Muse - Plug In Baby REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@luisteixeira00]

7:32 My man here playing 6 over 8 arpeggios on a complex chord progression without even glancing at the guitar, while belting out a pitch perfect vocal

[@Dust80]

Not to take anything away from Matt but He's been doing the song for a long time and can do the guitar in his sleep lol...

[@paddington2063]

Fun fact: this riff won Q magazine’s riff of the decade. Though I do think Q magazine has a bit of a bias towards Muse haha

[@davidsimpson5569]

They've had Morgan playing live with them since 2004,he originally stood in at 1st on bass,when Chris broke his wrist. He plays any extra layers needed for that particular song. So I've seen him play keys,percussion,guitar.

[@Dan-os9kg]

Also vocals.

[@MrGeewiz1]

I witnessed Morgan playing bass for Muse in 2004 at V Festival. The band really didn’t want to pull out of the festival so that’s why they hired Morgan. If it had been a standard gig then they probably would have pulled out. Also Morgan wasn’t officially a part of the live band until 2006. Once Chris was fit to play bass again in 2004, Morgan left.

[@shoots_austin]

This song's got a nice groove and when it came out, everyone was blown away by the intro and riff

[@victorjba]

That concert was in the Rome Olympic Stadium but not in the olympics, the olympics in Rome were in 1960 XDDDD Muse played in the London 2012 closing ceremony. And yes, they're three but live they have a keyboard/guitar/percussion/backing vocals player, but he's always a bit hidden. All the focus are in the official members of the band.

[@FoxUnitNell]

Mr. Bean must be hidden after his near screw up in the opening ceremonies.

[@stud105]

😂😂😂 That constant tenuous link in their brains... It's why I watch reaction videos...

[@tatianaknight6419]

He is so generous with his comments ,unbelievable genius of a musician 🤣

[@gregkirk1842]

Insane energy in the crowd. This isnt one of my favorite Muse songs, but it gows on ya.

[@murtbuggy1]

You used the word "good" alot in the review. Think what you meant to say was...it's as "good" as it gets!!! The vocals, the guitar, the tune, the TALENT. Probably caught you off guard.

[@vgkail]

As a Muse Fan I totally agreed with you. This song is pretty simple, and for concerts it works, however, there are far better songs in the lyrics departament. As always thank you for staying true to yourself and your criteria 7.6 is pretty solid in your chart. Cheers!

[@paulolapa3040]

His vocals are inspired on Jeff Buckley's. This song was their great first hit, back in 2001, from their second album. It's not the most complex of their songs, but it's a very good and solid rock song. Very catchy riff and nice melodic verse, bridge and chorus. My favorite Muse song is "Stockholm Syndrome" from their third album. For me, the best rock song of this century.

[@Mizu_Mizz]

This is a best way to hearing MUSE while see them playing guitars&drums infront of us.. i agree, what u hear on their album, they give us better at LIVE version

[@IrishGuitarGaz]

Things which don't exist: Vampires Time Machines Fairies Bad Muse concerts

[@GT.Bugger]

I'm a little surprised you've not heard this, along with Hysteria and Uprising it's one of their most known and most played song. But I do agree with your score and review. Very fair.

[@grahamkey8496]

40000 Muse fans: MY PLUG-IN BA-BYYYYYYY!!! DH: Harrumph!

[@oilybohunk7]

Matt is classically trained/inclined the ride is inspired by Toccata and Fugue by Bach.

[@roverfavela]

It’s not my favorite Plug in baby live performance but I love Muse 👌🏻

[@alemao771207]

I love your honest reactions! I do not comment very much. Muse don't block, cause they know how to deal with reactions! I also apologize for my english and i am really drunk and enjoy your videos.

[@bibbyboxx2219]

When I first heard this song, it really didn’t do much for me, but I’ve since learned to like it a lot more.

[@denizgunes3672]

I recommend you check out muscle museum by them. It's from their first album

[@Hugohhhgg]

I’ve heard from many different people that Matt uses no vocal technique while singing. His voice is just pure emotion of the lyrics.

[@Dan-os9kg]

Definitely a touch of hypocrisy in the review in my opinion. You complain that Matt/Muse aren't playing to the audience or really getting them involved but in this song he's literally running as he plays the intro, involves the crowd with the chorus, plays the fills/solo whilst singing and closing his eyes. I think this is a great, crowd pleasing anthem but you didn't seem impressed. Bit bizarre imo

[@patriciacloix71]

Muse génies talentueux brilliant phénomènal merci à vous moi c'est 10 mais 7 /9 c'est pas mauvais du tout moi je suis fan et je note 10 a tout de Muse c'est trop bon salut de France 🎸👏👍🇫🇷😱

[@markgriffin45]

Of all the live performances, they choose this one. Not even close to the usual standard for this song. So frustrating. Great review as always. You look super tired in this one David.

[@yoyonco10]

Yeah my favorite is reading 2002 lol

[@ROCKSTARR338]

Did you notice the stage is shaped like a guitar

[@JDC701]

Super fair score! It's a middle of the road song. Great review, hope to see Space Dementia live at Pinkpop 04 in the future ;)

[@fredbarnes2049]

Stop me if you've heard this one ...there's nothing wrong with it. Vocals on point, instruments too. Great showmanship. Love the guitar riff. But it didn't grab me. Great reaction!

[@thatsriiiiight4170]

You can tell its one of their radio hits

[@alanbetts1973]

Loving the channel here in the UK. You should check out Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro, I think you would like. Try the tracks livings a problem, that golden rule, bubbles and unknown male 01. Check them out!

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I've actually done several reactions to Biffy Clyro already.

[@alanbetts1973]

@@THEDavidHereticyes, I've just watched them. Hope to see you check out some more. Mon the biff!

[@MeatballCereal]

Muse is an odd band. One of the biggest bands certainly in Europe, maybe in the world...except in the US. They can have 60,000+ people singing their songs (even the guitar riffs!) in an Italian stadium, then come to the USA on a small club tour. We're just not their market. They're one of my favorites though.

[@nerea4327]

This is when of their most popular songs, mainly for the riff. But yeah, they were high on shrooms while making this and even Bellamy admits he doesn't know what he's singing about. It's a classic and it's great live, but they have far better songs.

[@robhaunui3343]

Love Muse,been a fan since I got their first EP back in '98. This is their first big breakthrough number,and my favourite Muse song,but this performance certainly isn't my favourite (too much theatrics - there I said it),and I much prefer earlier performances of this song,so all in all,you pretty much gave it the score that it deserved.

[@grahamkey8496]

Agreed this was the first song that brought Muse to my attention. Not sure what's wrong with this performance - it could be the mix, or the performance or a bit of both.

[@miralex67]

This version is great because of the crowd but the studio version could help you more in this song. It's a song of 2001 and this live is from 2013 and Muse can't deliver the exact feeling of this song here

[@jonathanredworth6112]

Love your reactions and review, but agree that this is not one of the best videos to react to when it comes to Muse as there are many better examples! Would love to see you react to Rolo Tomassi, they are this amazing band from the UK who have been around for ages and hardly anyone knows about them. Definitely Recommend ROLO TOMASSI - Contretemps *Live* @ SCALA 09.11.18

[@gasparchan_mx]

Good video. I don't know if you have React to Unnatural Selection Live at The Den on your list. It is from his few presentations of that song live, I would like to know your opinion of it. Greetings

[@Diego_SS]

React The Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin. Please!! Good Job! Amazing video!

[@chrisgonzalez4414]

You should check out Pressure featuring the UCLA marching band..Good stuff..Its on my boppers playlist.

[@chickenandshrimp1338]

GOGGS - SHOTGUN SHOOTER

[@splodge561]

The Olympics 🤣😂

[@dkshines]

Haha you should listen 2000 version of this song, not this flushy updated version they played since 2006 probably

[@hthuseby]

I really like their music but I feel like the Muse is a Studio band and that their music doesn't translate well to Live in concert settings. Thanks again for honest reaction, get some rest David!

[@markgriffin45]

Ha, very wrong. Most would agree that it's the other way around.

[@vleskavideo5798]

Can you react to Muse cave pinkpop 2000? You may enjoy that abit more than this one.

[@shoots_austin]

In your own time I'd recommend watching this old old version kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKm5kGRmpr-Dl5o

[@isaciocardozo4147]

ridiculous old man, just like me

[@hardcorechristopher9174]

Good

[@cartoonwatcher7]

First?
