==Description==<br />
The most popular [[Muse]] cover, and covered because of Matt's ex-girlfriend's liking of the song.<ref name="xfmdoc">{{cite/xfm20071007}}</ref><ref name="Radio X in conversation with Muse | FULL interview"><br />

}}</ref> Originally believed to be released as a b-side, the band stated in mid-2000 it was going to be placed on an EP. It instead made the album, surprising many at the time, and wound up being released as a single.<br />
<br />
The song was used by Nescafé for their advertisement but without the band's permission. The band denied them the use of the song because they didn't believe in having their music used to advertise supermarket products. Nescafé withdrew that version for a different version. Muse were subsequently paid £500,000 of settlement money, which they donated to Oxfam.<ref name="xfmdoc"/><br />
<br />
In an interview with Rocksound Magazine, Bellamy stated that "our interpretation is quite different from the original, but nowhere near as good. I chose it because it’s got brilliant lyrics, and it fits in with some of the other songs on the album. It’s about becoming you – getting rid of your past and thinking about leading a new life. I just want people to know that underlying what I do is something positive, and that I’m not here to kill myself or to destroy the situation we live in.”<ref>Rock Sound Spain 31/07/01</ref><br />
<br />
In Taratata part 2, the host tells Matt that he has heard that Matt's mother likes the song. Bellamy replies with "loves the song."<br />
<br />
"Feeling Good" was written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the musical "The Roar of the Greasepaint - The Smell of the Crowd", though was made famous when performed by the legendary jazz artist [[Nina Simone]].<br />
<br />
Matt stated that the song for him it's about "Looking to the future with hope"<ref>Kerrang!October 2001: Muse Shoot Two Videos</ref> he also said in another interview: "The music is very dark and moody but as plain text the lyrics are just a cheesy, happy poem, just so amazingly positive, and It can make you feel like there's really something worth fighting for. It is depressing but it’s almost like humanity singing about how good things could be"<ref>Rock Sound - 2001</ref><br />
<br />
==Composition==<br />
Feeling Good is written in the key of G minor. It moves in 12/8 time at a slow tempo of 72 bpm.<br />
<br />
Bellamy's vocal range spans from F3 to F5. The song contains his highest note in the modal register, B♭4, which is shared with [[Unnatural Selection (song)|Unnatural Selection]], [[Futurism (song)|Futurism]], [[Madness (song)|Madness]], [[Survival (song)|Survival]] and [[Big Freeze (song)|Big Freeze]].<br />
<br />
==Feeling Good (XX Anniversary RemiXX)==<br />
On May 19th, 2021, it was announced that Muse will be releasing a remixed and remastered version of [[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]], titled "Origin of Symmetry (XX Anniversary RemiXX)". This was released on June 18th, 2021. <br />
<br />
The remix is not hugely different to the original overall, but some notable changes were made, the most notable of which is the strings during the second and fourth verses are much more prominent in the mix compared to the original. Other minor alterations include slightly less bass distortion during the second and fourth verses, the double bass during the third verse having more presence, the piano having more reverb applied, and the drums during the outro being mixed louder.<br />
<br />
==Additional information==<br />
In live performances, Matt sings the third verse through a megaphone.<br />
<br />
The song has been used in various forms of media. See more about this [[Origin_of_Symmetry_media_use|here.]]<br />
<br />
A live version of Feeling Good was released online as the only single from [[H.A.A.R.P. (live)|H.A.A.R.P.]] in 2008, as the track was not included on the H.A.A.R.P. CD itself.<br />
<br />
==Alternative versions==<br />
A radio edit of "Feeling Good" with clean vocals on the third verse and can be found on the second [[Hyper Music/Feeling Good (single)#Promo|UK "Hyper Music/Feeling Good" promo CD]] (catalogue number 'MUSE 19'). An isolation of the drum, bass and keyboard feeds from the H.A.A.R.P. show features in the audio setup section of the H.A.A.R.P. DVD. It was first played live as a guitar version in the [[BBC Studios 1999 (gig)|BBC session in 1999]] (also known as "different take session").<br />
<br />
== Live ==<br />
<br />
This cover of the Anthony Newely & Leslie Bricusse song, made famous by Nina Simone, was commonly played live between 2000 and 2003, but wasn't played between [[Reykjavík Laugardalshöll 2003 (gig)|Laugardalshöll 2003]] and [[Neuhausen ob Eck Southside Festival 2006 (gig)|Southside Festival 2006]] with the exception of one 2004 gig in Tokyo. It was once again played regularly live from 2006 until 2010. The song was played only 3 times in 2011 and not at all in 2012. The song saw a resurgence during the last part of The 2nd Law Tour. It was not included in any setlists for the Psycho UK tour but did reappear for the Asian leg of the Drones World Tour with a few sporadic gigs during 2015 and 2016. Feeling Good has yet to be played from 2017 onwards, and considering the lack of piano songs in more modern setlists, it's unlikely the song will return anytime soon. <br />

== Background ==<br />
<br />
After working on new Acoustic material, Matt decided it was time to have a custom Manson acoustic guitar designed for him based on the "Mattocaster" Shape. It was designed and built by Hugh Manson's brother, Andy, a specialist in acoustic design. <br />
It appears that 6-in-line style headstocks were initially designed and built to match Matt’s electrics, but at some point in the building process these were changed to 3-a-side. Unless there were more acoustic guitars built by Andy that we haven’t seen in the wild. It’s been reported by someone who visited Andy’s workshop in July 2023 (picking up a mandolin Andy had built) that Matt always has 2 instruments built - one for each continent or rig A/B and also a backup - so there’s possibly 4 Manson acoustics out there.<br />
<br />
The guitar appears to be thinner than Matt's previous non-Manson acoustic guitars, probably for easier playability live. <br />
<br />
In 2019, Matt got two new guitars built for back-up purposes.<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
The Manson Acoustic got it's first live outing at the [[Orlando Amway Center 2017 (gig)|Orlando]] gig in 2017, and was only used for Undisclosed Desires during that year.<br />
<br />
Later, in 2018, with the release of [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]], this guitar was used for live performances of [[Something Human (song)|Something Human]] and a performance of [[Dig Down (song) |Dig Down]]'s Acoustic Gospel version at the Jools Holland Show. <br />
<br />
During the Simulation Theory World Tour in 2019, the guitar was only used for [[Propaganda (song)|Propaganda]], as the band dropped Something Human from tour sets and Dig Down's acoustic version features Matt on a piano. <br />

Part of the [[Will of the People World Tour]].<br />
<br />
== Information ==<br />
<br />
Announced 19 August, pre-ordering the new album from the UK or European Official Stores before Wednesday 24 August at 12pm BST gained first access to pre-sale tickets. General on sale tickets became available Friday 26 August at 9AM BST.<br />
<br />
Muse were supported by [[Twin Atlantic]] and [[The Warning]].<br />
<br />
== The show ==<br />
<br />
Despite it being a non-festival gig, Muse played their festival style setlist. They also used the similar festival production, with the shorter b-stage, less elaborate staging and lighting, and the absence of the moving light/mirrors at the top of the stage, any lighting effects on the stage floor /runaway, and the notable absence of the Baph inflatable for the encore. Dom revealed via an Instagram comment that the shortened setlist was due to the band only being allotted an hour and a half instead of the usual two hours.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct47xueoWoA/</ref>, while the venue & promoters contradicted this when a justifiably disgruntled fan contacted them.<br />
<br />
Heavy rain fell throughout almost the whole show, leaving both the crowd and band members drenched.<br />
Streamers were launched during Compliance, and pyros were used throughout- but neither of these helped to dry off the crowd.<br />

== Background ==<br />
<br />
The Alloy 7 String guitar appeared on the "Making of" DVD for The 2nd Law, recording Supremacy. In 2012, Matt wanted a 7 string Mattocaster guitar with an alloy top allthough at this point, he didn't aim for a specific weight, so the guitar was built without weight as a consideration (his later guitars used for tours, including the [[Manson Black 7 String]], were requested to match a certain weight and thus were modified).<br />
<br />
This was one of six Manson guitars created by Hugh Manson for Bellamy in 2012. This guitar has no Kaoss pad controller and does not seem to have any additional electronics, which is a departure from Matt's Resistance-era guitars.<br />
<br />
This guitar is also the first 7 string that Matt has custom ordered from Manson Guitars (the [[Manson 7 String E Guitar|7 String E Guitar]] was originally not built for him, and the [[Manson Black 7 String|Black 7 String]] appears to have been built and delivered afterwards, with previously mentioned weight mods.<br />
<br />
The guitar was never used live, likely due to it not matching any weight specs.<br />

Part of the [[Will of the People World Tour]].<br />
<br />
== Information ==<br />
<br />
Announced 19 August, pre-ordering the new album from the UK or European Official Stores before Wednesday 24 August at 12pm BST gained first access to pre-sale tickets. General on sale tickets became available Friday 26 August at 9AM BST.<br />
<br />
Muse were supported by [[Twin Atlantic]] and [[The Warning]].<br />
<br />
== The show ==<br />
<br />
Despite it being a non-festival gig, for reasons unknown, Muse played a festival set, to the dismay of many fans.<br />
The stage production was also considerably reduced, with the exclusion of the Baph inflatable for the latter songs, a lack of screens and lighting on the Will/Mask prop and a shorter runway at the front of the stage.<br />
<br />
Muse took to the stage just after 9:20pm, it’s entirely unclear why they had a later and shorter set compared to the rest of the WotP tour.<br />
It rained for almost the entire show, resulting in a soaking wet band and drenched crowd.<br />
<br />
Many fans felt let down by not only the shortened Setlist but also the very safe and generic Setlist - usually Muse treat Glasgow fans to an old or fan-favourite song, breaking years of tradition, especially disappointing that it’s the first time Muse played Glasgow in 7 years, since the Drones tour.<br />

This was officially announced by Manson's via their social media a few days after the Will of the People Tour kicked off, described as "a classic design with a few Manson refinements and some custom pickups."<br />
<br />
It's a prototype built specifically for the ''WotP'' tour, so we may see tweaks and other versions appear soon as it goes on the road. <br />
The MB-S is loosely based on the Manson S-Type, ''(built by Hugh Manson in the '90s)'' <ref>https://www.mansonguitars.co.uk/g10?lightbox=imagefxo</ref>, but with a modern headstock & contemporary Mason logo, and very closely resembles a [[Fender Stratocaster]], but with the body area behind the bridge more closely akin to a Fender Duo-Sonic or Fender Lead I/II/III.<br />
<br />
This new design is likely due to Matt using various Strats over the years on tour and in the studio, most recently the eye-catching [[Fender Aluminium Stratocaster]] for the Pyscho and Drones tours respectively. <br />
<br />
<br />
Much like the [[Manson Oryx | Oryx #1/#2/#3]], it's another significant departure from the classic MB Shape in the "new era of Manson". Notably as it's a second new shape built for Matt in the short time since the WotP Era began.<br />
<br />
This and the Oryx could be the start of Matt having totally new and different guitars built by Manson's (being majority shareholder of MGW) and exploring all sorts of new shapes and designs, with hope for future production runs that the public can purchase.<br />

<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy]] owns more than 50 Manson guitars, of which all were built by [[Hugh Manson]] (before 2009) except the [[Manson Mirror Kaoss | Mirror Kaoss]], [[Manson Doubleneck | Doubleneck]], [[Manson Keytar | Keytar]] and [[Manson Matt Black II | Matt Black II]] and many more, which were built by Tim Stark. Hugh still makes guitars for Matt, but nowadays, most of the work is done by head luthier at Manson Guitar Works, Tim Stark. All of the guitars built for Bellamy, aside from the 7 String E Guitar, have a shape that he designed alongside Hugh Manson in 2001, dubbed Mattocaster or MB shape. The Mattocaster shape resulted from Bellamy wanting a guitar with "the body of a Fender Telecaster and the sound of a Gibson Les Paul".{{cite/none}} Ron Joyce, Hugh's friend and electronic designer/engineer, also plays a big role in achieving the sound, as he designs, engineers and builds all the tech found in Matt's custom guitars. <br />
<br />
As of June of 2019, Bellamy became the majority shareholder of Manson Guitar Works.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/mansonguitarworks/posts/972191466321877?__tn__=-R</ref>He mentioned that in the following months and years, he and the team at Manson will actively investigate new products for heavier music genres (incl. 7 string guitars) and explore enchanced electronic features to evolve the guitar into the modern era of sound. He also mentioned the release of lower cost Manson guitars, the then named "M-Series" and now named MBM-1 Meta Series <small>''(see below)''</small>.<ref>https://www.musicradar.com/news/matt-bellamy-on-mansons-future-well-be-exploring-enhanced-electronic-features-to-further-evolve-the-guitar</ref><br />

'''Fender Musical Instruments Corporation''' (most commonly known simply as '''Fender''') is one of the most popular stringed instrument brands in the world. Founded in 1946 in Fullerton, California, by Leo Fender, their first product included a lapsteel guitar, made in 1946, followed by a Telecaster (originally named Broadcaster), a P-Bass (Precision Bass) and the Stratocaster, all unveiled in the 1950s. Other famous Fender guitar models include the J-Bass (Jazz Bass), Jazzmaster, Jaguar and Mustang. The company is also known for producing amplifiers, effects pedals, guitar parts and accessories and various soundsystems such as IEMs and bluetooth speakers.<br />
<br />
Fender is a private corporation, currently located in Scottsdale, Arizona with Andy Mooney serving as the CEO. Acquired in the 1960s, Fender also owns Squier, a much older, former guitar, banjo and violin manufacturer, now producing Fender's budget lines and alternatives, aswell as Bigsby, [[Jackson]], Charvel and [[Gretsch]].<br />
<br />
Through the years, both Chris and Matt have used Fender guitars and amps due to their distinct sounds and continue to use them for certain songs and sounds, despite both having signature guitar and bass models.<br />

Glasgow Jam was played for the first time 7 years, replacing [[Riffs_and_jams#Munich_Jam|Munich Jam]]. Like the last time it was played in 2009, it featured [[Calum Taylor]] on bagpipes. This time however, it was also accompanied by Scottish Highland dancers. Towards the end of the jam, Matt walked onstage waving a large Scottish flag before throwing it into the audience at the end. {{YT|kZMz1kZ14Oc}}<br />

They also dropped Madness out of the setlist for the first time on the tour. <br />

It is very likely that this guitar is a Fender Custom Shop model. It is very similar to the Custom Shop Master Built [[https://reverb.com/item/7424651-fender-custom-shop-master-built-scott-buehl-aluminum-hydroform-stratocaster|Aluminium Hydroform Stratocaster]] built by Scott Buehl, allthough Matt's guitar has a chrome/mirror pickguard.<br />
<br />
Similar to his Manson’s guitars, it’s probable that there are 2 Rigs for touring certain parts of the world, there are likely 2 models of this guitar. The original Ali Mirror Strat used on the Psycho Tour and Drones World Tour featured a larger Headstock, it’s possible that there is a duplicate guitar or the neck was replaced at some point. <br />
<br />
The guitar was first seen used by Bellamy in 2015 and was used live up until 2017. <br />
<br />
The Aluminium Strat has also been seen in the studio during the making of [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]]. It was likely used on [[Break It to Me (song)|Break It to Me]] due to the distinct neck pick up sound, and a couple other songs off of the album.<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy]] first used this Fender Stratocaster extensively on the [[Psycho UK Tour]] and the [[Psycho US Tour]] in early 2015, debuting live in [[Belfast Ulster Hall 2015 (gig)|Belfast]]. After a period of assumed inactivity, this guitar returned to the stage for the [[The Drones World Tour 2015/16]], with the low E string tuned down to A for [[The Globalist (song)|The Globalist]] on which it was used to it's [[Melbourne Rod Laver Arena 2017 (gig)|last performance in 2017]]<br />
<br />
The Aluminium Strat was marked "6" by Matt's guitar tech.<br />

It was only used once for Knights of Cydonia at the [[Wales Newport Centre 2015 (gig) | Newport Centre]] on the Psycho UK Tour's third night. Likely required as a backup guitar for that song, or Matt tried using it for one gig, but the whammy bar system wasn't as versatile as the Floyd Rose requires for Knights.<br />

'''Fender Musical Instruments Corporation''' (most commonly known simply as '''Fender''') is one of the most popular stringed instrument brands in the world. Founded in 1946 in Fullerton, California, by Leo Fender, their first product included a lapsteel guitar, made in 1946, followed by a Telecaster (originally named Broadcaster), a P-Bass (Precision Bass) and the Stratocaster, all unveiled in the 1950s. Other famous Fender guitar models include the J-Bass (Jazz Bass), Jazzmaster, Jaguar and Mustang. The company is also known for producing amplifiers, effects pedals, guitar parts and accessories and various soundsystems such as IEMs and bluetooth speakers.<br />
<br />
Fender is a private corporation, currently located in Scottsdale, Arizona with Andy Mooney serving as the CEO. Acquired in the 1960s, Fender also owns Squier, a much older, former guitar, banjo and violin manufacturer, now producing Fender's budget lines and alternatives, aswell as Bigsby, [[Jackson]], Charvel and [[Gretsch]].<br />
<br />
Through the years, both Chris and Matt have used Fender guitars and amps due to their distinct sounds and continue to use them for certain songs and sounds, despite both having signature guitar and bass models.<br />

It's a prototype built spcifically for the WotP tour, so we may see tweaks and other versions appear soon. <br />

[[Matthew Bellamy]] owns more than 50 Manson guitars, of which all were built by [[Hugh Manson]] (before 2009) except the [[Manson Mirror Kaoss | Mirror Kaoss]], [[Manson Doubleneck | Doubleneck]], [[Manson Keytar | Keytar]] and [[Manson Matt Black II | Matt Black II]] and many more, which were built by Tim Stark. Hugh still makes guitars for Matt, but nowadays, most of the work is done by head luthier at Manson Guitar Works, Tim Stark. All of the guitars built for Bellamy, aside from the 7 String E Guitar, have a shape that he designed alongside Hugh Manson in 2001, dubbed Mattocaster or MB shape. The Mattocaster shape resulted from Bellamy wanting a guitar with "the body of a Fender Telecaster and the sound of a Gibson Les Paul".{{cite/none}} Ron Joyce, Hugh's friend and electronic designer/engineer, also plays a big role in achieving the sound, as he designs, engineers and builds all the tech found in Matt's custom guitars. <br />
<br />
As of June of 2019, Bellamy became the majority shareholder of Manson Guitar Works.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/mansonguitarworks/posts/972191466321877?__tn__=-R</ref>He mentioned that in the following months and years, he and the team at Manson will actively investigate new products for heavier music genres (incl. 7 string guitars) and explore enchanced electronic features to evolve the guitar into the modern era of sound. He also mentioned the release of lower cost Manson guitars, the then named "M-Series" and now named MBM-1 Meta Series <small>''(see below)''</small>.<ref>https://www.musicradar.com/news/matt-bellamy-on-mansons-future-well-be-exploring-enhanced-electronic-features-to-further-evolve-the-guitar</ref><br />

== Information ==<br />
<br />
''Black Holes and Revelations'' is Muse's fourth studio album, released three years after previous album ''[[Absolution (album)|Absolution]]'', in July 2006. The album is less classically orientated than ''[[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]]'' and ''Absolution'', while introducing new influences including jazz, soul and R&B. The album contains elements of these genres. The varied influences on the album can be traced to the intial demos and recording made in the Château Miraval studio<ref name="eq200703">{{cite/eq200703}}</ref> and the later recordings in New York City,<ref><br />

}}</ref> where Matt DJed in a club and the band recorded the remaining songs in the [[Electric Lady Studios]].<ref name="eq200703"/><br />
<br />
The general theme of the album centres on dystopian-orientated/kleptocratic politics, along with accompanying war and about cycles and big things happening: "There is a theme on the album, it's that kind of connection to the cycles of history where the tension builds up and then it's released, whether it's catastrophic like a nuclear war, or aliens come down and it's brilliant. But there's definitely a sense of something big is about to happen." and that "Some of the songs are directly informed by things that are going on at the moment"<ref>{{cite/nme20060315}}</ref> Matt also said in another interview: " It [The 50's] was an era of worldwide tension, of nuclear fear and of war. Today, we’ve come back to this feeling, like at the end of a cycle. There’s even been a rise in the interest in space. This theme, the connection between current tensions and those from long ago, can really be heard on the album"<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rm200605}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matt said that the songs in the album are told from different person's Point Of View: "This time, it is a bit about struggling with various contrarities of life, but from a different person's view, not from mine. It is about the fear of who or what is ruling the world. It is about trust and about not losing track in this tangle. Maybe it is about a person struggling his way through this chaos."<ref name=INTROMagazine2007"><br />

}}</ref><br />
<br />
Matt described the album as: "About the album, some new songs deal with awol soldiers, Zeta Reticulans, the sound of Joe Meek's tape machine being thrown down the stairs, the private thoughts of General Zhu Chenghu, feeling strangely comfortable collecting fire wood whilst wielding an axe and of course, how to store Pasta for 12 years using nitrogen flushing. We have also obtained a Buchla. Our very own Marvin sat in the corner depressed too complex to be fun and too unreliable to be a friend. It may have been close to getting blood from a stone but in the end we did get some earnest synth dreams out of him. The 6/8 cycling monster has turned out truly gargantuan, it will have to end the album (a few beserkers may recognize the chordal structure from piano doodlings on previous tours). Also, a sinister presence at the center of our Galaxy has inspired what could be described as a surprisingly casual manage-a-trois involving Prince, R2-D2 and the Queen when she was hot"<ref><br />

<br />
The album is dedicated to the memory of [[Helen Kirk]].<ref name="albn"/><br />
<br />
== Prior to recording ==<br />
Many songs from this album and its singles were already written before 2005. The earliest two, Take a Bow and Soldier's Poem, were ones that were attempted during the Absolution sessions; Take a Bow was played as an instrumental interlude at many 2003 and 2004 gigs. Both Glorious and Crying Shame, which would not make the final cut on the album, were played live in 2004. Knights of Cydonia was said to be written on the tour bus while in Arizona, a destination only toured in late 2004. Starlight was also stated to be written during the 2004 tour, although neither Starlight nor Knights of Cydonia would be performed during the Absolution tour. Additionally, City of Delusion was cited as the oldest song on the album by Rich Costey, indicating bits and pieces may have even been written on the Origin of Symmetry tour or sessions.<br />
<br />
Playing of the tracks started mid-2004 with "[[Glorious (song)|Glorious]]". "[[Crying Shame (song)|Crying Shame]]" made its debut in [[London Earls Court Exhibition Centre 2004 - 19th (gig)|19 December 2004]], while "[[Assassin (song)|Assassin]]" and "[[Exo-Politics (song)|Exo-Politics]]" in their early forms made their debut during the 2005 MTV Campus Invasion Tour ([[Boca Raton Auditorium Field 2005 (gig)|8 April 2005]]).<ref name="eq200703"/><br />
<br />
Matt Bellamy wrote five songs after he travelled to Kingdom of Bhutan and the Himalayas earlier in 2005: "I was in Bhutan, I wanted to get away from everything - no phone, no tv, nothing. I went checking out the monks, hiking up mountains...It was really good for clearing my mind of any distractions, I got five new songs written while I was out there, though that isn't why I went."<ref name=MicroCutsNet20050224"><br />

}}</ref><ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rockmag200605}}</ref> It isn't known what surfaced from this session, although it is likely the songs from this session were among the many that were scrapped.<br />
<br />
Bellamy approached Costey in regards to producing their next album during the ''Absolution'' tour. Costey followed this up by contacting Bellamy a few months prior to starting the album.<ref name="eq200703">{{cite/eq200703}}</ref> The playing of ''Black Holes and Revelations'' tracks and its b-sides live in effect started in 2003 with "[[Take a Bow (song)|Take a Bow]]" being played as a piano interlude after "[[Citizen Erased (song)|Citizen Erased]]".<br />
<br />
== Recording ==<br />
The album was written partly before the ''Absolution'' Tour, partly during said tour and finished during their time at [[Studio Miraval|Miraval Studio]], Avatar and [[Electric Lady Studios]]. As with ''Absolution'', the time frame was not as large a concern as on the former two albums, hence Muse took their time over recording the album. The freedom also extended into the style of the music they wrote, delving into areas that Muse considered might be risky for other bands,<ref name="ml20060315">{{cite<br />

[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] also said in the same interview: "We've got to a point where we're pretty much free to do whatever we like. It was difficult because we wanted every song to be different to what we've done before. I think we've managed to do that. With the range we've shown on previous albums, I think we've got the freedom to go into areas other bands would consider risky. Previously, we consciously thought about which songs would work live but this time we just went for it. We'll worry about how to play them live later". Muse previously had written songs with their ability to play them live in mind, the band did not concern themselves with this ability whilst recording ''Black Holes and Revelations''.<ref name="ml20060315"/><br />
<br />
In September 2005, during the band's time at Miraval, the album was hindered by the band's fear of bats and ghosts, as well as the owner who purportedly didn't want Muse there, Matt: "The studio was set next to a vineyard and was full of ghosts. The owner was this moody old geezer who didn't seem to want us there and kept interrupting us when we were writing the album" and Chris added: "There were so many bats flying around the rehearsal room while we were trying to work" <ref name="ml20060315"/> Only two songs were recorded during Muse's time at Miraval, namely "Take a Bow" and "[[Invincible (song)|Invincible]]", although around 20 songs had been written.<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rm200605}}</ref> Whilst three of these songs became B-sides, the others were left unfinished or as demos as the band were focused on finishing the eleven album tracks, and later became involved in live performances and recording new material.<ref name="ml20060601"><br />

}}</ref><ref name"answers">{{cite/museboard20081128}}</ref> One of the left over songs, "[[Soaked (song)|Soaked]]", which was completed during the end of the recording process, later emerged. Sixteen other songs have yet to surface, none of which were released on The Resistance or The 2nd Law. To an extent, this can be considered Muse's "lost album".<br />
<br />
Matthew Bellamy claimed that had the entire recording process been carried out at Miraval, it would have turned out akin to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.{{cite/none}} He described some of the material that they put aside from their time at Miraval as "a little too progressive and symphonic" for the type of album they wanted ''Black Holes and Revelations'' to be,<ref name="jatd20070802">{{cite/The Breakfast Show 2007-08-02}}</ref> and "waffling on the piano, a lot of orchestration".<ref name="jatd20070802"/> The band had become frustrated during their time at Miraval at the "lack of rock" in their music.<ref name="jatd20070802"/><br />
<br />
In the Autumn 2005, Muse moved to New York, recording at Avatar and Electric Lady Studios. As well as recording in New York, Muse partook in the lifestyle of the city, which [[Dominic Howard]] claims influenced the style and direction of the album, particularly "[[Supermassive Black Hole (song)|Supermassive Black Hole]]".<ref name="mtvn">MTV News<!--Link or transcription needed!--></ref> The album's recording finished at Christmas 2005, after which the band moved to London and finished mixing at Sanctuary Townhouse Studios.{{cite/none}} <!--"When we moved into this crazy, claustrophobic, fast-paced way of living, we absorbed some of that energy and that affected the recording," [[Dominic Howard|Howard]] told MTV News-->Whilst recording the band worked on one song at a time, keeping those they liked and scrapping those they disliked.<ref>Chris Wolstenholme interview (needed)</ref> New instrumentation not used on previous recordings include a buchla synthesiser and a trumpet.<br />
<br />
The track list of ''Black Holes and Revelations'' was finalised by April 2006,<ref><br />

<br />
== Inspiration and style ==<br />
<br />
Inspiration for the album was taken from a wide variety of other artists, from contemporary acts such as [[Lightning Bolt]]<ref name="eq200703"/> and [[Rage Against The Machine]],<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rockmag200605}}</ref> to composer [[Ennio Morricone]]<ref>{{cite/undertheradar20060720}}</ref> and jazz singer [[Nina Simone]]. Muse also listened to music in the style of Joe Meek, Kill Bill and [[Nancy Sinatra]]. They had also been inspired by Belgian bands such as [[Millionaire]] and [[Evil Superstars]]. <br />
<br />
Bellamy also listened to the style of his father's band, [[The Tornadoes]]: "My dad’s music which I'd never listened to before last year – before then, I'd found it uncool – really influenced me."<ref name="rockmag0507">{{cite/rockmag200605}}</ref><br />
<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] had been living in North Italy for a while and had discovered some old Italian traditional folk songs, Matt explained: "The reason why the trumpets and some of the other stranger instrumentations came in is we didn't hold back in terms of taking a fringe idea to its full extent," describing the resulting sound as 'filmlike'. From living in northern Italy, I became interested in southern Italian music and music from the South of Spain, like flamenco guitar," says Bellamy. "When you hear it, it sounds like the music from the [spaghetti] western films."<ref>Epic U.K. Rockers Muse Return With Cinematic New Album (20060525 Rolling Stone article)</ref><br />
<br />
Chris commented that the band listened to Islamic radio stations whilst writing the album and the progressive elements of that music influenced songs such as "[[Assassin (song)|Assassin]]".<ref>{{cite |<br />

== Album art ==<br />
The album art was created by [[Storm Thorgerson]], it features a more contemporary interpretation of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Book of Revelation. The four horses of different colours, are on the table. The rider of the white horse represents the Anti-Christ, the red one war, the black famine and the pale one represents death and decay. The horses are small to signify the ills of the riders had outgrown those of their horses.<ref>[[Interview with Dominic Howard (20070724 Couleur 3 feature)|Couleur 3 2007-07-24]]</ref> <br />
<br />
According to Matt, Storm Thorgerson was inspired by Knights of Cydonia to make the Artwork: "Storm has this thing about Knights Of Cydonia," Bellamy says. "He had this vision of the four horsemen of the apocalypse but they've outgrown their horses. Each is supposed to represent a different ailment of humanity: vanity or greed or paranoia."<ref>{{cite/thecouriermail20060824}}</ref><br />
<br />
Our contemporary apocalyptic horsemen are depicted in suits representing more current ailments of humanity:<br />
<br />
'''Vanity/ Narcissism''' - a mirrored suit (many mirrors, to see themselves as much as possible), <br />
<br />
'''Greed''' - a gold suit, <br />
<br />
'''Paranoia/Surveillance''' - a suit of eyes, <br />
<br />
'''Intolerance/Ignorance'''- a suit adorned in religious symbols and hierograms. <br />
<br />
The fourth horseman also looks like he is wearing blinders on his head, as a horse would, implying narrow vision and refusal to look outwith your own beliefs or at the bigger picture. <br />
<br />
<br />
The horsemen are also implied to be on Mars, both with the Cydonian region inspiring the closing track, and the band wanted the artwork to be more other-worldly than the original Thorgerson photo, you can also see Earth in the background sky.<br />
<br />
<br />
Black Holes & Revelations’ artwork is arguably the most thought-provoking album cover to date, with a lot of deeper meanings an subtleties woven in.<br />
<br />
<br />
The images inside the album booklet include the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAARP HAARP] installation, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptical_Galaxy_M87 M87], papers from Project [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mkultra MKULTRA], and a blue contrail, in reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_aircraft Aurora] aircraft.<br />
<br />
HAARP is a scientific research project, the goal of which is to study ionosphere. Muse later entitled the live album [[H.A.A.R.P. (live)|H.A.A.R.P.]] after the project. M87 is an elliptical galaxy in Virgo that emits a jet of matter, probably from a supermassive black hole within it, while the blue contrail is a reference to the Aurora aircraft, which some believe is a top-secret hypersonic aircraft that leaves a blue contrail behind it. Project MKULTRA was a CIA project that sought to use chemicals for mind control and interogation, after which Muse entitled the song "[[MK ULTRA (song)|MK ULTRA]]".<br />
<br />
Q Magazine offered the table and chairs featured on the front cover as a prize in a competition, in September 2007.<ref><br />

== Release and post-release ==<br />
To promote the album in the UK, a set of MP3 player headphones loaded with the album was distributed for press use, including a short biography and track list. No promotional CD was produced for use in the UK. The US promo CD-R and the KROQ Weenie Roast CD-R are watermarked and encrypted so that they cannot be played on a computer. Each was printed with name of the intended recipient on the disc. In Germany a CD-R promo featuring an interview with the band was circulated to promote the album.<br />
<br />
The album was leaked on the 7th of June, 2006, in monaural form,<ref><br />

''Black Holes and Revelations'' was re-released early in 2007 as a Tour Edition with a bonus DVD. A few online stores and listings on eBay have claimed that there exists a different Japanese CD/DVD set with additional DVD features including 'Live performances from Summer Sonic 2006 and Reading/Leeds Festival 2006, and Behind-the-scenes studio footage'. However, this is not the case, the DVD itself is identical to the original, which includes the videos and live performances of the first 3 singles from the album. The release of the album was completed when made available in Ukraine, in August 2007.<ref name="uaclub"/> A version of the album featuring the "Grand Omega Bosses" version of "Assassin" was made available on 7digital.com from during 2007, but this was later amended to the album version of "Assassin" at a later date.<!--uncitable as it's no longer there, and the below reference has become invalid--> <br />
<br />
The vinyl edition became available on [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Holes-Revelations-VINYL-Muse/dp/B000G03S94 Amazon UK] during early March, 2007,<ref><br />

}}</ref> but all orders where subsequently cancelled and the item remained seemingly unreleased. The double LP was finally rescheduled for released on 18{{supo|th}} August 2009 along with the US vinyl reissues of ''Showbiz'', ''Origin of Symmetry'' and ''Absolution'', over three years after the original release date. The album was the first to have no French singles box-set released.<br />
<br />
The Australian release includes a copy prevention rootkit (virus). To ensure your computer does not get infected, disable autorun before inserting the CD into your computer. This only affects Windows systems.<br />
<br />
== Awards ==<br />
The album was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize in 2007.<br />
In addition, [[Knights of Cydonia (song)|Knights of Cydonia]] was voted the "Hottest Song of 2007" on the Australian radio station Triple J.<br />

<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy]] owns more than 50 Manson guitars, of which all were built by [[Hugh Manson]] (before 2009) except the [[Manson Mirror Kaoss | Mirror Kaoss]], [[Manson Doubleneck | Doubleneck]], [[Manson Keytar | Keytar]] and [[Manson Matt Black II | Matt Black II]] and many more, which were built by Tim Stark. Hugh still makes guitars for Matt, but nowadays, most of the work is done by head luthier at Manson Guitar Works, Tim Stark. All of the guitars built for Bellamy, aside from the 7 String E Guitar, have a shape that he designed alongside Hugh Manson in 2001, dubbed Mattocaster or MB shape. The Mattocaster shape resulted from Bellamy wanting a guitar with "the body of a Fender Telecaster and the sound of a Gibson Les Paul".{{cite/none}} Ron Joyce, Hugh's friend and electronic designer/engineer, also plays a big role in achieving the sound, as he designs, engineers and builds all the tech found in Matt's custom guitars. <br />
<br />
As of June of 2019, Bellamy became the majority shareholder of Manson Guitar Works.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/mansonguitarworks/posts/972191466321877?__tn__=-R</ref>He mentioned that in the following months and years, he and the team at Manson will actively investigate new products for heavier music genres (incl. 7 string guitars) and explore enchanced electronic features to evolve the guitar into the modern era of sound. He also mentioned the release of lower cost Manson guitars, the then named "M-Series" and now named MBM-1 Meta Series <small>''(see below)''</small>.<ref>https://www.musicradar.com/news/matt-bellamy-on-mansons-future-well-be-exploring-enhanced-electronic-features-to-further-evolve-the-guitar</ref><br />

The Manson Chrome Fuzz visually bears resemblance to the [[Manson Chrome FR]], while spec-wise, it's supposed to be identical to the [[Manson Mirror]]. The main difference from the Mirror is the paint : the guitar's painted in a lighter Chrome than the Chrome FR and has the same knobs as the [[Manson Fire Red]]. It has only been used for Plug in baby so far.<br />

One of the newest Mansons, Bellamy uses a heavily modified version of the Manson Oryx (as confirmed by Manson Guitar Works on their Instagram stories), with fanned frets, painted in all-white (including the neck), used for [[Won't Stand Down (song)|Won't Stand Down]] and [[Kill or Be Killed (song)|Kill or be Killed]], both off of [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]]. This also marks the first new Manson guitar in a long time, to be used by Bellamy, which is not off of his signature model range. The Manson Oryx is a guitar line made for former [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periphery_(band) Periphery] bassist (mainly), guitarist (occasionally), producer/audio engineer, owner of GetGood Drums and multi-instrumentalist, Adam "Nolly" Getgood. <br />
<br />
According to Bellamy, with the guitar having six strings and having a special dropped B tuning, the special fan-fretted fingerboard (being the first fan-fret on a Manson) helps string tension remain solid.<br />
<br />
It looks as though a Sustainiac or Fernandez pickup was once installed, or due to be installed but never completed, going by the now removed Sustainiac controls, which can be seen to be partially filled in recent footage from Rock am Ring in June 2022.<br />
<br />
[[File:Https://musewiki.org/File:Oryx Rock am Ring 2022.png|thumb|right|white dots can be seen where the Sustainiac toggle switches once were]]<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
The guitar was first seen in the studio, on Muse's Instagram/TikTok video, showing Bellamy playing Won't Stand Down.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CanOYTBqy29/</ref> It is unknown if the guitar was also used during the recording phase, as the song was recorded in early 2021, about a year prior to the official release of the Oryx.<br />
<br />
Live, the guitar uses a special dropped B tuning, and is used for [[Won't Stand Down (song)|Won't Stand Down]]. It first appeared on the [[Exeter Cavern Club 2022 (gig)|Exeter Cavern]] secret gig.<br />

== Description ==<br />
<br />
Title track off of the album [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]]. The song's name has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info. In late May of 2022, Apple Music began showing the track length of the song in the album playlist, while Amazon set up a release date of June the 1st. The song itself got leaked on May 26th, 2022, while the official release date of the single, being June 1st, was announced a day later. <br />
<br />
Will Of The People has previously been teased by Muse through a couple of short clips, on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzHnwHzp9o4 YouTube] and [https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/ Instagram], revealing the album's name. Upon the album announcement, Warner described it as a track that "''brings playful provocation to a dystopian glam-rocker''"<ref>https://themusicuniverse.com/muse-announces-will-people/</ref><br />
<br />
== Instrumentation ==<br />
<br />
The track starts out with a looping choir, built up of layers of Matt Bellamy chanting the line "The Will of the People". The same loop appears throughout the song. The track itself is based around guitar, bass and drums, with some guitar-synth layering, which is especially noticeable during the last part. It also features a lot of "ooh"s and "woah"s throughout the song, aswel as a high-pitched scream, at around 2 minutes and 42 seconds.<br />
<br />
The song is similar to the work of Green Day’s Uno, Dos and Tré era, aswel as the Father Of All... era,also bearing some resemblance to Marilyn Manson’s “The Beautiful People”. It’s reminiscent of Muse’s own work such as; [[Uprising (song)|Uprising]] and [[Psycho (song)|Psycho]], written in the same swing rhytm. It's also been compared to [[Pressure (song)|Pressure]] and [[New Kind of Kick (song)|New Kind of Kick]], having the same "rock'n'roll" feel with the saturated vocals. The song runs in A-Major and at a tempo of 130BPM.<br />

This guitar appeared on the Muse Twitter Account on 9th August 2012. This guitar is Matt's first Manson guitar not to have any internal effects or controllers.<br />
<br />
The guitar had to match a specific weight requirement (around 2.4kg) so multiple holes were drilled into the body, neck, hardware to reach the target weight - similar to the rebuilt [[Manson Mirror 2.0]].<br />
This was one of six other Manson guitars created by Hugh Manson for Bellamy in 2012.<br />
<br />
The Bridge pickup was changed to a P90 pickup (presumably Manson MBK-1) before the 2012 [[London Roundhouse 2012_(gig)|London Roundhouse]] gig.<br />
<br />
Before the [[Birmingham LG Arena 2012 (gig)|Birmingham]] gig, it was fitted with a single coil Seymour Duncan pickup in place of the Fernandes Sustainer.<br />
<br />
This guitar was replaced by the [[Manson Matt Black Stealth]].<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
Although the debut of this guitar was during the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the guitar was not actually played. It is quite clear throughout the footage that all instrumentation was mimed, making this also one of the few times Muse have mimed sensibly.<br />

This guitar appeared on the Muse Twitter Account on 9th August 2012. This guitar is, aside from a few others, Matt's first Manson guitar not to have any internal effects or controllers.<br />
<br />
The guitar had to match a specific weight requirement (around 2.4kg) so multiple holes were drilled into the body, neck, hardware to reach the target weight - similar to the rebuilt [[Manson Mirror 2.0]].<br />
This was one of six other Manson guitars created by Hugh Manson for Bellamy in 2012.<br />
<br />
The Bridge pickup was changed to a P90 pickup (presumably Manson MBK-1) before the 2012 [[London Roundhouse 2012_(gig)|London Roundhouse]] gig.<br />
<br />
Before the [[Birmingham LG Arena 2012 (gig)|Birmingham]] gig, it was fitted with a single coil Seymour Duncan pickup in place of the Fernandes Sustainer.<br />
<br />
This guitar was replaced by the [[Manson Matt Black Stealth]].<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
Although the debut of this guitar was during the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the guitar was not actually played. It is quite clear throughout the footage that all instrumentation was mimed, making this also one of the few times Muse have mimed sensibly.<br />

== Background ==<br />
<br />
This guitar is almost identical in hardware to the [[Manson Matt Black Stealth LED | Matt Black Stealth LED]], except it features a Humbucker Sustainiac Pickup at the neck rather than a single coil.<br />
<br />
Rather than a simple LED strip stuck to the outside of the body as a retro-fit on the original LED stealth- the TronCaster features bespoke improved lighting installed by Mansons, the lights are integrated around the edge of the entire guitar including the neck and headstock.<br />
This was very likely achieved by using Laser Wire as opposed to LEDs - which is notably not as bright as LEDs, but gives a cleaner, more subtle look - while still looking great in the dark.<br />
The challenge in finding a suitable light source that doesn’t cause severe interference with the guitar’s signal - and also without incorporating hundreds of LEDs in the body would’ve been tough, but as always, Manson find a way!<br />
It also looks like it is fitted via a slight carve into the front of the body, rather than around the side or stuck into the body like binding would be - requiring minimal routing. <br />
<br />
Visually, the guitar's lighting bears some resemblance to the [[Manson Keytar]].<br />
<br />
Like all stealth models, it features all black hardware with custom black Tone and Volume knobs. <br />
<br />
The guitar also features an old Manson logo on the headstock.<br />
<br />
TronCaster is labeled by Matt's tech as "2" and "Laser".<br />

== Touring ==<br />

This guitar first appeared at the [[Bilbao_San_Mamés_2018_(gig)|MTV World Stage Bilbao]] gig in 2018. It is used for songs in standard tuning.<br />

'''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTDOhoPi7m8 Listen]]'''<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
Begins with a guitar riff which uses a pedal note throughout supported by a moving bass line which is continued in the verse. Drum part is rhythmically imitative of the guitar riff. The chorus is heavily chromatic. Both the guitar and vocal parts ascend chromatically, and when it moves out of this chromatic motif the guitar continues to imitate the vocal line melodically. The piece is brought to a close initially with the original guitar riff and then by a variation of the riff but with the same bass line. The song is bookended by 33 randomly overdubbed guitars, which eventually resolve to a B major chord to end the track.<br />
<br />
== Additional information ==<br />
When played live, this song was referred to as DES due to a name printed on a set list. DES is the name of the keyboard technician - During the performance of Fillip for Bizarre 1999, there is a problem with the sound (a video of this can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v20NWLyO63Q&feature=player_detailpage#t=98 here] or downloaded [http://www.muselive.com/plug.php?e=media&m=sysdownload&f=129 here]) and at the time, Matt made a beckoning gesture aimed backstage and he is heard saying "Des! Des!". It could also be a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Encryption_Standard DES], an American government cypher which would fit with the apparent cryptographic theme of the album. DES became a backronym for "Dead End Street" when some fans thought it was the title for the new song. The first two lyrics in the chorus are also the first two lyrics in the [[Radiohead]] song "My Iron Lung".<br />
<br />
Matt first referred to this song in his October message on the Official messaged board stating that "the 33 randomised guitar overdubs on the church of sub genius ... have high chance of making it [on to Black Holes and Revelations]", [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius Church of the SubGenius] being the song's pre-release title.<br />
<br />
It was included on the Japanese version of [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]] as an extra incentive to buy as Japanese albums are more expensive. It is also featured on the [[Invincible (single)|Invincible]] 7". Glorious also happens to be the only known Muse B-side to have its own promo singles printed.<br />
<br />
It was also included as a Bonus Track to [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]] on U.S. iTunes.<br />
<br />
== Live ==<br />
Glorious was the first song from the Black Holes and Revelations era to be played live as well as the first to be dropped from setlists. It was only played a handful of times in 2004 and just once in 2005. This song is probably the only instance of a Muse song where the majority of the song's performances were in Canada.<br />
<br />
Dom revealed that he would like to see the song performed live again but he has not been able to convince Matt: "I want to play Glorious and Matt is always like ‘fuck off’..."<ref> <br />

<br />
It was performed for the first time since 2005 at Shepherd's Bush Empire on 19th August 2017. Introducing the song, Dom said he'd been trying to convince Matt to play it for seven years.<br />

This guitar is almost identical to the [[Manson Chrome FR]], except this guitar is in matte black colour and features an uncovered MBK-2 pickup. Like it’s Chrome twin, there is likely 2 models of this guitar for Rig A & Rig B.<br />
Both guitars feature the old Manson logo. <br />
<br />
The YES/NO switch sits in place of the tone control knob. <br />
This was previously thought to be an on/off switch to control the rumoured integrated whammy control on the [[Upcoming 'Patented' Manson Guitar | Patented MID1 Manson]], this pitch shift effect was instead achieved by using the Floyd Rose with the Sustainiac on Harmonic mode<br />
The YES/NO switch simply reverses the kill switch functionality. This means the guitar is 'muted' and flicking the killswitch on the top horn activates the guitar signal when switched to "NO". This is bypassed and the killswitch functions as normal when set to "YES".<br />
<br />
These guitar body shapes mark a departure from previous Mansons Matt used that feature a Floyd Rose system, as they do not have the rounded "Lozenge" shape, as seen on the likes of the [[Manson Chrome Bomber | Chrome Bomber]] and the [[Stealth Bomber]] models.<br />

<hr />
<div>==[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] & pianos==<br />
The piano was the first instrument [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] really played:<br />
"I didn’t have any lessons, and though I tinkered with it since I was five, I didn’t really get interested until I was ten or 11. I used to work on my left hand to “What’d I Say” ([[Ray Charles]]) in sort of this boogie-woogie style. I spent ages working that out, practicing the left hand doing one thing and trying to do chords with the right hand."<br />
<br />
Since the recording of [[Sunburn (song)|Sunburn]], the majority of [[Muse]]'s songs have been drafted on piano by [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]]:<br />
"I find it easy to find interesting chords on the piano. Especially because on a lot of stuff we do, the guitar and bass are harmonizing."<br />
"Even a song like [[Stockholm Syndrome (song)|Stockholm Syndrome]] was written on piano."<br />
<br />
However, on an early TV performance of [[Sunburn (song)|Sunburn]], the band brought in someone else to play the piano part and [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] played the guitar (although he later complained that the player was rubbish and got the notes wrong), as [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] didn't learn to sing whilst playing the keyboard until the end of the [[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]] era.<br />
<br />
This was also when the band began putting an emphasis on more complex, classically-influenced piano-based tracks such as [[Space Dementia (song)|Space Dementia]].<br />
<br />
==[[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]]'s Live Keyboard Rig==<br />
[[Image:MP9500.jpg|thumb|right|Kawai MP9500]]<br />
During the [[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]] tour, [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] used Korg SG Stage Piano or a Roland Juno 60 or a Yamaha P80 . This allowed the acoustic piano sounds and electronic/synth sounds (e.g in [[Space Dementia (song)|Space Dementia]]'s chorus) to be routed to their own individual amplifiers.<br />
<br />
On the [[Absolution (album)|Absolution]] tour, he used a Kawai MP9500 stage piano. It was mounted on a metal mesh podium nicknamed "The Dalek" which featured LED displays which could be synchronized to the MIDI output from the keyboard and the stage's visuals. For synth sounds two Roland JP-8000s were controlled using MIDI from the Kawai Keyboard and run through Fender Deville Amps to add color & dirt to the sound.<br />
<br />
Since the release of [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]], [[Morgan Nicholls]] has become a staple fixture of live performances, with his own keyboard rig, used to replicate the synthesisers used on albums without the need for excessive backing tracks (see below). In addition, [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] has updated his own live setup. He now uses a [http://www.musewiki.org/images/Matts_piano_II.JPG Kawai MP-8] digital stage piano mounted, during the first tour in support of [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]], in a white, custom made upright piano case built by [http://www.valepianos.co.uk/pages/latest_news.html Vale Pianos]. [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] sits at this to play piano-based songs such as [[New Born (song)|New Born]] (intro), [[Citizen Erased (song)|Citizen Erased]] (coda), [[Butterflies and Hurricanes (song)|Butterflies & Hurricanes]] (solo), as well as [[Sunburn (song)|Sunburn]], [[Hoodoo (song)|Hoodoo]], [[Soldier's Poem (song)|Soldier's Poem]] and [[Feeling Good (song)|Feeling Good]]. Since the May 2007 gig at [[Esch-Alzette Rockhal 2007 (gig)|Rockhal, Luxembourg]], the digital piano's case has once again been replaced, this time by a black grand piano shell with a transparent acrylic lid. Inside the wing of the piano are MIDI-controlled lights that reflect onto the lid, producing an effect last seen on "The Dalek". It is important to note that this is not a real grand piano, but the same stage piano as used before, merely in a new case.<br />
<br />
Since the start of the [[The Resistance|Resistance]] tour, Matt has used both the Upright and Grand Piano. For the live performances of [[Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) (song)|Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)]], Bellamy uses a [http://www.kawai.de/es6_en.htm Kawai ES-6].<br />
<br />
For The 2nd Law and Drones Tours, the black grand piano case and the white upright case were refinished in chrome/silver, with the Chrome Grand first being seen at the London Olympic Closing Ceremony.<br />
<br />
Since 2017 started, Matt has seemingly ceased using the Grand Piano live and instead uses just the Upright one. <br />
<br />
For The Simulation Theory Tour in 2019, The Upright piano shell was replaced a new more simplistic black case, with a lower back to accommodate a synth on top for Algorithm, and features colour-changing LED's around the sides - matching the albums 80s and neon art style.<br />
<br />
==Synthesizers==<br />
In an interview with [http://www.keyboardmag.com/ Keyboard Magazine] [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]] said that he's always had a liking for arpeggios since his first keyboard - a Roland Juno 60, which had a built in arpeggiator. This was first featured in [[Bliss (song)|Bliss]] and [[Screenager (song)|Screenager]] and has been even more prominent on [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)]]. The album features a Buchla 200e modular synthesizer (which was purchased during the Miraval sessions in 2005).<br />
<br />
Since the 2006 tour, in live performances these arpeggios are played using MIDI backing tracks via a [http://www.moogmusic.com/detail.php?main_product_id=161 MiniMoog Voyager RME]. When [[Morgan Nicholls|Nicholls]] or [[Dominic Howard|Howard]] have nothing else to play they adjust the filter control of the synths to add color to the arpeggios.<br />
<br />
In an XFM Exposure Interview, it became clear that it is [[Dominic Howard|Howard]] who has spearheaded the increased use of modular synthesisers on [[Black Holes and Revelations (album)|Black Holes and Revelations]] - he liked the idea of recording a whole disc of synthesised music. It is [[Dominic Howard|Howard]] who controls the synth's filter during live performances of [[Take a Bow (song)|Take a Bow]], when [[Morgan Nicholls]] is not on stage. He has used a variety of synths including a Buchla, another MiniMoog Voyager (e.g [[London Shepherds Bush Empire 2006 (gig)|Shepherd's Bush]]) and a bespoke modular sythesizer by Macbeth Studio Systems (e.g [[Reading Little John's Farm 2006 (gig)|Reading Festival 2006]]), photographs can be seen on [http://www.macbethstudiosystems.com their web-site].<br />
<br />
In 2018, Bellamy included an Arturia MatrixBrute to acompany his piano. He's using it to play the lead synth in [[Algorithm (song)|Algorithm]].<br />
<br />
In an interview with Matt's in 2019, it was revealed that for the [[Simulation Theory World Tour]], Matt's tech, alongside MIND Music Labs, Fishman and Arturia, built a custom-made [[Manson Prophet Stealth|Prophet V soft-synth system into his guitar.]] Bellamy has so far used the synth during [[The Dark Side (song)|The Dark Side]]'s solo.<br />

==[[Christopher Wolstenholme|Wolstenholme]]'s keyboards==<br />
[[Image:Rolandjp8000.jpg|right|thumb|Roland JP8000]]<br />
During the [[Absolution (album)|Absolution]] tour [[Christopher Wolstenholme|Chris]] also occasionally used a Roland JP-8000 to play the intro to [[Time Is Running Out (song)|Time Is Running Out]] (early) and the string part of [[Blackout (song)|Blackout]] for which he also played [[Matthew Bellamy|Bellamy]]'s Kawai.<br />
<br />
[[Christopher Wolstenholme|Wolstenholme]] also played a pedal-board in some songs, for example the pad sound in [[Sing for Absolution (song)|Sing for Absolution]].<br />
<br />
For current Simulation Theory tours, Chris has also got a new custom [[Status Keyboard Bass]], which includes, as the name implies, a keyboard built into the bass. The keyboard is connected via a wireless MIDI unit to Chris' tech's Apple MacBook, running Logic Pro X's MainStage software.<br />
<br />
==[[Morgan Nicholls|Nicholls]]' gear==<br />
The range of synthesiser parts used in [[Absolution (album)|Absolution]] meant that during the tour in support of it, the band began to use backing tracks in order to perform the songs in their entire nature. However, in the time leading up to the release of Black Holes and Revelations, Bellamy discussed how they had, as a band, decided to use a fourth live member from now on, to reduce the need for such backing tracks. This man is [[Morgan Nicholls]], famed multi-instrumentalist. As befits a man of his enigma, Nicholls's gear remains something of mystery. His two keyboards can be identified as a [http://www.clavia.se/products/nordmodular/index.htm Clavia Nord Modular G2] (responsible for the band's vocoder effects), and a [http://www.novationmusic.com/product.asp?id=30&Type=1&bArchive=False Novation ReMOTE SL 61] MIDI controller. His Rack definitely contains a MiniMoog Voyager RME, an Electrix Filter Factory and an Electrix Mo-Fx MK2. <br />
He is also using a Damge Control TimeLine and a Korg KP3. <br />
[[Image:Sub37.jpg|right|thumb|Moog Sub37]]<br />
<br />
<br />
He replaced his Novation kyeboard from Black Holes and Revalations era with the Kawai MP6 as his main keyboard during The Resistance era and has used it in the first few gigs of The 2nd Law era. <br />
<br />
Furthermore he is using Logic and software instruments that he's playing live.<br />
<br />
<br />
Since the first gig of [[The 2nd Law (album) |The 2nd Law]] tour, he switched to the Novation Mininova for Vocooder effects and additional choirs on Survival and has also started using the Doepfer D3M keyboard. He is also using 2 iPads, one with the Liine Lemur software for easy acces to controlling the Logic software on stage and other with MainStage software for MIDI keyboard sounds.<br />
<br />
<br />
During the [[Drones]] tour Morgan replaced the Novation Mininova with a Moog Sub37.<br />
<br />
<br />
Alike Matt and Chris, Morgan uses a Kemper Profiling Amplifier (white) for touring. It is placed in rack, beside Chris' racks.<br />

== Background ==<br />
<br />
It is very likely that this guitar is a Fender Custom Shop model. It is very similar to the Custom Shop Master Built [[https://reverb.com/item/7424651-fender-custom-shop-master-built-scott-buehl-aluminum-hydroform-stratocaster|Aluminium Hydroform Stratocaster]] built by Scott Buehl, allthough Matt's guitar has a chrome/mirror pickguard.<br />
<br />
<br />
Similar to his Manson’s guitars, it’s probable that there are 2 Rigs for touring certain parts of the world, there are likely 2 models of this guitar. The original Ali Mirror Strat used on the Psycho Tour and Drones World Tour featured a larger Headstock, it’s possible that there is a duplicate guitar or the neck was replaced at some point. <br />
<br />
<br />
The guitar was first seen used by Bellamy in 2015 and was used live up until 2017. <br />
<br />
The Aluminium Strat has also been seen in the studio during the making of [[Simulation Theory (album)|Simulation Theory]]. It was likely used on [[Break It to Me (song)|Break It to Me]] due to the distinct neck pick up sound, and a couple other songs off of the album.<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
[[Matthew Bellamy]] first used this Fender Stratocaster extensively on the [[Psycho UK Tour]] and the [[Psycho US Tour]] in early 2015, debuting live in [[Belfast Ulster Hall 2015 (gig)|Belfast]]. After a period of assumed inactivity, this guitar returned to the stage for the [[The Drones World Tour 2015/16]], with the low E string tuned down to A for [[The Globalist (song)|The Globalist]] on which it was used to it's [[Melbourne Rod Laver Arena 2017 (gig)|last performance in 2017]]<br />
<br />
The Aluminium Strat was marked "6" by Matt's guitar tech.<br />

It was only used once for Knights of Cydonia at the [[Wales Newport Centre 2015 (gig) | Newport Centre]] on the Psycho UK Tour's third night. Likely required as a backup guitar for that song, or Matt tried using it for one gig, but the whammy bar system wasn't as versatile as the Floyd Rose requires for Knights.<br />

This guitar is an "improved and tweaked" continuation of the [[Cort MBC-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitar|Cort MBC-1]] and is produced in association with Cort, but under the Manson trademark. In terms of pricing and specifications, it is almost identical to the Cort MBC-1, with the only noticeable difference being the pickups, which have been slightly updated and now feature two humbuckers instead of a humbucker-single coil combination (also bearing similarities to the [[Manson Matt Black 3.0]]) and the electronics cavity in the back, which was routed larger as standard for easier modification purposes and the Manson Logo on the Headstock.<br />
<br />
It's the first retail Matt Bellamy signature guitar with two humbuckers and the cheapest guitar sold by Manson.<br />
<br />
The guitar was announced on January 12th 2020, with social media posts by Manson Guitars and Matt Bellamy. It was unveiled to the public for the first time a week later at the Winter NAMM Show 2020.<br />
<br />
It is available in both Satin (Matte) Black and Starlight Silver (Matte-like Silver) - likely a homage to the high spec [[Manson DL-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitar |Manson DL-1 Matthew Bellamy Signature Guitars]] and similar finished Aluminium Manson's.<br />
<br />
Matt also said in an interview with Guitar magazine that he was planning to take a bunch of the Meta Series on the next tour as they're a lot cheaper if he ends up smashing them on stage. (these will likely be slightly upgraded versions - Sustainiacs and possibly Gotoh hardware and the likes). This will show how similar to full spec Manson's the new Meta Series are, at a much lower price point and affordable for more fans.<br />
<br />
== Upgrade options ==<br />
<br />
Manson Guitar Works offer the additional Sustainer install, replacing the neck pickup. As with the Cort MBC-1, more modification options are presumably going to be available in the future.<br />

<br />
This guitar is similar to the [[Manson_M1D1_Blue|Manson M1D1 Blue]] except that it features a built-in Whammy pedal, controlled by the X-Y Screen. The whammy can be played with no external midi needed. A demo video, posted on Manson Guitar Works' Instagram, can be seen [https://www.instagram.com/p/B-w_bE-HufD/ here].<br />
<br />
This guitar is likely the end result of the much speculated and rumoured [[Upcoming 'Patented' Manson Guitar | Patented MID1 Manson]] featuring and inbuilt Whammy controller, though few thought it would be a Manson with an actual whammy pedal built into it.<br />
<br />
The guitar, hardware wise, features standard tuning pegs, custom Manson aluminium tone and volume knobs and an alloy X-Y pad frame. The prototype also features an YES/NO switch for the Whammy, located at the lower horn. This YES/NO switch probably operates similar to those seen on other guitars - muting the main guitar signal from the strings until the whammy is activated. According to Tim Stark's post on MGW, " Touching the Screen also turned the guitar signal 'On' "<br />
seen here: https://www.facebook.com/mansonguitarworks/videos/148147139967604/]<br />
<br />
== Touring ==<br />
<br />
It is unknown at this time if it has been used live. It was would have been used exclusively for [[Break It to Me (song)|Break It To Me]] as the built-in Whammy allowed Bellamy to play the pitch-shifted solo without having to rely on a foot pedal, controlling the Whammy via the X-Y pad where it can go from -2 octaves to +2 octaves (or any other setting programmed) on the XY screen. <br />
<br />
According to a reply in the comments on MGW's Facebook post with the new guitar, it was delivered to Matt and "used right at the end of the tour, it's constant development for us all, even mid tour!" <br />
Although it doesn't seem to have actually been used on the tour.<br />
