Wish he appeared in more interviews, he's always got a lot of interesting things to tell and he seems so incredibly down to earth. Genuinely good interview!
I think you're going to love the first episode of our podcast out now with special guest Chris Wolstenholme. A must watch for all Muse fans, stories of almost 30 years touring the world, tour disasters, early Muse moments and private jet poker games with U2!
of course, for sure, especially when they have only 3 people in the band, they better each other and support each other closely, in terms of sound, music and lives
Will forever be my favorite member of muse. So underrated. Needs more interviews too! His voice is so soothing when he's talking and when he's singing.
ChaosBOBOMB1 I agree with you. Most of the time the bassist is the most talented member of the band. John Paul Jones with Zeppelin, John Entwistle with The Who, Flea with RHCP, and they are also very underated because their bandmates always steal the stoplight expect for Flea, who's as crazy as they come.
I feel Chris is the peacekeeper between dom and mat, and the key to alot of their success and all of them sticking together for as long as they have. Liquid state is one of my favorite songs from 2nd law. Wish they played it more live.
You're right because Matt stated in some interviews that Chris is the one who usually settles the argument between Matt and Dom because both argue a lot. He's like lukewarm water for Muse.
Chris is the fucking man. Whomever belittles Chris obviously hasn't heard and seem them live. The Bass can be felt and it feels like a force of nature. Muse is each three members and no less.Chris brings it all together man. The dude has like five children. That takes a very blessed special person. I love Chris and I love Muse.
He has countless interesting story to tell but it's sad it's his own decision to do less interview. Seriously, I really admire his talent. Looks like he's also a good human to be friend with. I wish he's my friend in real life. Bless you, Chris.
I was just wondering if anyone knows if this amazing, talented man ever talks about his recovery or has ever even spoken about it publicly? He's a true inspiration to so many.
I feel like Chris is overlooked when it comes to people talking to Muse. Obviously Hysteria's bass line is phenomenal, but also "Time is Running Out", "Uprising", "New Born", etc. He's really talented
He appears in a lot more interviews now than he did say 5 years ago. He had struggled with some issues with alcoholism for a couple years, from what I've heard (also the subject matter for Save Me and Liquid State), so I think that could be part of it. But, he seems to be better now and less introverted.
I saw that tour with Muse , Foo Fighters and RHCP.. in Knoxville Tennessee .Muse played in front of a black background and just them and one stage light. I could tell they were going to be huge cause they held their own and sounded and played just as great as the other two bands. Been a fan since. Chris is and has since then been a huge influence on my playing.
I thought I was weird for hearing a similarity between Muse and Pink Floyd since you hardly ever hear people bring those 2 bands up together. Its good to know I'm not the only one who thinks so, Muse and Pink Floyd are my top 2 favorite bands ever.
First time hearing him and i didnt expect him to sound like this. i imagined his voice will be very deep and sexy just the way he sounds like and looks like in the concerts and while his look is the same his voice is a complete opposite. 0_o
it will seem like heresy but i believe Muse work best in a small venue with little to no props or effects. The huge stadium stages are incredibly impressive and they make some of the greatest concerts in the world, but the connection between the band and the fans is somewhat lost, the shows are way more planned out than they would be without any frill, errors and improvisation are almost entirely ruled out, extra songs, deeps cuts, you know, the rarities can't happen as much in the stadiums because of all the visuals, the effects, the extra performances. Muse's best shows are when things go wrong, when they add extra songs not included in the tracklist, when they play a thousand riffs after the heavy hitters, when they smash all the equipment and stagedive onto the crowd, when the occasional crazy fans manage to climb on top of the stage before being pulled down by security, whene huge mosh pits happen...
