Their main genre is Alternative rock but they are very experimental. Hard rock, Space rock, Progressive rock, electronica, symphonic rock, art rock. They were huge in 00's and still today because after every album different kind of people became fans as they kept always changing their style. They are considered one of the best live bands (maybe of all time but this is subjective)

I have been following rock and metal music since the 70s ,seeing bands like Led Zeppelin Yes and Jethro Tull. This concert was one of the best I have ever attended. Their stage show was amazing. .I enjoyed your reaction and have now subscribed to your channel.

Biased in the extreme but this band is my modern Queen. I amthrilled with every perfectly composed and performed track. Their music is goosebumps pleasing to my soul. The energy they exude has made my blood course through me like a drug. Please please react to every unique, nostalgic and just pure thrilling performance. There is a reason why the crowd is so packed . Live as flawlessly entertaining as their recordings.

[@butimscaredofthedark3895]

I remember I first heard Muse in concert. I actually went for 30 Seconds to Mars. Turns out I loved Muse even more 😅 I remember it so vividly, even now it's the best show I've been to. Turns out they are (or 'were' maybe now) SUPER big in Britain and Europe in general since they come from England I believe. But they are CRIMINALLY underrated in the US! Most Americans haven't heard of them but they are masters of Punk, Rock, Metal and Synth. Most of their songs explore things like revolutions, big governments, technology and the like. A lot of the older songs are heavier and more metal/guitar based, but their recent stuff (especially their most recent album) is super Synthy with a sort of Modern 80s vibe. Definitely check out more if you can, they're one of the best out there.

Muse begins (live performance of) Knights of Cydonia with "Man with a Harmonica" by Ennio Morricone, a famous composer and conductor who made works for movies, mainly known for westerns; it's from movie "Once upon a time in the West".

[@inkubuzz]

If you watched the London Olympics, they where playing a song from Muse all the time. The song is called Survival. You will recognize that one instantly

[@AnnMegFair]

every now and then I go around youtube looking for people reacting to Muse for the first time, because I like reliving when I first discovered them. I've seen them live 6 times now - from venues as intimate as 200 people, as headliner for muddy outdoor festivals, to sold-out stadiums with gigantic stage production. They are absolutely incredible live, the studio recordings (and tbh even the live recordings) do not do the energy justice that just ripples through the crowd when they perform. This song in particular usually closes the night, and it never fails to be insane!

They headlined Glastonbury a few years ago and that was a great show, always have a fantastic light show as well.

[@alexmo1280]

Muse (originally named “Rocket Baby Dolls) are from Devon, England. Formed in 1999, they progressed from alternative rock all the way through metal, space opera rock to trance and even hip hop and power ballads. There are only three members: Matthew Bellamy on guitar and vocals, Dominic Howard on drums and Chris Wolstenholm on bass. They do have a fourth member, though not officially part of the original trio, who helps run the many additional sound layers for their live sets (synths, organs, dance beat sequences, choirs etc). They have been voted best live act by NME more than 10 times and have put on concerts featuring robot exoskeletons, UFOs and even virtual reality. An interesting point about their staple lyrical theme of conspiracy and dystopia is that Matthew Bellamy’s uncle was killed by the IRA (considered by some as a terrorist group in Ireland). This affected his songwriting for the rest of his life and songs like “Citizen Erased” and “Assassin” (on the Origin of Symmetry and Black Holes and Revelations albums respectively) feature these themes heavily. They are considered by many to be one of the most innovative rock bands of the 21st century and also one of the best for live performances. Spoiler alert, I’m a huge fan. (Since 1999).
