Muse Frontman Matt Bellamy has revealed that a recent experiment with drugs made him feel like he was in a Salvador Dali painting.

Bellamy, who said he wasn’t in favour of narcotics, said he only took them once a year because the hallucinogenic trip "opens new doorways".

Recalling a trip on a bouncy castle at a Las Vegas fancy dress party, Bellamy said: "Dom [Howard, Muse drummer] had a dog mask on and he ran off into the desert and I ran after him. For a minute I was actually in a Salvador Dali painting.

“If you look at his painting 'The Elephants', I was the little person at the bottom of those elephants' legs,” the singer told Q.

Is Bellamy right to divulge his drug antics? Leave us a comment below and let us know...

  • To quote Bill Hicks... ”No, I don’t do drugs anymore, either. But I’ll tell you something about drugs. I used to do drugs, but I’ll tell you something honestly about drugs, honestly, and I know it’s not a very popular idea, you don’t hear it very often anymore, but it is the truth: I had a great time doing drugs. Sorry. Never murdered anyone, never robbed anyone, never raped anyone, never beat anyone, never lost a job, a car, a house, a wife or kids, laughe

  • First I’ll say that I’m a huge Muse fan but It’s irresponsible for Matt Bellamy to endorse drugs (even if its only once a year) It just justifies drugs more in the heads of the legion of kids who love Muse. I had a friend in high school who died after trying drugs for the very first time. Sorry Matt, but its just not cool.

  • I will say that I do not like hard drugs like coke or meth, never even tried them. But I do like magic mushrooms. They’re a great time if you take them with the right people in the right place. And they definitely do open some doors, especially artistic ones. I love playing my guitar while I’m tripping. I think that it should be everyone’s own choice about drugs, but they should be respectfull of what the drug is capable of and know what they are getting into. Great Bill Hicks

  • gotta respect honesty in anyone. He is a very down to earth bloke living a surreal life... and it sure beats the hell out of those famous people (like sports people) who act all holier than thou until they get caught... I dont think he is endorsing drugs.. he seems fairly intelligent and has a child .. I just dont think he likes to bullshit about himself .. makes a rock god seem human. I have 3 kids who are all MAD muse fans... its up to ME to teach them that drugs are wrong not Matt Bellamy
