Muse to collaborate with The Streets?

Muse have revealed that they would like to work on a rap-rock collaboration with The Streets.

The three-piece said that if they recorded a track with Mike Skinner it could be the "English's answer to Rage Against The Machine".

Singer Matt Bellamy told BBC 6 Music: "I think we would like to do something with Mike Skinner - we haven’t asked him yet actually, but we would like to do English’s answer to Rage Against The Machine.

"Like London rap rock - just like a little one off - it might be a laugh!"

Bellamy also claimed he was keen to work with hotly tipped rockers Does It Offend You, Yeah? in the future.

He added: "We might have a go, yeah. I think they just want a bit of a guitar lick on the top of one of their riffs.

"They’ve got the whole kind of thing taken care of. I might do something with them – that would be cool."

Muse headline this year's V Festival alongside The Verve, Amy Winehouse and Kings of Leon.
