Saw Muse touring Showbiz when they opened for Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chili Peppers. My bandmates didn't believe me when I said they would be huge; Bellamy's voice and stage presence were undeniably massive. Met them afterward and Matt was drinking a giant glass of red wine and signing posters with 2 and 3 Sharpies at a time - mine is framed and hanging at a friend's house to this day.

Another ingredient to their success is their electric live performances. They have done a good job of going over the top with their production, but never having it overshadow the actual performance. They also bring it live. Muse can be polarizing, but I’ve never talked to anyone who has seen them live that hasn’t been blown away, regardless of how much they like the actual songs.

Exactly, but the setlist would have to be totally different for each of them. Muse could easily create a 2hrs set for each. And for alt rock festival as well. And maybe an 1hr set for a classical music fest... and a 30 mins set for Tomorrowland :D The problem is they're so diverse that it's eventually becoming their weakness. During their regular gig every single song is from a totally different world. It makes the audience being diverse as well: 10% of the people waiting for Undisclosed Desires and Madness, 5% for Dead Star and Kill Or Be Killed, others demanding Exogenesis and Piano Thing, and even others wanting Take A Bow and Unsustainable... There's no single song during their gig that could make ALL OF THE FANS fully bang to it. Each track triggers only a small group of their fanbase at a time. DEAR MUSE - Consider making single-genre gigs! :D (I'd attend each one of them: Muse-metal, Muse-rock, Muse-pop, Muse-electronica, Muse-classical)

Matt Bellamy is unbelievable as both a vocalist and a guitarist. I was completely floored when i first heard his voice, stating to my bf that "his voice sounds like a whammy bar!". It is extraordinary. While the music is not the same, i am reminded of Dan Smith of Bastille at certain parts, but when Dan was a solo artist. There are vocal gymnastics going on here that baffle the mind. (With both). But no one does it like Muse. They are phenomenal and i appreciate you taking the time to give them their due credit ❤

I think the “template” for a band like muse was actually done years earlier with queen. They wrote straight ahead rock songs, rock operas, pop songs, and some genuinely heavy metal and progressive elements throughout their catalog, and somehow managed to dominate the world on the strength of Freddie’s vocals and songwriting. And I really think you can hear the Queen influence throughout a lot of muse’s discography

Their first 4-5 albums (i.e the ones that got them big) are basically Radiohead with riffs. Nothing wrong with that at all but no doubt Radiohead is the foundation of their sound. Loads of British bands were ripping off Radiohead back then while adding their own twist - Muse, Coldplay, Snow Patrol.

Muse always reminds me of a modern version of pre Wayne's World, Freddie Mercury Queen- bold, experimental, top notch production and live performance, and mega rock gods.... except in the US. And just like Queen, if asked average person to name Muse song, they probably couldn't outside a few of them. But play a Muse song and the average person would say they like that song, and then have to Spotify it to see who it is and what it's called.

I think what Muse did that most experimental/progressive bands didn’t do is they never over experimented and they didn’t sacrifice their songwriting in favor of the experimentation/progressiveness. While I do think some of their songs are a bit “underdone,” they are great songwriters overall which really helps them. And they knew their limits for experimenting, as you pointed out when talking about Black Holes and Revelations. It also helps that their live performances and live shows are amazing. They know how to put on a show in conjunction with being tight musicians.

I think one of the things that made them break into the mainstream was their work ethic. They said "yes" to every little show they could between Showbiz and Origins, didn't matter where they were playing. You can catch a glimpse of this in the Hullabaloo Dvd when a reporter asked them, "don't you think you played, like, 100 shows too many this year?" because they were everywhere. Absolute beasts on stage. Found Showbiz in 1999 when it came out and got hooked. I must confess that after Absolution I began to find their music a bit bloated though.

Muse was my #1 favorite band of the 2000’s, so I’m pleasantly surprised to see their retrospective featured on this channel. They were never part of any ‘scene’, and I think that contributed to their longevity in the sense that they never had to deal with collateral damage from backlash directed at entire subgenres, to the extent that every nu metal, pop punk, and 3rd gen. emo band experienced when those trends became ‘uncool’. In my opinion Muse got better with each of their first four albums, which is pretty remarkable considering how good their first one actually was.

They're music to me feels fitting for an epic sci-fi movie soundtrack. Along with Radiohead, I feel they are masters at making iconic singles alongside stand-out deep cuts.

Nice to see a Muse video without one mention of the Plug In Baby riff, but also...that is a huge reason they blew up :D

Even Dream Theater was more than just a tiny bit Muse inspired on Octavarium. Muse simple is a great band and it is always a blast when they release something new. You will never know what you get from them, but it is always quality

I only found out what Dream Theater were because I’d become obsessed with Muse and started looking for ‘bands that sound like Muse’. Dream Theater came up a lot and so I listened to Octavarium and liked it, and was blown away by the title track. Still could take or leave most of their stuff, but Images and Words I’ve found to be one of my favourite albums now. No way I would’ve thought to give that type of music a chance if I hadn’t got into Muse.

When I first saw and heard the “Muscle Museum” music video on Fuse as a teen, I was hooked. Dove deeper into them with each album and fell in love. It was really the dubstep album that soured me on them and haven’t loved much output since. See them live every few years though and they still kill it.

I was a full on metalhead but when I saw MUSE live at rock am ring 2007 (or 6...dunno anymore) (i just wanted to hear Knights of Cydonia, but bc they started their set with it i decided to stick around longer) it expanded my taste in music

When I started listening to Muse the "suggested listening" suggestions on streaming became amazingly diverse. Muse has opened my ears to music that i normally wouldn't listen to but very happy I did.

i think MUSE's lasting impact was being another outlet for listeners who didn't listen to numetal but were dipping their toes into heavy music. most of my friends who grew up listening to MUSE first started listening to heavy music after becoming lifetime Musers.

also... they are a huge influence in new bands like "The Warning" who grew up as little girls listening to them and covering their music and now have gotten to open and tour with them. it would be great if you could do a follow up on Muse's influence in new music!

Muse actually was headlining at a festival in Mexico and met THE WARNING, was so impressed with them they invited them to lunch under their shade canopy. They could see how the sisters loved each other and were very close ,a lot like MUSE is like brothers always sticking together through everything. Matt asked the sister that plays guitar what her favorite color was, she said yellow- banana yellow. Later on that day Matt gave her a custom banana yellow Manson guitar, as well as an invitation to their next concert venue in London. They went and it launched their careers outside of Mexico.

You mentioned MUSE was very adept at music theory, and they may well be. However they all dropped out of college after 6 moths to pursue music as a band. Also heard them asked in an interview if they could read music, each of the admitted they couldn’t. Don’t know if they ever learned or are still playing by ear, but Matt Bellamy is a genius, as i think each band member is in their own element.
