Dave's Reaction: Muse - Exogenesis - Parts 1, 2 and 3 

Matt Bellamy is an absolute genius

Exogenesis for me is one of the best rock orchestral story telling collections out there, absolutely love it

Matt arranged everything you hear Dave

Extraordinary really. This is a ‘rock band’ essentially. Truly masterful. Moving. Music is what feelings sound like.

One of my fav muse masterpieces

So happy that Dave finally got to experience this. If Matt Bellamy continues making music after Muse is finished, I imagine he'd make more orchestral rock like this. He's just so good at it.

"They should make a movie about this", well this song is basically the plot of Interstellar. Spreading our genome throughout the galaxy, which is a very common sci fi premise. This album was recorded Matts studio in Como, Italy. So they used a Italian composer for the strings and brass, can't remember his name. The song is described to be in Muse own version "a rock symphony in the style of Pink Floyd, Rachmanniov, Strauss and Chopin" and sure enough you can hear all influences in this piece. They have never played this song live in its entirety. But part 1 used to be a mainstay in the album tour of this album

I’ve often sat in a darkened room and listened to the Exogenesis trilogy , it definitely took me on a journey. The Resistance is a brilliant album .😀

I'm a Muse fan since this disc, Resistance. It's beautiful in so many ways. You have gained one more sub

Thanks for the reminder to buy tickets for April’s concert. Muse is my favorite thing. Not just my favorite band. I’m slightly obsessed.

Reaction to all 3 parts of the exogenesis symphony? Man it must be christmas Wait-

Goose bumps every time at the ouverture. Thank you Muse 🫠

Finally, thank you for reacting to this You've reacted to the masterpieces of The Globalist & Exogenesis Symphony AND gave the positive vibes, even praising They are truly magic & intelligent

Exogenesis trilogy from Muse is a very Masterpiece, really beautiful. Merry Christmas 🌟☃️

This is a fantastic piece of “muse”ic. Dave’s reaction to Won’t Stand Down is how I came across your channel this year so I’m very grateful for that. I appreciate all you two do to bring us entertainment. Have a great Christmas!

Can't wait to see this, I absolutely love Exogenesis! I've only heard them play part one live, I don't think they've played it all live.

Hey, Merry Xmas you two. Have a good one. :) Thanks for all the videos over the years! Stay safe and warm, and remember how many people love and appreciate all what you do.

Part III makes me weepy 💗

her voice is beautiful and enchanting

Thanks Dave! Makes my day. Best Christmas ever.... as I'm bound to the bed with an broken ankle. And Dave, why are you always in a comfy chair? I'd buy you a coffee again if you let me know.

Im intested in daves thought on this especially. For the normal drummer call outs and all..

with every video, you inch more into the muse universe. thanks for all the vids, and merry christmas!!

Love Exo. Its so diverse in each part.

Merry Christmas guys.

Thank youuuuu! Great Christmas 😬⚡

Merry Christmas to you two

Been waiting for this reaction and not been let down buddy

Merry Christmas! 🎄

Very nice. The part 1 comparison to a silent movie score was a clever (and accurate) observation. The three parts do have Quadrophenia hints, but for me it also connected with some of Emerson Lake & Palmer's Works Volume #1 stuff when I first listened to the album. Thanks for another great reaction!

Than you for posting the entire reaction ;)

Cant wait,so excited.

Happy christmas to you both

Dave's knowledge overwhelmed me.

Merry Christmas and nice reaction

Mindblowing.

The tune has been done, but there is a video for the third part that's worth seeing. It's nothing to do with the exogenesis story and looks like the animators own take on the 3rd part on it's own, but it's absolutely beautiful. The same person also did the video for Aftermath from the Drones album. Both videos are very moving. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--0gsk3AlpQU.html

After dave says "if you're above 120, you're extra special... I should know", there is a definite "f**k off" at 14:20!

best song of all time

Merry Christmas!

Go on the lyrics of a pop song and at the bottom you'll see like 6 different writers, go on the lyrics to this : Matt Bellamy

So pissed that I was not able to catch the stream, holidays and all, plus I’m in the middle of packing, we are moving on 12/26 & 12/27. This was just terrific Dave and Shecky. For sure I hear Rhapsody in Blue and some influences of ELP. I didn’t really get The Who comparison but hey, what do I know? I’ll trust Dave on that one. Thanks for doing this, a nice Christmas present. Hope you had a nice holiday guys. 🔥🎄🕎

Song "The Void" from ST album has a similar vibe to exogenesis, it's my favorite song from that album and actually helped me with mental issues during some dark times

Cristopher Nolan's Interstellar storyline seems very similar to Exogenesis trilogy's meaning/lyrics....mmm

Btw you can just call me cyrus the numbers were a password neccesity

What an overture. Btw, I wonder whats an underture is? The piano part reminded me of Ghershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Really classy bit of music. Last 6 minutes of the tune were my favorite. Here's one for Dave to check with nice vocals and crunchy guitars from the band, Talisman (featuring Jeff Scott Soto) its the tune, Mysterious ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VgIShJXiThQ.html

Watch Never Let Me Go (which features this song) and I guarantee you will cry

I hope youll check out Matts single "Tomorrow's World" that he wrote during Covid when he couldn't be with his band mates. Also check out Matt composed an Orchestral piece for the film "The International" "The International End Titles"

Great review! Don't forget this song from The Resistance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8ttu6RxqbZg.html

IQ is a moment in time. My son's is 128, mine is 126, so Matt's is 136 at least.

muse the only real prog. rock band in the world... SO thank god... for Muse... merry musemas all!

Merry Christmas! 🎄🍷
