@MuseResource Gothic are even mentioned on a youth theatre programme from 1991! With only Dom from the Muse line up.

"I remember arranging a meeting with Matt in Teignmouth, on this piece of grass called "The Den". We kind of sat down with mutual friends & I seem to remember it being really quick. I was like 'Do you want to join my band?' He went 'Yes'. I was like 'Cool' & that was it (laughs)"

"The first band I started was "Gothic Plague", but then our guitarist ended up leaving, or I kicked him out I think & I then got Matt in 'cos I knew he was good on guitar. I didn't really know him at school too well. I knew of him, but I knew he was a good musician for his age"

Overthrown I'd rather say I don't care.

"DIFFICULT second album? No such thing for Muse as this second cut from the forthcoming Origins of Symmetry keeps true to the thrashing rock sounds they're known for. Anyone who caught them trashing the stage on CD:UK at the weekend will agree." (New Born review - June 2001)
