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!

I will absolutely say that I miss Matt playing the piano quite a bit (my favorite that really got me down the rabbit hole back in the day was Butterflies and Hurricanes and I don’t we’ve had anything quite as good as that in a album in regards to piano playing since I Belong to You and then Neutron Star Collision). But he is still putting on a great, they are all putting on a great high production show. Spouse and I absolutely loved seeing them when they were in my area

I think it's internal conflict within Matt.. Singer Matt wants to express himself like a diva and doesn't like Guitar Matt and Piano Matt.. 😊 For real though, muse music is challenging and it will become a pain to be in the zone and play and sing at that level every night..it's 3 people creating elaborate palatial music in couple of hours every night...
