It's like 'if that's true, we're in for a hard ride'. The things that make me panic now are some of the conspiracy theories that I think about. I try to keep all the stuff away from complete hocus pocus. Well, we do get some beserk types following us around, New Age types who'll turn up with crystals and tarot cards, but that's not what I'm really into. Now that you're talking about conspiracies and politics are you attracting more crackpot fans? In the world we live in I'd rather be out of the ordinary than ordinary because to be ordinary is to be part of a system that is very corrupt.
I think people see me as slightly 'out there', but I think that's a good place to be. But I read some stuff online if I get sent links. I don't really get magazines and papers sent to me in Italy (Bellamy lives with his girlfriend near Lake Como, in the north of the country).
Magazines like to paint you as a wierd guy: do you recognise yourself in articles you read? The more observant Muse fans among the 80,000 strong crowd would have noticed frontman Matt Bellamy's t-shirt bore the words 'Terror Storm'.not the name of an obscure metal band, but rather the title of a controversial documentary by US film-maker Alex Jones, offering an alternate look at the US government's 'War on Terror'.īellamy's endorsement of the film is all the more striking at the time when most major rock stars are loathe to voice political opinions of any kind, but then with songs on Muse's current 'Black Holes and Revelations' album addressing alien invasions, media mind control and political corruption, Matt Bellamy has never been a 'regular' rock star. On August 26, Muse headlined the Reading leg of the Carling Weekend festival, a show the band themselves considered to be the high point of their career to date. Matt Bellamy on media lies, government cover-ups and why '9/11 was an inside job'. Originally transcribed by James 'sunburnt_atheist' on.
