I'm not a Muse fan but I read that NME guff in an entirely different way. It seemed to me more like Bellamy admitting that he'd struggled writing the string section for 'Whatever 2.0' but didn't want to get someone else in to do it for him. Not bragging but rather apologising about it not being finished yet. Have Muse fans heard him boring on about this song before?<BR/><BR/>Also, I might well be wrong but I honestly think the use of "symphony" is just because Bellamy didn't know how else to describe a tediously long rock dirge with added strings, rather than because he's trying to position himself as the heir to Mahler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-47720359420446197352008-11-26T20:33:00.000+00:002008-11-26T20:33:00.000+00:00You don't think it's possible for a band to do int...You don't think it's possible for a band to do interesting things without deliberately creating an over-elaborate approach <I>and then telling everyone how clever they've been</I>?Simon Hayes Budgenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084524317888577404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-65408823409230180612008-11-26T15:38:00.001+00:002008-11-26T15:38:00.001+00:00PS .. they're both shitPS .. they're both shitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930103.post-77419524830240020212008-11-26T15:38:00.000+00:002008-11-26T15:38:00.000+00:00U2 don't try hard enough, Muse try too hard!
