There's no denying it, Bellamy is a musical genius
He's awesome, no doubt!
Oui c'est évident je suis complètement d'accord avec vous un génie Talentueux brilliant omg🙏🎸👍👏😱
When I first heard Muse I didnt really like them, but my now wife dragged me to a Muse concert as she was a big fan. Holy hell this band is so goddamn good live. Definetely one of the top live bands out there and slowly they started to grow on me, for me personally thats important. Whenever i come across a new band I always check their live stuff and Muse definetely raised the bad. True professionals
This right here. About four bands I will pay to see live. Muse, NIN, Tool, and Gojira.
Muse are legends of the game. Muse have always had a metal quality to them. Deadstar is a good example of that.
Hell yeah!
Stockholm syndrome as well instrumentally
Actually, Muse is a band that doesn't need to play Metal to sound aggressive. Dead Star is also something Space Rock/Metal.
Nice reaction! I’m a metalhead but overall just a huge fan of music. I’ve been listening to muse since 2003 when absolution was released. They are on my top 5 of all time. Just seen them in Philly last month. The rumors about being one of the best live shows were without a doubt true.
Matt also did a growl in one of their pop songs, Madness, this year. Look it up, it’s pretty funny 😆 The crowd goes crazy.
Hell yeah, I'll check it out!
Not a fan of Muse but I recognize their quality.
one of the most mature things ever written on the internet
Absolutely!
Love that
Muse fan here, saw them live this summer. The song really slaps, and was an experience to watch live. I have seen too many live versions of this song, and he is quite consistent in that growl. Not a big Metal head, but throughout their career theyve made it a mission to make a song of every genre, so huge praise that it comes across this well.
That's awesome, thanks for sharing!
Man I LOVE the heavy section of this song, it's actually incredible
It's pretty great, yeah!
Great vid - nice to hear the repect for Muse and it's reciprocated as per the following from Matt which I thought you might appreciate: '“It was nice to actually find something that we weren't good at, and actually try and get really good at it,” Muse singer Matt Bellamy tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “Because metal, it turns out these metal players are absolute geniuses.”
Matt’s son lovesss heavy music, especially Slipknot, i hope they do more heavy stuff!! I know they’ve done some heavy stuff before!
I am a big fan of Muse for years and I am definitely loving this heavier side here! 😍
The Muse fandom loves this song. Mixing styles well in songs is good for music. I'm sure some metal gatekeepers will knock it but it's good to get a growl into a mainstream band surely.
One thing he’s always done well is use the guitar to amplify what his vocals are doing.
Your reaction to the switch to that deeper, more metal section, was pure gold.
As a muse fan, I really liked the analysis of the growl and Matt's voice. Loved the video
Great video!
Muse are big metal fans. Live, they often throw in tributes to Deftones and Slipknot as segues, between songs. Matt said in an interview how they wanted to pay tribute to some of the Nu Metal bands of the 90's such as Korn and Limp Bizkit. Their eclectic style keeps me gravitating back to them over the years..
That's super cool!
I am a Muse fan who isn't really into metal and UA-cam brought me here. I am glad you like the song.
Getting lowered and raised in such a smooth motion when you did the deep breaths was so surreal
Brothers for 25+ years and still doing amazing things. Bellamy needs to be viewed as a composer as much as he’s a vocalist and guitarist… and pianist. Let’s face it, the man can probably play any instrument you place in his lap.
They kind of merge any genre with their own very distinctive Muse dna to perfection. Tbh, i think it's completely unique. Especially for big names.
this sounded much heavier live, was definitely my favorite song of their concert
just saw MUSE last month in LA and as always.... mind blown! what a blast to see live.
This song is musical genius. they do it as the first of 2 songs in the encore of their live set on the tour they’re currently on. And damn it is an out of body experience to hear performed, the sound scape is huge. A literal wall of sound blasted at you!!!
Great reaction. I love seeing people being surprised and amazing by Muse.
Hell yeah!
It was awesome to see you talk about my fav band of all time and you gave me some awesome insights i didnt even know about, thank you... you MUST try their new song "Wont Stand Down" which has many more screams!!! :)
That song is so damn good!
That chug of the guitar.midway through was a suprise but sounded awesome abd then his growl was cool as well. Wow this was a killer song it was very dynamic but like you said smooth transitions from the heavier sounds into the more typical Muse sound. I'll be cranking this one for quite some time
Genuinely amazed at this... as a teen I heard time is running out, loved it! but never really looked further as the next up was much softer, damn. Also cheers Mark! As always I love how you word understandable words
if you loved this, then I HIGHLY recommend, almost demand that you check out another song from their new album, Won't Stand Down. That song is worth reacting to just because of how much it belittles the tiny little heavy section of this song. Not to spoil anything, but there are some background fry-like screams, while musically it is incredible (-y heavy, for Muse, at least.)
Just coming back from the gigs in rome and milan. This song is s killer live. Just love it. And in rome we got stockholm syndrome too.
Never change matt bellamy!
Big Muse fan, haven't really dove into metal that much. I really enjoyed the breakdown here and I really appreciate the technical aspects of making a good metal vocal sound you displayed! Great vid!
I've been a muse fan for about 20 years. When I first heard this song (and it was unexpected as I was listening to video clips on twitter), my jaw hit the floor. I haven't had that reaction for a very long time with them!
Huge Muse fan, not a Metal fan. This video and reaction is outstanding. I'm a new fan! Your passion is infectious
I think you meant not a metal fan *yet*
Oh honey we’ve all been there. You’ll grow.
Cues the chills at 22:22
Also, Devin Townsend Muse sounds insane. Even just a feature would be sick
Right?! Agreed!
The Muse Fandom absolutely loves it
Gotta give it to Muse. Every time they try a new or different genre, it’s always fucking great.
You need to react to Won't Stand Down!! Trust me!
Anymore muse reactions in the future? Stockholm syndrome, won’t stand down, assassin, citizens erased, dead star, hyper music, the handler would be great places to go!
Just appreciating your opening comments. Spot on, and gave me a good laugh!
Glad to hear it!
Longtime Muse fan, but have also spent my fair share of time in the heavy and -core spaces in the early-mid 2000s, so it was really interesting to hear your perspective!
The guys have always been all about experimentation and paying respect to influences (including old school metal groups), but while the heavy vocals are new, a lot of longtime fans agree that this song feels like a return to older Muse in a lot of ways :)
They also have brought on Dan Lancaster (producer/mixer for Bring Me the Horizon & A Day to Remember) as their touring 4th man, who also mixed another song on this album ("Won't Stand Down"). So, maybe they'll continue to experiment in this space. Thanks again for your insights and breakdowns (no pun intended)!
I have been a Muse fan since their first album. To be honest, their first couple of albums (at least in my opinion) were alternative/prog Metal e.g. Absolution and Origin of Symmetry. Personally their music has alot of Neoclassical/Grungy/Prog ect... I mean they did change their sound a bit throughout the years and it was not always to my liking but you can never deny the genius of the composition,arrangement and work put in their music
This song was amazing live
The bass guitarist, Chris, can throw in some (to my untrained ear - I just know what I like!) lovely growls as well. I saw one version of this song live where he was doing all of those parts. Love your reactions!
This is an awesome song, i never listened too Muse much but this song is cool.
Definitely!
I've seen a lot of people surprised by Muse being heavy, and while this is the heaviest song of their's that I've heard, it definitely is not their only heavy track. My favorite example of Muse's heavier side is "Liquid State". Banger of a song off of a banger of an album, that is littered with heavier moments.
"Muse isn't a metal band".
Entire fandom: How dare you sir.
As a Muse fan I fucking love it, funnily enough was also one of the first to hear it as they played for the first time at Rock Am Ring before it released :)
Really enjoyed your view on this, thanks!
I loved this song, it's agreat composition. Would just prefer if it would get more lower end presence in the intro/outro riff.
I love your channel, and your personality, I feel like you could be a best friend of mine. What is muse doing in this Chanel? Hahaha, I am seeing them soon here in Málaga (Spain) soon in Bigfest, 10th Sept 2022, and I am more metal focused, I like some Muse songs but cannot listen to a hole CD of them... I get bored? but friends told me that their live shows is really good, so I am looking fordward to it.... Shit I would never expect Muses singer growling, great!!! Hope they play this song on the concert!!!! 🔥
Before I really discovered metal, muse was one of the bands that made me go "oh wait what's that?" With super massive black hole.
When I mostly listened to rock, I always liked Stockholm Syndrome a lot. In retrospect, I understand that one of the things that draws me to metal is the intensity, and early Muse had a lot of it. They were actually quite trashy. And apparently, they still remember it too.
Muse was DEFINITELY my gateway drug into metal. \M/
Theres a live video knocking about youtube. Its note fucking perfect
Muse WERE a long haired metal band as kids. They know their past.
Huge muse fan but not a big metal head. Really enjoyed the video though, very interesting and a great reaction!
Couple interesting things: If you are looking for more low end in the mix, they've played this live at a bunch of festivals and its much more present in the live mix. Matt has said in an interview that he's had a doctor look at his vocal cords and said that they are smaller than average for a man, which maybe helps his upper vocal range? Also there's a really old clip from a festival of Muse's drummer Dom getting ahold of Corey Taylor's mask and messing around with it, and I think they said Slipknot was an influence on this album, or maybe just this song - I can't remember exactly. And, as many people have said, they do have some heavier songs like Stockholm Syndrome (the ERRA cover is awesome) and Assassin, plus some deeper cuts like Dead Star, Citizen Erased, and listen to Micro Cuts for some insane vocal range (bonus points for live version). Sorry for the essay :)
Also, I'd kill for a full album in the style of KOBK and Stockholm Syndrome. Literally.
I'll have to check those out - thanks for sharing!
It's only a matter of time until a fully established band (like a Muse etc) goes full into death metal for at least a whole song instead of small sections and 1 or 2 screams. And i cant wait
I think the song is really awesome. Muse is a band you can hear on the radio. The fact that such a well-known band that is also mainstream dares harder things is great. Music has much more to offer in any genre than many know. And so you can bring it closer to people. Also with other styles that have influence in their songs.
This song is actually really fun to listen to and has grown on me. I was hoping for a more metal album, but this suffices along with Won’t Stand Down and We are f*****g f****d
Muse has some pretty great metal songs. Stockholm Syndrome, Dead Star, Small Print, Psycho, Assassin (favorite since I’m a drummer), Hyper Music, Citizen Erased, etc.
I'll have to check more of those out!
@@KardavoxAcademy dead star is literally a meshuggah riff (Demiurge)
Muse are the best band in the world without competition
That's high praise!
I kinda wanted the song to open up like spite screaming "it's kill or be fucking killed"
Bro my favorite lyric by Spite is " Turn it upside and shove it up your fucking cunt" makes me laugh every time 😂
This song is amazing. You should also listen to won't stand down
I'm gonna start using resonator hole now. Thank you for the terminology.
Amazing reaction my friend!!....I am a metal lover and I think you are the right person to give us your opinion about this incredible singer and performer, because you are an expert singer and vocalist....In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just It was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coach, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 and 5 years have passed since then, but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you...You have to be prepared because you ar going to receive an avalanche of views, comments and new subscribers....I leave you one more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
19:50 is the best concise step by step false cord tutorial I've ever seen.
Great video. Your presentation and knowledge makes this channel work. I am more of a hard rock fan than metal fan, but crossovers such as this are beautiful! Cheers. Keep singing! PS: I thought MUSE should have gone more metal years ago (during the lame 2010 album years), and this is what I meant. Better late than never.
I was at Rock am Ring and was one of the lucky people who got to listen to this song for the first time and it was crazy! The crowd around me love it and I‘ve been listening to it ever since!
Loved the intro :D
Loved this reaction! 😎
Im a new follower and I believe I really going to enjoy your content! 😃
OG, Muse was very metal/hard rock. They abandoned that about 10 years ago especially. But the old fans will never forget and never stop missing what they used to be. This is the closest we've got to Origin Of Symmetry style again. I had hopes for a more metal album in the end, since they claimed to be inspired by Slipknot when making it, but having any heavy Muse to listen to again is absolutely amazing.
I'd say they didn't move on so much as experiment but there have always been little touches of that old heavy must peppered in. That said man nothing they do disappoints me.
You mean 20 years, right?
@@indranw11 Nah, IMO they lost it entirely once Drones came out. That is now more than 9 years ago.
I love Muse since Black Holes, when I watched Invincible for the first time. Great Band.
Havent seen him this excited since the sword swinging with Will Ramos.. Excellent video!
Forever I was sceptical of muse….but now I get it….they have always driven music in the forward trajectory…sometimes I have bought into it and sometimes not…but after this I am here to stay as a fan…
Dude I immediately liked this video solely on Marks speech in the beginning! Hell yeah bud! Tell e’m! Love your content 🤘🏻
Thanks bro!
Whilst it have never gone down the metal rabbit hole, I know one thing from talking to metal fans... Metal for the most part has a very devote, passionate and knowledgeable fanbase. Almost snobbish (in a complimentary sense) in their passion. That said, muse are maestro musicians who operate at the highest level of their craft. This isn't metal. This is Muse! They have graced metal with some moments within their artistic endeavours. You and I are all welcome.
MUSE is my religion ❤️❤️❤️ cheers from Brazil ❤️
13:55 DUDE, MUSE DOING HEAVY SHT !!!!
Well, prepare to be surprised them my friend, this song is their first song i've ever heard in my life, before this i didn't even know they existed.
First of all may I say, I really like your in depth breakdown of the vocals brilliant detail.
Also would be interesting to see your take of “muse - micro cuts live hullabaloo” as this contains another type of scream that I think would be interesting to hear your take on?
That riff makes me think of Drowning Pool.
Interesting!
Check out We are fucking fucked - by them, lmao.
You should analyze Won't Stand Down by Muse
Love the reaction!!
This is definitely one of my favourite Muse songs in a long time, although I love all their stuff. I much prefer their heavier style though.
The thing you are talking about at 22:00 is called open string bounce and Muse is very known for using this technique a lot since forever. Hysteria (2003), Stockholm Syndrome (2003), Futurism (2001), Hyper Music (2001), The Globalist (2015) and the list goes on.
Muse is My Favourite band because they got me in to music but I am also a massive Metalhead so this song was like a love letter to me ahahaha
Muse has a lot of heavy elements in their music, especially in their live versions of songs. Search for "Muse Metal Medley" on UA-cam. A few years ago at their concerts they started stitching together parts of their heaviest songs into one 12-15 minute song. There are different versions. All are glorious.
You should definitely react to Muse Citizen Erased, if you liked KOBK then CE will blow your mind
As a MUSER I am so happy you enjoyed this song 😂 Mathew, Chris, and Dom do have a ton of attention, but not in the younger group. I myself and still quite young and think that kids my age are missing out on a LOT-! Like, Taylor Swift?? No, Matt Bellamy please.
Hey mark! I was wondering if you could do a video on the band she must burn. I really love all their music and would LOVE for you to do them, specifically react to their older music (grimoire, or the EP) not the new stuff 🤢. Thanks, loving the consistent content, I’ve learned tons and have massively grown as a vocalist thanks to you!
Going to see them next month this is the band that’s got me into music
Oh, I'm sure that'll be a dope show!
Good job, Alex. 🙂
Hey Marc, great Video as always:) Eber though about looking into the new currents Song?
For years Muse was a band I would forget existed, then every couple of months be reminded they existed, give them a listen, and regret the time I spent not listening to them.
I’ll have to sit with the new sound for a bit to really know how I feel about it. I mostly like their more electronic meets hard arena rock sound, but I’m always open to a band changing things up, especially after they’ve given multiple albums in a particular sound.
Perfect song!
So none of them have a metal background. Basically, Matt was listening to a lot of Slipknot with his son and started wondering if he could learn how to sing/play like that, as did Dom (drummer) and Chris (bassist). So they took it upon themselves to study metal and teach themselves how to integrate it into their music.
Really enjoyed this reaction. You did a great job of explaining those singing techniques in a way that I, a non-singer, was able to understand. Count me as a new subscriber. As for Muse, their new album is pretty good. There's a few songs with a definite "metal" flavor, and it's pretty obvious that Bellamy was very angry while writing some of the songs on the album (one of the songs is actually named "We are Fucking Fucked").
22:35
- crossing arms: check
- hand gesture: check
"butter"
makes me smile :)
Edit: Imagine davin townsend and muse doing a fry scream duet / harmony. And clean / fry scream harmonys of each one.
Devin: my favorite.
Oh and don't forget muse's micro cuts.
Spoiler alert. No harch vocals.
Muse is ALWAYS welcome on this (or any channel). No matter their music direction, they are absolutely incredible, not to mention one of the best live bands of the current day.
I love this song, Muse has always had some heavier songs and influences. It's awesome.
You must react to unnatural selection, butterfly and huricanes, live version
Oh hi Mark! 🤘
Oh hai!
