Making - Showbiz

[@emilstenstadselen3050]

Its so cool that Matthew plays butterflies and hurricanes on the piano long before they recorded Absolution!!!

[@WaterDragon1963]

emil Stenstad Selen "rekorded"

[@vesper180]

emil Stenstad Selen yeah, I also think they played Bliss years before they recorded it...

[@cstubbssubs7746]

Muse started in 94. They had a lot of time to whip up songs like Plug in Baby long and Bliss before they could record them

[@EddieTehBoss]

+emil Stenstad Selen Also the psycho riff was invented very early. like 24 years before the original release!

[@justblake9769]

NSA FUCKOFF they used it as an outro live

[@moraddoukkali8683]

4:19 , he was already playing a part of butterflies and hurricanes , that came years later

[@NickDonovanMusic]

Amazing

[@EdgyCraft]

they also recorded a demo for plug in baby like 4 years prior to origin of symmetry

[@TT-fv5ro]

@@EdgyCraft yeah but it didn’t have the iconic riff

[@piereligio_ds]

It also sounds like the accent used in map of the problematique. Amazing 😁

such wow

[@jenn7893]

Wait

[@MrGeewiz1]

They chose that name because when Matt and Dom were living in Exeter briefly, they lived above a porn shop and in that porn shop was a Japanese porno called the rocket baby dolls

[@lavenzaa]

The band that has changed so much over the years but still to this day is pure genius.

[@deathwitheponine]

8:30 is my fave bit. They’re such children and I love them. Glad they always seem to have a great time together.

[@ryeofoatmeal]

reading these old comments here was 15 years ago. that was 2009. it feels ages ago, it does. 2009 when the resistance release, the year I became muse fan. watching this is bittersweet.. how far they've come. mind blowing

[@nadvt11]

I thought I was going to be all alone in this comment section in 2024, nice to bump into this comment!

[@muscless89]

4:16 Butterflies and Hurricanes? Nice...

[@the_emmo]

I thought exactly the same :D

[@muscless89]

Emmo Hernández and to think this man is now making songs like the globalist and aftermath :')

[@the_emmo]

San Sal I know. They've grown so much. But they are just as amazing as they were back then.

[@muscless89]

I agree completely

[@aethernaveritas6703]

+WadsMitterGaMinG They are.

[@mariaayanyan]

I liked the last song) They are so young! They don't have the instruments here but after hard work they became a legendary band! The best in the world! They inspire me, show that nothing is given easily. That you have to work hard to reach your dream, your desire. Now Muse is very big part of my life. I don't know how I lived without them so many years... For me they are Gods, Gods of Music!

[@reese8050]

Lol and the more instrument they got, the more they became less interesting.

[@puredruid]

Chris on the drums at the end haha I love how naive Matt is in this interview compared to more recent interviews!

[@BlanchestarlightUwU]

He was 21, and it was one of his first interviews! If anything, he was inexperienced!

[@oliver7497]

never want him to stop talking xD and when i listen to them, i never want them to stop playing!

[@Elektron_]

Everyone went crazy about hearing B&H at 4:16 but I watched a video of a Muse gig in 1999 and suddenly Matt started to play PSYCHO RIFF!

[@Stella-vp5zg]

Elisa Pajer yeah, they’ve played the Psycho riff for a very long time and apparently tried to make it into a song for quite a while too, but it’s only in 2015 that they manage to turn it into Psycho.

[@sarou3457]

great album for a new band and the start of a great career

[@sercastamere9853]

THEY'RE SO YOUNG.

Matt makes me feel good about being skinny.

[@Msmuseaddict]

What a wonderful-MUSEY-genuine story! So enjoyed seeing they guys of Muse as extremely young men, loaded with talent and energy. And they still are so very talented, of course, with all their terrific albums as evidence. Think that Matt is such a natural and knows what he wants to write, compose and perform, because that's what he feels on an emotional and intellectual level. sheer genius

[@Beevenhouse]

And here I thought I couldn't love Bellamy more than I already do. I stand corrected.

[@distortion1222]

Beevenhouse same ❤️

[@MaquiladoraIII]

_Showbiz_ still stands the test of time as a terrific first album. Props to John Leckie as well for some excellent production.

[@bardicee]

2022 and I'm watching this. Muse was always good, man, it's Will of the People times and I'm so proud of them... (brazilian fan here!)

Words cannot describe how much I love this video.

[@farhanmahalludin]

Matt is only 21 by the time Showbiz came out and I barely knew what to do with my life at that age.

[@hanyuufurude13]

I love that bit at the end. It's fun to just see them messing around. That's what making music is supposed to be about. It's supposed to be fun.

[@novalytra]

Oh my lord they are all so cute!! ^^

[@Xavvie]

I love Chris messing about on Dom drums while he tries to pack them up :P Using his head as a second drum haha :) Lovely video, thank you very much for posting it! Matt not knowing about Blues yet making such a heartbreaking beautiful song in that style just shows what a genius this man is :)

[@Si_Hi]

4:15 Sound like a really early Butterflies and Hurricanes.

[@vibecheck4581]

He had that face as Hm I should show the guys lol

[@MaximumPrat]

Is there an interview in which Matt doesn't refer back to good old 'Battle of the Bands' story? lol

[@nerea4327]

Pretty sure Matt DID know what blues was. His father showed him a lot of old records, and he wanted to play in a jazz band before Muse. I guess he just didn't know what made Falling Down a blues song. In the same sense he was always surrounded by music, but didn't learn music theory until much later.

[@TheLoveIsForever97]

Matt is a genius on the piano.. i al ready knew that but still i'm allways suprised when i see him play. ^^

[@IAmTheNoodleFish]

Thanks for this epic bit of Muse history. it's amazing how much Matt is like wine... better and better with age :D

[@emaginarymusic]

"Just like an angel blows" became "just like a virgin blows" became "another corporate show"..interesting. I love hearing all the different versions of their lyrics.

[@kcjade5221]

emelis Bit late (currently going on a Muse binge) but at first I thought I'd been hearing it wrong all this time 😂😂

[@Char_LotteT]

man, i LOVE this video. it's so old, and the first time i see john leckie and found out how..new matt is to music! he didnt had a clue about a few things in music and it really realte to me how he was just like us and now he has made it big as a rock god!

[@molovesmusic567]

ha i love how matt plays at the end :D its so amazing how they've come so far from battle of the bands to selling out wembley stadium :)

Andrew S Showbiz and Origin probably feel special for you because nostalgia.

[@PutzlumpenLP]

Andrew S Oh well then. Just something that I often feel, for example the first two Billy Talent albums.

[@PutzlumpenLP]

Andrew S They're nothing like Muse, more like Screamo Punk Rock but they're awesome, check them out.

Great video! Thank you so much for uploading. I love that the video shows how open minded Muse are, which is one of the things that make them so great.

I wonder what did they record this video for, was like a documental for a new band on a studio? I mean they were not famous back then or anything. I definitely love that they did though, it is so great to see them when they started.

[@PutzlumpenLP]

Wasn't showbiz their very first album? How could they already afford all this and why are they already being interviewed before even being a bit famous?

[@danielmccarthy1256]

Putzlumpen They got signed and were getting booked at a ton of gigs at the time. The label probably paid for a documentary or maybe it was Kirk doing it all.

[@PutzlumpenLP]

Daniel McCarthy Thanks for the information, appreciate it!

[@vesper180]

Putzlumpen Also,..because they had been working their butts off, practicing, writing and playing anywhere/everywhere they could, they also worked other regular "day" jobs, too...when they were first starting out (even before they got signed I think?) so they could afford some things.

[@Zooropa_Station]

Are you not aware they had a bunch of demo tapes and two EPs before Showbiz? Sounds like you have a couple dozen "new" Muse songs to listen to. Coma is one of my all time favorites.

[@alexatetris]

This was heart stopping.

[@pafa92]

guys, you are going to be one of the best bands in the world! and this album will 29th in UK and sell milions! be ready :P

[@anairda1321]

hell yeah!!!! he looks so good!!! love it

[@Sj1h]

@jsabo1929 No i think John meant Matt didnt understand what he was picking up as blues in the song.

[@edwardstables5153]

the other studio that he talks about near the beginning is a place called sawmill studios and it is literally a mile from where I live. You can only get to it by boat and I would've had my work experience there if it wasn't for my parents not wanting me to go somewhere that 'I was never going to work at'!

[@Kirketerpen]

That's stupid! Work experience is about trying different things and opening opportunities

[@jayway6823]

Oh is it? Damn that would've been sick to have had work experience there. I live in truro btw, i wanna go to that studio eventually😂

Sorry John Leckie but I'm pretty sure Matthew knew what blues was, seeing as part of his A Level course involved a Jazz Blues study.

[@vesper180]

OllieHarris95 quick question: what are "A level courses"? How does it work in the UK school system? (I'm from US, so don't know)

It's definitely the middle piano section of B&H though. He probably had that piece around for years before adding it to a song.

no this is actually the verse, just before the drums com in with full power.
