    The Handler was one of the songs that got me obsessed with muse back in the day! it rocks! I'd recommend you listen to the studio version as well on your own time

    There's a performance of The Handler filmed in Germany (if you search - The Handler [Live at Gloria Theater, Germany 2015]) it'll come up, I think it's the best live performance of this song they'll ever do, the audio quality is incredible and Matt just effortlessly slides from a D5 to E5 in falsetto (during the part that is 13:54 in this video). Chris' bass is massive in it too.

    I recommend listening again (which judging by the reaction you probably will) and when you get to the middle section take your eyes/ears off the hammer ons and listen more to the relationship between the bass and guitar as a musician. They are both dancing a very contorted and interesting dance, with every new set of 16th notes the bass plays there is a new angle of tension between the two, and to me is a masterpiece. It's like the bass is circling around the guitar picking a moment to go in for the kill. The one other time I think the guitar and bass are in such a battle is in stockholm syndrome verse. It's so simple yet so complicated at the same time and it makes my neurons go mental.

    • @wewantthecup
      @wewantthecup 3 місяці тому

      Yep, the guitar/bass/drums together are absolutely mesmerizing from the solo til the end. I listen to the instrumental more than with vocals. (Don't get me wrong I love the vocals... but the instrumental itself should be in the Math Hall of Fame)

    Hey DH another fair and great reaction! I loooove this song and yes I always thought that the solo lasts just enough before I start thinking "It's been a while since the solo started" haha. But the power in the instruments is amazing, idk why in this show I think Matt's vocals are not 100% but that's my impression, thanks for reacting to Muse!

    One of my favorite straight-forward Muse songs. Happy you were left wanting more! If you want more, check out their studio version, it's really tight, and produced by Mutt Lange of AC/DC fame, and man, the recording is TIGHT. You can also check out the instrumental on youtube, just to appreciate the mesmerizing guitar/bass/drums by themselves. Very Dream Theater-like when vocals are removed.

    Love that you were persuaded into doing a reaction to this one. However, as much as you enjoyed it, due to the strain on the vocals, you really need to listen to the studio track. Incredibly hard to pull this one off live. Really sick video too.

    Hey man, great videos! I respect you a lot - no profuse vulgarity, no snarky commentary, you don't pander for likes and subscribes and you encourage people to watch the whole video before liking or subscribing. I appreciate your reviews; you always do a great analysis and really give each track an honest listen. I am a jazz and progressive rock and metal fan myself so I enjoy a lot of the tracks you review. Keep up the great work! Take care!

      Paranoid Android - Radiohead
      A Million Light Years Away - Stratovarius
      If you've already done them, then don't worry about it.
      Also, are you also a musician and have some original compositions? I would be interested in listening to them, if you do.

      @@gothfather8741 I don't actually write songs, I've tried a couple of times and nothing good has come out of it. However I am pretty good when it comes to arranging songs and taking what someone has written and developing it. For example, someone comes in with a riff (usually it's the chorus), and I'll help build a verse, bridge, intro and outro for that riff.
      I know I've done a reaction for Paranoid Android, I think I've actually done 2 reactions for it. I don't think I've done a reaction to Stratovarius on the channel yet, and there's no requests for Stratovarius in the que. If you would like to make an official request, you have to make it through the Patreon page as a Bronze Tier member or higher.

      In fairness, he saw them on the WOTP tour. As Matt ages, he’s less and less active. He still moves, but nowhere near as much as he used to 20 years ago, understandably so. Just something to remember

    FEELIN' YOU MR HERETIC! Thanks so much for this review, I love the detail you put into your reviews. I think it really makes your channel stand out from the other review channels. I truly think this song is a rock masterpiece, that repetitive elongated guitar section left me a bit disappointed at first as it felt a bit lazy from a production POV, but the more I listened to this song the more I felt it fitted perfectly somehow. The production of Muse's songs are so often faultless IMO.

    The studio version hammer-ons always felt like it went on forever. I'm glad it's the live version and he improvised slightly making it sound better. If you heard the studio version rather than the live one, it would be a completely different score 😅

    • @wewantthecup
      @wewantthecup 3 місяці тому +7

      While I love the improvised live guitar solo, I also think the studio version should be exactly the way it is. To me it's a perfect buildup for Matt to stay in his lane as the drums kick into half-time, building to the following section where the guitars start (layering?) and escalating toward the outro. I never get bored during the guitar solo, I just focus on that drum&bass, where the solo is actually secondary to the rhythm section!
      I actually highly recommend DH take a listen, could be a playlist song for him. Very much Dream Theater-esque.
