Underrated Band.. The band with the best live performances for the last 20 years

Underrated? Don't use that word so liberally, lmfao. They're the biggest rock band of our generation with multiple platinum albums. No one hasn't heard of Muse.

@@iDrunkRS I don't know where you're from but we are not in your country my friend.. Here in Canada yes their fanbase is huge and strong and they mostly sell out the few dates they usually play here but in everyday life in the street most people of any age doesn't know about Muse. I know it because I am a Muser walking in the street of Canada (Montreal where they have the biggest fanbase in North America)

Imagine being your countries pride and joy rock band and being asked to make and perform an Olympic song. One of my favourite songs of theirs.

[@DepopsAU]

Love that, when asked by the IOC to write the official song of the London games, Muse respond by writing one of their most metal songs ever and dressing it up with a campy bow tie. Seeing Muse perform this in the Seoul Olympic stadium in 2013 might be the best concert experience of my life.

[@dirtyharry1881]

[@jodidelong3663]

It's 32 years ago today since one of the greatest rock band performers/singers of all time, Freddie Mercury, died. Watching this video, I am reminded not for the first time that Matt Bellamy is a worthy successor to Freddie in his vocal talents and his persona or personae onstage. Bravo, Muse.

[@xWillyWonkaaaa]

I was a 17 years old teenager when I witnessed this. one of the greatest performance ever !

[@dianeburgess3467]

I love this song. It has the vibe of a Gothic musical and I can just imagine Matt being on a theatrical stage, singing this with such energy and passion.

[@ElizabethMconkey]

it also has a thundering rock beat to the song as well

[@aldeayeah]

Honestly, I think it's about time that Muse fully embrace their cheesy side and write a musical/rock opera. Most of their newer albums starting with The Resistance are already halfway there!

[@dianadiaz962]

Some people are not prepared for music as exciting as Muse's, they are surely dead inside.

[@darrenng9828]

Yup and Muse still wrote a song for them 😂

[@Profiterol94]

I've watched some Olympic openings and closing ceremonies in my life, but I think I have never seen and will never see one who will get my heart more than London 2012! I mean the Queen starred in a SHORT MOVIE with Daniel Craig! And Timothy Spall as Churchill, Rowan Atkinson! And Great Britain definetely gave us the greatest music of all times, and they pulled it ALL out for the ceremonies! I remember I was a teenager and Muse have been my favorite band since I was nine years old, I've had the time of my life seeing them at the closing ceremony! Thank you London 2012 for this amazing shows, this Italian girl with a British heart will never, ever forget them!

[@xxgeorgexx4408]

Dom cracking up at Matt's flamboyant behaviour😂

[@jassie138]

Hes cracking up at Matt making it incredibly obvious they are having to playback (which is something Muse has done throughout history). Which is incidentally also why he is acting so flamboyantly. You can hear some whammy bar action in this, but Matt doesn't even have a whammy on his guitar (nor a Kaoss pad to emulate it). At 3:25 you can also hear the guitar start climbing the fretboard, whilst Matt punches his arm into the air, and then quickly adjusts to fake the guitar playing.
