Nattatouille Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 ^It's true. Music now doesn't have the backing; but then sometimes I wonder whether you really do need money to make art and really fantastic music. Some of the best albums of 2011/12 for me have been those just starting out which have the tiniest labels and the least monetary backing going. I remember wanting to learn guitar at school, and the piano, but we couldn't afford it. So I've grown up with a love of music but absolute no skills or talent in it at all (admittedly I am trying o teach myself guitar). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've grown up with a love of music but absolute no skills or talent in it at all (admittedly I am trying o teach myself guitar). I was lucky that I had a teacher like Chris Martin had, who let us go and play on the keyboards in school, with no other goal than to "make music". It's from there that I formed a band, and five years later, we play our penultimate show tonight. And it's true that you don't always need money, but how many bands, releasing their debut records today, would be dropped, thanks to low sales/poor acclaim? Blur, Muse, The Beatles, Nirvana, Kings of Leon, U2, Pulp, Radiohead, Beck, Primal Scream, Jay-Z, Led Zeppelin... for every Stone Roses/Arctic Monkeys/Oasis, I'd say you have four bands who don't quite get it right. Some just need a big tour, time and the right producer to gel together into the band they'll be known as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 They released more gifs on Twitter. I'm intrigued. Very keen on the video. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattatouille Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Their gif spam killed my poor phone. I am quite excited to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I was thinking earlier, and you know there are a couple of discarded track titles that haven't made The 2nd Law? What if - and this is a long shot - they've done the Bond theme for Skyfall? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 It would have to be a mix of Butterflies and Hurricanes and Knights of Cydonia; rock-pomp and classical craziness in equal measure. Of course, they've probably missed the boat for this one though :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 That's the Kitara isn't it? I think they said in an interview recently that Chris uses it for Madness. Oh that's what a kitara is? Now why did I think it was an African, percussive instrument? :inquisitive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Video's up, and it sucks I just wanted to be the first on the bandwagon of hatred [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek0SgwWmF9w&list=UUGGhM6XCSJFQ6DTRffnKRIw&index=0&feature=plcp]Muse - Madness - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nattatouille Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I actually find the video quite cool in parts... It was better than I expected at any rate. But the song is still so disappointing. There are some Musers on my T/L and Facebook that are all like SHGYTG7BF BEST THING EVUR and I just can't cope with them.

shred Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The video was pretty much what I expected. It suits the song so I like it. Still don't get the Madness hate. Hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrk Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The video is quite cool but I still don't like the song. Also, am I the only who finds hilarious that Matt is actually singing the ma-ma-ma-ma-madness parts in the video? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
