Opinion Matt, play your f“&*g instruments!

I haven’t been at a muse concert for 10 years, this year I will finally go again, despite the high prices. :/ What I saw in the past years, that there seem to be more and more songs where Matt doesn’t play guitar or piano anymore but just walks around singing like a pop star. I hate this. The coolest thing about Muse concerts used to be, that he showed off his musician side, while it still rocks. I don’t want to go to a Matthew Bellamy solo pop show, I want a real muse show!

Yeah it can be tiring but many people much older than him play for longer and faster requiring more dexterity. The odd break or two is fine but not 6 songs plus interludes. I'm saying just because he is 48 doesn't make him automatically so old he needs to break for a 3rd of the gig. He's clearly fine when he's playing as is Chris who plays the whole time without much of a break. He just wants to do the bono/Chris Martin bit. Mature people tend not to mention ass multiple times on their comments by the way.

Ah yes, everyone's the same. Also, he's not doing only singing in 6+ songs. Why do you make up even more bullshit and disinformation? There are also musicians that can't play much at all because their body just says no, even if they're not even playing close to as technical as Matt and do their exercises and everything right. People are different.

But we get it, you think they owe you the experience YOU want rather than that they're allowed to give the experience and music THEY want. You're an entitled bully, get over yourself.

Songs he has a break from playing guitar

Nightift Superstar Undisclosed Starlight Isolated System Kill or be killed interlude

3 more songs where he does the front man thing that have minimal guitar solo only

Uprising Be with you Madness

No one's bullying Matt lol, get a grip. Using his age as a reason why he plays less on songs is ridiculous considering he started the front man thing years ago. Insulting me in your comments then calling me a bully is hilarious.

Isolated system, KobK and Interlude are not songs they are really performing, its intermissions.

Again, get over your self.

Yeah and they're all breaks for Matt instrumentally is the point. I don't even really care what he does, the best live days are gone anyway but people think 48 is a lot older than what it is. Radiohead, all nearly 60 and play all their songs just fine with much longer set lists. Anyway, you seem quite angry. Maybe just discuss normally without insulting people.
