they are doing now is dull and repetitive.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 11:26, Reply)

Agreed
Such a shame. The new album managed to rip off Queen, Radiohead, Blondie, Depeche Mode and the Doctor Who theme int he first four songs. Points for influence, not for originality
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 11:29, Reply)

and was exactly the same as their previous work
but slightly worse

for prog rock these days you should be checking out Bigelf's Cheat the Gallows and Pure Reason Revolution's Cautionary Tales for the Brave.

I'm not allowed any more music
until I've MP3'd everything I own.

Every time I learn something new it pushes old stuff out of my brain
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 4 Mar 2010, 11:35, Reply)

I do kind of agree
I used to love Muse so much, but their recent stuff that's made it onto the radio has made them a bit rubbish, it's like every song has to be epic.

Their set at the Leeds festival a few years back on the sunday night when it was raining biblically is still the best live act I've ever seen though. There were lasers and shit. And the rain made it feel like we were in a music video. Although I was wearing a white shirt which wasn't very opaque by the end.

Damn
My innate maleness has distracted me from the serious discussion taking place above the words "rain", "white shirt" and "corsetier"

Avoid 'mainstream' and 'modern' and you'll be fine.

This is all Oasis' fault
There was actual, "new", "exciting" music being made in Britain in the early 90's until they killed creativity stone fucking dead
