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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@boardeddie]

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

[@dannjp75]

That’s a banging tune…

[@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.

[@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 ❤️

[@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!)

[@markcrorrigan]

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

[@SGABlencathra]

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

[@markcrorrigan]

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

[@Hugohhhgg]

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

[@chrislc35]

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

[@punkrocker28]

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

[@thenebean9]

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

[@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?

[@jackyhughes793]

Yes, I was at that Wembley gig too, fantastic

[@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.

[@dannjp75]

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

[@turboz6477]

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

[@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

[@nicky_bee]

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

[@miafranlund6982]

You are absolutely correct, this song was on guitar hero

[@Wellsy1957]

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

[@Justin-td4bb]

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

[@scottyourback]

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

[@TheFrem1]

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

[@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…

[@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!

[@jacquilewis8203]

World class group

[@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 ✊

[@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

[@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 😂

[@kevinturner3997]

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

[@fitfulpanda2960]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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'

[@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! 😊

[@mr.lighnight7750]

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

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

[@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.

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.

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.

[@patrickholt2270]

Black Holes and Revelations is an epic album from start to finish. It's amazingly powerful.

[@nosmokewithoutfire4357]

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

[@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 🤘😄🤘

[@Fallopia5150]

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

Muse are the greatest live act of the 21st century. Id recommend new born live at Wembley, stockholme syndrome live at Glastonbury 2004, plug in baby at the rome Olympic stadium and citizen erased at Reading 2015

[@stuartcollins82]

yup, both the Glastonbury shows of 2004 and 2010 are legendary

Ennio Morricone's Man with a harmonica never fails to give my arms the goosebumps and make the hairs stand up, Nobody better than Muse live, Starlight is my fave though, its amazing

[@Shakermakerukuk]

Ive seen muse 4 times, twice in the UK and twice in California. Matt Bellamy is a genius on the guitar and there sets are insane

[@andyh323]

I saw them in Edinburgh and the ground was actually trembling with the base sound. We could feel it under our feet. Awesome!

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

[@marsmacl6211]

YES. YOU DO NEED TO FALL DOWN THE MUSE RABBIT HOLE. I've been to hundreds of gigs over the past 40 years, and Muse are definitely one of the best live bands of all time.

[@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.

[@iestyndavies7287]

Gotta love the nod to Pink Floyd at 9:25. Pure class.
