He stays flexing lol always been his thing. His two biggest influences are Hendrix and prince and if you know guitar you know how crazy those two were lmao
How, as a front man, does he not burst into tears every time he has 20k odd people singing his lyrics back to him? I remember the first time, as just a drummer, I played in front of around 500 people as a support act for TBDM I got emotional just seeing the crowd enjoy themselves. Let alone a whole stadium, there to see you specifically, all feeling the moment you've created in complete unison. I don't think I'd be able to hold it together lol.
I wouldn't be able to man, I would make it part of the performance. This may just be a me thing due to autism, but as a musician, I am a very charismatic, but very emotional performer. The most people I have ever played to is probably only like 50-80 in college jazz performances, a few hundred when I marched at big football games, but I know I have had to fight tears at times during performances, hell I have to fight tears just watching this live muse performance, feeling the energy from that many people, even from a video from 9 years ago, is just overwhelming to me. Not in a bad way either, if I was in Matt's shoes with that type of consistent crowd, I would be letting tears go on stage all the time, simply because I envelope myself with the energy and feel of music, those high notes especially man, they take me places.
@@upsidedownpyramid7617totally relate to this!! back when i was just 11 years old playing with a really good school band, everyone would have a perfectly straight face, but i was always cracking a smile, like “shit this sounds cool”. sometimes i’ll just be singing and see my friends up the back of the hall waving along and i have to try not to burst into tears
As a longtime musician whom has performed live & in studio, has to admire Matt, that he can play keys, guitar, sing and bass ( in his side bands) at a professional level is amazing... Excellent front man.... One of the best "live" shows ever and I've seen hundreds... Take care... 🔥🎸🔥
Matt has no limits to his talent he is also able to play church organ as well like in the song 'Megalomania' in Royal albert hall, a pure insane falsetto in this song also
yep....its not technically hard to play, its just very well written. I consider it one of the greatest guitar riffs because it is instantly recognizable and that is what makes an exception guitar riff. When I say "not technically hard" what I mean is it isn't as hard to learn as something like the arpeggio section of Serrana by Jason Becker or something like that. I would say easily that a lot of guitarist that are famous probably wishes they had made that riff up. Its a perfect intro to a song that Muse used very well.
As a guitar player myself, the way Matt plays is so rare... Almost like Jimi Hendrix, or Kurt Cobain she becomes an extension of him rather than just a tool to use. I could listen to him sing the phonebook. The man is pure talent.
yup, most likely you've heard of them via Uprising, which is probably their most played song ever. Or Starlight because of the Twilight Movie. (Basically the only thing good about the movie series, was that Meyer actually had a decent taste in music, with muse being at the top of her list.)
Matt was never or he never intended on being a vocalist. He replaced their guitarist at the time as he said he was better, and eventually he is. This video makes me me the gigs so much!
Seen them twice, one in Manchester and once in my home town this year, and I'm seeing for a 2nd time this year! I'm also seeing Rick Astley in a few months
2:57 "When I was playing Rock Band and there were so many Muse songs in there" Only Hysteria ever released on Rock Band, you might be thinking of Guitar Hero which got a handful of songs...lol Rock Band always had the meme of MOAR MUSE when they asked which band people wanted more songs from.
Shame that the vocal coach couldn't find a better version of Plug in Baby. It's one of muses worst performances of that song live. Would love to see micro cuts studio version reacted too.
@@josephprice1210 because there are better perfomaces out there. And I hold Bellamy and Muse to the high standards they set themselves. Didn't say it was a bad performance. But compared to others, this one is one of the worst.
I can't believe some of your viewers could react negatively to Muse. Vocally it's amazing and the music is too. Only someone that doesn't understand music could not see the immense talent.
