Muse - Headup Riff (Rock In Rio Lisbon 2008)

[Donja1231]

OH MY GOD! I've got like 10000 Mattgasms o.0

[DoubleDz2k11]

Matt & chino -3

:L

[shatteredglassluck1]

i call plagiarism!! hahah just kidding awesome cover riff! :)

[doritos180]

It was so sick when I saw them at Reading, they played a riff from My Own Summer and Bored

[Boston19931234]

At the :43 second mark I was like: how the fuck does he do that?!?

[jdgath]

amazing

[StarWarsSuicide]

Muse fucking killed it.

[sejekio]

jajajjajaj, ke bueno , aguante deftones y muse y la musica

[OCIRELCNU]

muse, deftones and radiohead are 3 of my top 3-5 bands but its obvious that radiohead is the best

[DiabloDave363]

my band does a jam with the head up riff too XD

[0selth]

Sad thing is, 90% of the audience probably thought that Muse made the riff.

[oberfiesling]

@0selth

I didn't know this but at least I found out that Deftones do really good music

[pillarsofserpents]

@0selth - i was thinking the same thing.

[realMUSICisMUSE]

@0selth i did but i found out about deftones after watching this a few years back

[sagan1976]

@0selth I bet you're 90% wrong.

[brazilianshinoda]

fck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Chameleonizer]

Imagine if Matt started screaming the lyrics too o.O That would've been cool

[grandtheftautocj]

@Chameleonizer The problem is that he CAN'T

[BigMek206]

Great!.

[101SpottedRats]

and they didnt even tune down their guitars...

[HotFuzz456]

Love Deftones and I know Deftones made it up and so they're amazing for making up such a baddass song but the Muse riff just has a bit more ZANG.

[ALOUBIN]

@HotFuzz456 no

[hadzi666]

Muse are good, but they look funny with they dance to Deftones riff ;P

[WoahiFoundNemo]

I loved it when they performed this at Sacramento, they paid an awesome homage to Deftones at that show :]

[anormalnick]

Muse is an in credible live band..but I dont like the new studio stuff..

The new albums are in a down level..

[Vedros88]

Muse are good but Deftones are epic :)

[robslater90]

@Vedros88 No, Both bands are epic. =D

[ALOUBIN]

@robslater90 no..only deftones

[LBickford1]

Anyone calling Muse a sellout doesn't understand that Origin of Symmetry wasn't released in the US because Muse wouldn't change their sound to be more "radio friendly" and comparable to what was getting airtime during that period. Sell out, I think not.

[toxictrembler]

I find its funny when people always throw the sellout word when people start having some success. What do you expect them to do not make money and provide for their family an make a living.

Just so you can feel happy about your favorite band/group/artist never going anywhere in life??

[DeftonesCircle]

Deftones rules

[Pedspoxis]

kick ass

[TheCorsair5]

ahaha i was there!! great show

[LieutanantL]

Do do dodo dodo dodo

[PeiinNagato]

Muse are sellouts

Twilight retards

[RachaelPoole]

@PeiinNagato Who gives a shit who they've sold out to when they make good music?

[PeiinNagato]

@RachaelPoole You don't cause you are shallow

You're a spoon fed person listening to anything the ' mainstream ' gives you

The band has sold their souls for making what people like you want them to make

[RachaelPoole]

@PeiinNagato actually my parents are Muse fans and they've passed their love for them onto me. Not only that but I've been a big fan since the Showbiz days and even though I DETEST Twilight, I'm not going to hate a band just because they've contributed to a movie soundtrack.

You're obviously not a good enough fan if you have an attitude like that.

[PeiinNagato]

@RachaelPoole You're right

[Misishaxi]

@PeiinNagato They started their career by destroying equipment and pissing people off, have been banned from various shows by wrecking the set or simply screaming obscenities into the mic, and refused to release an album in the US because they would have had to tone it down, using the words "Stick it up your arse, you fat cunt" to a record exec. Twighlight? fuck, maybe they just liked the films. But Who cares if they just do what they want? as we all know, successful = evil!

Ahahahaha...

[mackensie2212]

@Misishaxi calm the fuck down!

[Xavier1320]

I like Muse.. But Stephen plays it better.

[Solidagoes]

Check out our random jam of this at the end of one of our songs not great but hay its a jam BOYS! ha

[BallsOfJericho]

Muse should cover Headup!!!! Lol

[MrHatMan94]

I LOV muse and LOVE deftones so the this is like heaven for me the 2 combined yay :)

[007palmer2]

yeah muse play song head up yeah paz

[blackjackdaniels83]

faggots

[cyyytr0n]

0:40 But why the fuck didn't they film his hands U_U ..!!

[brazilianshinoda]

i agree Jbol.... FUCK YEAH>>> THIS IS SOOOULLLFLY FROM THE DEFTONES NOW TO MUSE>.. FUCK I LOVE ROCK IN ROLL... i think this shit was thrown after Stockholme Syndrome wasnt it???

[KnightsHuSayNee]

@brazilianshinoda nah new born

[brazilianshinoda]

i agree Jbol.... FUCK YEAH>>> THIS IS SOOOULLLFLY FROM THE DEFTONES NOW TO MUSE>.. FUCK I LOVE ROCK IN ROLL

[TheTysweet4]

Okay. the only muse that ever sounded remotely like radiohead was showbiz. but only a little. both bands are great

[nel542]

I'm so sick of this radiohead and muse fight.. grow a fucking pair of balls! They're both amazing bands I grew up with and inspired me to write music. Music isn't a competition... unless your in the pop industry..

[AmuseMe543]

what song was before this?

[ZeverMusic]

@AmuseMe543

New Born

[AmuseMe543]

@ZeverMusic yesha that makes sense

[juarez122191]

i didnt know these homos could rock deftones without fucking it up...i gotta say muse has my respect

[TheTysweet4]

love the ashamed outro

[chikodeskiciado1]

kajkaja quien lo abria pensado...hjajak

[ravenIagustin]

fakes.

[SimonRivasV2]

i LOVE Radiohead & Muse. As far as the comparison goes,Muse is Radiohead with balls.Not a diss to Radiohead either.I just see Muse as the in your face bombastic version.

[jbol]

Hey, guys relax! :)

Muse is a great and so does Deftones and Radiohead

Theyre all playing different kinds of music and theyre all cool

So its kinda pointless to argue about whos best and not

Anyway, im so in love with the neotron star collision song!

Anyone with me? :D

[demonkillar]

@jbol yes i'm with u, muse an deftones are epic, dunno bout radiohead not listened to em tbh. but i agree arguing is pointless

[Sann691]

@jbol Well...I am :)

[TheDrgreenthump]

muse is a rip off of radiohead for sure

[KnightsHuSayNee]

@TheDrgreenthump Someone else mentioned this before but i will repeat it. Let's see radiohead do this riff. Furthermore, only showbiz as a whole album rele sounds anything like radiohead. Their last 4 albums all sound nothing like radiohead.

This is coming from a radiohead fan btw.

[TheDrgreenthump]

@KnightsHuSayNee yeah but thats just your opinion u dont speak for everyone (not trying to start an argument) and its my opinion that muse sucks....

[KnightsHuSayNee]

@TheDrgreenthump You never said anything about whether muse sucks or not, you just claimed that they were a radiohead rip off. Fact of the matter is Jonny Greenwood couldn't do this jam if his life depended on it.

That's not saying Radiohead is bad. I like them for completely different reasons than why I like Muse. Matt Bellamy is a far more masterful guitarist than Jonny Greenwood.

Little to none of what muse has put out since showbiz (1st album) can be described as a radiohead rip off

[TheDrgreenthump]

@KnightsHuSayNee its kinda obvious though

[KnightsHuSayNee]

@TheDrgreenthump name me a song (besides Muse's first album) or a way besides the vocals (which plenty of talented british singers sound like that) that Muse rips off radiohead

[TheDrgreenthump]

@KnightsHuSayNee their new one i hate it so much... other than that i dont know... so i guess their not a radiohead rip off but i still hate them so much still

[RLBacklund]

@TheDrgreenthump You are an absolute misinformed moron. Showbiz (1999) sounds kind of like The Bends (1995). Other than that, they are COMPLETELY different in a thousand different ways.

[TheDrgreenthump]

@RLBacklund read what said i said "i guess there not a radiohead rip-off"... but its cool that they did a cover of a way better band fucken deftones!!!!!

[UrbanMonkeyy]

did they even intentionally cover that lol

[quaademan]

You can definitely tell Dom's a Deftones fan. Looks like hes having a blast lol

[TheMaxwellFingers]

Muse have great taste.

[texican2323]

That's so awesome !!!! Muse giving props to the Deftones . The most underrated band of all time DEFTONES !!!

[ZeTwig]

LOL for people who say this is bad, and Muse are bad... Muse are one of the best bands (live & studio) in these days...Deftones are really bad live, Chino Moreno has no voice, nothing, I saw them live twice, I just wanted to get da fuck out of there, I laught when I see live videos of Feiticeira or Digital Bath..jesus, that live terror!!..(and I do like deftones, but no one can compare the two bands live)

[chinozinho]

@ZeTwig you are just plain stupid....Muse are greatness....but deftones....live....they are awsome...GOAT on stage!!!and chinos voice is amazing....one thing is not to like other is just to be ignorant and have a sad judgment on something....hope you clean your ears before the next deftones show you go to....stay cool

[ZeTwig]

@chinozinho I dont need to dude...Im not the only one with this opinion, I like Deftones, but they are not to good live..Chino has an amazing voice in the studio versions..It's very bad live, very bad, and that makes me sad, because I like the band,I saw them twice,its not a sad judgement..God, just look for videos in youtube to have a an example man..most of Deftones live videos, damn..not to good..

[KnotTime]

@ZeTwig If you look at their live vids from 97 they were good live, but Chino's voice has kinda taken a turn for the worse.

[SpeedeyFreaks]

MUSE one of the best!!!!!!!!

[horacido2]

haha Muse...I mean, they make me laugh so much that at this point I don't have bad feelings.

[bringinlexiback7]

hahaha I love Dom :D his hair is so awesome too

[ginonater]

@bringinlexiback7 hahah yeah before he started balding

[screwball82]

I don't like Muse, but this was cool. It's a shame many people's may not know the reference

[garrethdavis]

doms like ''YEAH!!!!'

[mitliko12]

DOn`t like Muse? Just go fuck yourself

[PooPoo2U]

@mitliko12: if you're a big enough prick to tell someone to fuck themselves because they have different taste in music, you can go fuck yourself as well.

[mitliko12]

@PooPoo2U I say about people who leaves comments like: they cover their mistakes with bunch of effects, they are stealers, RADIOHEAD is better. For those people I have to say to go fuck themselves, don't like muse just click X window and don't fuck our minds.

[PooPoo2U]

@mitliko12: so essentially what you're saying is that your opinion is correct and that anyone else who has a differing viewpoint can fuck themselves?

very intellectual attitude.

[mitliko12]

@PooPoo2U I just don't like when someome is fucking brain with their comments. Ok they can write that they don't like them, but everytime it becomes in a MINDFUCK.

I remember one video, it is called "Matts magic fingers" in that video Matt plays new born solo. And one dude left comment like: he is not talented... He is gay with some effects... FUCK MUSE.... That wasn't just his opinion, that was mindfuck. I think you understand what am I saying.

P.S sorry for my bad english

[PooPoo2U]

@mitliko12: best advice i could give you: don't look below the videos. if you don't see the lame comments, you don't have to worry with them. after all, the site IS for uploading videos primarily, right?

[mitliko12]

@PooPoo2U There are good comments too, and I like to read them, when I see the lame comments sometimes I don't worry about them, sometimes I give an answer.

[number1blackkid]

@mitliko12 I respect muse for their talent and because they have a (somewhat) unique sound but that doesnt mean me or anyone has to like them. Fuck you, you pretentious piece of shit.

[mitliko12]

@number1blackkid FUCK YOU! I don't mean that you must like them! I wrote that because people are writing bad stuff about them, no one said that you must like them! Damn.....

[number1blackkid]

@mitliko12 youre pretty cool...you should kiss me on my sweet lips...someday...

[mitliko12]

@number1blackkid WTF?

[number1blackkid]

@mitliko12 I think I replied to the wrong person....damn, my bad. you can still have that kiss though

[HeyBubba1992]

@mitliko12 LOL. Well played.

[EJRocky]

@mitliko12

How the hell did that get so many thumbs up? That's one of the most idiotic, elitist comments I have ever read. So if someone simply doesn't like Muse they should go fuck themselves?

Everybody has different taste in music, you fucking jackass. It doesn't make any difference to me whether or not someone likes them. If they were abusive about it, then yeah, they CAN go fuck themselves. But for simply disliking? Most immature and idiotic comment I've ever read.

[EJRocky]

Oh yeah, and I'm a giant, giant Muse fan. But I'm nice about it, I don't go about being abusive to people who simply don't like the music I do. Grow up.

[mitliko12]

@EJRocky I knew that it will get lot of thumbs off :D I know, that is idiotic comment :D That was an experiment :D

[Misishaxi]

@EJRocky Amen.

[demonbuttercupp]

@EJRocky you go girl! ;)

[Misishaxi]

@mitliko12 Arrogant, opinionated elitist? Go and fuck yourself. You're making the rest of us look like dicks over here.

[mitliko12]

@Misishaxi Chill out dude, everything is okay :D

[Misishaxi]

@mitliko12 *cuddles*

I just feel so lonely...

[HolyCity2012]

What the hell are you people argueing about in this comment section? Is that the only way youtubers know how to converse?

[killerkite333]

where's the LOGIC when you hate something but you brags about it?

geez. damn get a life. this is Muse. fuck haters.

*end*

[franz2323]

what the hell.. just enjoy the god damn music. To MUSE haters.. even if you say crappy things about MUSE on Matt's face, he wouldn't even care.. he would just laugh i think.. lol.. That's one of the reasons why we love MUSE!!!

[rhien23]

this isnt a ripoff. this is an homage. a pretty good one too, and I personally think Muse sucks.

they have emulated riffs/songs eerily similar to other bands.

search for battles 'atlas'. they somewhat ripped a quenn song too.

this headup riff is fine.

[rhien23]

This isn't a ripoff. Muse has raised eyebrows before by emulating sounds eerily similar to other artists(battles, queen etc...)

but this is fine. this is an homage. nothing wrong with layin down a deftones riff.

I saw deftones once and they played a weezer riff. no big deal.

but personally, I think Muse sucks. to each his own.

[diediedamnyou]

Hate to disappoint many in this thread, but the two bands were briefly US labelmates. They've rocked out together. Chino used to air guitar to Origin of Symmetry, when it came out in Europe.

There's serious love between the bands.

[shadowbarrowman]

This Jam is the EPIC WIN! <33

[CJTillman11]

Even if it were a direct riff from another song they would be playing it because that song or band inspired them! so all you who are hating muse because they are "stealing" from the deaftones are a bunch of hyprocritical fags. Obviously Muse played the riff because they too love the deaftones just like you! so you should be f'ing happy and love Muse even more for that!

[distyleband]

No doubt, just because Muse is more mainstream and gets more radio time people get mad because they're 'ripping' the Deftones? How about thinking that a mainstream band enjoys the Deftones enough to play a riff made by them live in front of thousands of people

[PeedgeMcDuck]

The riff after the solo is not Deftones. It's from a Muse b-side, "Ashamed".

[BaschVonRonsenburg]

The only good thing in Muse is the bass. They're not that great of a band in my opinion but the bass is pretty badass if you listen to it closely. Im not saying THEY DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO COVER DEFTONES like some shitty haters below and probably over my comment, but I just don't see how Muse and Deftones blend, I mean you got the badass hardcore Headup riff and then a shitty (in my opinion) "solo" right after. I mean, come on, give me a break

[Scott0678]

Not great of a band?

Considering the numerous awards won an nominated for?

There a different band which i love every note that Muse plays is what they created.

They've used so many outro riffs from RATM as they are an influence just like Deftones

If you dont like it dont listen to it simple

[BaschVonRonsenburg]

@Scott0678

Not great of a band in my opinion

Do you think Jonas Brothers is a good band? I don't, but they've been nominated and won tens of awards. So where's your point?

Not arguing with their style, I said that Muse dosn't blend with Deftones. They do blend a bit with RATM, that's why I ain't writting shitty comments about RATM

And I only stumbled across this while I was actually listening to 'Headup - Deftones'. Was curious to see how they covered it.

[karausu]

Linkin Park has also been nominated and won numerous awards, do you consider them a great band?

[sackvilleshredder123]

@BaschVonRonsenburg lol ur disprespecting matt bellamy trust me youve heard nothing...their songs dont call for his best playing.....oh yeah he totally rips piano rachmaninoff style and has an excpetional vocal range and songwriting ability...whats wrong with covering a riff from one of thier influences/band they like

[panoramicsyndrome]

@ad1170 oh ya

[panoramicsyndrome]

they wish they created headup this is the fuckin deftones except for the solo

[ad1170]

@panoramicsyndrome wat ther to complain about all band play otheir people rifft live they havent recorded as a cover plus it bring more plublicity to deaftones

[sackvilleshredder123]

@panoramicsyndrome CRY....its called covering and its pulled off here with extreme showmanship and skill

[antmg1092]

Muse + Deftones = EPIC

[MuseUnited]

ah i love this little jam

[chaenchaz]

deftones yeaahhh ! :P

[chepakazohl]

это просто пиздец!

[marneus90]

God damn, Muse know how to rock out. Even if it is someone else's riff. I think I'm a go look up that song now.

[deftonesssTR]

yeah do it, then listen digital bath,change,knife prty....then you ll be a deftones fan

[alessandr0mms]

3 days to SEE MUSE :D

LISBON PORTUGAL - 2009 !!!!

[fireapc]

Fucking sick I've been fan of deftones for awhile as well as muse and i've been listening to them on a non stop basis and this is just sweet to hear. I wish they would go on tour together.

[cinthya133]

10 days to see them!!!

[chrls7Cantona]

Muse should try Be quite & drive..would be awesome...Muse are a great band..

[MalouxD]

Muse play it in drop D because new born is in drop D.

[wacomwoll]

I love the fact that most of the crowd wouldn't even know who the fuck the opening song was written by :)

[ljoekelsoey4]

they played it in glasgow last night, i went insane, no1 else new it hahah. long live deftones, GET WELL CHI!

[Ehplowed777]

OMFG

SEE THEM 1ST NOVEMBEEEER

[Xs3v3n3l3v3nX]

THAT WAS AMAZING! I used to love that song and just found it again the other day, and now this! *smiley face

[MuseNINFreak]

SOUL FLY! FLY FREE!

[rigojoey1]

woaw thats pretty good...

[cydoniansheriff]

the first 10 seconds sounds like the start of seek'n'strike by soulfly. I know Deftones wrote headup BEFORE max wrote that song, but you know thats where max cos the inspiration from :)

[Patchwork13]

I wonder if they covered this cause they heard it at Pinkpop when they played because Deftones played this there.

[muzicbuff412]

Anyone that can cover Deftones and not ruin their music has my respect.

[robpiy91]

@muzicbuff412 And, has he? xD

[Drratburn]

@muzicbuff412 Agreed. Hell, they have a bit more respect from me just knowing they like them enough to cover a song that isn't CHANGE or BACK TO SCHOOL. Gotta love Around the Fur - epic album.

[JasontheChef1]

Im a deftones fan and its plenty heavy, it sounds like its not in drop C# so thats probably why it doesnt have that tone to it, but his distortion sounds good and I like the improv

[Illidan123456789]

Its in DROP D

DADGBE

[JasontheChef1]

did you read what i said?? of course its in drop D, thats the point of me saying its not in C# which is what the original song is done in

[ljoekelsoey4]

muse play it in drop D, the original song is in drop C#

[NHP890]

0:10

Matt's hair looks like it's Dom on guitar :p

Great riff. 5*

[skatesurfersnowboard]

haha muse????

[sampicko]

yes muse!

[marioman2006]

looks like their having soo much fun, especially dom lol. id love to be able to play drums like that

[HiImCaysE]

I don't care what everyone is bitching about, that was a great cover of a great riff by a great band. Deftones rocks and Muse knows it.

[redsnappa2]

lol, the drummer couldn't keep up, errr suure babe.

tis great how they take little meaty riffs and throw them into their gigs, tis the shiz . best band in the world.

[xxxStrayCatxxx]

If only you were actually the Deftones!!!!!

the riff was a lil slow too... me thinks the drummer couldnt keep up!!!

DEFTONES forever

[nightshot999]

lol dom not being able to keep up, that makes me laugh.

[KnightsHuSayNee]

@xxxStrayCatxxx Assassin by Muse, my friend... look it up

Helsinki Jam too if you still have doubts

[life700]

same key as the ashamed riff

[Meteoralogist]

I can't understand all the fucking Muse fans who go like " Yeah Muse play this riff better than the Deftones ". WTF, dude ?! I like Muse, really ,and they have a great mood here, but Muse style on this riff is NOTHING compared to Deftones heaviness. Check out early performances of Head Up, with Max Cavalera, you'll see what I mean.

[Cobhammar]

this man speaks the truth.

[SaintUdnitz]

i just checked out an early performance of head up live at bizarre festival...

1. muse is my favourite band,

2. deftones totally rock

3. this cover of the head up riff is NOT less heavy...period!

4. the deftones rock differently than muse...like the way they move on stage and stuff. but thar doesnt have anything to do with how heavy the one or the other band is...

5. overall: deftones fans should keep their feet on the ground and so should other muse fans... this is a great cover...

[SaintUdnitz]

6. whoever said dominic howard couldnt keep up:

BAHAHAHAAAHAHHHAHHAHAHAHAHA...

yeah, right, dude!

[Meteoralogist]

Bizarre Festival is not the best example. Take the live at Nulle Part Ailleurs.

[SaintUdnitz]

it IS a very good example...cause its an awesome performance...they rock real hard and i doubt that the guitarsound is a heavier one at nulle part ailleurs...

cause that was the whole point...speed and heavyness...

[Meteoralogist]

Fuck no. The mood is way more hardcore when they keep the original low beat, way more mood and heaviness. Just check it out, and if you don't think it's heavier at nulle part ailleurs, then we don't have the same definition of heaviness.

[SaintUdnitz]

dude, we talk about different things...I just dont give that much of a fuck about the deftones, i respect them though...im just talking about this cover and why it is not bad at all...

...these people are freakin me out comparing the band muse to the band deftones just because of a fuckin riff cover...

[Meteoralogist]

So if you don't give that much ok a fuck about the deftones, don't even talk about one of their live performances. And I never said this cover sucked, I'm just pissed off about the muse fans who say this one is better than the original, that's all. Muse rocks, period.

[SaintUdnitz]

im only talking about the deftones because muse is my favourite band and appearently they are covering them right here...i agree that this is not better than the original...how could it? and i never meant you when i said that people piss my off saying this cover totally sucks because its not that heavy...

deftones and muse are just not compareable...its like saying michael buble swings better than muse when he does "feeling good"...like wtf?? maybe, but who gives a shit?

[SilenTSicK]

wow. muse play a deftones riff. great:)

[SekaisEmbrace]

Tuned too high.
