Bellamy is also a talented pianist and plays keyboards in many of the band's songs.
Bellamy cites some of his guitar playing influences as Jimi Hendrix and Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, the latter being particularly evident in the more riff-based songs on Muse's second album, Origin of Symmetry, and in Bellamy’s extensive use of pitch-shifting effects in his solos.

The Bellamys moved to Devon when Matt was five, and despite the fact that his father had a musical background — as a guitar player with ‘60’s group “The Tornadoes”, whose single ‘Telstar’ was the first USNumber One by a British band — their son didn’t begin playing an instrument, the piano, until he
Bellamy didn’t think too much about these requests at the time and doesn’t seem to think too much about the precocity he displayed back then, even now.
Bellamy’s flat was, he says, “like a scene from Trainspotting, white powders and mirrors everywhere”.
Bellamy explains that this is "the end of the world", with the sequencer building and racing against itself to remind you that there's still a chance to escape before everything comes crashing down.
In this case, it's clear that Bellamy is writing about a romantic situation where he's being held as an emotional hostage and treated unfairly by his love.
Bellamy is no Jonny Greenwood, but he's not a bad guitar player either.
He is obviously one of those singers who, no matter if they are growling or gently whispering (as in the very bluesy 'Falling Down') can make you forget who and where you are with their crystal-clear falsetto.
Matthew announced 'Show Biz', which is also the title of the forthcoming album.
Two more titles that made me wonder whether MatthewBellamy was Farinelli's reincarnation, and made some other people wonder whether all this was not an excuse for the singer to show his voice range.
But the centrepiece is the trio's imminent US debut single 'Muscle Museum', a mash-up of twisted reggae beats, Eastern European string sounds, a volcanically juddering chorus and a boiling geyser of wracked confessional lyrics.
MatthewBellamy, it is sobering to note, as with the other two members of the band, Chris Wolstenholme and drummer Dominic Howard, is 20 years old.
They (Matthew, drummer Dominic Howard and bassist Chris Wolstenholme) write songs of great depth and import, yet refuse to give even the slightest hint as to their meaning because, according to Matthew, "I let everyone look at them how they want to.
MatthewBellamy, PhD/01, Department of History has been named one of four finalists for this year's National Business Book Award, one of Canada's most prestigious literary awards.
Bellamy's book, "Profiting the Crown: Canada's Polymer Corporation, 1942-1990," traces the history of one of Canada's most successful crown companies - Polymer Corporation.
However, Bellamy found that critics of public initiatives tended to cite as cautionary tales the obvious failures of the late twentieth century, while overlooking examples of successful crown corporations.

The musical touchstone for the British trio Muse is obviously Radiohead and that fact is crystal clear from the smoldering opening cut "Sunburn." Their John Leckie-produced debut Showbiz is strong on angst-filled vocals, esoteric lyrics, and dramatic shifts in sonic dynamics.

Hailing from rural England, singer/guitarist MatthewBellamy, bassist Chris Wolstenholme, and drummer Dominic Howard average twenty years of age, so there's plenty of potential for them to grow into a sound that is more of their own.

However the failures of a number of state-run enterprises in the twentieth century have led a majority of Canadians to conclude that government has no place in the boardrooms of the nation.
