what the famous people have to say about dEUS

THE IDEAL CRASH - official dEUS website

 

Shirley Manson, Garbage

In 1999, she said on an Australian radio that The Ideal Crash is her favorite album. This was not very long after she headlined the Beach festival in Belgium with dEUS.

Phil Selway, Radiohead

In 1997, Radiohead played a few hours before dEUS at the Belgian T/W festival. Phil came to see the band backstage after their performance, and told Julle that he was very impressed.

Michael Stipe, R.E.M.

He's a dEUS fan.
And Tom is a R.E.M. fan.
A happy coincidence :)

The Walkabouts, USA

They covered Wake Me Up Before I Sleep on their latest album called Train Leaves At Eight. Leader Chris Eckman explains this choice :

The final track on the Belgian band Deus' second album, this is one of my all time favorite three in the morning songs. We met Deus in 1993 when they opened for us in their native Antwerp. It was one of those opening sets that you felt lucky to have witnessed. A year later, at the same club, Tom Barman brought us a tape of their just completed debut. All the promise of that earlier set had been captured. We have remained fans ever since.

  And Reef, Idlewild and Muse each requested dEUS videos when they were invited by M2 Europe (the dark side of MTV, an amazing digital channel) to choose their own music hour. Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy said he would like to write a song with dEUS.
POLL : 01OCT - best dEUS video

A hands-down victory for Hotellounge and Roses, which surprised me. I voted for Roses, thinking I'd be one of the very few to do so : it's a dark video, somehow insane. I especially love the Chinese characters. As for the Hotellounge video, well, I'm glad that many of you are "old-school" dEUS fans - after all, this is hotellounge.com :)
I also like to see that almost nobody voted for Sister Dew : that one's so dull ... As for the FOTFM video, has anyone ever seen it on TV ?

 

25AUG - there is beauty here / he's so cute
Uh, should I really comment on this ? Obviously you got the message : this poll was for fun and has no serious meaning at all. How else could anyone have voted for Rudy and Julle ;)
