Matt Bellamy and Hilary Woods...

Matt: "Wanna breeed?"

Hilary: "Tempting... but, no."

Muse's Matt Bellamy and Hilary W

oods of JJ72 together on the same picture. There's something I never thought I would see....

It's strange to think that they toured together... back when JJ72 were still active and Muse were at their best - and not yet drowning themselves in their own 'over the top - cheese-ness'...

Matt looks like he's trying to crack onto Hilary, and Hilary is smiling politely back, but actually looks quite scared!

The Quietus | Features | Anniversary | Looking For Water: Ten Years On JJ72's Debut Revisited

I can't believe JJ72'S debut was over 10 years ago!

What a flippin brilliant, brilliant band.

They deserved to be around alot longer than they were. JJ72 have always been a pet favourite band of mine. I even spent a while back there hunting down jj72 merchandise from ebay... t shirts, badges and what have you...

I remember very excitedly listening (and taping) an interview with radiohead, possibly on radio1 just prior to their kid A release and hearing 'October Swimmer' for the first time, falling deeply in love with it, the 'I don't need anyone' lyric in particular, and rewinding the tape over and over just to hear it again... Ever since then, they've always kept a very fond place for them...
