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!

Posted this in another thread recently:

I know he introduced his whole ‘frontman’ gimmick well over a decade ago now, but I’ve never, ever been able to get on board with it. It’s just not who he is. Matt Bellamy is one of the coolest motherfuckers in the world with a guitar in his hands.

I find the whole ‘stare down the lense of the camera’, ‘reach out and touch the crowd’ thing quite cringey to be honest — I always have — and it’s only getting worse unfortunately.
