(MUSE) Webfree TV, Austria (2000)

2000

KARINA: Hello again...
(She introduces Muse, and we cut to live footage, and then the interview. MATTHEW is holding the microphone)
CHRISTOPHER: Hello, my name's Chris
DOMINIC: My name's Dominic
MATTHEW: My name is Matt, and we're from a band called Muse
DOMINIC: And we would like to say hello to the viewers of Webfree TV

END OF AN ERA?
(DOMINIC'S NAME IS SPELT "DOMENIC" - EVERYONE ELSE GETS DIMINUTIVES I.E. "MATT" AND "CHRIS")
DOMINIC: I think five times we've been to Austria? Something like that? I don't know. Maybe they're going to miss some sort of end of "Showbiz", some sort of end of an era. Anyway...because you know we're just about...we're going to come back next year with a whole load of new songs, and um won't be playing as many old songs as we are now so, they're just going to miss the end, not the death, just the end of "Showbiz".
(Everyone chuckles)
DOMINIC (dramatic whisper): The death of "Showbiz"

TOURING?
DOMINIC: It's going better in Europe at the moment, and Japan and Australia. It's better over there. But I think next year, cuz we sort of spent so much time in Europe this year and last year really, and it's sort of gone very well. So I think next year we might spend a bit more time doing some more tours.

HOW DO YOU COPE YOUR SUCESS?
CHRISTOPHER (who has a cigarette in his hand): It's not been massive or anything. It's been like a steady curve, sort of blown up really quickly. 
DOMINIC: We've been so busy all the time as well so..it's sort of...when you're moving around traveling so much, it's sort of hard to notice or see what you've done. Like, especially in different countries like...um yeah, cuz we've just been moving around so quickly. 

VIDEOS?
DOMINIC: "Unintended" is all right. I don't really like "Muscle Museum" that much, with the crying. I don't know. I think we look a bit crap.

SUNBURN
DOMINIC: I don't know, I guess like the main thing is to get a video that suits the mood, and like the pace of the song. 
CHRISTOPHER: With the new videos for the next time, we're going to try to get more involved cuz we're not really happy with what we've done so far.

NEW ALBUM?
DOMINIC: We're just about to start recording the second album which is all done and written, so um no, we're really looking forward to recording that. But I think you know, we're constantly evolving. Like every band has to evolve, and if they..we don't feel any pressure to like make an album as good as "Showbiz" cuz I think it will be. Much better. 

NEW SOUND? 
DOMINIC: It's still going to be Muse. Some it's going to be a lot, sort of...some of it's going to be a lot heavier than what we've done before, so we're doing it with two different producers. We're doing it like half of it with Dave Bottrill, who produced TOOL and DEUS, so like that sort of thing...and we're going to do like another half with John Leckie again. So some of it's going to be...stuff with John might be a bit more sort of moody, dark, strange vibes.

SHOULD MEN BE ALLOWED TO SING THIS HIGH?
(Footage of MATTHEW)
Yes! Defenitly! Respect! 

NOTES
I have kept the spelling as it appears on the video.

c. July 2001 (Note - unfortunately the questions have been taken out, so this is fragmented) CHRISTOPHER: Yeah it's been...I mean the last couple of years we've done a lot really. We've sort of started off again in 99, just doing our own little tours, and just gradually building up to sort of going up to bigger tours with other bands, and then getting to the point where we can go out to do our own gigs. You know, gradually getting bigger and bigger.  MATTHEW: 2001... DOMINIC: No, year 2000... MATTHEW: 2000, last year...it's when we sort of found out who we were I think... DOMINIC: Yeah, a little bit more you know. We travelled around the world. Saw a lot of new countries and things like that, so we sort of learnt a lot of things about the band. You know who you are, you change as people, and I think the band just developed and moved forward.  MATTHEW: I think we spent the rest of the whole time touring. We spent the whole year touring, and for the first time headlining ...
