EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Matt & Dom From Muse On The KROQ Couch
If you happen to be in one of the biggest bands in the world and haven’t stopped touring for months and months and finally have a vacation, what would you do?
Well Matt Bellamy and Dom Howard stopped by KROQ and we had a little chat. We drank Red Bull and coffee, talked Lakers, Silver Lake, live shows, and Matt did his impression of “Rock” music in 1999… think KORN meets Limp Bizkit. Errrachachacha!
These guys are talented and so cool. It’s a great combo.

The best concert I’ve gone is the one that muse perform here in Colombia! Muse is the best band ever, it’s so complete and all of them are so talented…. awesome…
also.. funny comparation between Matt’s voice and the Korn or Limp Bizkit sound…..this interview made my day! Thank you!

Too bad Korn’s music is nothing like that of Limp Bizkit’s and that impression wasn’t in any way, shape, form or fashion even remotely close to resembling even an inkling of Korn’s music.

Muse is the best band in the world!! I cant wait to see them on the 26th!

Muse is great. It took me a while to get to like them, but now, it’s nothing but love.

Interviewer: “This is Matt and that is Dom, they are 66 % of the greatest band MUSE”… is Morgan the remaining 1 % then? Sad.

Nice way to cheat there Matt, looking at the MotP answer.. we forgive you though, that pout face you made when Dom said one-nil was priceless.
Love the fact you lend three songs to Twilight but know virtually nothing about it.. Just say you’re Team Alice and you’re all good, Bella is too irritating as a lead character.
Santa Monica and Venice Beach are the best places to chill, you should try I Cugini for lunch or dinner, best fresh and local seafood and Italian in the area!
See you guys in October!

Many English dudes are cold-blooded & lacking warmth but these 2 are cheerio. I bet Kate Hudson is doing a good job keeping a smile on Matt’s face! Can’t wait for the shows in September.
Now U2 will have to move over again as far as the biggest band in the world title is concerned. Coldplay and NOW MUSE are on the scene!

Aw…they’re adorable (even Stryker). Dom seems a little quieter and sad than normal. It’s probably hard having Kate Hudson come between them.

“Talented and cool”-yeah, that describes these guys, all right. Awesome interview. They seem so incredibly nice, like guys you could just hang out with.
“What’s the girl’s name?” and “Emotional beefcakes”: Best answers ever
. And U2 talk! Woo!

I wish Chris could be in these interviews. I would love to see what he has to say. None the less, Matt and Dom are just brilliant.
Dom has to be my favorite. He has been and always will be. <3
I love Matt too, but Dom more. XD
I would have given anything to have been there. I've been trying desperatley to win tickets.
I'll enter soundcheck contest thing. I hope it's trivial 'cause I know everything there is to be known!
All in all, great interview. Made my day. (Nice job on that cheat there, Matt.
)

Well, whether you realize it or not, it certainly wasn’t Korn he was doing an impression of. Anyone who has listened to Korn would know this.
