The best bands i have ever seen live are Muse and Radiohead. I'm almost 50. Been to Glastonbury 11 times and many other festivals and concerts. Muse left a profound effect on me after seeing them the first time. Their live performances are something special.
I saw them I think it was back in 2012 at a local 2 days music festival called Kanrocksas, they were headlining the 2nd night, eminem headed the first, and holy balls Muse was freaking awesome!! I had enjoyed their music before then, but their performance that night vaulted them into my top 3 favorite bands of all time. They are one of the last true arena rock bands, but they've evolved it beyond the poppy like bands that were considered arena rock.
Don't forget the pioneers; now, in the rock and roll hall of fame, The Cure! 💋 The best bands live over studio is: 1) MUSE 2) The Cure and 3) A Perfect Circle
@@ocyocyocy I think you calling them pretentious is pretentious haha. I've seen Radiohead live multiple times (as I have seen Muse) and like Muse, even if you don't like the band their show is undeniably amazing. But the best live band ever in my opinion is The Flaming Lips. And Sigur Ros is mindblowing too. Really there are so many great bands in this world!
Agree with Rick, I have seen many, many, many bands, right now, MUSE is the best band, nobody else comes close, period. By the way, I just saw them live in Mexico City 6 weeks ago, 62,000 fans the first night, 56,000 fans the second night, not bad.
I was at Matts parents house servicing their boiler when they were about 14, they were playing in the other room. I told them they would be better off going to college and getting some qualifications first lol
Yeah you should see them. I was lucky enough to have been at the opening night of the two Wembley gigs in 2007 and they were very impressive even back then. They're a great live act, they really are.
I am proud of these guys. They have the talent to sell out like the rest, but didn't. They are more than a band to me. They are the proper voice of Gen-X.
This documentary is great! My favourite band for sure. And yes... They will be remembered as one of the greats. Matt Bellamy is a respected genius with a mind that is ever expanding like the universe he is able to create with his music. I believe that they speak much sense lyrically and are very ahead of their time. The only problem is, no band can quite satisfy me the way this one does. They just hit all the right spots! MUSE !!! ●○¤○● Can't wait to hear more. Cheers to all ya crazy fans out there! 👽👽👽
The one thing people don't realize is that they are a 3 piece band! 😳 I've played in 2 very different 3 piece bands, so I know, it's very, very hard to sound full with only 3 people. Off the top of my head, I can only remember the success of Nirvana! That's why we resort to pedals like Fuzz and Distortion. MUSE is in a league of their own, and I hope they get inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame. They fucking deserve it!
Muse are not only my favorite band (with NIN being a tie), they are my favorite band to photograph. I became a concert photographer in 2009 and they were on my top 3 to shoot. I’ve photographed them several times and every time is both an inspiration and testament to their incredible creativity in their music and live production. That kind of energy they bring is unmatched in my opinion. My mom is not into modern rock at all, but I convinced her to go see them in Nashville on The 2nd Law tour, and even she said “Wow! They’re so talented!” If I can drag my boomer mom to a show and she is blown away, you know they’re doing everything right! 😂😄🎧🎼🎤🎸 Also, Will Of The People is incredible and a comfort in these uncertain times.
I saw them first time in 2007 too 😊 it was in Italy at Arena di Verona (a roman plain air theatre). I was shocked they performed all my favourite songs, including all the extreme Matt’s vocals. They were so powerful! A few time later I bought tickets for the next Italian gig in Turin ❤️
I scrolled this video down many times before opening it thinking that it would be completely lame and something journalists of teen magazines would have done so maybe a lot people thought the same ? The preview doesn't help
Around the time The Resistance album was released, my son turned me on to Muse. Being his favorite band, I gave them my consideration. It took me a bit, but once I saw them live, I've been mesmerized ever since.
Stadium is a latin word so studia is indeed their plural in Latin, as well as in Greek which origin's is from. They were trying here too hard maybe to seem intellectual and used this word 😝
Am I the only one who finds it both appalling and hilarious that Chris got kicked out of his band because he admitted to liking Status Quo? Kids can be such assholes lol
@@Nickalzz Hell yea man, same thing here. I was at that Denver show, best show ever. Going to fly to Salt Lake to catch them one more time it was that good!
the thing about muse that I am amazed about is their organic growth. from unknown to well-known, and then become best live act in the world. man, that requires a lot of hard work. all they did was making good songs with great producers and they slowly grow from there. the niavity of matt not knowing about music history and learn from that, his curiosity and enthusiasm are what makes matt and muse phenomenal. despite their lyrically quite 'controversial' of how they talk about government and anti reliogion, yet they still rock on stage. you can see how each year and album, their music evolve from easy listening to truly experiencing the art itself. they don't need stupid rumours, cheap PR stunt or even br*be from internal connection (well I hope that's not the case). all purely by muse talented in playing instruments and genius lyrics. like damn who still does that these days?? granted they grew in the 2000s where there is no social media. but their hardwork from both muse and their manager really pays off. this documentary only cover showbiz - the resistance. wish there was a talk about their recent record WOTP bcos there are so much more to say after the resistance. the most three controversial albums ie T2L, drones and ST which most hated by fans lmfao. but tbh, only og muse fans hate them, there are fans who actually appreciate and enjoy their work. those commentors were quite biased from the first 4 album, but they sounds ambiguous about the resistance lol. I concur that 2007 was their global breakthrough. I remember they came to my country which we don't always get from international artist but they stop in our city! start to know them in 2009 which is why the resistance always be my fave
Amazing how far Zane has come, really - I remember you chatting if not to Matt, certainly about Muse way back when you first started at Radio 1 & I was still in Devon - I'm in Tasmania now. Still one of the greatest MUSE fans, although heaven knows if I'll ever get to see them play live again - maybe there are miracles! Still love Uno, Cave, Plug in Baby, Bliss, Algorithm, Darkside, Exogenesis, Unsustainable, Assassin, etc. - and after the dreadful dramas of the past 3-years have been very keen to see the band's take and direction and hope to heck MATT et al, is going to give the SYSTEM HELL! Or we're going to end up there before you have a chance to pay your electric bill! Keep safe & plugging on, Matt - love you - always have & always will (you know who you are!) Thanks heaps.
Knights of Cydonia is a very interesting, yet awesome song. When I'm ranking all of the Muse songs from best to worst it's one of the trickier songs to rank, but it's certainly in the top 10. The first 3 minutes of the song are extremely mediocre by Muse standards, but it builds up and sets the stage for one of the most epic minutes of music ever created and the song jams out and continues on a high level through the final 2 minutes of the song. But pretty much everyone is grinding through the first 3 minutes of the song to get to the part that sends chills down their spine. Now take a song like Bliss for example, which begins and remains on an epic level from the first second forward... just perhaps not at the insanely epic level that Knights of Cydonia hits at it's peak. I end up giving the edge to Bliss and some other Muse songs that are consistently amazing throughout, whereas I don't enjoy the first 3 minutes of Knights of Cydonia.
All of this comparing with Radiohead in the comments 🤨. I love both bands. Why hate and compare? I got to see them years ago for The Cure’s Curiosa tour. They were amazing!!!
Mmm,Mmm,Mmm,Mmm,Mmm,Mmm,Mmm,Mmm,Mmman I sometimes sadly forget MUSE and I'm not sure why...they're the respectable Coldplay and Oasis had Mrs Gallagher only had 1 son that got into making music....they're the British Pearl Jam in many ways. The album with Strarlight and Supermassive Blackhole will always be special to me and remind me of a certain time period....and if my intro didn't give it away I really dig that tune Madness and I relate very much. Thanks for uploading this.
Have you seen the making of Absolution vid on yt? There, I remember Rich Costey (producer) talking about how matt's writing technique is very similar to phillip glass without (matt) even knowing phillip glass and I think that's when Costey introduced them to his music and apparently Take a Bow was also majorly influenced by him and its also what got matt more interested in instrumental stuff as well.
Hope you've been enjoying your Muse journey!! I saw them back in 99 when they did a record store tour with acoustic guitars, and I've loved them since hearing those opening keyboard notes of Sunburn 🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🎵🎹🙂🙂🙂🤗🤗
I believe muse is what made the warming kind of on some people's radar. The warning i personally feel is kind of inspired by muse, and the girls probably do love muse growing up listening to them other than other band like metallica and others but yea what got the warning into my radar was their muse covers when they were younger then years and years later surprise, surprise they are on a metallica album that is full of covers by various artists. So y'know what muse should be proud that they are one of the reasons bands like the warning look up to them in a way. There are people look up to muse , there are people look up to Linkin park, these bands must be proud that they were able to inspire new upcoming bands nowadays
At first it was difficult for me to see Muse's influence on bands like The Warning, but if they say so themselves, well. Some others see it easily, but say that muse ruins those bands with their influence. Whatever. Muse is an inspiring band and remembered in the future as one of the greats
I remember a wild sold out show in Salt Lake City years ago. Can't remember what year because I've been to them all 😂 but it was after BHAR. I first heard OTIRO on the radio and it bothered me I didnt know who the band was but then found them after New Born played in a French horror film I saw and I was hooked ever since. My favorite band by far🎉 Good memories
Everyone is forgetting the pioneers that inspired a ton of bands. That's The Cure! 💋 I just saw them 4 days ago. My 1st time seeing them since they were inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame! I also played in a Cure tribute band for 7 years. Unfortunately, my EX went back on his promise to take my daughter and I to MUSE in April. This would've been her 1st concert ever. 😡 But, I was on the floor when I saw them on their Drones Tour! With MUSE, it would've been better to have a seat because of their production, and no need to take drugs, the adrenaline will be enough to bring on a heart attack....
My musician mate has been a huge fan since the start, but Matt's vocals and the writing did seem a poor mans Radiohead to me. Decades later I do understand what my mate was talking about. The bass is still my favourite part of this band, and Matt's vocals still grate on me in the same way Coldplay does.
Nice doc..however as this was uploaded just a year ago (it says) I was disappointed it didn't include anything on my favourite LP of theirs, Drones, or the latest album
I bought their 1999 album after hearing Sunburn . Fantastic album but they lost me when they began to sound like Ultravox with the song Uprising and stuff that sounded like bloody Queen ..if you’re buying indie bands in 1999 you generally won’t want to be hearing Queen tributes 10 years later as you’d probably been bored of Queen 30 years before . They didn’t need to ape that style in my humble opinion because those songs from early 2000s sounded fantastic 😁❤️
I started listening to them in 2011 or so, and I couldn’t agree more but with a different period of time in mind. I adore every song on their first 5 albums but even tho they are special to me, starting from “drones”, I haven’t been finding myself listening to any of their new tracks, sadly. I believe, a band who’d been so experimental and “harsh” shouldnve named their songs “we’re fucking fucked” when we had amazing titles like “knights of cydonia” (the thing is not only in the title, but in them sounding too commercially influenced)
When Muse first started getting big, I was hooked. There was obviously a big Radiohead similarity there, but for the most part nothing really sounded like them. Lots of good songs early on. But I gotta admit that their sound gets a bit redundant from track to track. So I rarely listen to them these days, often needing a lot of time in between so as not to wear out my ears from their songs all kinda sounding the same. But I do enjoy their music more than most modern bands. Now, "modern day Beatles"? Not at all. Rick Rubin is a hyperbole machine. But they're certainly talented and put on a great live show. Something else most modern bands fail at.
That's funny, I found myself thinking the exact opposite. Although I generally need breaks in listening to music, Muse is that one band that keeps pulling me back into listening again and again, and it's the only band I don't get tired of. I can go for weeks without really listening to anything on purpose but accidentally hearing or remembering a Muse song will force me to go through their entire library full volume. They have a distinct sound that can be perceived as "all the same" but each composition is so interesting and complex, each time I hear them there's something new to discover.
@@anzelaiv exactly, for me muse is pretty much the only band I've found that I can listen to a whole album in one go without feeling burnt out, and I've listened to quite a lot of bands. They certainly have a style and tone of melancholy their songs tend to stick to, but I find that each song experiments within that. Sadly I can't say the same about their new albums.
I have been listening to them for half a year now and still haven't burned out yet . I tried to listen to other of my favourite artists but they just sound now as glorious as they used to. Note that I am a " new fan" as I always liked them and knew many of their songs as I played "best of muse" videos, but when I really sat down and listened carefully to their music I realized what an out of this world this band is.
I get the "sounds all the same" thing somewhat. It is what makes me listen to Rammstein for about a week and then not again for the next 12 months. But in case of Muse I think it is just tue frame in which they actually vary quite a lot. They found a way to experiment with different styles and influences and still sound like Muse everytime.
the radiohead comparison always pissed me off for muse's debut. ooh, they were british and the leads were high pitched. but showbiz was just darker and vastly varied and diff.
they were basically untouchable for the first three albums, to my ears everything after sounds like a parody of themselves... i am sure they still are a great live act today but regarding releases the cracks started showing in 2006 and became canyons very quickly somehow
@@JJ-ze6vbNepotism? George Bellamy was no longer in The Tornadoes when Muse was formed. He went bankrupt when Matt was still a kid. Muse were turned down over and over again. It was the Muscle Museum EP that finally put them out there.
I mean.. it's one of their most popular songs..? Knights Of Cydonia, just with some instruments stripped away Or.. vocals rather, not instruments 😅 Then again, you could argue the voice is also an instrument. Whatever. You get the point.
No talking about Space Dementia when you talk so much about origin of symmetry ... Nor "Assassin" when talking about Black Holes And Revelation... In the end, this is a very light and superficial documentary. I guess a lot of background was missing for an almost 2h length
It boggles my mind that Maverick wasn't impressed with Origin of Symmetry and didn't release it in the US. It's one of the greatest albums of all time. It does contain one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life (Feeling Good), but aside from that the album is amazing. But I think it was more of a power play by Maverick because they didn't get their way in the changes they wanted to make, so they stubbornly held their ground. But It almost seems as though they were intentionally doing and asking ridiculous things of the band so the band would want to be released from their contract, but I don't understand the technicalities as to why that would seem advantageous to Maverick.Obviously a gargantuan mistake in hindsite, even though it was an obvious mistake during the present time as well. Had Maverick released it, it would have blown up who knows how much more than what it did.
The people they chose to add commentary to this video all seem to have a narrow field of knowledge and don't seem to realise that concept albums are very common in the field of hard rock and heavy metal. These commentary people have lived sheltered musical lives.
They're one of those bands like Status Quo (ironically), The Jam, The Stone Roses, Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers, Pulp, etc., that were huge in the UK but didn't do much over here in the U.S. They're ok but I think they sounded too much like a grandiose, second-tier Radiohead.
Matt Bellamy is a genius.What a band.That’s an understatement!

The warning i personally feel is kind of inspired by muse, and the girls probably do love muse growing up listening to them other than other band like metallica and others but yea what got the warning into my radar was their muse covers when they were younger then years and years later surprise, surprise they are on a metallica album that is full of covers by various artists. So y'know what muse should be proud that they are one of the reasons bands like the warning look up to them in a way. There are people look up to muse , there are people look up to Linkin park, these bands must be proud that they were able to inspire new upcoming bands nowadays
At first it was difficult for me to see Muse's influence on bands like The Warning, but if they say so themselves, well. Some others see it easily, but say that muse ruins those bands with their influence. Whatever. Muse is an inspiring band and remembered in the future as one of the greats

I remember a wild sold out show in Salt Lake City years ago. Can't remember what year because I've been to them all 😂 but it was after BHAR. I first heard OTIRO on the radio and it bothered me I didnt know who the band was but then found them after New Born played in a French horror film I saw and I was hooked ever since. My favorite band by far🎉 Good memories
Everyone is forgetting the pioneers that inspired a ton of bands. That's The Cure! 💋
I just saw them 4 days ago. My 1st time seeing them since they were inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame! I also played in a Cure tribute band for 7 years.
Unfortunately, my EX went back on his promise to take my daughter and I to MUSE in April. This would've been her 1st concert ever. 😡 But, I was on the floor when I saw them on their Drones Tour!
With MUSE, it would've been better to have a seat because of their production, and no need to take drugs, the adrenaline will be enough to bring on a heart attack....
Got to party with Radiohead a couple nights before they opened for REM … that was interesting …love me some. muse
OMG I love they played the demo music I love that stuff
Perfect
Great stuff, guys.
Muse. Matt got what he wanted. Done. 🖤
What do you mean ?
Go indigo starseeds go. Love Muse and the awakening codes they share with the collective.
This is the 'muse: under review' dvd rip btw
My musician mate has been a huge fan since the start, but Matt's vocals and the writing did seem a poor mans Radiohead to me. Decades later I do understand what my mate was talking about. The bass is still my favourite part of this band, and Matt's vocals still grate on me in the same way Coldplay does.
Nice doc..however as this was uploaded just a year ago (it says) I was disappointed it didn't include anything on my favourite LP of theirs, Drones, or the latest album
Watch them play twice Feb 2007 & july 2023 @ Kuala Lumpur
You could play me one of their songs and I'd have no idea who they were.
Oh dear!😳
When you say Revolutionary, what exactly do you mean?
Aaaa, thank you!
I bought their 1999 album after hearing Sunburn . Fantastic album but they lost me when they began to sound like Ultravox with the song Uprising and stuff that sounded like bloody Queen ..if you’re buying indie bands in 1999 you generally won’t want to be hearing Queen tributes 10 years later as you’d probably been bored of Queen 30 years before . They didn’t need to ape that style in my humble opinion because those songs from early 2000s sounded fantastic 😁❤️
Queen were amazing, would be an honour to be compared to them surely?
For us that didn't grow up with Queen I am glad that they sound how they sound
I started listening to them in 2011 or so, and I couldn’t agree more but with a different period of time in mind. I adore every song on their first 5 albums but even tho they are special to me, starting from “drones”, I haven’t been finding myself listening to any of their new tracks, sadly.
I believe, a band who’d been so experimental and “harsh” shouldnve named their songs “we’re fucking fucked” when we had amazing titles like “knights of cydonia” (the thing is not only in the title, but in them sounding too commercially influenced)
When Muse first started getting big, I was hooked. There was obviously a big Radiohead similarity there, but for the most part nothing really sounded like them. Lots of good songs early on. But I gotta admit that their sound gets a bit redundant from track to track. So I rarely listen to them these days, often needing a lot of time in between so as not to wear out my ears from their songs all kinda sounding the same. But I do enjoy their music more than most modern bands. Now, "modern day Beatles"? Not at all. Rick Rubin is a hyperbole machine. But they're certainly talented and put on a great live show. Something else most modern bands fail at.
That's funny, I found myself thinking the exact opposite. Although I generally need breaks in listening to music, Muse is that one band that keeps pulling me back into listening again and again, and it's the only band I don't get tired of. I can go for weeks without really listening to anything on purpose but accidentally hearing or remembering a Muse song will force me to go through their entire library full volume.
They have a distinct sound that can be perceived as "all the same" but each composition is so interesting and complex, each time I hear them there's something new to discover.
@@anzelaiv exactly, for me muse is pretty much the only band I've found that I can listen to a whole album in one go without feeling burnt out, and I've listened to quite a lot of bands. They certainly have a style and tone of melancholy their songs tend to stick to, but I find that each song experiments within that. Sadly I can't say the same about their new albums.
I have been listening to them for half a year now and still haven't burned out yet . I tried to listen to other of my favourite artists but they just sound now as glorious as they used to. Note that I am a " new fan" as I always liked them and knew many of their songs as I played "best of muse" videos, but when I really sat down and listened carefully to their music I realized what an out of this world this band is.
I get the "sounds all the same" thing somewhat. It is what makes me listen to Rammstein for about a week and then not again for the next 12 months.
But in case of Muse I think it is just tue frame in which they actually vary quite a lot. They found a way to experiment with different styles and influences and still sound like Muse everytime.
Fav album Doolittle. Fav song Tame
Was lovely to get the Queen reference in there and then mr NME had to spoil it.
the radiohead comparison always pissed me off for muse's debut. ooh, they were british and the leads were high pitched. but showbiz was just darker and vastly varied and diff.
the natural successors to Rush and Radiohead. Deep down they're proggers.
Good work!
I have also made a first 8-series film about Muse. Please welcome to enjoy!
1) The Beatles 2) The Queen 3) Muse...
Sono così avanti che non tutti lo possono raggiungere 🦉🌟🔥🔥
they were basically untouchable for the first three albums, to my ears everything after sounds like a parody of themselves... i am sure they still are a great live act today but regarding releases the cracks started showing in 2006 and became canyons very quickly somehow
Never be afraid to die.
Well, at 06:45 we hear where Matt got his inspiration for Knights of Cydonia from.
We also hear how Nepotism always helps.
@@JJ-ze6vbNepotism? George Bellamy was no longer in The Tornadoes when Muse was formed. He went bankrupt when Matt was still a kid. Muse were turned down over and over again. It was the Muscle Museum EP that finally put them out there.
Used to play gigs with muse back in the day, as soon as they were signed the only one that had time for local bands was chris
Well, ya didn’t cut it. Time is limited, why waste it on amateurs?
Lo sconosciuto del lago di Como 🎁👑♥️😍
45:51 saving time for later
muse the new prog rock version of yes? their new albums good?
I was a teenager when yes were big. Both great bands, Muse Keep me happy in my senior years🤪
Be with muse since Kennedy
What is VICAR???
No Muse music?
Mamamamamaad maad maad
Madness.....
Probably on a par with queen.
Love Muse, my favourite band ever. Id like to think they didnt succumb to the pressures of mandates and government control during the past few years.
What a fecking find neverseen
Mushroom Australia 🤘🏴🇦🇺
Could someone identify the intro song starting 0:40 please?
I mean.. it's one of their most popular songs..? Knights Of Cydonia, just with some instruments stripped away
Or.. vocals rather, not instruments 😅
Then again, you could argue the voice is also an instrument. Whatever. You get the point.
It's not Knights of Cydonia as per the other comment. It's some weird fake version of Knights, with slightly differing melodies and rhythms etc.
Church guy be like "positive lyrics about love huh?*
"The good news is she can't have babies"
Rocket baby dolls!!!! Woooooo
No talking about Space Dementia when you talk so much about origin of symmetry ... Nor "Assassin" when talking about Black Holes And Revelation... In the end, this is a very light and superficial documentary. I guess a lot of background was missing for an almost 2h length
im about to throw up from all the "you know", and im only 40 minutes in 😂
Very Spinal Tap-esque documentary lmao
I found this hagiographic.
Matthew’s picture in the thumbnail looks like Tom Hiddleston.
never...heard of them.
Ok boomer
@@marinatz9269 hahahaha!!!
@@marinatz9269 explain yourself!
Your loss!
It boggles my mind that Maverick wasn't impressed with Origin of Symmetry and didn't release it in the US. It's one of the greatest albums of all time. It does contain one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life (Feeling Good), but aside from that the album is amazing. But I think it was more of a power play by Maverick because they didn't get their way in the changes they wanted to make, so they stubbornly held their ground. But It almost seems as though they were intentionally doing and asking ridiculous things of the band so the band would want to be released from their contract, but I don't understand the technicalities as to why that would seem advantageous to Maverick.Obviously a gargantuan mistake in hindsite, even though it was an obvious mistake during the present time as well. Had Maverick released it, it would have blown up who knows how much more than what it did.
Seriously you find Feeling good horrible?for me they managed to turn a boring song into something amazing
@@marinatz9269 - it's literally the worst song I've ever heard
I hate these docs these unofficial docs that the band had nothing to do with and the music on em made to sound like their tracks but is far from it.
Don keeyyy 😂
Ridiculous rewriting of history.
The people they chose to add commentary to this video all seem to have a narrow field of knowledge and don't seem to realise that concept albums are very common in the field of hard rock and heavy metal. These commentary people have lived sheltered musical lives.
They're one of those bands like Status Quo (ironically), The Jam, The Stone Roses, Stereophonics, Manic Street Preachers, Pulp, etc., that were huge in the UK but didn't do much over here in the U.S.
They're ok but I think they sounded too much like a grandiose, second-tier Radiohead.
Muse were great. Electrascope were better. Some guys have all the luck.
