Muse Assassin Live at Mayan 2015

[@wadayy3930]

In my opinion, this is still the best performance of Assassin

[@annaplotnikova9285]

Absolutely the best!!🔥🔥🔥🖤

I feel like theres so much praise to matt's skills (which he absolutely deserves) but theres plenty of unsung heroes in their performances and this video shows it. Nevertheless theyre pretty fucking tight tho

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

truly godlike sound engineering on this show. it's one of my favorites for that reason alone, it's so fucking clean

[@bassdrummer9849]

Assassins remains one of Dom's best performances on drums. Seriously, it will take you a while to play this song on a decent level!

[@geisenm]

Matt’s guitar tones in this would be ludicrously good by studio recording standards. For a live performance…good god man

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

He and his tech(s) probably devote a good deal of effort to his tones. It's clearly got a lot of love and money and attention lavished on it. 😄

[@kylejarmolych]

The kemper profiles he used for this are out in the world now thanks to the reverb sale. My tone accurate cover of assassin is coming 😎

Go at 1:00:32 on this live : kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIvdn3tupJtqb7M He played a similar riff and said that it was certainly going to be a riff in the next album coming in ~ 2021 :))

​@@tutsybassistaand it's based on Rachmaninoff's Prelude G minor, op.23, No. 5

[@mrdrew2397]

everyone’s talking about how kill or be killed is the hardest muse has ever gone, but 05:30 of this performance is the chunkiest chug i’ve ever heard

0:48 How does this have so much more PUNCH than any other Assassin performance there is ?

[@charliemcmillan4230]

I know! It’s got like EXTREME bass drum and bass guitar, this is my favorite version of the song even over the studio because of that

[@marclink0]

Yes! So tasty!

[@Coul33t]

For the whole live, he's using a way more distorted sound than usual (same for New Born and SMBH for example), and on Assassin it just sounds so nice! There's a huge contrast between the verses/bridge and the riff due to this distortion difference, and that's what make it sounds so heavy imho :)

[@derianefrain5745]

Yeah and this concert has one of the best post production values in Muse live concerts, don't get fooled by the small place the editing is fantastic.

[@sonuserp4946]

And the phaser he puts right before the distortion makes the sound a lot bigger

[@johnnyenglish190]

Chris's backing vocals are so amazing here!

[@arifhidayat9562]

The muse song that is pure alternative metal (well also progressive metal), this is why muse is the coolest rock band on earth, the heaviest & most headbanging rock band. When they played this song they're on level with system of a down hha

[@Mr_ScarfFace021]

This sounds a lot like a Dream Theater song

[@iqbalmuhammad2920]

I'm a very big fan of SOAD first 3 albums. But for longevitiy & consistency alone, Muse is ahead of SOAD. And in high quality live performances too.

there are no words to discribe the pure and extreme high quality right here

[@arielogwin780]

I never get tired of this performance. It's one of my fave muse songs and lives bc it just sounds EVEN BETTER LIVE. THE CHORUS LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER AT POINTS. ITS SOOO SATISFYING. plus we get a lot of Dom footage and this is one of don't best parts on any muse track I think.

Kyle Jarmolych sounds like E string 9th fret harmonic, or even both strings is it not?
