Muse - Bliss live @ Bizarre Festival 2000 [HD]

[@rociogarcia5597]

He's like: I don't know wtf I'm doing (x ...Oh there's the camera, I'll pretend I totally know what I'm doing (*mad genius face*)

[@arcobow97]

I think it's really cool how Muse played stuff before it was even released. It's really cool to see early versions of some of their greatest work.

[@Chico50445]

Yeah, I think my favorite song demo is Exo Politics which was titled Burning Bandits. New Born is essentially the same except the lyrics are in a different order. But that is one of the reasons I am excited about this new album, they said they'll have an acoustic version of every song on the album.

[@ItsSomeDeadGuy]

I love how everyone on the outside is staring at Muse like "wtf o_o". God I love this band.

[@Dwilestari-oi6wg]

Matt's laugh at the begining 😆. Then his face like "oh i'm not sure, what is this?" but the show must go on so he keep rocking till the end of the song, then he's laughing again when it finished. Cool performance. 👍👍👍

[@wooyoung2154]

muanteeppp jiwaaa hehehe

[@catag811]

I love the blue hair phase, it matches his eyes hahahaha I cannot get enough this band....

[@Meddled]

You can tell they were a confident band, even early on, to play something like this live. This sounds like it came straight from the rehearsal room. I think this is a cool version!

[@rlyehdate]

This Bliss version is too Bizarre... You got it? Bizarre!! 'cos it's the Bizarre Festival hahahaha... I need friends.

[@RobertSmith-df4vk]

Indeed (:

[@peurias]

+rlyehdate You like Muse, you already are my friend.

[@err5539]

I don't speak english, but Jajan't

[@pinku708]

The crowd’s a little confused but they got the spirit.

[@thesvenvids7708]

This is my favourite Muse video. Reasons: 1)Matt's face at the beginning. 2)Cos Muse.

[@Liana87able]

Early version of bliss may not be the best, but his voice is so yesss. Eargasm

[@smars1161]

I'm diggin' the profile pic

[@smars1161]

03:41 This bit... so beautiful -,_,-

[@TED1082]

I saw it live and nobody was checking wat was happening! It was just like "This is outa Space"... You cant get me with any new Bands but THIS was just great and outstanding.This Lp stands next to my Pink Floyd and ELP Vinyls. Muse kick ass!!!

[@ahabbellamy8098]

You lucky bastard

[@mayan9834]

I was there and already loved them. Bliss is still one of my favourite Songs 💙

[@musefreaky]

Love this version its raw and unpolished

[@EdgyCraft]

matt has always looked like a mad scientist

[@SamHutchinsonLEGO]

0:35 wow. just wow.

[@pollomartian]

I love this version, I can't stop hear it...

[@jesseruhlz500]

I love this version of Bliss!

[@lucamancask8]

Bliss for Supermario.

[@jua.904]

Luca Manca Bliss for Top Gear (super famicon)

[@EstevanDrummer]

Top Gear 100%

[@nerea4327]

I think one of the reasons behind Muse’s success is their confidence. They just played whatever they wanted and did whatever they wanted on stage, not caring what people would think of them or what a new band was supposed to do. They’re still like this to this day. You can’t put them in a box and can’t tell them what to be or what to do.

[@XxlololalalexX]

His singing is and always will be, impecable.

[@TimSenna]

They are such an amazing band for the way their live performances have evolved over the years

[@spiraliastatica]

This Bliss version is a...bliss 😁✨😍

[@johnsnow5650]

Thank you Barry Leitch for making Lotus Challenge/Top Gear soundtrack and thanks to Muse for making the bold attempt to catapult this melody to the stratosphere and beyond. You've got to be a passionate to make this sorts of crazy attempt and I have the utmost respect for that. You can tell 90% of the audience have no fucking idea what they're witnessing because it sounds like nothing they've ever heard before. A visionary mind at work.

[@gertaargghh]

Love how it's only bass, synths and drums without feeling like something's missing

[@captainpain_qc7982]

2:39 if some one looked at me sayin "PEACE AND JOY IN YOUR MIND" i think I would be a little bit scared xd

[@scndsky]

Definitely not the best version, but it's so uplifting to hear what this brilliant song originated from. That synthesiser, man, where did he get that? The absence of the guitar is not even that big of a problem when you can see Matt trying out all the buttons on that synth. This period (2000 - 2002) is their creative peek, it's the nicest period to listen back to, it's when they made their most genre-breaking stuff. I miss that Muse doesn't test out new songs on the audience anymore. I think the last time they did that was with Debase Masons Grog (that was later downgraded to Assassin). The only thing they still test out are riffs, good riffs, but as Psycho has proven, not always songworthy.

[@thetoastedplum]

They once played the riff to psycho in a outro on one of their gigs before drones was released

[@julianwieder130]

+the toasted plumb that's what he meant

[@MrShackleforth]

+Jack Knightley drums they did that outro pretty much always for a couple of years after stockholm syndrome i think

[@lukezz493]

+Jack Knightley drums Actually the Psycho Riff has been used since 1999 as a random riff throughout the songs, until it became Psycho

[@jimhammond9837]

scndsky it's cos they've got enough songs now to play full decent length shows

[@BiiGGziiE]

Note to people moaning about the crowd- ever been to a gig and gone crazy to those unknown acts that come on even well before the supporting act(s)? Muse quite obviously weren't very famous (especially in Germany) at the time and they're clearly playing origin songs a year before origin even existed so of course people aren't gonna be singing along etc etc. At least people are dancing and having fun whilst some blue haired englishman plays with an arpeggiator.

[@alebohemio]

It sounds like a 8 bit Nintendo!! In fact, Matt has been inspired for one of those games for Bliss, I think. I read it somewhere. Almost 10 years from that gig. Now we can say it was an historic moment for Muse. Bliss is such an anthem for us (Muse fans).

[@muhgtra2sd]

I'm watching these videos over and over because I believe this all depicts the thought we have to keep up about Muse; whatever they made at that time was a straightforward beam of geniality, something you may not grab by listening to the new bands and to the stuff supplied nowadays. I think they lost a chunk of their insight and discipline as soon as they realized it was difficult to carry on, perhaps they started focusing on the personal earning and they decided it was worth to put the least effort they might instead of getting drenched around a successful album. What do you make of it?

[@frets3516]

fretui medak I think they kinda forgot what made them unique for the 2nd law, but even they have stated "this (was) too much", so they're going back to OoS and Absolution sound for the next album.

[@tokenofdevotion]

4:13 HA HA

[@lauren.3965]

I love Matt's laught!

[@ashiecloud]

wow that was the first performance of Bliss. Matt's laugh at the end is so cute and random :)

[@TheYourDeadNow]

cool to see what grew up to be the best song ever written

[@Clem94able]

1:41 = Musegasm ;)

[@spiraliastatica]

Ecstatic 😵😍

[@rinbcage]

The Roland Juno-60 is my favorite synth ever. I've only played one once though. So much fun. That arpeggiator is insane!

[@peypq]

I love the intro

[@lbellamy24]

Love the fact that this song sounded live like Super Mario at that time. Bliss, I will love it forever.

[@VR96FE]

I can't believe that it's nearly 20 years ago when one of my all-time favourites got played for the first time live

[@diansuhendri1]

Inilah yang hidup adalah tentang. Mendengarkan musik mengagumkan dan bernyanyi bersama. Setidaknya hidup saya. :)

[@stormyandcold]

Obviously a retro gaming fan XD Still love the final version more, but, this is a good first version.

[@uRaDog]

OMG THE HIGH QUALITY IS FREAKIN AMAZINGGGGG!!!!! this is the best!! wooooooo

[@10xcellent]

[@chefqu3s0]

This was one of the earlier performances from the band, the crowd had never heard these songs or even heard of the band up until then, cut them some slack

[@jumanahhusna]

"HAHAHA Yeah we've never played that ever before" Oh Matt how i luv u!!

[@VayleGW]

why do we love matthew bellamy, 1. his awesome hair (color) 2. his awesome look in the camera!

[@Bihebh]

Matt's laugh at the beginning, aww, so adorable :)

[@fabithierry]

@TheLionHard Si! Alli se conocieron y entablaron una buena relacion. PD: Coldplay se influencio mucho en la musica de Muse en el disco X&Y

[@belcamila]

3:36 ♥♥♥

[@TheTalesofAnonymous]

Oh Matt; you're so awesome!

[@j2daworld]

Thought just the same XD

[@Anfigena]

Owww me encanto :D

[@Alice-fr2op]

❤️MUSE❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰

[@injustice9871]

@bunnykingIII You can tell that Bellamy was distracted by the sound mix too, so that might have had something to do with it as well. at 1:38 you can see him tell the sound guy to turn down his mic.

[@scazdog]

He was only just a legal adult... Wow...

[@nicktoe]

love it

[@clouds882]

His Royal Matt-ness with Royal Blue Coloured Hair, is that fantastic or what! Janis, Singapore

1 PERSON WHO DISLIKE THIS VIDEO ,, HE/SHE NEVER FEEL ANY BLISS IN HIS/HER LIFE :D

[@Asidders]

Love how Dom just kickstarts it 😎

[@elliotk9291]

It sounds weird to listen to the alternate lyrics, but at the same time they kinda make more sense to me

[@SlowDIIV]

This version sounds more similar to that melody from Top Gear. I like it!

[@erickribeiro272]

reminds me too, haha

[@pugNdrum]

Dat head bopping at 4:05 haha

[@kunaikai]

This performance taught me what an arpeggiator is on a synthesizer

[@anb8205]

Hahaha I love the look matt gives to the camera at 0:32

[@meg5323]

0:35 Matt...are you okay? XD

[@mygetawayart]

blue hair matt just hits different...

[@greencatsick]

[@claff564]

This is the first time Bliss was ever played

[@billahbob]
