Reaction: Muse : Assassin : Mayan 2015 Live (is this best Muse Live track ever?): Episode 42

[@greendayzd6728]

I only hear muse on the radio now and then so I have to say after watching their videos here that this is an excellent live band, amazing. Don't miss this band. 3 GUYS? Fantastic.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheThamesmen]

Live they are fantastic! That said I saw they have tickets for an LA show go on Sale this morning at $950 each! Too rich for my blood.

Matt Bellamy's father is George Bellamy of The Tornadoes and their hit Telstar. George was a guitarist, so you can see where Matt Bellamy got some of his influences. The interlude that they played in the middle before the final breakdown is based on Rachmaninoff's prelude in G minor, one of Matt's favorite pieces, just slowed down and played on guitar. So yeah, you guys were right that Muse gets a lot of influence in their music from classical.

[@TheThamesmen]

Brilliant...... I love info such as this!! He has classical fingers (if that makes sense) and styling!!

[@proevoisace7]

The break down in the middle is called the Grand Omega Boss, its not on the studio version but is a beast live

[@wewantthecup]

There are too many top live performances to count, but this is up there. Highly recommend checking their proshot 30 minute set from Teenage Cancer Trust gig. Peak Muse

[@TheThamesmen]

Noted and will check out!! Be well and more soon. Thanks for being here.

[@c.w_]

Incredible. The beginning sounded like 1/32nd notes. Awesome!

[@TheThamesmen]

Blindingly good track that. Need to explore some more Muse I hope

[@michaelherron7444]

There bloody awesome man, best live aswel, thts why there my fav :) great reaction man :)

[@TheThamesmen]

Thank you. We love them too. So good live

[@michaelherron7444]

@@TheThamesmen not sure if ur still doin muse, but u should check out muscle museum at shephards Bush empire 2017, crowd reaction is amazing, would love if yas did tht one :)

[@ROCKSTARR338]

Matt adjusted the pitch on his guitar

[@mikeschenk4730]

Oooh, a very early unemployed magician intro! And the unprofessionalism! Muse is not really my thing, but glad I watched. :)

[@TheThamesmen]

Omg. You’re digging deep

[@chrismartin2663]

Cheers fellas for picking up this suggestion - I'm made up that you liked it. There are a few other tracks from that gig I've seen knocking around youtube and they are all great - I was going to recommend Stockholm syndrome but just realized the full gig is there, so if you want something to pass some time rather than having to react to it or whatever, it could be worth checking out, even if as a contrast to the massive arena stuff in most other videos of them since about 2004. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed watching you watch this. Thanks.

[@TheThamesmen]

Thank you!

[@alanburns882]

Also checkout Muse Hysteria at Rokslide. There's an added bonus at the end.

[@TheThamesmen]

OMG Alan.... We are doing Muse tonight so I have gone through old comments. I followed your recommendations. Wow.... This is tonight! I will call you out for this!

[@alanburns882]

I can't wait fellas.

[@Tass...]

Do these guys not know there is a 4th unseen member?

[@TheThamesmen]

Who? Cheers Alex

[@Tass...]

@@TheThamesmen Google "Morgan Nicholls Muse" He was replaced in more recent years and the unseen member has now become more visible (although Morgan also became more prominant in his later years with the band.) But when you comment on hearing music that isn't being played by the 3. It's because the 4th member is a master of many instuments and especially the synths. All 4 were always on stage tho (from about 2005) It's just Morgan was always in the shadows.

[@alanburns882]

Check out Unsustainable by Muse at Las Vegas.

[@MkUltra75]

Clutch is great indeed

[@benjamincanales514]

This is perfectly great🗽

[@PanikinManikin]

So Matt uses a pedal board onstage, and then there is an exact replica linked to it which his guitar tech controls. The guitar tech will hit the pedals if Matt is running about the stage. Or at least that is how they did it a few tours ago. If you fancy checking out another band with some insane guitar playing wizardry, dare I say even more so than Matt (that pains me as a lifelong Muse fan), check out Polyphia. Their songs G.O.A.T, O.D & 40oz have some of the hardest guitar riffs that I think have ever been created.

[@TheThamesmen]

This is great info!!! I wondered how!! He must have a Pedal Person to go on tour!

[@gasparchan_mx]

React to Unnatural Selection Live at The Den Muse ❤️ Nice video

[@TheThamesmen]

Thanks Gasper and will check out. be well and have a fab day!

[@simply_psi]

For Chicago songs I would suggest either 25 Or 6 To 4, or Feeling Stronger Every Day they are both great songs. Good advice can't beat a bit of back door crumpet, he should supply his own butter though

[@TheThamesmen]

Good call on butter!

[@stevewood9520]

Still think invincible blackout butterflies and hurricanes wembley 2007 the best

[@TheThamesmen]

lots of calls to see this. going to happen for sure

[@fathafirmansyah1318]

Agree

[@TheThamesmen]

Just working on the edit now. Great recommendation was epic!
