  • Doesn't the way he says "I want it now" in the first chorus make you shiver?

  • ok to settle this thing down flea is a better bassist not because of slap but for all his job since blood sugar sex and magic because he plays more straight bass than slap and chris is awesome but flea is in the top 10 chris is maybe a top 30

    1. Victor Wooten

    2. Flea

    3. John Entwistle

    4. Marcus Miller

  • @crazychic75 There's so many people you can put in top 5. That's just my opinion

  • @luvcelio i agree with you that that was the birth of some good music, but that eras over dude you have to respect that bands like muse exist. Dont downplay them there fucking sick

  • as much as i love chris's jazz bass sound, for songs like this with lots of fuzz, he should use these bass's again (Y)

  • agreed!

  • @projekt92 i agree there so smart!

  • AWESOME SOUND! Muse is so fucking amazing live!!! But the cameraguys.... Jesus Christ, fucking horrible to watch. MUSE FTW!!!

  • muse is headliner on the next rock am ring festival in germany

  • the bass line is fucking amazing!

  • @Shavarast80 NO SHIT!!!!!

  • lol the cymbals in the chorus sounds really poor.

  • What do you mean play back?

    It is live.

    The start Matt doesn't need to play, as Chris is playing the bass riff which is all there is at the start

  • @FreidrichIII u sound poor

  • pause 1:18 - give me your heart and your soul

    matt looks like a grim reaper.. cool and creepy.. XDD

  • shit doms eyes and pupils are huge :X

  • I've noticed that the earlier performances of Hysteria are the best ones of them all - they have the most energy, plus they are the only ones which utilise vocals effects on Matt's voice. From 2004 onwards, I dunno. Hysteria doesn't sound as mean as this one anymore, or the Supersonic Live in Milan performance. Even SMBH was only really good during the very beginning of 2006. From then on it sounded kinda - well - shit. I just find it interesting, thats all. Muse are still the greatest!

  • check out v2008 chelmsford its the nuts!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sorry dude - the V festival Hysteria doesn't really do it for me. Like I said, I think Hysteria was only really good at certain performances during the Absolution-era. I do reckon the Shepherd's Bush Empire performance was really good though!

  • Check out the pentaport version, best one ive ever seen!

  • Yeah, it was alright. Still, I think the Brit Awards one is the best.

  • Hysteria the best song i ever hear

  • what's up with the audience??? If i heard that beginning bassline of hysteria, i would be screaming and jumping

  • There isn't an audience

  • 0:43... Dom's pupil is huge...

  • You noticed that too?! Its almost scary lol

  • Holy crap.

  • holy crap he looks like a demon!

  • I'm sorry, did you mean beast? ;)

  • he looks a bit like billy idol too lol

    and ya thats freaky.... pobly the lights...

  • why don't you go talk about these dumb ass metal guitarists on videos that actually have them in, instead of clogging up the message board of a band that deserves decent comments, not the shit your posting ?!

  • love this song! love muse!

  • how about muse is just awesome? that pretty much clears everything.

  • if you like catchy riffs ,electro synth sounds ,vocoders,distorted bass, techno space solo's,and muse ,rage and pendulum

    then please check us out

    we believe we have all of these

    if not we have more songs to come

    thanks

  • Subscribe to them ^^^^^^^^^^ i did

  • muse arent death metal

  • 0:08 - 0:19 = the best sound ever produced by a bass guitar.

  • but its true... dumb schitt

  • Damn this discussion is quite useless!

    muse is the best rockband. clear.

  • amen!

  • amen!

  • @S0rb0 yes muse is the best and And green day 2 !!! xD

  • @S0rb0 stop saying that kind of shit, listent to real rock from 60's et 70's, much better, better singer, better guitarist, drummer...the spirit of rock in a word

  • @luvcelio you have no idea of what you're talking about ^^

  • @luvcelio Give us some names. I admit the drummer is not the best, but not many "Rock" drummers are. Name a better singer and bassist, and I'll give you a cookie.

  • @flamethrower424 John emtwistle was a better bassist, Flea is a better bassist. Just saying, do love Muse

  • @Spear810

    chris is a better bassist dude...

  • @Spear810 sorry copletely disagree about flea imo he and the chilis are way too overated plus too many people to my mind claim to be fans of them just to be hip if i was a rhcp that would seriously piss me off but thats just my opinion

  • @flamethrower424 what the hell is wrong with the drummer? his timing is impeccable and his beats creative. so he's not playing like dana carey from tool. it's not that kind of music. it requires a more poppy, almost techno beat. the appropriateness of his beat is what makes you bob your head up and down to this song

  • @flamethrower424  What are you on about?!? he is a great drummer, oh and btw he has a name, its Dom Howard-remember it.

  • what the f$"ck! this song never sounded so f#$ng amazing! love the bass.

  • chris played the bass so loud that i cant hear matt playing the guitar... :(

  • Yeah you can always rely on MTV to fuck up the mix.

  • this song is a BITCH to play.

    but i can do it.

    nobody can compare to Matthew though.

  • It's a simple song on all three intrsuments. But it sounds great so who cares.

  • Alright big guy, put a youtube vid of yourself playing the bass then. Since it's simple, you should be able to play it just as good as Chris can. Let's see, I'll be waiting.

  • i didnt find his comment that negative. some songs just sound a lot harder than they are...

  • It's true. But playing it is one thing. Playing it like they do live is a totally different thing.

  • True, but I didnt see him comparing himself to them. You're kinda puting words in his mouth, don't you think?

  • He claims its so easy to play so lets see. compared to other bands in the mainstream today this shit is as hard as it gets. comparative

  • I agree that it's difficult but I just think you took his comment a little too stongly, ya know

  • Yeah, I probably did. It's not that he's saying stupid crap, just use to death metal tards posting on Muse videos saying what they do is complete shit compared to their music. But really, Muse, no matter how deep the complexity is, are great... and have far more talent than a lot of death metal bands out there.

  • very true.

  • get your fucking death metal and shove it up my arse

  • ...alrighty then. I dunno where that came from buttt... whatever.

  • I like muse but i disagree with that. Muse are really cool but there is no need to insult another genre of music you do not understand. Death metal whilst usualy filled with retarded lyrics is actually incredibly complex, lots of jazz influence and classical going on, crazy time signatures and exotic scales. Of course there are bad ones but its ignorant to dismiss an entire genre you dont get as having far less talent than muse. Playing death metal requires far far more talent.

  • writting catchy groovy tunes like muse do requires huge amounts of talent too, but a different kind of talent. Instrumentaly all those dudes would destroy muse, but they could not write tunes as infectious as this, its just entirely different, you cannot really compare the two and say one requires far less talent. I think muse are the best mainstream rock band of the past few decades, but I also dig death metal and other stuff too.

  • Wow. So hitting more notes automatically means it's more talent right? You're making no sense. You're saying that Muse write unique tunes, groovy, whatever you said, which they can't. Yet, they have more talent instrumentally? That makes no damn sense.

    Hitting more notes in the same sequence I've heard 1000x before doesn't sound like "far far more talent" than anyone.

    Muse aren't the best, but some stupid metal band who just randomly hit notes aren't more talented. Sorry, just doesn't work.

  • many people as possible with lots of explosions and goodies saving the world from baddies to something like Buffalo 66 which is far more subtle and is not really made to grab the mainstream light. That is not for a second to say muse are a bad band though, as i said before I think they are a rare diamond, they are made for the mainstream and simplistic, but they successfully manage to mix in several styles very well so their tunes are more interesting than usual radio rock.

  • Check out Paul masvidal of Cynic too, so much more than just random notes, to dismiss it as such is just plain incorrect. Anyways, fun discussion, I do really like muse alot, and admit my original comment was phrased poorly, as was this i think,its annoying when youtube forces you to split up the comments!

  • Haha, wow a lot of comments indeed. I'm not saying Matt Bellamy owns everyone, of course there are people better than him in every category technically speaking, but everything is subjective.

    The only comment I would say of yours was wrong, was that Matt couldn't do anything they can. Matt can play very fast and very technical if he wanted to, he just never incorporates it into MP3s, lives is another story.

    Muse and death metal bands look for different things, they both have different

  • And quit this bullshit "you can't compare the two really"... what the hell did you just do?

    Personally, metal bands who just play trashy shit and hit lots of notes, that requires FAR, FAR less talent than I think any band that actually contains MELODY.

  • No but being able to play 15 notes a second when necessary does take talent. Most death metal guys could play every muse song easily no problem at all, but Matt could certainly not play any of their stuff. None of the bands i am thinking of just 'randomly hit more notes'. Beethoven has licks that are lightening fast but that does not make his music crap or devoid of melody. The kind of person who has bothered to practice upwards of 10 hours a day to get that skill is unlikely to be satisfied

  • with just hitting random notes. They are usualy the people who have been classically trained (or taught themselves) in music theory. They do not write catchy tunes like muse do because to be catchy something needs to be very simplistic, which for musicians as technically able as they are is very very dull. Alot of it i guess is made for other musicians, but that does not make it bad music, just complex. Like comparing a block buster action movie which is meant to be simple and to appeal to as

  • check out some guitarists like Mohammed Suicimez and Chuck Shuldiner, their leads are certainly not just random.They use unusual scales, have a clear jazz and classical influence as well as metal, have fantastic melody and phrasing. If either one of them were placed in a room with Matt and played together for sure they would be the most impressive, but at the end of the day, Matt writes great simple groovy rock tunes.They write great techy,interesting,jazzy metal tunes(albeit with crap lyrics!)

  • expectations. So I don't agree that just because they are death metal, means they are talented. That's up to the person alone. Playing a lot of notes can be talent yes, if you use it in such a great way.

    I'm pretty sure Matt figured out that what he wanted to accomplish with music didn't require too many notes. So they differ. I don't think that that means death metal people have more talent at all.

  • holy shit! that was amazing at the start 0:O9.

  • what distortion hace chris in the bass??

  • He has a Fuzz pedal connected to his bass.

    (or from other sources i heard, he has distortion to a big muff pedal. not entirely sure bout this one.)

  • musewiki(dot)org/Bass#Absoluti­on

    This should answer any questions you have regarding gear.

  • im pretty sure its a Big Muff connected to a BOSS Bass Overdrive on this song...im pretty sure that he does throw in at least one more pedal in this song though...not sure :/

  • This song makes my heart drop at the bass till its orgasmic.

    1 MUSE song=1 Album from another band

  • imagine the unplugged version! is there one? i think i made the only one that's like that ;)

    *hint hint*

    ;)

  • muse and radio are both amazing in their own right, theres no better band out of the two, so stop arguing.. its a matter of preferance..

  • htf can someone compare Radiohead to Muse. lol Muse pwns Radiohead any day

  • Only an idiot says that Radiohead its better than Muse, Radiohead had good songs and its a great group, but muse kick ass!!!

    Muse Rocks!!

  • hoping to see them live one day! fingers crossed

  • the bass is fucking boss in this version

  • muse!!

    the best!!

    <33333333333333333333

  • cant hear the epicness of the open highhats on the drum part. whatashame

  • u can cant u, which part

  • Like no other... definitly, MUSE is the best band of the world!!!!!

  • i just noticed muse has like a radiohead dream theatre franz ferdinand kinda sound but muse kicks all there asses:)

  • Muse is an amalgamation of a number of great acts.... but then, so are each of the great acts. So let's not compare, and simply enjoy!!

  • ya.. they're WAAAAAAAAY better

  • PFFFTTTT MUSE OOWWNNNS radiohead radiohead has one good song thats nothing compared to muse... muse songs dominate it

  • Radiohead has one good song? What? Which one would that be? Look, if you are really into MUSIC...listen to Radiohead. They will blow your mind.

  • don't be an asshole. readiohead has reinvented music several times, just like muse did. this are 2 of my favorite bands, and probably the most talented group of musicians in our generation.

  • You can't compare Muse to anyone, because Muse would always win.

  • muse are the most talented influential band britain has produced for a long time. THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

  • No Muse ---> No Rock !

  • damn, how do they come up with these riffs.

    Especially the bass.

    Amazing, and best of all, THEY'RE ENGLISH!!!

    Get in there!!

  • i can too, actually.

  • cool

  • Muse is 1000000 times better than falloutboys..

  • Man, you are a disgrace to Muse. How dare you even put Fall out Boy and Muse in the same sentence? Muse is god like

  • hahahaha fall out boy...what a joke. MUSE is that sh1t

  • Yeah man :P how can you even think about comparing fall out boy with muse??? by the way muse is 1000 times better

  • Comparing Muse to Fall Out Boy is like comparing a shark to a duck.

  • More like comparing a white-coat-wearing-shark who can play the guitar and piano with kickass falsetto's to a duck!

    lol I don't know where I'm going with this

  • a for effort

  • Muse is by far one of the best alt rock bands out there.

    Very few bands are as skilled as they are, and able to produce a great concert no less.

    And they really deliver...

    I mean, Fall Out Boy gives a great concert but doesn't perform well if you get what I mean. Muse does.

  • To me, Muse sound better live than they do in the Studio. That's a rare thing with bands and artists these days.

  • are you comparing MUSE to fall out boy?

    there is no competition

  • i heard from one of my friends that fall out boy sucks live

  • they suck wherever they are

  • just like your mom!!!!!!!!

  • hahahhahahahahah

  • I cant believe that was said! Fall out boy give a shit concert, youre not comparing muse to fall out boy i hope, thats like putting a mouse up against a lion in a cage match, when the lion can shred on the guitar and play piano like nobody else..and the mouse can just eat cheese..i forget what i was gonna say but..yeah.. muse are the best

  • wooo

    they're great!!

    on livee!!!

  • its not the same its better

  • i agree

  • awesome i like the fact that their live performance is exactly the same as the studio version. not alot of bands can do that

  • this has to be the best song muse have done so far

  • if muse, modest mouse, and radiohead were to go on tour together I would quit my job(if I had one) and divorce my wife(if I had one) and follow them till I ran out of cash

  • Just muse for me, the named others suck :P

  • SO FUCKING GREAT :D!!!

    yeahhh

  • superb!

  • the baseline!!! check the baseline!!!

  • Spelling!!! Check the spelling!!!

  • Hahahaha, hmm, what country was this broadcasted in? I believe there's a different MTV station for each country? Supposedly this wasn't broadcasted in the U.S. ...

  • i have mtv2 on my cable in the uk! NEVER seen this before! but i will be seeing them open the the new fantastic wembley!

  • I guess MTV2 is only on cable in the UK? In Belgium we're stuck with MTV Netherlands, you can't imagine what crap we get to see nowadays... Defnitely no Muse :-))) (no music in general actually)

  • lol, sarcy people are so mean..oor is it sarky??!

  • Great, wonderful, excelent, it´s a good video the author desert an award its really awesome.
