MUSE - RESISTANCE IS FUTILE

Muse

The apocalypse is coming. Resistance is futile. Preparing for the planet's impending doom, a hungover Matt Bellamy is safe in the knowledge that he has a larder stocked with 50 tins of baked beans and an axe. There are those who thought Muse could get no more OTT and their singer Matt Bellamy no stranger. They were wrong. On the eve of the release of The Resistance, the highly anticipated new album from the extravagant rockers, Q Magazine delves inside the eccentric mind of Muse frontman, Matt Bellamy.

We delve into homocidal vikings, alien abductees and a gentleman who worshipped a banana. How much duller the world would be without the mad folk of music...

 

RICK RUBIN

An audience with the man who rebirthed Johnny Cash and Red Hot Chili Peppers, first brought hip hop to the masses, and owns one of the Great Beards In Rock.

 

200 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE BEATLES

  • Hi. I read most of your magazines but are horrified that you haven't even mention that this is the day Freddie Mercury died. one of best vocalist ever. and even though I'm a hardcore fan, I find that no music magazine bothers to write something about it. nothing.. and that dissapoints me as a musiclover
