The band's two-fingered salute to the establishment endeared themselves to a whole generation of disenchanted youths who had already lived through two Gulf Wars and the trauma of 9/11.
That annoyed me. I'm not disenchanted. And I haven't met any other Muse fans that are disenchanted either.

Unfortunately, there seems to be the prevailing stereotype that Muse fans fit the stereotype of "disenchanted youths", probably since the days of OOS. Muse have said before though that (perhaps until recently, and even with the exception of more obvious songs like Starlight and Invincible) their music really doesn't "fit in" with most of the stuff on the radio, and so they can see why it'd appeal to those who aren't satisfied with most of the other popular bands out there.
Just to overanalyse that statement a bit. Heh.

 Nice analysing! I suppose you're right about Muse not fitting in with what is on the radio, and that Muse is probably a musical resort for people who are dissatisfied with the mainstream.
But the impression I got from that quote is that the article makes it seem like all the Muse fans are just depressed and disenchanted teenage masses. It's just a bad generalisation I think.
After all, this site is evident that we all have different personalities and views on things, and, well, we pretty much all share nothing in common apart from loving Muse!

That's a great article. Chris really should be Muse's spokesperson. He is BY FAR the best at interviews.
Not saying Matt should go out throwing tantrums and make long speeches at gigs because I'm sure they love the low profile image they have. But I think that this (headlining huge festivals but not being recognized in the street, for instance) is in big part because Matt in many ways isn't a typical frontman.
if chris martin wasnt married to gwynnie, and david beckham was married to suzanna globden, the cleaning lady from chipping sodbury secondary school, and bells was shagging someone famous, then muse would get a lot more attention. but at the moment, because they are only famous for their music, thats why they are famous. no real reason for the papps to papp them.
its one of the reasons travis didnt stay as huge as they did. five years ago (or more) travis were HUUUUUUGE in the UK. bigger than coldplay by a country mile. but fran healy, or any other memeber of the band didnt date supermodels. so the tabloids lost interest.
then coldplay came along, chris and gwynnie shacked up, and would you believe it? hello sun, hello mirror, hello news of the world.
i think muse are happy with their current popularity somehow.
and as for chris' interviews, i like the scarcity. it keeps it fresh, since HE doesnt get too bored of the questions, he doesnt give boring answers.
you always get good value from him.

RE: "Even Starlight, for example, there were six or seven different versions of it, and sometimes it's really difficult to work out which one's the best. "

Good old Chris  I like his interviews, as many other people have said, he sounds like an intelligent guy. They all do, really. Nice change from some of the mainstream bands at the moment!
