If you ever get the chance to go to a Muse show, beg borrow or steal a ticket, they really are the best live show on the planet.

Probably the greatest live band in the world

Plug in baby refers to the front man's guitar. Music is where he turns to when he's "tired of living." Music and his guitar are his way of coping with life.

Fun fact. Muse was one of the biggest inspirations for The Warning as a band

It cannot be understated how good Muse is live. They quite literally sound better than their records when they're on stage. It's baffling. I don't think any band since Queen has been able to capture that stage presence better.

Don't try to make sense of this song. They were high on shrooms when they wrote it and to this day they still don't know what it's about.

❤ I love Muse, seen them a few months ago, plug in baby is one of my fav's 🖤 they are amazing live!!!! 🎸🖤

If you want audience participation, I recommend Muse playing Muscle Museum live at Shepherds Bush Empire in 2017. The words Muscle Museum are the words either side of Muse in the dictionary. I have seen them live 4 times over the years , always awesome, always a different experience. To experience a wider range, Citizen Erased or Butterflies and Hurricanes which incorporate Matt's piano skills which are considerable.

The ladies of The Warning are learning amazing skills opening for this band. Check out the Knights of Cedonia live from the same venue.

His plug in baby is his guitar

Muse are absolutely brilliant !!!!!

Muse are a brilliant band. Somehow underrated for someone so big

Nobody knows exactly what is going on with these lyrics, not even the band members, because every time they're asked about the meaning of this song, they seem to give a different answer, or try to avoid the question. However, I think one of the biggest clues to the meaning of the lyrics comes from an early demo of this song from 1997 (official version was released in 2001), where the lyrics were dramatically different, and went something like this: _When I was poor and lonely_ _They give me to the floor_ _You're the only_ _I was tired of resting_ _But I'm not even afraid_ _'Cause you're the only_ _God is in me_ _and I'm in virtual reality_ _I'm tired of living_ _They come anywhere here_ _Anywhere in my head_ _'Cause I'm tired of thinking_ _I never meant to love these machines_ _But they obey my commands adeptly_ _I will never ever die_ _In their circuits I can survive_ _Can you hear me?_ _Cause I am leaving_ _Electric love screens_ _Have tempted me to jack it in_ _Living lively_ _They come anywhere here_ _Anywhere in my head_ _I'm tired of thinking_ _I never meant to love these machines_ _But they obey my commands adeptly_ _I will never ever die_ _In their circuits I can survive_ _Can you hear me_ _Cause I am leaving_ With these lyrics, and considering the themes found in other old Muse songs, it seems very likely that the song was originally meant to be about virtual reality, and technology in general, and how it might affect humanity in the future, so you were not far off with the Matrix vibes. I personally have the theory that the lyrics were later changed to make it sound more like a love song, so it would be more popular with the masses (and it did become a huge hit). Also, a fun fact is that the name "Plug in Baby" was actually the name of a baby monitor they saw on a catalogue, they just thought it sounded cool and decided to use it for the song, lol.

*Music* = MUSE + Sick 😎👍

Muse is going to be happy :)

Best live band EVER, been to six or seven and with each one the guys go just get better and better….if that’s even possible 🎸

hello,Muse fan from more than 20 years now. I've seen them live 15 times. Their shows now have become more than a rock concert. It's an absolute spectacle. The feeling to sing one of your favorite song along with 70k people i think it's unbeatable. If you love crowd sing-a-long, check out their video of Starlight from 2010 (in San Siro, Milan, Italy) I was there. It's one of my favorite memories i have. PS i have my my first The Warning gig in 4 days.. i just can't wait.

Muse rules!

Don't go down the Muse rabbit hole expecting the lyrics to make sense 😂 they're more so there to add to the melody. Matt even goes as far as to vocalise a whole guitar solo rather than using a guitar. But they are amazing live, no one like them!

Muse are amazing live. Matt Bellamy is one of the few remaining actual rock stars. Insanely talented.

I love this performance. And speaking of Muse, since you've reacted to these ladies quite a bit - check out "Automatic Sun" just released by The Warning. Heavy Muse influence.

This song has to be reacted to while being high in volume. And also, +1 to everyone saying this is one of the best live bands out there. Been to 2 of their concerts a decade apart and they brought the energy both times. Matt becomes a different person live.

Especially as the song is in English and the crowd is Italian, singing along as if they understand every word.

Well, you picked their break out song and most classic video ever…but you gotta see em live, bonus to see them in England…you’ll never get over it!

Hi All MUSER's!!! Great Reaction!

Hi Koality, What a coincidence. After your last video of comfortably numb, I told you about how much this song is admired by Dany from The Warning and today you react to Muse! This band is The Warning's favourite band and last year The Warning opened for them in Mexico. Matt Bellamy from Muse was so impressed by The Warning that he invited the girls to open for them in the UK. One of the sisters' proudest moments. Matt from Muse was so impressed again he gifted Dany a yellow Manson guitar. Check out Automatic sun by The Warning that was released on Friday just gone. It has some Muse influences. Thanks Koality. 🤟

Go see them live. I have 3 times. Take my word u won't be disappointed. Best shows I've ever been to. Go watch them on their own tour, not at a festival. The production that goes into their show are second to none

listen to Assassin Live at Mayan 2015 next, you will love it

They're the biggest band in the world

Audience participation, to me, is Love. MUSE is very interactive with their audience. They are very giving in the writing and more so when live. The audience singing part is an opportunity to express our thank you. Ugh, I sound like i’m in a cult. 😂

The song is about his guitar... The plug in baby. Great Video btw!

I've seen them 6 times live in Lisbon and they are the best!

Sunburn Muse live Glastonbury 2004, amazing stuff

I first saw Muse in a tiny club (The Cavern) in Exeter, UK not far from their home town. This was well before they were famous. I thought they were a poor wannabe Radiohead at the time. Wasn't impressed. ....and that ladies and gentlemen is why I never worked as a talent spotter! In my mid 50's now and they are one of the best live acts I've ever seen. Not so keen on their last few albums but still an unmissable show whenever they are touring.

I imagine a plug in baby. Maybe like an artificial intelligence kinda robotic thing? Superficialality? The title always got me.

I seen muse 9 times and there is no describing the sound and vibration of 100,000 people singing along.

Oh no I didn't need a deep dive into my own psychology at the end but thanks for reacting to Muse.

do more muse!! especially from this concert :) you pick the song, every one is good

Muse-Suggestions 🙂 *Hysteria Live Wembley *Uprising Live Teignmouth

saw them live last june and they were amazing!

You must go and see them live. They are probably the best live band on the circuit. The album stuff is brilliant, but the live stuff is 1000% better. People seem to forget they’re a three piece (mainly), but when live the fourth member comes in for the keyboard/synth stuff.

For something completely new (and also JUST as exciting), check out the truly phenomenal Scottish alt-rock band Biffy Clyro. You will not be disappointed!

Went to watch muse last year for my 4th show they one of last stadium bands going for a three piece Matt Chris and Dominic rule would definitely see them more and more again

You should check out Knights Of Cydonia by Muse you could check out the live version from this Rome concert or a version I like personally is form Glastonbury 2010

The original demo version of Plug In Baby was recorded before the matrix but the studio version was recorded after it. In the demo it goes "God is in me and I'm in virtual reality I'm tired of living"

Riffs on Bach’s tocatta

Reaction to Kiss - I Was Made for Loving You

My favourite Muse track, the fifth track of the album Origin of symmetry. My interpretation of it is that it’s about the reliance upon technology and the things that it can suppress in your life. Perhaps it implies a longing for a meaningful connection and the desire to escape the alienation that technological advancements can sometimes bring. You definitely picked a great performance, couldn’t have picked a better one myself! From the same concert and album their cover of Nina Simone’s Feeling good is a great follow up, Matt puts his own spin on it and makes it spectacular! You can probably understand why a certain other trio have idolised them for so long and were so excited to be able to tour with them! I enjoyed your emotional reactions to the song, I am the same myself about Muse!

You are definitely allowed to pause in the middle. It’s a reaction! I hate no-analysis vids where I'm just watching somebody watching. And hey, the original is out there, folks!

Matt had a son with Kate Hudson btw. Fucking rock star.

If you like audience participation you really must react to Killers doing Mr Brightside at the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow

butterflies and hurricanes, wont stand down. also if you can stand it. im sure i speak for many folks, grt rid of the clown paint. it is only removing from. your natural self, this we cherish. be you, be safe, look forward to the next muse review

I’ve seen them live .. one of my all time favorite concerts ever .. I’ve been to many and their energy and production is hardly matched .. also, Plug In Baby for the first song? Not my first choice .. would highly recommend Uprising or Supermassive Black Hole

JUST plug in Baby and un-plug when you need to, Darlin...or is it Koality, hmmm...I like Baby, baby....Muse concert in `13 was dynamic as that large quasi hotel on stage looks, which blew us all away, arrivederci Baby

It's a song about a guitar.

Maybe they're talking about realities because they ate shrooms. Supposedly that was part of the inspiration for Origin of Symmetry

Audience participation huh, check out ‘muscle museum live Shepherd’s Bush empire 2017 multicam’ you’re welcome

Cheers love this band don't know if you've done standing in the way of control by the gossip but it's class up 2 u thanx

I love the song and especially this live but no idea what it means and I always thought it was “virtual realities” but need to check multiple lyrics sites now as I may have been mistaken all this time. EDIT:I HAVE been singing it wrong all these years LOL

If you like audience participation, I believe there is no more moving performance than in Lara Fabian - Je t'aime - Live in Paris, 2001 Watch with subtitles please! Lara Fabian - Je t'aime - Live in Paris, 2001 I'm loving your reactions!

This is one of the bands people I know closely like and no matter how many times I've tried to like them it just doesn't happen. Their music doesn't connect correctly with me. But I enjoyed your reaction.

Ah, such a fun song. Glad it got through and made it public! To me, it's always been a lovehate song between him or the band and the music industry. The "plug in baby" would be the guitar. Or, as always, it's a breakup song

The lyrics of that entire album are meaningless from a songwriting perspective, it was just little phrases and words thayt sounded good to him. People have all sorts of intepretations on the lyrics but ultimately they were written as pretty much gibberish. I believe there was a baby mopnintor in a catalog called a 'plug in baby' and the name made them laugh so they used it in the song.

Ive always thought, plug in baby meant his guitar

It’s plug in baby not plug in, baby

Stopping your videos to react/comment on what you have watched thus far is fine. Stopping your videos to spend time explaining why you have stopped the video is not.
