Muse frontman Matt Bellamy has told Q that while researching conspiracy theories for lyrics on the band's new album, 'The Resistance', he started taking them all a bit too seriously, rushing out to buy 50 tins of beans and an axe.
He said: "I read somewhere a seven-day blockade and the UK would run out of oil. Another seven days and we'd run out of food. That's why I bought the beans. The axe would chop firewood".
He continued: "I've been through periods where I've felt quite paranoid. But I also believe in the power of people to change things. There is a romance to fighting back against malevolent interests. The last album was dark and angry. This one is all about resisting the corporate-ocracy".
