uhh @ynkjeter that is wrong because he did the harmonic on accident and it sounded really good with the rest of the solo. watch any live performance there is no harmonic there. it was on accident and he is laughing because of how good it sounded. Thumbs up if your a muse fan and you've seen them play this live and know what im talking about
@nabaseball4 You're correct in the sense of he did it by accident and thought it sounded better. He was probably laughing at how cheesy it sounded though, how very "80's" it was. Also, don't ask for thumbs up like that - it makes you look like a pretentious fool.
It's the fast run which is almost totally out of place with anything Matt's ever done (it's probably the fastest run on any of Muses recorded stuff) that suprisingly works so well. It was also an improvised solo, and that was the first take. They were laughing in success (and a bit of "That was weird, but really good!").
I think they're laughing because the harmonic kicked in at the most perfect time and it wasn't even planned. It wasn't a pinch harmonic. You hear the note is normal at start, but the Fernandez Sustainer brought in the harmonic so beautifully and they didn't expect it to happen that way.
After the pinch harmonic, He looked up and had a very serious look on him and others saw it and probably made him laugh for some reason xD. That's why :L
@nikeid9 it's called the making of absolution. It was available for a limited time with absolution. But it's impossible to find anymore. And yeah, this is on the making of the resistance, i'm pretty sure.
While he is making the riff he does something that he didn't expect so his face is like: "WTF did you see that?!" and he makes a funny face.. so when he looks back at the video he laughs 4 this reason!!
no matter how "commercial" they'll go in the future, i deeply believe MUSE will be a band that will never sell out and I'll be able to show it to my grand kids and say "that was how WE rolled back then!"
pinch harmonics ARENT really hard to do - and they're laughing because of the pure awesomeness of the solo and the fact that he did such a sick run... theres no humor... its just what happens when you're a musician and you lay down a beastly riff - this happens too all musicians... you just laugh when you play something magical. thumbs up if you're a musician and know what i'm saying... because it IS the reason he's laughing
@ynkjeter yeah i completely agree... people were sayin its coz its cheesy but wen i 1st watched the dvd with this part on it, it was the 1st time i heard the song and i cracked up laughin as well.. wen u kno ur certain capabilities as a musician and u pull somethin off like that u cant do anythin but laugh =P. and weve neva heard matt playin stuff like this be4 the Resistance. It was just epic!
@ynkjeter thumbs up for sure, you sum it up exactly, i remember back when i started palying guitar 7 months ago the 1st few times i finally hit muse bits that gave me fits, i busted out laughing in the middle of playing and even now when i do my own stuff ill still laugh when i do something sick xD
@ynkjeter its quite hard to get it that perfect and natural sounding after a quick run to be fair. i know the solo like the back of my hand but that harmonic does still stump me sometimes.
@topcat2726 its definitely hard to get that entire solo perfect/natural sounding, that's for sure, but it sounds like you're implying the harmonic is what is so difficult to pull off - i am by no means a virtuoso like matt , or even a great guitarist, but i'm not bad either, and i can honestly say i have no problem hitting that harmonic after the run in the solo (though i sometimes struggle making the run sound that amazing!) - his laugh isn't him reacting to the harmonic alone, i'm sure of it
@nick22samm i dunno, because he never does the harmonic live or at least ive never seen it. i find the run easy but the harmonic tricky lol! we are obviously very different style guitarists. i get ready for the harmonic before the actual run because i know i'll get the run right haha!
@kuul25 He accidentally plays a pitch harmonic when he would have just been playing a straight note/chord. If you listen the the live version of the song there's no pitch harmonic so we're assuming that's the cause of their humour.
@ihsanfauzi He accidentally hit a pinch harmonic, which are really hard to do. (I say it was accidental because he doesn't play it in live versions, he just plays it straight)
Bells, are you HONESTLY surprised you could nail that on the first try? Are you not AWARE of you pure GENIUS? (this is assuming that is the reason they laughed, otherwise I do not know, and love it anyways) :D
@C0NEZ0NE hey C0NE, it is a G# Chord (just like the standard G, just everything one fret higher) and his pinky is playing the note e on the G-string, but don't ask me for the exact name, should be something like G#??? :D
Matt Bellamy is a discussed guitar player. I consider him my favourite of all time, over any other.
Well:
He has his own sytles and prefered techniques. Like the tapping. Compared to every other living guitar player Matt gets a good 8,5/10 for that. He recently plays lot of tapping live, like in Plug In Baby. He doesnt stop improving.
His one overall surpreme ability to me though is his right hand. You can see pure perfection of having a very loose, percet playing hand...
@SaintUdnitz I wouldn't label him my favourite guitarist of all time, but he is my favourite musician of all time :D
And his right hand is awesome, like in the solo for this! The scalic bit at the end and his tremolo picking on that unison bend... I hate his talent :P
they're laughing at that harmonic, whether it was a pinch or from his sustainer it wasn't intended. You can tell look at his surprised face on the left as he plays it. I don't think it was supposed to happen as every live version he doesn't do it.
every time i listen to this song on my ipod or somethin, i always find myself smiling at the guitar riff part cause i always think bout that adorable laugh matt does at 00:19 :D
@YouSWETube I think that they're laughing at how ugly matt is when he plays, he does some weird facial expression. And he's incredibly ugly in that beard, and looks a tad bit like chin-chan (look it up on encyclopedia dramatica).
He's actually laughing cause he didn't mean to hit a pinch harmonic at the end of the scale, it was spontaneous and random, that's why he laughs. Coz live he never does the harmonic, well that's my opinion anyway :)
@Drigzy It wasn't spontaneous by any means, it was just accidental. That harmonic was caused by Matt accidentally hitting the "Harmonic mode" mini-toggle switch for the sustainer pickup, which causes the pickup to create (usually) a 5th harmonic. He laughed because he realized what happened on the playback and thought it was funny.
@xHighPotencyx well tbh i didnt really need a specific run through of how it occured im just saying it wasnt meant to happen and it still sounded good :)
it was matts awesome talent! it does happen accidentally lots of times (it did to me while random playing) in this particular one, it created an awesome solo.
the best muse solo to my mind (invinsible comes second, but this one, without whammys, tapping, or else effects (just WILD distortion) gave me the chills x10000)
Actually, he was laughing at the fact he hit a harmonic on the last note of the scale accidentally, because live he doesn't do it, meaning it must've been just spontaneous, and worked ;)
@RamiroHF Right, but listen, it's not just "an 80's hair metal solo", it's veery close to Brian May's sound (wich, of course it's damn hard to emulate). I think Muse is the most Queen influenced band nowadays (In a very good way! Knights Of Cydonia, US Eurasia, Exogenesis, Uprising...), and the best band now in 2010... Rock on
