Don't forget Sunburn, Muscle Museum, Uno, Fillip (probably the most dynamic), Hate This and I'll Love You...alright, the album's just pretty perfect

[@devon8419]

It's kinda front loaded but still a good album nevertheless

[@YurkerYT]

Ironically enough Hate this and I'll love you is the track i dislike the most from Showbiz

[@billyyeah7530]

Origin of symmetry blows showbiz out of the water. Showbiz is amazing and got me into muse but my god origin of symmetry blows my mind every time I hear it. The talent on display is incredible in that album in particular

[@reese8050]

Showbiz is still my favorite, lol. Though I've listened to the whole album of Origin Of Symmetry. I just love the message of the song Showbiz, it's the song that made the whole album real good. But sike, Origin Of Symmetry is pretty god like too.

[@pianina7653]

23 year-old track...wow We also need to mention that these guys were barely 20 years old when they released Showbiz...

[@xepyne]

we can see that they didn't have all the experience yet, it's an album that's still innocent, a start, and to listen to it again it's incredible

[@xepyne]

matt's voice was so fresh and young, his falsetto was so high

[@xepyne]

what a great period

[@xepyne]

@@shaun2160 yeah I saw that yesterday, it's not the same, but we feel the maturity, Matt is like a good vine hah

[@seanwhitford1537]

Matt uses blues notes a lot (off scale notes) in his writing. It is one of my favorite things in his guitar style. And Chris is one of my fav rock bass players, easily. Dom is just fabulous as a drummer.

[@pvksl]

No one ever reacts to Muse's 'Exo-Politics', and I think that's a real shame. IMO the track is one of the most underrated songs they've made.

[@gmetzgermusic]

It’s on my list to do!

[@valky4582]

this is so true

[@lorenzolotti6814]

My fav song of all time!

[@mygetawayart]

This is basically my second favourite Muse song. Every little thing, from the "heartbeat" as you noted in the beginning, to the very gloomy chord progression, the very personal lyrics about being forced to control one's own feelings for too long and then explosively not being able to handle that anymore, the desperate solo and melody, the extremely high ending, even the distortion throughout the whole song, the heartbeat that comes back in the end...make this, in my opinion, their most raw and emotional track. It's a buildup of pent up emotions and an explosion of uncontrollable feelings. So glad you liked it and and that you keep checking out their songs because they really deserve the love. Lately i've noticed people's conception of Muse is not representative of what they truly do so i'm always happy to recommend to new listeners their best tracks. I can't wait for you to check out The Globalist.

[@c-st4r]

The thing I love about their first 3 albums was hearing Matt inhale so loudly i dno why but it just adds so much if you listen out for it

[@gmetzgermusic]

It's something a lot of bands are afraid to do, but if done right it sounds great.

[@dkshines]

That tribal drumming putting me into trance. And i love how song getting more intense till the end.

[@Thephenomenalbenny]

Your comments on these Muse songs are always onpoint. Keep going

[@gmetzgermusic]

Thanks, will do!

[@greenjay8096]

One of my favourites this. In my top five Muse songs for sure

[@willeh1947]

I’ve subscribed just to see this slow journey through Muse songs haha. “Muscle museum” if you want to see what his voice does, a lot of people have to do double takes. Just remember during the last minute it is still his voice. Edit: I’d also recommend after listening to these songs, even not as a reaction I would watch them live. They have a real stage presence whether in a stadium of 70k+ or a small audience of a thousand.

[@elizabethstrong6057]

I didn't realize until I finally started watching their performances 🤯

[@gmetzgermusic]

I'll be doing Muscle Museum soon. I will go back and listen to live versions after I listen to studio.

[@ahabbellamy8098]

Gabriel you will definitely love Time is running out. I have a great feeling you will. Thank you again and again and again.

[@gmetzgermusic]

Added to the list!

[@GrimBirthday]

I love showbiz it's my 2nd favorite next to muscle museum

[@gmetzgermusic]

I'll be doing Muscle Museum soon!

[@Trust-ur-gut]

What a masterpiece it is 💜

[@billyyeah7530]

I feel like it needs to be known that Matt pulls the solo and entire vocal outro off perfectly live. Vocals aren’t completely over processed, the guys voice really sounds like that.

[@bassbeginner7951]

Muse got a bunch of ' Build Up Song ' like showbiz 🤘

[@chrismartin2663]

This is one of those times where I feel like Matt is singing/screaming what would be a lead guitar part on most other bands. Great way to end my fav song on the album. Also I have fond memories of this from the first time I saw them play this live, Glastonbury 2000, before they were headline material, this closed their set and ended with a comical attempt at destruction if the drum kit. Good times. Anyway, glad you liked it.

[@evasanchezsaez8685]

Thanks for analyzing this song! It's one of my favorite ones. It's true that it starts low but it has fury. And there is a video of them playing this song in their early years that is a treasure. Matt Bellamy throws his guitar to the sea and destroys even the battery... I love it.

[@mss11235]

Lol. I just mentioned Showbiz on the Micro Cuts video. Once you start to enjoy their live stuff and how it has varried over the years (as well as grown into a spectacle), you will REALLY get to enjoy their musicianship.

[@gmetzgermusic]

Listened to some live stuff, they are awesome!

[@gmetzgermusic]

Another awesome track from Muse! Prepare for a inbox flood tomorrow. Eric Gales and Steve Vai have new albums coming out tomorrow and I'll have reactions to all of the songs on both of them.

[@Fathersmidmeals]

You know which channel I think is super underrated?? Metal Piano Music. The guy spends weeks composing classic metal songs into classical/relaxing piano pieces and he hardly gets any views. I love his arrangement of The Sentinel by Judas Priest. That guy really deserves support 👏

[@N13TheGeneral]

Sounds similar to what Richard Cheese did, but with Jazz instead of piano, I'll check it out

[@MoogieSRO]

I really love your technical insights on these songs. I'm not a musician myself and most of it flies over my head, but I find it fascinating nonetheless, and makes me appreciate your reactions more because I know this is a guy who knows what he's talking about. You know quality and good song writing when you hear it. So that feels especially genuine to me. It's also great to hear any criticisms you might have, I hope you don't feel pressured to shy away from saying anything negative if you don't like something that gets suggested. We Muse fans are a rabid bunch, but we won't bite, honest! ;)

[@gmetzgermusic]

Not at all, most of the time I don’t have too many negatives to say, and if I did I wouldn’t be putting the reactions up because that doesn’t do me or the viewer any good. Been thoroughly enjoying Muse!

[@patriziafranco2536]

You need to listen to live version at Reading Festival 2017 🔥

[@bye122]

Nope, Astoria 2000 is better imo.

[@abbey3247]

i know you're inundated with muse recs, but an odd one i have to shoutout is eternally missed. it's the b-side to hysteria. matt said during the making of absolution that, at the time, they thought it was the best song they had, but during the album process that status changed. but it's a classic for me, one of their most bizarre/obscure in my opinion!

[@gmetzgermusic]

Added to the list!

[@mariamcalderonbucio]

Here in Mexico they had 2 concerts on their last Simulation Theory tour. I went to both concerts but one of the concerts was dedicated to the Musers (fans). Normally they don't play Showbiz at their concerts, it's very rare, but as all the fans we asked them to play it(by social media), at that concert they played that song. We were all crying with emotion and especially because Matt told us before playing it that they had heard our request. It was super epic. Check Hullabaloo, you will love. And also check playing live, they are the best. Greetings from Mexico!

[@PianoMelodyNotes]

Showbiz is a lot of stuff! one of the greatest expressions of the Muse

[@proevoisace7]

I don't know how much time you have and if you'd even want to do it but you could react to Muse live at Shepherds Bush in 2017, it was a request show where the fans picked the setlist, best gig of my life, Showbiz was one of the tracks that was chosen and its one of their best performances of that song

[@gmetzgermusic]

Thinking of picking out a Muse concert and doing a live stream reaction of it sometime down the line when I've checked out more of their catalog.

[@Wallflower96]

Pls do Butterflies and hurricanes

[@Wallflower96]

@Muse Muser love it 😍😍

[@gmetzgermusic]

@@gmetzgermusic niceee ☺️

[@smbh1913]

Another songs on this album believe it was a single? if not was a like a fan favourite album track 'Cave' is a great listen, puts so much emotion behind the music. I always thought of showbiz (the song), that the drums sound like the Jumanji drums, like your entering the wild-side of your psyche kind of thing. But the main takeaway I got from the first album was the songs were so dramatic, emotional, and had a huge sound to them. Muse have always been good at building tensions within their songs and when you hit that peak your always rewarded whether it be with soaring crescendos, and blissful pianos or slamming down to earth with a solid heavy/'sharp' beat/solo. Great Dynamics. But they are an amazing band you should check out whether for the channel or personally some of their B-sides for some bands it's better than their A-sides.

[@gmetzgermusic]

Absolutely I think the only B-side I've done so far is Fury: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nafZnoyXn8-sf5I

[@benking9795]

I believe that low F# is coming from an acoustic bass played by Chris as opposed to Matt's guitar, great video

[@gmetzgermusic]

Ah cool! Sometimes difficult to tell whether it’s guitar or bass.

[@kevindenning89]

Try some of their live stuff sooo much better then the studio versions

[@gmetzgermusic]

For first listen through I prefer studio.

[@backupraceres]

We know our stuff 'bout Muse, Gabriel ;) This is by no means a popular song to listen on TopOfThePops jeje but a great one to play and enjoy very different of what the world was listening to at that time

[@alvisfontanes2378]

Yo bro u should Check out yes please from muse live at bizarre festival 2000

[@MsNewsted]

w00h00

[@bye122]

Please do this live at astoria 2000?

[@gmetzgermusic]

I don’t do the same song twice cause it loses the point of a first reaction. I’ll check it out though.

[@bye122]

@@gmetzgermusic Trust me with muse it's whole different feel live, especially that live version I pointed out.

[@sanmama1602]

Why not Showbiz Live in 2017? But thanks! Going to watch you now. Get your hands on the "Origin of Muse" box. I know you'd love it, but it's not for youtube clicks.

[@bye122]

No, the earlier ones are better as he can't sing as high anymore.

[@Tocaraca]

Did your The Handler reaction get taken down?

[@gmetzgermusic]

Yes, unfortunately. I put in a dispute so hopefully it will go back up.

[@alexanderobrien7111]

Have you got perfect pitch?

[@mss11235]

At the very least relative pitch. Unless, he's cheating with a tuner beside himself, browsing charts/tabs as he listens, or something like that, I would guess that, yeah he has perfect pitch. I mean he nailed the low acoustic F# note. Otherwise, I really enjoy how this guy picks out intervallic and scalar choices pretty spot on often. Actually, let me check out his Knights vid to see if he nails the circular modulations by major thirds during the verse parts. Lol

[@gmetzgermusic]

No, I've just spent a lot of time listening to music. lol

[@dani_guevaraaa]

Check Stockholm Syndrome Livee Glastonbury 2004 please i need this reactiooon

[@gmetzgermusic]

I already did studio version of Stockholm Syndrome, I don't typically do two reactions for the same song.
