MUSE - PLUG IN BABY | REACTION

[@RolandDeschain1]

Muse are unquestionably one of the greatest live bands on earth. I've never seen a live show of theirs where Matt's voice wasn't perfect.

look man, im 45 years old. a concert junky for 20 years. from age 15 to 35 I was at every rock show that came in 100 mile radius. ive seen 100s of bands. ive been to music festivals in europe. Last year I seen Muse for the 1st time. let me tell you... that was the best show I have ever seen. hands down, no contest, Muse, best show ever.

[@JamesNicholl]

I've seen Muse 3 times. In a small sweaty room playing to 1000 people, in an "arena" playing to 11,000 people and at an outdoor festival playing to 40,000 people, and they blow the fucking roof off the place everytime. They put on such a great show.

[@ManubibiWalsh]

Muse concerts are the closest thing to an authentic religious experience I’ve ever had. I remember seeing them once and at the end I found myself bawling with a friend because it had been THAT good and we were so fucking sad it was over. Like, desperate, sobbing all over. I’m also planning on getting a Muse-related tattoo. I’ve been a fan for over 15 years now and I can perfectly see myself dying a fan.

This chemistry simply comes by the fact that they have been together as a band (without changing the members) for more than 25 years and more importantly friends for about 30 years.

[@brettg274]

I had the privilege of seeing these guys in 2006 in a 3000 person-capacity club, Soma in San Diego, right before they blew up. They played with this same energy level, amazing band. Matt Bellamy is a musical genius, and Muse is this generation’s Queen, IMO.

[@kelst75]

Muse is a experience. All their albums are fantastic. Isaw the live in Melbourne. Amazing. Matt is an amazing guitarist

[@nerusonsanzenin2786]

Unfortunately the crowd REALLY makes this song magic. I saw them in Sacramento, they're not so big here. He didn't really play with the fuzz in the beginning and not everyone knew to sing the second chorus. See them play this in Japan, Korea, Mexico, Brazil, Portugal, most big places in Europe and it's MAGICAL.

[@TheMattJacks]

I've seen Muse live 2x. It's like being at a concert in space in the year 5000. Dope lights. Perfect on every note. Perfect on every pitch. Perfect synchronicity. Well worth it.

[@earthboundmother205]

I once went to a Cure concert. And there were multiple stages. There was this very small side stage and suddenly everyone was migrating towards this stage. It was Muse. The next time I saw them, at the same venue (Merriweather Post Pavilion), they were the headliners on their Black Holes and Revelations tour. Invincible with all the banners around is the best experience

[@LeeMaitland]

If Muse had a 'stairway to heaven', it'd be the song: Citizen Erased. I guarantee you've never heard anything like it in your life.

[@IrishGuitarGaz]

Muse continue to amaze me with their live performances. It's easy to generate big noise even as a 3-piece (Nirvana did it plenty) but to add the amount of complexity and layers that they do to every. single. song - it's not easy unless you have 3 supremely talented musicians. Close your eyes when listening to them and it could easily pass for a 4 or 5 piece band. Add in Matt's ability to multi-task - be it running when playing a solo, singing when playing a complex riff or the array of various effects he switches between whilst singing the song - and it's astonishingly impressive. I've only seen them live once so far but was blown away, can't wait to get to another gig.

[@motherwellgirl]

Six times for me. They are amazing

[@Romulus980]

Muse live are simply inspirational; they are the new Beatles from UK (Teignmouth/ Dawlish)

Matt Bellamy is an amazingly talented individual. builds his own guitars. classically trained vocally and kills on the piano. I'm always so happy when someone finds out about Muse and appreciates them! COUNTLESS times i've answered the favorite band question with crickets. i've been lucky to have seen Muse live 6 times (once was at Lollapalooza) but every time their concert was sold out. but no one ever seems to know who they are lol. I got my bestie into them very easily though and she's my concert buddy. Enjoy!

[@tenerifecats6652]

Matthew Bellamy is a modern day virtuoso...not like a Joe Satriani or Guthrie Govan...but writes music that connects with people...he can sing, play piano (Rachmaninov influence in Butterflies and Hurricanes; Chopin in United States of Eurasia - which is a rip on the EU), compose and his guitar playing is un-freakin-real. Jamel do yourself a favor and just listen to the whole record "Origin of Symmetry". Other than one song (Feeling Good, which sticks out like a very sore thumb) the record is from another planet. Fortunately it was the record that introduced me to Muse....hearing it was like "ZANG!" A masterpiece.

There are reasons why Mattew Bellamy is one of the best Guitar Players of the World.

Lead Singer is Matt Bellamy, Bass player is Chris Wolstenholme, and Drummer is Dominic Howard (Dom). They are from the UK and formed their band when they were still in High School where a teacher would let them practice in the gym after school. If you see any of their old stuff you will notice the crazy antics Matt use to do while performing. If Matt didn't like the way the performance was going he would end up destroying poor Dominic's drums. lol Glad you like Muse, the whole concert is worth a watch. Someone has posted it here on yt.
