Rappers React To Muse "Stockholm Syndrome"!!!

[@vynl007]

Matt Bellamy has the world record for most guitars smashed on stage. It's a tradition he likes to keep alive! All guitars broken are either repaired or donated to charity to raise money :)

[@Bookaholic23]

He might try to play on the most continents like Def Leppard. I fucking love both bands. J/K Both great live. Can I have them together? Asking as a Midwesterner who has seen them both once.

[@davidstanton4716]

Their transitions are absolutely flawless. For a 3 piece they get such a powerful sound too.

[@chunderbill]

There's four of them live.

[@brendanmoraless8137]

Yes, there's four guys

[@soniaferreira2811]

The band is composed of 3 members. The other guy only plays in some of the live shows.

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

Muse does small shows too, but they still make it a big deal. I went to see them in Quebec City, Canada at a smaller venue but they still put on the best live show I've ever seen. It was truly an experience to see and hear these guys play.

[@marc-olivierbedard3989]

Small venue in Québec? Where was it? Centre Vidéotron?

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

@@marc-olivierbedard3989 It was Colisee Pepsi, which isn't tiny, but it is small relative to the big shows the boys have reacted to.

[@wtglb]

Absolutely love Muse! I would say it’s safe to say Bellamy is a musical genius.

[@jhamilton1007]

He's like if Jack White and the singer of Radiohead had a baby and is on steroids.

[@Heightsomethinghuman]

Genius without a doubt!

[@museborn7703]

There is no higher Musical fix for me than Muse. This drug never loses its potency!

[@greggriffiths909]

So went to see Muse for the 1st time on the last night of their tour on Oct 2, they were on fire!! Matt smashed 2 guitars during the night, a girl at the front who was at her 225th gig got one of the smashed guitars and Matt also gave her a working one, and yes you guys MUST MUST MUST go and see Muse live, they are phenomenal

[@plexus]

At this point, Muse is always the headliner. Giant arena shows are great, but I'd personally prefer a much more intimate setting like this. One of the best shows I've seen was Muse at a theater.

[@doggo9388]

Muse hold the record for most smashed guitars on tour, which they accomplished in their 2004 absolution tour by smashing 140 guitars!

[@Heightsomethinghuman]

Matt owns controlling interest in Manson guitars & contributes a lot of innovative ideas in their design. Also had them design guitars that break at the neck, so when he breaks one, just replace the neck that’s it!

[@willgilbert87]

Hands down the best band I've seen live. I saw them when they were touring for their album "The 2nd Law" and it was amazing. No drop in energy, sound was like on the CD, everything was just perfect. I would love to see them again.

[@plexus]

FYI, after about the 5 minute mark (where the ad came in on the dot actually) isn't the actual song or on the album. Those are just bonus fun, heavy riffs for the live show. Also, "the guy back there" is just a touring musician to take on some key parts and other stuff that Matt can't perform live cause he's busy playing guitar. (in this song, his main role is clearly the arpeggiated keys during the part you called "operatic") Lots of bands do it... he's not in the band, but he's part of the touring line-up.

Yes breaking guitars is sort of a tradition. Saw them in Manchester a few days ago and he broke 3. One of the best concerts I've been to.🔥

[@metalguru85]

Muse don't have a genre. They change their style each album. The last one was very synth driven and their new stuff is practically metal. They get such a big sound considering there is only 3 members but they're all amazing musicians.

[@rajnafilipovic3137]

Unique and beautiful ❤️🤘

[@vattmann1387]

They are the closest to a modern version of Queen with how much they play and experiment with their sound :D

[@mookiestewart3776]

Did they actually go back to the metal sound?? I’ve been waiting for years. It wasn’t just their last one that was mostly synth that’s why I stopped listening back in 2012 too much synth

[@vattmann1387]

@@mookiestewart3776 I enjoy it. But it isn't quite the same as Origin of Symmetry levels. They have counterbalanced it by adding in all sorts of fun stuff though

[@dvdkllmn]

Muse are so diverse and have a bunch of electronic songs aswell. I'm a metalhead but my favorite Muse song is Dead Inside, which is like 70% electronic and switches over to a more rock-like sound towards the end before closing it out with the electronic sound again. Amazing song and beautiful music video. MUSE - DEAD INSIDE

[@PeglegSailor]

Love that song. Love everything Muse does and continues to do with every new album.

[@trentimus2472]

If you're a metalhead, I think you'd really like some songs from their Will of the People album. Kill or Be Killed is really heavy, which is awesome. Won't Stand Down also has good heaviness. Dead Inside is such a good song as well, I love listening to it. The emotion is so real in that song

[@dvdkllmn]

[@MrBurnsy81]

I reckon you'd love one of the performances from their Hullabaloo show that was filmed for DVD (and I guess VHS still hah) after their second album. It was a go-to for me to hype myself up for the live shows I saw them between 2004-2010 (they never came back to NZ since then though... 'tear) - youthful exuberance and high energy and a wall of sound for their heavy songs! Recommended Citizen Erased, Dead Star, Muscle Museum or Micro Cuts for the intensely high falsetto!

[@nighpaw4651]

matt has his guitars built so that if they break the neck breaks and can be replaced easily, he said in an interview the issue was getting someone who enjoyed putting them back together, he also has a ton of guitars and I'm pretty sure he has one guitar for each song on the set plus some backups, usually each song requires different guitars, some need a whammy bar, some need a sustaniac, some need a fuzz factory (yes he has guitars with a built in fuzz factory and with sustainers), some need 7 strings some need a literal midi pad built into the guitar which lets him control midi pedals with his guitar, so usually he can't properly play most songs in the set with just one guitar

[@_hardcore_6863]

So, to go deep into MUSE you need to watch: 1 - Darkshines, Hullabaloo live version 2 - Microcuts, Hullabaloo live version 3 - Space dementia, Pinkpop live 5 - Stockholm syndrome, Wembley live (Glastonbury is also GOAT) 6 - Knights of Cydonia, Rome live 7 - Reapers, Mayan live 8 - Unintended, Wembley live 9 - Hysteria, live or studio 10 - Uprising, live or studio 11 - Supermasive black hole, live or studio 12 - Algorithm, live show 13 - City of Delusion, live or studio 14 - New Born, Wembley live 15 - Butterflies and Hurricanes, Wembley live 16 - Unnatural selection, live or studio 17 - Map of the problematique, Wembley live 18 - Muscle Museum, live or studio 19 - Exogenesis Symphonie (real symphonie in 3 parts) 20 - Citizen erased, Reading live 21 - Showbiz, live or studio 22 - Assasin, Mayan live 23 - Muscle Museum, live or studio ......... There are ton's of great music from this band. For 7 years I still haven't heard even a half of their's discography.

I haven't listened to muse in awhile so thank you for this reminder :D

[@Kwhansen52]

One of the best lives shows you can ever see. I saw them at burgettstown, PA at an outdoor amphitheater and it was an insane show

Like others mentioned, Matt Bellamy has the record for most smashed guitars during a tour. However, he has explained several times that his guitars are pretty sturdy, and rarely break irreparably. Most of the time, it's just the neck of the guitar that snaps, so it's pretty easy to have them repaired, and he can keep using them for a long time. So, there's no need to feel too bad about the broken guitars.

[@carrieallen4432]

I've been to 10 Muse concerts and yes they are are amazing as you think the are. The fans, the vibe, the skills, the performance and production. Go if you can. You'll nerve regret it. Morgan Nicholls (born 18 March 1971) is an English musician, member of English pop band Senseless Things and best known for performing with Muse, Gorillaz, etc

Do "Exo-politics" at some point from them, it's a top 5 song from them, at least for me.

[@Only1janetc]

I've loved Muse for a long time. They are the best band to see live. Even my kids gave come to love them over time.

[@json_bourne3812]

This is the kind of song where, when listening to their albums, you're like "yeah I like this, it might be in my top 5 or 10 or something" - but the moment you get to see this and experience this at a live show, it immediately shoots to the top. To be fair, that's most of their songs 😉

I love Muse, and have seen them live in Houston about 5 times. The first time, they were the opening act for U2 in Reliant Center ( stadium for the Texans). The other shows were at the Rockets arena. I know they also do even smaller venues if the cause is right, but that’s usually in Europe. I can’t wait to see when they will come again for their newest album

Guy has literally the world record for most guitars broken during a tour (over a hundred). But they've worked directly with the brand that makes them and most of them end up being fixed.
