EPIC PERFORMANCE!!! American Rock Fans React "Muse - Knights Of Cydonia - Rome Olympic Stadium"

[@Edessa_G]

This is definitely a rabbit hole you should go down. Muse are literally the best live act in the world.

[@MaikKellerhals]

"I didn't know Muse was like this" - This is quintessential Muse. If you like this, you'll like Muse in general.

[@malcolmbell5266]

Voted best live band in the world for about four years running by the European music press. The concert in Rome was a crowd of 60'000. Check out 'New Born' and 'Plug in Baby', from their 2nd album. So far they have released 8 studio album, 2 live album and 44 singles

[@Dan-os9kg]

*60,963 😉

[@clairepruden4974]

Like, how the hell have Muse not taken the US?? My 17 year old is obsessed with them and they have such writing and production skills in both recording and live performance. My boy is a singer/songwriter and guitarist and looks up to Matt Bellamy like I revere Robert Smith of The Cure. Muse have gone from being a slightly Radiohead wannabe band in the 90s to astonishing heights and deserve all recognition!

[@dannjp75]

Absolution was their best album/tour. Saw them in Oz, was off the scale

[@pesmerga182]

Rammstein is better

[@hogue_music]

@@pesmerga182 Tf is that?

[@RS14988]

Please fall down the Muse rabbit hole, they are amazing. I've seen them live at the O2 twice, they can fill arenas and stadiums like nobody's business. Have a look at the Origin of Symmetry and Absolution albums in particular as well as Black Holes & Revelations, from which this song came. Also, Knights of Cydonia was on Guitar Hero 3 specifically

[@JonathanReynolds1]

The Harmonica / Mouth Organ bit was from the Charles Bronson movie “Once Upon a Time in the West”. The soundtrack was composed by the great Ennio Morricone.

[@almostideal1306]

It makes sense, the entire song is a spaghetti western/Morricone tribute.

[@boardeddie]

Plug In Baby also at this concert is a must. The crowd during this song a fantastic

[@dannjp75]

That’s a banging tune…

[@miafranlund6982]

You are absolutely correct, this song was on guitar hero

[@nrg4141]

Muse is probably the deepest rabbit hole you'll get to. They have truly massive back catalogue, and the styles vary quite a bit too. That said, no matter how seemingly different certain songs are they also somehow sound distinctly Muse. They also are consistently voted one of the best live bands. Everyone is going to provide you with hundreds of songs, all I'll say is where possible watch live versions. The only exception is Hysteria, which I feel should be first appreciated with the studio version (do a double header studio vs live in one video!)

[@djmull63]

Matt Bellamy must have done this as a tribute to his Father as it sounds like the Tornados Telstar and his Father played in that band.

[@mayahogrefe5786]

Matt (singer) sings this song, every night, as the last song of the concert, so just remember that

[@dataterminal]

This has probably been my biggest surprise of all the react videos I've seen. To see someone who is into music, not know who Muse, and not know what Knights of Cydonia is... just blows my mind. I honestly thought it was a universal thing at this point lol. Still, as you play guitar it's a super fun song to play. Very easy to pickup and has that feel food factor when you perfect a riff except it's all the way throughout the song. A must play, even better if when you play along to the song.

[@briangoodwin7990]

Strangely theyre not that big in America. They supported U2 in America when they were big over here

[@NoahStew]

Guess these guys never played Guitar Hero 3

[@AprilJMoon]

I cannot recall you guys ever getting through a video without pausing ever. They suck you in with their music and they are so diverse with each album that you can get lost in that rabbit hole.

[@jaxonsjerseys]

Muse live are insane, seen them several times, including at a festival last month, never fail to impress

[@Andy-nl8uq]

I saw them at the Isle of Wight festival this year and they were bloody incredible. And they played citizen erased and plug in baby 🤙😎

[@jaxonsjerseys]

@@Andy-nl8uq yes! That's where I saw them! Epic!

[@GrainneScarlett]

Totally agree. You'll NEVER be disappointed ❤️

[@punkrocker28]

This concert of muse at rome is one of the best concerts ever. By any band. Watch the whole thing if you can

[@chrislc35]

best live band in the world, by far. should check out more.

[@fitfulpanda2960]

If you don't have " see Muse live at Glastonbury" on your bucketlist you need to sort your bucketlist out.

[@Justin-td4bb]

They are all about EPIC. Muse have loads of good albums

[@adrianleigh7410]

Do yourselves a favour and watch the whole gig. That’ll will also explain what the guy is doing on the floor at the beginning.

[@markcrorrigan]

Seen them 12 times and it's still not enough. Best live band I've ever seen. Glad you reacted to it 🤘

[@Blencathra1]

I am so envious! I have been thwarted in my attempts to see them. Fingers crossed I will get to see them eventually.

[@markcrorrigan]

@@Blencathra1 fingers crossed for you, they should tour soon with the new album 😊

[@Hugohhhgg]

I’m about to see them for the second time !

[@Wellsy1957]

Has to be "Butterflies and Hurricanes" live at Wembley.. Insane!!

[@dannjp75]

Once you’ve heard Matt Bellamys intake of breath before every lyric, you can’t un-hear it…

[@Nictumeni]

i met the band in 1999 in a pub in Camden Town London when Matt the singer was only 17 & seen them many times & this song live is amazing.much love from Spain

[@thenebean9]

Muse are incredible. They have such a range of music and their talent is unparalleled. Definitely check out more!

[@johnharley5157]

First saw them in 1999, supporting Skunk Anansie, and they performed without all the lights, without most of the audience knowing who they were - they were just a three-piece - and young, to boot! They blew the audience away. Skunk Anansie were fabulous that night, Muse were mind-blowing.

[@chrismartin2663]

Yes, I saw Skunk Anansie with Muse at Liverpools Royal court, thought they were decent and remember liking the song Uno at the gig. Then skunk anansie came on with Charlie Big Potato and were flippin great and probably part of why I can't remember much about what else muse played or their perforance that night.

[@BennyP1985]

‘Is this another rabbit hole we’ll go down?’… I know this video Hansen up a while, but yes, yes it is! I saw Muse live at Wembley about 10 years ago and it’s easily the best gig I’ve ever been to. Knights of Cydonia is my favourite song of all time…

[@nicky_bee]

No song in the world gives me more energy than this one

[@RobertTravis-zl7of]

First time I think you guys shushed lolol brilliant reaction afterwards

[@TheFrem1]

Just 3 lads from Devon, UK, Geddon Bauys!! Epic!

[@paulquaife7974]

If you want them plus huge crowd watch something from their glastonbury 2004 set, about 100,000 people watching

[@BadMoonandStars]

Yep, rabbit hole. Hysteria is my favourite

[@bnice9810]

Muse were the first band to play the new Wembley stadium in 2007 and I was there and this song was at its best there

[@HisDudeness316]

Proper band, Muse. The gig at Wembley Stadium in 2007 in front of 90,000 people was one of the greatest gigs of my life. Try Muscle Museum, Plug In Baby and Newborn.

[@richardgoddard37]

I saw them at the Eden Project, and they can only have 3000 there. My friend & I got right to the front, and we were both deaf for a couple of days. Totally worth it.

[@chrishiggett7294]

I was at this gig too, it’s in my top 2 live events of all time. They came out to Knights of Cydonia and the whole stadium bounced

[@keirlumsden]

I was at that gig too; I’ll be honest though, I don’t think that gig had the greatest atmosphere. I think Earls Court 2004 was much better.

[@HisDudeness316]

@@keirlumsden what day did you go, and were you standing?

Yes, I was at that Wembley gig too, fantastic

Do it, go down the muse rabbit hole! Amazing band, amazing lyrics, amazing live!

[@mw1969HOHOHO]

I've seen Muse numerous times and every time they deliver a phenomenal concert. You think it sounds good on KZbin? You need to be at the concert. Last year at Huddersfield and Manchester when they started with Will of the People, you could feel your insides vibrate 😊. Best live band ever 🤘😄🤘

[@jacquilewis8203]

World class group

[@cheetarah9199]

The opening harmonica bit is from Once Upon a Time in the West - a sergio leone western (amazing film)

The soundtrack is by Ennio Morricone❤️

Please go down the rabbit hole you will not regret it, I've seen them twice live they're the best

I've seen Muse 20 times. Soon to be 21 next year. Best band I've ever seen.

[@danielmannandersen2332]

if you decide to watch more, then please watch Assassin - Live at Mayan. Totally different song and in a smaller and more intimate setting EDIT: Also this song is inspired by the lead vocalists fathers band, The Tornados or more exactly their number 1 (at the US Billboard) song called "Telstar" from the early 60s. The start was Man with an Harmonica by Enrico Morricone

[@rc-dk6by]

Their new song is a masterpiece…. (Kill or be killed)

[@andrewmccullough9334]

I still love Muse after nearly 20 years of listening. So many unreal tracks from Stockholm Syndrome to hysteria. Heavy hit after heavy hit ✊

[@cjwhiterabbit1]

.... and they deliver & double down .... they always do

[@AzzaMuse91]

Definitely a rabbit hole worth going down.. they’re unreal.

[@calrus93]

100% recommend watching their live Hullabaloo 2001 concert, vocals are ridiculous

[@paulapp1386]

butterflies and hurricanes live is amazing and Hysteria !

[@MissSJ4429]

Saw them at Wembley back in the day, truly awesome. Black Holes and Revelations album is my favourite album of all time.

[@vixg6799]

This band is amazing they come from about 5 miles of where I live. So proud of them xx

You must go to a Muse concert if you ever have the chance. They never fail to impress. There is a so much music from Muse you have yet to discover! 😊

[@chrisjudd743]

Finally you’re reacting to some GOOD music. About time!!!! Plus… this is the first video of yours I’ve seen that you have watched start to finish without stopping the video 😂

[@Thea7972]

I owe my neighbours an apology😳😂 This was so incredible I switched the volume up from 12 to 48🤣& yes this was on guitar hero! LOVE this song 👍👍 Try “Plug in Baby” next! It’s been ages since I’ve heard this & I forgot how good it is. Will use 🎧 to avoid noise complaints!

[@ansugib]

My daughter has seen them twice and said they are incredible. I love 'Supermassive Black hole' 'New Born' , 'Plug in baby' and 'Undisclosed Desires'. Not forgetting 'Uprising'

[@jessicatH22]

every muse concert I've been to, they've played this as their closing encore song. and every time is just amazing

[@chris2para]

Saw them recently at MK Bowl, 65k people. They’re amazing live, Matt is note perfect every time

[@michaelmckenna8411]

Great reaction guys. I saw Muse play last week in Madrid Spain. They were awesome

[@MitzMitzi]

Best live band! Just epic and so incredibly talented! ♥️🇬🇧

[@Mshellosweetie2881]

Plug in baby was also epic!!! The whole concert in Rome is a must seen!!!

[@MrSirusDvirus]

As may be already mentioned. The first part is tribute to ennio morricones theme and a brilliant western ' once upon a time in the west' where Charles bronson is the man with the harmonica

[@torlcean]

Uprising is another amazing live song

[@Fallopia5150]

Muse - great musicians and good at putting on a big show. Stadium band.

[@davidcarruthers5379]

Check out Hysteria, Psycho or even their new stuff like Wont Stand Down, Will of the People or Kill or be Killed

[@murder13love]

You have to see them live.. if you think they're good, they're 100x better live... even people I know who dislike them had to admit they were damn good live lol

[@murder13love]

They also just dropped a new video, go check it out 🤘

[@Caredroia]

They are the best LIVE English Rock Band since QUEEN!

[@musictravelgaming215]

Standing at the front of a muse gig is much like standing underneath a Saturn 5 taking off for the moon. They blow you away every time.

[@Snaakie83]

Never had much with Muse, but anyone can easily admit that this is absolute stellar stadium rock, and that this is a bang on performance.

[@van_lichenstein8171]

Same, I appreciate how great they are, but they just don’t hit the spot for me for some reason. (Studio wise) this live was great.

[@chevydyall7619]

Best live performance. They're not a band singing their songs, the putting on a complete show

[@mr.lighnight7750]

Muse playing Stockholme syndrome live from las vegas is the best 🔥🔥🔥

[@Tass...]

Best live rock band still performing in 2022

[@nosmokewithoutfire4357]

You should watch that whole performance in Rome. Muse won an award for it

[@darrenbuckley2082]

Been to a wembley one never felt anything like it, the sound just emanates from your own chest fantastic.

[@TheAstronomyFloyd]

Muse have been around for that long now, they have 2 sides. Same could be said for Manic Street Preachers, both phenomenal bands

[@AlluttajaYT]

The guy laying on the ground is from a performance that was part of the previous song where the guy "dies" on stage at the end and he just kept laying there when the next song was played.

[@CKnights1977]

So glad you reacted to Muse, my favourite live band, I've seen them live 20 times so far, please react to Hysteria, The Handler, Citizen Erased, Plug In Baby, The Globalist, Reapers, Unsustainable to name a few.

[@davidplimmer7206]

Was so excited to see someone watch and appreciate muse live for the first time. They’re on another planet live. Watch Butterflies and Hurricanes live at Wembley (Matt is a demon on the piano too) - and Plug In Baby live at Rome - and anything else!

[@briansmith6862]

Muse can turn their hand to almost any musical genre... for the heavier stuff check Stockholm Syndrome and Assassins, a popular song is Plug in Baby. One that'll get you saying "Oh! So these are the guys who do this!", is Supermassive Black Hole.

[@feebeejeebees]

Check out Plug in Baby, and Hysteria, both from this live gig in Rome. The bass playing in Hysteria is an education you won't forget.

[@cherrymcgregor535]

I’m sure someone else has said that but the beginning is from ‘ the man with a harmonica’ a spaghetti western starring Charles Bronson The next song should be ‘ hysteria ‘

Great reaction! Would love to see you experience more Muse. It's definitely a rabbit hole worth diving headfirst into :)

[@mattblythe1153]

Muse are worth going down that particular 'rabbit hole'. Even if it's not for content... But for personal enrichment, two thumbs up. Many years ago I heard their music, and liked it. I liked it enough that when I heard that they would be playing live on a Saturday morning kids show (oh, in the UK. Sorry. Forgot to mention that bit), I set the alarm and got up to watch it. I dunno if you have similar Saturday morning kids shows over there... But over here we had several hours of young and energetic presenters being fun, wacky and entertaining on a live show, with an audience of actual kids running around (not neatly seated, but generally herded) enjoying the antics. Sometimes on these shows they would get on a band to play live and entertain the kids with a popular tune. I think one of the band bookers slipped this one under the wire. Cos quite honestly, most of the kids didn't know what to make of it. I cannot remember which tune they played. All I can remember is the way they played! It may have been a gig on a kids show in front of a bunch of 7 year olds. But they TOTALLY ROCKED IT!!! It was a full on performance that you would not be dissapointed to see in one of their stadium gigs. I was gob smacked. That was when I went from liking their music to being a Fan. Not a term I use often.

[@p.m.c..2.615]
