Matthew Bellamy

Last week, I spoke to Muse's front man Matthew Bellamy about the band's new album, The Resistance. The full interview will be up tomorrow, but here is an excerpt from it, in which he discusses how Muse ended up on the soundtrack for New Moon, and he also discuss his new film project, Clash of the Titans:National Post: You have a song on the new Twilight film. Are you a fan? Matt Bellamy: Well, I liked The Lost Boys in the '80s. I remember that...  

In addition to crafting songs for his own band, Matthew Bellamy also penned a track called "Soaked" for Adam Lambert's major-label debut album "For Your Entertainment". A 30-second clip of the song is currently made available for stream ...  

After seeing Muse open for U2 last week, I've been listening to their songs quite a bit. This morning, I came across an interview with lead singer Matthew Bellamy. He claims that the current album was inspired partly from reading--I'm not making this up!--Zbigniew Brzezinski.  

  With their blend of prog-rock and fist-raising anthems, British band Muse have been filling stadiums for years in Europe. With the release of The Resistance, their fifth, and most challenging and versatile record to date, the band has taken the top spot in the Canadian charts and finally cracked the North American market. Brad Frenette spoke to Muse's lead singer, Matthew Bellamy, on the phone from Washington between stops on the U2 360...  

An e-mailer informs me that Muse singer Matthew Bellamy is the son of George Bellamy, who played guitar in the 1960s band the Tornados, a group whose smash-hit "Telstar" was a favorite song of -- I'm not making this up, either! -- Margaret Thatcher. UPDATE: Jeez o'Pete! According to this, Matt Bellamy thinks 9/11 was an inside job.
