@rockin1000_official Is that director Brian Tyler (composer of the F1 theme)? Not the guy with the curly hair but the other one?

[@alejandroramirezmontero7161]

Vengan a Costa Rica. Yo me apunto a cantar. Son excelentes todas y todos uds.

[@flaviacarneirodecampos9496]

please come to Brazil

[@MJUltra42]

Shout out to the sound techs having to do the absolute most hellish sound job known to man. Those are the real hero's

[@grafzhl]

Phasing nightmare 😅

[@Dave_Crewe]

Imma gonna hazard a guess that not every single person was recorded for the mix in the video, and probably not every one was in the FOH mix either

[@grafzhl]

@@Dave_Crewe Oh yeah, there's no chance they recorded everyone. Making just the top and bottom mic of a single snare drum sound good in the mix requires some work, so I would hope for the love of god they trimmed the number tracks.

[@stratocactus]

@@Dave_Crewe yeah definitely doesn't sound like 1000 musicians. Especially evident with the choirs. More obvious with male choir.

[@archerpence]

​@stratocactus Also, agreed. But imagine what that sounded like of you were there at the right spot in person. That would be phenomenal

[@leodrummer928]

Proud to have played in this concert. Personally I think it was the best song we played. ❤

[@nesquikpooower]

Proud ? MOUHAHAHAHA 😂🤡

[@coalwatching5921]

It's really great !

​@@nesquikpoooweryes it's that thing that your parents will never be of you.

Yea better than any run of the mill famous band nice 😮

[@italianodaroberta]

Anche io c’ero ed è stato amazingggggg Io ho cantato 🎤

[@KRIAJK]

It's always exceedingly aesthetic hearing and watching drummers play in unison.

[@Jagernotty]

Drum battles are also very awesome to me. Sully Erna from Godsmack battles his drummer and there's an old video of Travis Barker and ?uestlove having a battle and they're just so cool to watch.

[@enricofarina8427]

It was so damn emotional playing it, and the final result is f***ing EPIC!🤘🤘🤘💣💣💣🔥🔥🔥

[@aaronmoen7402]

It's a testament to the quality of a band made up of 3 men matching the energy of 1000 people performing this song.

[@Gingersstuff]

I’ve had the privilege of seeing Muse playing this live a few times now and you’re absolutely right.

[@holydeadman1727]

Not like they're adding much to it.. they're playing the same thing so if you have a song that's composed to sound full, having 1k musicians play it will just sound louder

[@MrPcapeles]

They are actually four live but kind of true…

[@fortuan]

The whole problem is the mixing of this. I have been a part of one of the Rockin1000 events and this sound recording sounds nothing like the feeling you get when you hear this live. Imagine you are the mixing engineer of this and you have literally hundreds of inputs to mix. Mixing this to stereo is pathetic no matter who does it. It's like compressing a rainbow into 2 colours and expecting people to get it.

[@AngelusNielson]

@@holydeadman1727 You must be fun at parties. You're probably more fun when you're not at them though.

[@DarkMiryam81]

Proud to be one of the 1000. I'm watching this video and I'm still crying. What an epic moment!

[@gloriaperez631]

Felicidades! Lo isieron fabulosamente

[@dragonoftheeast695]

Must of been sooo fun 🤘

[@ikerina]

Love to see some love for Muse. A great band yet I feel still underrated. You guys did awesome.

[@MuseFranceofficiel]

amazing ! i think you picked the perfect muse song to be played with 1000 people in the same time ! i was a singer for rockin'1000 in stade de france 2019. I hope you will be back in France someday :) good job all of you

[@WaxierWarrior]

Muse was a large part of my childhood and early adolescence, and in fact was the band my dad used to introduce me to rock. Knights of Cydonia especially has a special role in my heart. Absolutely jealous of the people who could attend it and thankful for the 1000+ members of the band and organisers.

[@gorillazzillathemeh5897]

In my youth, this song pumped me up so much. Made me want to write stories of space vagabonds fighting off armies and navies in the inky black of space, saving worlds of multitude

[@garrydelday5816]

I’m almost certainly being biased being a huge MUSE fan but this is probably the best performance by Rockin 1000 ever, with the possible exception of Won’t Get Fooled Again by the Who. You guys simply blow my mind with every performance, there are so many that I keep coming back to and never tire of watching. Hoping to catch you live one day 🤞👌

[@kliajesal4592]

This randomly popped into my feed. It may well be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.

[@lunariaflora]

this is so sick, i was tearing up watching this many people look so happy and passionate while making music together. so inspirational!

[@lwalker8206]

How are hundreds of drummers and guitarists playing in unison so tight? Great song really!

[@jjeshop]

If you slow it down you can hear different people improvising

[@JohnKerans]

Conductor

[@enricofarina8427]

the conductor is important, but more so in the days preceding the show to bring together 1000 musicians. In reality the synchronization is obtained thanks to a clicktrack that everyone has in their earphones

[@sipenarekbecha7193]

​@@enricofarina8427I'm a noob in instruments, are they harmonizing each other or are they completely in unison ? 🤔

[@enricofarina8427]

@@sipenarekbecha7193we follow a clicktrack in earphones. No harmonizing each others. From one side of the fiele to the other there are 100 meters. Sound runs 340 metres per second. So there is a huge delay. Musicians cannot harmonize each other because of the delay

[@MasterDecoy]

pouring one out for the sound techs

[@Rygoat]

The drums still sounding as good as they do is amazing, i was expecting it to be more muddled

[@parsiuskarma5028]

Music can only unite the people of the world and end all conflicts. Please play for peace and human existence. 🙏

[@francescobaraldi8220]

Proud to be 1/1000 in Cesena ❤

Knights of cydonia is absolutely epic!! Thank you 🔥

[@martijndevis]

mic checking must be a nightmare with a setup up like this. cudos to the sound engineers holy cow

[@ripurhrtout]

I remember discovering rocking 1000 a few years ago and it still remains one of the coolest things I have ever seen

[@garrydelday5816]

The best band on the Planet being done by the best band on the Planet, whichever way around you want to look at it 😉 MUSE and ROCKIN 1000 👌 simply epic ❤️

[@jway9097]

Best band on the planet 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not even close. It's just Muse, not Iron Maiden.

If the world ever came together….. im glad it was for this ❤❤❤❤

Oh wow, what a nostalgic Guitar Hero song, and this 1000 musicians cover is amazing, great job!

[@geetraldinha]

I saw your other videos and was like "Will they ever play a Muse song someday? Muse might not be a super popular band but their music is awesome". Now I'm in tears watching this at 3am LOL! This song was made for a stadium show. Its energy is electrifying. Thank you guys. What a great job.

[@paulwood5803]

This is when you know that, as a band, you have REALLY made, when the Rockin 1000 play one or more of your songs....... outstanding! Also you MUST come to the UK and play Wembley Stadium, that would be truly EPIC!

[@sjwilloughby-greene8214]

It's a beautiful world, and this proves it. Music unites. Much respect. This totally made my day. ✌️😊

[@Yezuzmx]

I cried a bit. So beautiful.

[@UOAPlays]

I can't even imagine the insane amount of coordination to set this all up. Getting 1000 people in the same place and on the same page. The thousands of wires that had to be run everywhere. The light systems. The cinematographers.The sound mixers. Oh, and the electrical work just to handle that load.

[@enricofarina8427]

Not so bad for an italian team! Unbelievable, isn’t it?

When the drum line hit the only thing I could think of and you'll never unhear it, "Boots and Cats"

[@clansome]

That it was fabulous. My only criticism would be the lack of a falsetto as per the original, other than that perfect.

The guy in the Slash hat jamming on his key-tar is my spirit animal.

Muse and Green Day reposted our video, so we suppose they really liked our performance!

This gives me the same feeling of awe as another video. Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven performed by Heart and an entire ensemble. Robert Plant and Jimmy Page watched live, and cried. I hope Muse sees this video!
