Make no mistake Musers are all around in the shadows and in plain sight. The band is just so unbelievably talented and hearing them live is an experience most will agree will change your life. I saw them live and every moment was breathtaking especially Reapers live the solo was perfect and seeing everyone pump their fist in the air for the solo of Uprising felt like I was in an army.

So Morgan Nichols is the guy in the back next to the drummer. He used to be their touring musician for like a decade. He plays the keyboards, synths, provides additional backing vocals, plays any additional instruments that they need live. Muse asked him if he wanted to officially be the 4th band member a long time ago and he declined because he likes having the freedom to tour with them in that role but them being able to do his own solo thing when they're not touring. He always requested to be placed in the back of the stage because he didn't want the attention. Muse isn't trying to hide him, he just didn't want to be highlighted.

The end part where they riff turns in to their later song Psycho. This was made a lot earlier than Psycho came out. Muse is amazingly phenomenal in concert and the only band I've seen live multiple times. Between the musicianship, the sound, the performance, and their care that their fans are happy are what add so much to the experience. On their newer The Will of the People, they try the heavier double base sound, as in Won't Stand Down and Kill or Be Killed, which Chris I guess had to learn how to do in order to play these songs. Btw, you said "euphoria" towards the end of your video. They have a song Euphoria, you might check out. Actually, check out all their albums!! They have a lot of variety and innovation in their work.

61 yr old Muse fan. Have seen them twice live and they are incredible. Matt is awesome on vocals, guitar, piano and who knows what else. I will see them every time I get the chance.

Matt’s falsetto is something to behold. I normally don’t like a lot of live versions mainly because many singers struggle with live vocals but Muse is one of the greats live.

Muse is super talented band. My son is Little Matt Bellamy, he is 9 years old and plays this on the guitar. Matt Bellamy is his hero

Muse live is transformational. Your soul does feel like it is leaving your body kind of good….you must see them live. And you must watch any live performance where Matt plays keys and guitar. Check out New Born live from Wembley… it’s bananas.

7:20 “I guarantee if you’re in the crowd there you can feel it all” I was in the crowd at Wembley that night - you really could feel it. Incredible

The fact that you are new to listening to Muse, and that you are feeling the “heaven” experience, you now can understand how Muse fans are so in love. Make a point of listening to “The Handler” , “ Space Dementia “ and “Psycho “. Total supernatural experience! Three more months until I finally get to see them live and will experience this with my 15 year old daughters who have been raised on Muse. Thank you for your analysis! I’ve been breaking down all that I live about this band for years! Utter brilliance on every level!!!

Favorite band for 20 years, and by far the best live show youll ever see! On tour now!

Now you gotta watch one of the songs where Matt plays the piano, he's a very gifted musician. New Born is a good one where he does piano, guitar and main vocals

react to Butterflies And Hurricanes from this same concert!! (Wembley) you can see all the lead guys talents :)

Believe me when I say this, I could find songs like Something Human, Dig Down, Follow Me, and Revolt a bit boring on the CD version but when it comes to seeing the actual live version in person I'd be singing a top of my lungs lol Muse live is just a different beast.

The endish part of the song was them playing crazy rifts, but they also used that rift into a song called "Psycho" later down the road.

Matt is amazing at singing while playing because he will play his voice and his guitar off eachother live. If he wants to give something extra on a vocal part, he'll give space on his guitar (differently from the album). And vice versa, if he wants to improvise a guitar part, he'll omit even as little as a half a breath. He'll also change guitar tabs for songs to make playing and singing easier, the best example would he Knight of Cydonia. The guitar part is changed to make it easier to perform while singing, but he makes it fit, and some people don't even notice. The best thing about Muse though, and I have seen em 47 times... If Matt seems to make a mistake vocally, he'll compensate with some extra guitar part (and vise versa) and it makes the performances unique every time.

You can simply never go wrong with MUSE

I am lucky enough to have seen muse live TWICE! There is nothing better imo

I was lucky enough to see Muse three times back in the day. Even when it was just a small crowd at a club, they put on a hell of a show.

More Muse = More Views!!!! 🤘 Time to see them perform Hysteria, either at Wembley or Rome.

My Spotify Wrapped was alllll Muse. And I knew it was gonna be! I couldn't get enough of them this year. Gonna agree with everyone who said watch "New Born" because dudes--it's just... phenomenal. You will not regret it! 🐾

Thank you for doing a reaction video of Stockholm Syndrome! You two give some of the most genuine, infectious, and enthusiastic reactions of any reaction channel that I have seen (and I have watched MANY). I look forward to your future videos. If you are interested in another Muse song, I would recommend Butterflies and Hurricanes live at Wembley. Absolute transcendence. Muse is beyond talented.

One of my favorite Muse songs

Thanks guys, I was at that gig, that was one of my 15 Muse concerts, keep the Muse reactions coming. Muse Assassin live at The Mayan....please.

Matt always talks about building the tension in a song until it hits the climax and explodes

So at 19:55 the solo that Matt does actually became another song that they made later on called Psycho on the album Drones. A couple of their later songs actually were based on riffs that they would use for solos, Kill or Be Killed started out the same way as a one off riff they used at a show once

Guys, the extra 3 minutes they add at the end is just standard live Muse FACE MELTING. At this point, they had been playing this kind of stuff since the late ‘90s, so they knew the moves. But for the people at this concert, as in any Muse concert, this is all a part of the quickening, the transcending, the euphoria of Muse live. They are legend!

Love the reaction. Glad I found your channel. Definitely more Muse live. I'm going to my 7th Muse show in Oakland in April. 🙂

Best band live, I have ever seen, hands down! 🙌🙌🤘🤘 They will take you on a journey and leave you needing more. Have seen them four times live and every time they out do themselves! Legendary musicians!! Welcome aboard the raw human emotion and the galactic plane that is Muse 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Thank god a channel with people who know what they are talking about. Knights of Cydonia live Rome is the next must reaction

One of the if not the best band I’ve seen live, watching it on screen can never do the experience justice, if you ever get the chance go see them.

I've seen them live 5x, but the first time I saw them play at Red Rocks during the Black Holes and Revelations tour and it was *MIND* *BENDING* ! I've seen more great live bands than I can even remember, but nobody even comes close to Muse. For the whole Red Rocks show all I could do is stare in awe, it was intoxicating. They were unbelievably good. Seeing Muse live is something that every music lover should experience. Seriously🤯😵

Unbelievable energy from this band! Discovered them in 2010. Seen them 3 times in Boston and 3 times in New York! Massive fan from the USA and can't wait to see them again at Madison Square Garden in NY in March!

If you still want to react to Muse. I highly recommend Sunburn in Glastonbury 2004. It show how how talented Matt (singer) is on the keyboard. This is also a very important festival for the band because sadly Dominic (drummer) father died after the show.

If you want slower, blackout is a pretty good slow song. You can check out the live video from the same show as this song

Welcome to the rabbit hole guys !!!

If you want more stuff from them I recommend Plug In Baby Live from Rome. Or Knights of Cydonia also Live from Rome. Highly recommend it, one of the best live concerts.

Hi guys, I’m a huge amuse fan and always love seeing people fall in love with them, I’m constantly surprised by how many real music fans don’t know Muse😮 Please keep reacting, please keep them all live, my personal favourite era is early 2000’s but I’ll watch any era 😂 looking forward to your next reaction 🤟🏻

The keyboard player is Morgan Nicholls who played bass on Demon Days by Gorillaz

I've been lucky enough to see Muse 12 times since 2005. Every single time is unreal. It's like an out of body experience. Go see them on tour next year.

This may me the most genuine reaction I’ve every seen! Just two guys sharing their love for music and giving us your full thoughts! I will definitely stick around for your guys journey with this band! Also they announced a US tour starting Feb 25 next year!

Lads you’ve only just started! Muse are amazing live!!!!!!! More muse plz!!!

Great content, this def deserves more subs! Keep Muse vids coming haha

It's compression on his voice. He's used it for years on certain songs. Matt's voice is amazing and he uses it as an instrument, so applying an effect to benefit the overall song is what he does.

This is by far my favorite Muse reaction video, and I saw quite a lot of them. Perfect combination of analysis, emotion and overall discussion. And you have only three Muse videos, you should do more. Please please do more! You should check out their early stuff, especially live. I would love if you react to "Micro Cuts" live from Hullabaloo (2001) or "Bliss" also live from Hullabaloo. Fans favorite stuff too.

Love how genuine your reactions are to the blissful zone of new music discovery. Instant subscribe.

Been loving the reactions to Muse... You are spot on about these guys being underrated in the U.S. I have seen Muse play live 5 times now, 4 in the states and 1 in Rome and the European fans were absolutely nuts compared to here. All 3 members are masters of their crafts and not many bands out there right now can compete with their live shows. The lead singer, Matt Bellamy, is a genius musician and is a MASTER guitarist, pianist and singer. My top 3 recommendations I'd love to see you guys react to are: 1. Unsustainable live 2. Algorithm live (this is the intro their last tour) 3. Butterflies and Hurricanes live. I promise you won't be disappointed. In your spare time, check out the "making of" videos of their albums and you'll see their insane musicianship up-close. Keep up the great vids!

I’ve seen them five times live over the past 20 years (wish it was more). The best band I have ever seen live hands down. Every single time was an amazing experience.

Just a bit of info, Matt Bellamy is the composer for keyboard/piano...truly sickly talented they are! Go see them live❤️

Wembley live was incredible! I had the chance to watch them play live in Paris, a dream came true that night

Muse is best live band period. I saw them 6 times and recently got a chance to see them in more intimate setting in Opera theatre and whether in a stadium of 50 k or theatre for 3k people they are ultimate performers and musicians. So glad that this band is with me already 17 years. They became soundtrack for my life

Hi 😊 I'm here because of MUSE. Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹 ps: enjoy all their album. ALL.

Watching this song live in the front row at Emirates Stadium was just mind blowing!!

I’ll subscribe as long as you keep breaking down muse songs. Love it. 😂

Great reaction guys. The first to highlight the talent of the back up musician..he is amazing and well done to you.

Come across this from seeing Muse at Plymouth on the weekend. I was at Wembley for this gig and it still stands as the best thing I've seen a band do in all my days! These guys are extremely epic! First saw them in 2002 at Reading Festival. Citizen Erased when it's raining is biblical! Please check out that song - by far my favourite Muse track by a long mile. Nice vid!

My first concert was Muse in 2013, and you're 100% right that a concert from them is stuck in your memory forever. I think the venue being a fraction of the size of Wembley helped because the crowd was LOUD.

Try: - 'Citizen Erased' live (from Hullabaloo DVD) -Knights of Cydonia (Either from Live at Rome OR Live at wembley 2008) -Hysteria live at Glastonbury 2004 Great reaction!!

So up next should be ‘Plug in Baby’ from the Rome Olympic Stadium another full crowd mosh pit. Also to hear Chris Wolstenholme hitting the custom bass hard check out ‘Hysteria’ The guy in the back on the keys is Morgan Nicholls who was Muse’s hidden 4th member on tour from 2006-2022. He is a multi instrumentalist that fills in for the bits they dont have enough hands to play live. From this year it is now a guy called Dan Lancaster.

Seen them live 9 times now. Beyond incredible every single time.

Not a music expert here, can't even play instruments so I can only use my heart to feel music. I once listened to Map Of The Problematique and my heart said "You gotta listen to Muse more and more" Stockholme Syndrome... oh my Lord. What a mf banger! Right from the riff, to the drum to the bassline to the keys (and there's also synth right?) All are Insane! And yes... that 'boom boom' by Chris at the beginning before he runs his fingers... that makes my heart jumps for joy! Dom on the drum is electrifying and it's one of Matt's best riffs. I love watching their live show videos and feel they've been consistent to be great on live stage for decades. Wish to see them live even just for once before I die because I believe the experience will worth whatever money I give them.

Muse is so overwhelming live that it moves me to tears. The only other band that had that effect on me live was Pink Floyd.

Just subscribed, great reaction video, really enjoy how much you appriciate muse and their live performance. Muse have been my favourite band since 1999, first saw then live in 2004 at westpoint arena exeter uk. Since seen them all around the uk, most memorable gigs were the olympic stadium, Wembley stadium, 02. You should do reaction videos to Citizen erased live from hullabaloo. Assassin live (lots of great versions on yt). Exogenesis symphony part 1. Also love the channel, this was the 2nd of your videos I've watched and just enjoy your application for good music

Hey guys great video! Muse definitely goes hard! Every album is different I’m sure there’s a song in all of them you would like. I recommend watching this whole live performance at Wembley it’s awesome and also the one at Rome Olympic stadium great shows. Matt’s voice is amazing he has one of the greatest range’s I’ve seen listen to Muscle Museum and the “solo” towards the end is his voice with some distortion!! Matt is also an amazing piano player I recommend listening to butterflies and hurricanes to see him in action live of course us always much better with this band. I’ll recommend some songs try to get a song from each album. Sunburn, new born, plug in baby, citizen erased, hysteria,assassin, knights of Cydonia, micro cuts (great vocals kinda operish) uprising, the resistance, madness, animals, liquid state(bass player sings this one), psycho( one of the outro riffs they played turned into this) reapers, the handler, the globalist, thought contagion, won’t stand down, ghosts( piano ballad)

Always good seeing people discover Muse. I’m subbed for your channel now. So many songs for you to see. Assassin live at Mayan, Plug in Baby or Hysteria live in Rome, piano based songs like Bliss or New Born…

Please, react to Butterflies and hurricanes live at Wembley. Absolut outstanding!

nice reaction ever , i saw them 5 times now and i will go to all there shows

I’ve been fortunate enough to see Muse live 10 times now. The crowds are amazing and interactive. Matt is a pure rock God. Some of my very best memories.

I'm a huge "Muser" having now seen them live 11 times since 2009, including at Glastonbury in 2016 when they headlined. They just touch my soul. Other epic songs you'd love are Showbiz, Dead Star, Psycho, their huge anthem Knights of Cydonia and New Born to name just five! Thanks for the reaction and I hope you enjoy your first Muse gig, it will be epic, they all are! 👍😁🤘

Going to see muse Live in the UK in June. Can't f****g wait

The transition into Take A Bow is absolutely amazing and goosebump inducing. The guy mentioned on keyboards is Morgan Nicholls. Played on tour for years until last album. Was asked to join and declined to focus on his own band.

Seen them many times. Best live band in the world.

Muser's come here to watch other people experience what spirituality is for real for the first time. I'm a damn atheist and I feel like I'm ascending when I listen to them and I'm just here watching others getting lucky enough to experience the same thing. Muser's are incredibly loyal but kinda low-key in my experience. It's a very chill environment. I'm still a kind of young muser, cus I've been with them since 09 but they dug a permanent spot in my heart immediately. It's the only band I can safely say is a permanent favourite band of mine. I'm all over the place with music otherwise, usually have songs here or there but not many favourite bands.. but Muse, man.. Muse is it's own experience, and it's impossible to not leave room for them at all times. There are so many things that I'm not a huge fan of in music, where Muse is the exception. I'm not a huge fan of slow songs, I'm not a huge pink floyd fan because i don't think enough is happening, same with Radiohead.. but with Muse.. man, there are so many good slow songs of theirs.. Some of them are at the top of my list. Muse makes me love cheesy love songs because they do it so well.. like what tha hell... they could do anything, and I would be there. I would follow them to hell and back if they asked me to.. and I can't say that about any other band I've listened to. They're special.. Muse is such a perfect name for them.

I was at this concert... I went from Portugal to England to witness this piece of history and it was just AMAZING!!! That last "bit" isn't part of the actual song... they do a LOT of riffs and interludes between songs where they just jam, they play bits from other bands, etc... this one had Rage Against the Machine's " Township Rebellion" + "Psycho" riff (from them, a song that was released 8 years later, this concert was in 2007 the song was release in 2015) + Nirvana's "Endless Nameless" outro

haha a state of “Euphoria” was funny to me because they have a new song called Euphoria if you want to check it out! haven’t played it live though

Yesterday was my 10th year anniversary (1/23/13, Staples Center) of my first MUSE show ever!!! I just saw them at AlterEgo 2023 less than 2 weeks ago. They are my favorite band and I don't think there will ever be a band as good for a long time to come.

Assassin - Live at the Mayan Plug in Baby - Live in Rome Knights of Cydonia - Live in Rome Dead Star - Live V Festival Won’t Stand Down - Album version

They awoke me. My goosebumps raise before I press play. I know they do pop as well and not all genres they explore or apply themselves to everyone's taste. But my Gods, to they do it so well!! I can't fault them. 3 talented people have written the sounds that will accompany me when I leave my body. If there is another world or simply an abyss after I outstay me welcome on earth, I will float away Singing for Absolution.

I was there. Truly an amazing amazing concert and one I will most definitely never forget! Got my 11th Muse show coming up in May next year and I for one can't wait! Personal highlight/recommendation for me: Hysteria live at the Brit Awards 2003. The band were just breaking into the British Mainstream - Absolution went to number 1 in the charts its first week on sale but they were actually overshadowed by another band called The Darkness. All the hype was on them but Muse went on stage and completely stole the show with 3.5 minutes of sheer powerful rock. One to truly not be missed!

Muse fairly often add extra riffs/endings that are sometimes medleys of famous songs. This one in particular, the second riff he plays while kneeling down they did for years at the end of Stockholm Syndrome, but on their Drones album they actually made it into a song, Psycho. Seen them live twice now, and there's always at least a few added riffs to round off a song. They even started doing a cool drum and bass duet song (Munich Jam and Helsinki Jam) where both Dom (drums) and Chris (bass) go crazy.

“20,000 people in the crowd”, try tripling it. These Wembley shows were huge, I was there. They were incredible, seen them 21 times.

Just saw Muse Live in St Louis, and by far, best concert I've ever been to. These guys are fantastic live.

You guys are funny lol and you're obviously talented and love music. I won't leave any other comment here :D Except that I'm very pleasantly surprised (to your video; I usually do not like pausing at all, even for analytic videos but with your video I'm into it all)

The flipside to being disappointed about not paying attention to them until now is that you have SO MUCH cool stuff to experience for the first time. I envy you.

I’ve seen them live twice and the sound quality live is unbelievable. They are the best live act I’ve seen.

Welcome enjoy the ride

My cousin went with me to see MUSE live 20years ago in NJ not knowing anything about the band. Today she is still consumed with everything they put out and never misses them live every time they play Philly.

Love your reactions! I’d STRONGLY suggest listening to the 2007 wembley performance of butterflies and hurricanes, you’ll have to pick your jaws off the floor

12:55 I don't know whats funnier , your mate stopping you as you were about to come, or his comment about 20,000 souls leaving their body . Great reaction , to a great performance of a great song .

I had the pleasure of being at this gig on the Saturday. The Saturday session was put on CD and the Sunday got the DVD treatment. It's up there with some of their best performances but I've been lucky enough to see them in various venues. My particular favourite was at the Stade De France a couple of years later.

As soon as Psycho came out I remembered this concert ❤️❤️ MUSE is amazing. Cheers from Brazil ❤️

My fav band and something you need to see live. The Drones concert was absolutely the best I’ve ever seen.

i gave it a like, and LOVE muse, so so many songs to do next, "butterflies and hurricanes" is a great one. but u guys do love that pause button eh . and always do live with Muse, always amazing.

We are seeing you guys find your new favorite band! I recommend Citizen Erased, Dead Star, Drones, Muscle Museum and all of Absolution! Love the channel!

Really hope you catch them on tour now because it really is an experience to remember. I've seen them 25+ times and they will continually blow your mind. I was at that show and it was even more amazing live, it was very much an out of body experience. You see them live and you just want to do it all over again. On album they're good but live it's just a whole nother level.

I was there in 2010 on Bellamy's side, I am a little french lady coming from the west coast of France, I am disabled physically but I took this long travel for them, I was already a full Mue fan but after this show I became totally crazy for them, now I have 22 Muse concerts, I would have liked more but not so easy for me, You should try to watch the 2015 world show called Drones, it will blow your mind and soul, scenography is amazing, you have a mix between London, Paris, Berlin and choose the Reapers song, you will be exploded by the riff, they got a reward of the nest live show and a grammy award for the album Drones, please watch it it is on youtube

If you want to check the beautiful piano check "Butterflies and Hurricanes" from the same gig (Wembley stadium).

If you guys love driving basslines, you've got to check out Hysteria. Frequently voted one of the best basslines of all time. It won't disappoint. Live at Wembley is my favourite version.

Muse are touring next year - cannot wait to see them again.

I was there. Can confirm that it has stayed with me all these years! Look up the whole gig. Wembley 2007 HAARP Tour.

went to their concert when they started. Amazing band you should listen their albums from the begining.
