  • I think mU2e would be an awesome band...

  • This is great, what paying tribute is all about, respect to whom deserves it!

  • Great performance. Wish the audio was studio quality (I'd love to blast this in my car), but thanks nonetheless!

  • If You're a MUSER follow me on Twitter ---> @Chris_Mclovin7

  • whos that old guy with the beanie?

  • @Dutchmuffin90 get fucked wankshaft, it says it on the title.

  • @Dutchmuffin90 Really? hmm...well he's rock royalty; one of the top 5 most influencial rock guitarists of all time; and oh yeah - he helped write this song. wow

  • @Dutchmuffin90 that old guy with the beanie is the Edge, guitarist for U2 (: and one of the most innovative guitarists of the last 20 years (:

  • Ok well, im not going to join the argument between PlayinForTheMusic and AbbeyRoadkill1, except i'm gonna say one thing. WHO THE HELL CARES. Don't bother arguing on YouTube. Where is it going to get you? no where.

  • @guitarandbass1995 anyways, this was a good performance, Edge and Matt were awesome, it just feels weired seeing Muse with four people on the main stage, still very good tho.

  • god dammit, i can never enjoy good comments because little comment debates fill all the god damn comment section... and yes, i'm speaking of @PlayinForTheMusic and @AbbeyRoadkill1

  • Muse and U2? Perfect (im a muse fan)

  • i'm tired of this useless comparing! I'm 43 i saw 15 u2 gigs since 1985,obviosly i really love u2,but for me Muse are a better live band,1 of the greatest live band ever( saw them live 6 times since 2001)U2 are great(I love Edge's style he create his own style,easy but remarkable),but as musicians Muse are unreacheable especially Matt Bellamy,don't forget that he sing and he play guitar(one of the best guitar player ever)and piano, being inspired by rachmaninoff,chopin,lizst!I love both bands!

  • @spikelive Let's all remember that this is Muse covering U2, not the other way around. U2 has never-- and will never-- cover a Muse song. The only covers U2 do are songs by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, because that's who they really admire.

  • @spikelive They are both awesome bands and will definitely be remembered in music history. I think that Muse are better, but U2 have a 30 year history out there and, so far, that makes them more respectable. And I need to tell you that Muse are my favourite band, while U2 is not even on my top 3.

  • @1994savvas Sounds like you need a serious music history lesson. Muse are a good band but-- in terms of all-time great rock bands-- they aren't even in the Top25. Ever heard of The Beatles? Led Zeppelin? The Rolling Stones? The Jimi Hendrix Experience? The Who? Pink Floyd? The Clash? Bruce Springsteen & the 'E' St. Band? The Kinks? Nirvana? REM? Radiohead? Queen? Jethro Tull? Talking Heads? AC/DC? Red Hot Chili Peppers? The Cure? No disrespect 2 Muse, but they still have a ways 2 go.

  • @AbbeyRoadkill1 Yeah, I don't doubt it. What I said is that Muse are too "new" to be compared to all those bands. And by saying "top 3", I wasn't talking about the 3 best bands ever, but for my personal favourites. i think we are saying the same thing, but I was not clear to what I said and created a confusion.

  • @1994savvas I get yer drift & I'm not trying to rag on people's tastes in music. I believe in "to each their own." But I would still contend that if you truly schooled yourself on all the great bands of history, Muse would fall out of your top3. I've been listening to music for decades, and anyone worthy of the moniker 'rock fan' has to admit The Beatles are #1 and The Stones/Zeppelin are #2 & 3. I just get tired of people proclaiming relatively new bands 'greatest ever' prematurely.

  • @AbbeyRoadkill1 i'm 43...j saw gigs of pink floyd,police,pearl jam,u2(15gigs),simple minds(17gigs,most underrated band ever)Springsteen,rem,radiohead­(best band of the last 20 Years with Muse 4me),Cure,red hot chili,depeche mode,ac/dc,coldplay...they're all great bands,but 4 me MUSE ARE THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER and one of the greatest band ever!...MATT BELLAMY IS A GENIUS!from alternative rock to classical music...no one like HIM ,4 me!...obviously it's my thought!greetings from italy

  • @spikelive That's cool. Good to see you're not just a passive 'radio listener' fan and you actually get out to concerts to see your favorite artists. I agree with you that Radiohead are the best band of the last 20 years (with an honorable mention for Nirvana-- though they weren't around very long). But the best LIVE band ever is clearly Led Zeppelin, with U2 close behind. Muse are great, but they don't pluck you out of your seat and take you to another planet the way Zep used to-- and U2 does.

  • @AbbeyRoadkill1 unfortunately i didn't see a led zepellin gig!and i'm really sad ..but 4me (and i play u2 cover,cause i really love u2 ,j saw 15 gigs the 1st one in1985)there no match Muse are better musicians compared with U2 ,and j love especially ed'e's style ,he got his own wonderful style...but Muse's drummer and bass player are better than adam clayton and larry mullen....and Matt Bellamy Is" beyond " everything and everyone,a Genius...obviously this is only,my opinion! ciao cheers!

  • @spikelive For me, who's technically a 'better musician' is not the issue (if you're looking for technicality, try Yo Yo Ma!) It matters who writes better songs-- songs that are timeless & reach every person on the planet. On that level Muse can't compete with U2. Bono & The Edge have written timeless song after timeless song. Muse has yet to write a 'One,' or 'Pride (In The Name Of Love),' or 'Sunday Bloody Sunday,' or 'Where The Streets Have No Name.' Great songs>great musicianship.

  • @AbbeyRoadkill1 buddy,i don't want argue with you about U2,because as i wrote in the last comment,i really love U2,i adore U2 and i share your thought about pride,streets ,sbsunday,bad,still haven't found,with or without you!but the same thought is good for me about Ruled by secrecy,citizen erased,butterflies and hurricanes,exo politcs,space dementia,bliss,sunburn,mk ultra, the 3 exogenesis symphony even,especially for the quality of the lyrics !

    

  • @spikelive and for me the difference is also that play muse's song is hardest than play u2 songs...hahaha! than it's true that the edge has his wonderful own style,but as he said in 1984(during the making of unforgettable fire),he was inspired by charlie burchill(simple minds guitarist)that more or less some years before the edge, invented that kind of echoes sound,that in the middle of the 80's edge daniel lanois and brian eno developed,creating the shimmer effect! anw for two awesome bands

  • @spikelive Those are all good Muse songs-- with the emphasis on 'good' (they're not timeless). There is no Muse tune I've heard yet except perhaps "Uprising" or "Supermassive Black Hole" that will still be played 50 or 100 years from now (& I'm familiar with all Muse's albums except 'Showbiz'). If you're looking for music that's 'hard to play,' Muse is not it. Again, Yo Yo Ma is a much better example of 'difficult' music. Rock'n roll is not hard music (even Muse)-- except a few Zeppelin tunes.

  • @AbbeyRoadkill1 By the way, what's really, really, really difficult to do is write timeless, unforgettable melodies that reach the ears of every person on the planet Earth. U2 has a long track record of doing that. I'm not trying to degrade Muse-- they're an excellent band-- but they have yet to do that.

  • @AbbeyRoadkill1 doesn't mean a band has legacy and history that they are "great". in every era there are greats, no doubt they were, but Muse are THE band. generation gap, but the level and style of music is different. U2 have been around long enough to achieve this success, but Muse is superior it terms of music, it's technicality, inovation, and live performances.

  • @PlayinForTheMusic "The Edge is the last person to invent a new way to play the guitar." --Eric Clapton. That's innovation! U2 also writes better songs. Nothing Muse has written is on the same level with 'Sunday Bloody Sunday,' 'Pride (In The Name Of Love),' 'Where the Streets Have No Name,' 'One,' or 'Miss Sarajevo.' I follow modern music closely and I haven't heard that level of songwriting out of Muse yet. Songwriting lasts longer than technicality. Ask The Beatles.

  • @AbbeyRoadkill1 You take it from a Legend from the same era as him? It's like your asking your mom whether oldies sounds better than some of today's pop trash, it's silly. He made the remark a while ago I remember. They're songs are pretty nice I agree, but it's so stereotype that everytime i hear it i know its U2. Edge invented a new way to play guitar, by using his effects to the max genius I say. But it's become boring, an invention to no great extent. They're work WAS great, past stance.

  • @PlayinForTheMusic You show your ignorance of music history by thinking Clapton is "the same era" as The Edge-- he's NOT. Clapton's is from the 1960's, The Edge is from the 1980's. As for every song by an artist "sounding the same," MUSE ARE THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF THAT! Every single Muse album sounds like every other one. U2 albums DO NOT all sound the same-- have you ever listened 2 the albums "War," "The Joshua Tree," and "Achtung Baby" back to back to back? That's variety!

  • Maybe in another decade or two-- if Muse sticks around and keeps making good music-- you could compare them with U2, but not until then. I actually think the closer comparison as of right now is U2 and Radiohead. Muse need to simmer a little longer... Muse = great band, U2 = legends.

  • @AbbeyRoadkill1 I would say Radiohead pretty much shits on U2 but to each his/her own of course. But from a talent standpoint, Radiohead is clearly streets ahead. lol

  • @tjp87 Not according to Thom Yorke & the Greenwood bros., who all worship U2.

  • i like muse but u2 deliver this better alone

  • Fucking awesome. 2 amazing bands together

  • @DJ4e6yPek ...says the u2 fan?

  • @KnightsHuSayNee  Yeah I'm Here Only For Edge

  • @DJ4e6yPek You suck D=<

  • @DJ4e6yPek Bitch stfu youre not even important so FUCK YOU

  • Bono is Bono...

  • The Edge certainly hasn't lost his...

    well...

    edge.

  • Wow this is epic. I can't believe I only just saw this for the first time. Amazing music from two amazing bands. And an astonishing ass on that Christopher Wolstenholme.

  • @amythevictim ass? xD

  • @ArcticGalaxy2 yes. ass. i'd love me a slice of that delicious wolsten-ass. wouldn't anyone?

  • look, thumbs up to anyone who has a dream to be in a band and they make it and get famous for writing cool songs and all that.....but some songs should not be covered. this is one of them.

  • he has a much better voice than bono

  • @mcmidge96 As of this moment maybe Matt has a better voice than Bono has. But in Bono's heyday he had the better voice.

  • Hey guys, little information on this song and performance. "Where the streets have no name" was written about the streets of Belfast where one could tell someones religion, Catholic or Protestant" from which street they lived on. Matt's mother is from Belfast, Ireland so I reckon this performance meant alot to him, thumbs up to spread the word, two awesome bands, Thomas (:

  • @tubsandtiles3 Northern Ireland 

  • @Stephanavich it doesn't matter buddy (:

  • I.Was.There.

    

  • @mahargraham85 I envy you SO much.

    Two tastes that go great together. As a massive fan of both bands, I can't even begin to explain how incredibly giddy this performance makes me :D.

  • Chris is better than Adam Clayton and Dom than Larry Mullen jr.

    But U2 is the biggest band in the world, just close to Muse, in 2nd !! :D

    No way, I fuckin love Muse

  • Only Muse could cover the most epic U2 song. and make it sound even more fucking epic!!!!

  • Chuck Norris admires Muse, he even sings in their shows.

  • @DJMarteenBrony Chuck Norris is an idiot, find out why by posting this after the Youtube url. /watch?v=J_Skvo9u6eM

  • Seriously, 30STM is not even that good, they're not even decent. Muse on the other hand, awesome! <3

  • @Niikuru soooooooo right♡

  • i have always respected 30 seconds to mars... but god damnit their fans are annoying. Two completely different covers. For me personally, I don't care who the guitarist is, "Streets" has to be played by Edge. As a muse fan I love this version even more because they let Edge play it over Matt, it's just his riff. I respect 30 seconds for trying to give this a different take, but for me it doesn't hold up at all compared to this or the original. Stop spamming this video please.

  • @KnightsHuSayNee That negativity really isn't needed here.

  • 3:08 A song to connect strangers together :')

  • I love their version, but this version is awesome too: /watch?v=7dpxSSkV2EI&feature=r­elated

  • Matt has the best voice of the world *-*

  • @jesm45 dont you dare bring up a piece of shit band in here.

  • @bloc22 when you say that 30 SECONDS TO MARS is shit, that means that you don´t now what´s music !

  • @jesm45 Hmm I'm pretty sure 30 seconds to mars isn't music........but ok.

  • @sbhudson20 TRUE!

  • /watch?v=V-zqIS7vWbY

  • Wow! This is a really good song :) I wonder why Muse hasn't put it on one of their albums! And that guy with the hat is pretty good at guitar. Is he in the band??

  • @kylegetson i really hope you are just trolling!

  • @kylegetson you got it all wrong. that guy with the hat is muse and the band is called the edge

  • 4:24

  • um absss the edge

  • The best live band there is playing the best live song there is at the best festival.

  • to have been there, would naturally be a bigger piece, but this video alone, is like a piece of heaven to me ^^

  • you know you've made it as a musician when you can play Glastonbury with The Edge.

  • This is precise moment that Matt Bellamy knew he had 'made' it!

  • it might just be me but personally I think Muse shit all over U2

  • @gdmuse84 It is most definitely just you.

  • @viperdude281 oh really, shall we do a poll of least annoying frontman? Matt or Bono? I'll get you started, one still writes half decent songs and the other's a wanker preaching about global warming whilst flying everywhere in a private jet

  • @gdmuse84 I think Bono is the better singer and better song writer. This is a great cover though not many can live up to the expectation like Muse did.

  • well bono...... ur fired

  • @rahullinkinparklp bull shit.. nuff said

    

  • @rahullinkinparklp

    whoa there

  • i love where the streets have no names the fife flyers hockey team walks out to it and it gives me shivers everytime i hear it

  • It's nice to hear this song a semitone lower.

  • Only Muse could steal the guitarist from the second best band in the world and knock the living shit out of one of their staples.

  • @Garrotte123 Good rendition, not that good. Best I've heard though

  • @Garrotte123 stfu you whore

  • @diekontrolleure Now you know where your inheritence is going... ; )

  • MUSE is the new "U2" !

  • For me that was the best moment of the whole of glasto.. apart from working during the days.

  • Were it not for anyone else playing this U2 song! U2 the best

  • HOLY FUCKING AWSOOOOOOMMMEEE

  • awesomeness.

  • Just fucking amazing. Those are the only words I can find for this.

  • day 24 of looking for DiiDyy8D's comment. Running low on food and water.

  • WHY AM I JUST DISCOVERING THIS?! This makes my life.

  • @marcoconti90badbad [_ !FUCKING EPIC!_]

    there it is :D

  • Para mi, muse es 1000000 veces superior a U2, no digo que sea malo (U2) pero a mi la verdad no me gusta, además siento que muse tiene muchísimo más calidad musical, y la voz de Matt es simplemente perfecta y extraordinaria, mientras que la de Bono, bueno ni voz tiene ya :/

  • Nice cover from Matt, keeping his own style but little bit different, in a good, good way :0

  • id love to see matt just be a singer throughout knights of cydonia and let his dad do the guitar

  • @troymellor why knights of cydonia?

  • @bunnykingIII matt has said that the guitar riff was based around a lot of the work his dad did

  • I LITTERALY fucking cry when I see this.

  • next guest.. Tom Morello. =))

  • @killerkite333 Or Zack De La Rocha, so then they can properly cover a RATM song!

  • Glaston' is where it happens. Another proof!

  • my fav band in the world, linking up with one my fav guitarist in the world, playing one of my fav song in the world... does not get better than that!!

  • forste gang jeg saa U2 var i Danmark in 1970-80 og da ved jeg det var den bedste vi ankom in rock musik i mit generation; og enda, er det stadigvek!

  • que buen cover esta de huevos !!!!!!!

  • The question is who is the best band ? and the answer is MUSE ^^

  • The guitarrist of the best band in the world with the second-best band in the world.

  • Matt makes Bono look like nancy boy.

    :D

  • The torch has been passed.

  • every part of me wishes i was there

    

  • the edge makes this song of course but bellamy does a good job on vocals the edge is the man

  • I don´t like this, I LOVE THIS!!!

  • I like muse but I believe 30 seconds to mars did a way better version.

  • @30echelonsinmars Whilst I respect your opinion, and believe you are perfectly entitled to it, I disagree. Muse headlined the biggest *and most famous* festival in Europe, on it's 40th anniversary and got the Edge up on stage because U2 had been unable to perform. The song was only rehearsed once, without the Edge. So what you're seeing here is just pure talent. 30stm are talented, yes, but Muse are a different league.

  • @MyGHGHGHGHGHG Well to me, muse is to repetitive and and don't really like his voice. Mars has a way different style, every cd is different. Plus they;ve won against muse several times in vmas or emas. I started liking muse mainly becuase the publicity twilight brought them, but then it turned too predictible. They have good songs, but not enough to make me addictive to them. Sorry for my bad writing, english is not my main language.

  • @30echelonsinmars beat muse in vmas and emas... wow who cares about them anyway don't mean fuck all

  • @MyGHGHGHGHGHG the one rehearsal thing is pretty impressive though. I appreciate their talent with the guitars, they never run out of new notes. Have they done mtv unplugged?

  • @MyGHGHGHGHGHG

    Meh, every Muse record is completely different if you ask me. We all have different opinions though. :D

  • I prefer Muse to 30 Seconds To Mars, but i have to say, 30stm did a better version.

  • combining my favourite part of u2 with my favourite band. heaven.

  • I wish i could have seen this live

  • F*ck U2, <3 MUSE!

  • Nahhh.... I prefer the 30 stm version..... But this is good

  • 3x epic + epic = 4x epic

  • @TheoEvBellamy You could have phrased that better, some people won't understand.

  • this is awesome, but the original of U2 in the live concerts is FUCKING OUTSTANDING AWESOME, and @tomek5570 , are u fucking kidding me?, EPIC FAIL? NO WAY BETTER THAN U2 , U2 ARE THE GODS OF MUSIC, Muse are just another great band

  • @acapellayou U2 is a legend, Muse is the next legend :D both are fucking awesome!

    U2 <3

  • love this cum back to every time !!!

  • THIS is what I call Idols.

  • ...brividi...

  • i like this better than originial version but matt's voice isnt as good as bono

  • Imagine this as a regular 4 piece band. Holy shit...

  • What kind of bass is Chris playing

  • @Orangemongoose1I think it's the Pedulla Rapture SB5 he destroyed, or a Status Bass

  • Chris could be a pretty good bobble head :P

  • Muse made me love this song. So much so I can't stop listening!

  • Those four guys must be careful not to be killed - God wants a live concert too. xD

  • God, when Matt puts his guitar behind his back,it's so fucking sexy for some reason.:L

  • @FuryRAH Diff is he can actually PLAY that guitar, it's not just a prop...

  • @manco82 And a fucking awesome guitarist he is.=D

  • This is beautiful. There are no words.

  • The best night of my entire life. I want to go back there every day.

  • This has nothing to do about which version's the best!! This version, the u2 version and the 30seconds to mars, they are all three awesome!!

  • Comment removed

  • better then u2

  • @tomek5570 you wish

  • Fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking GOOOOOOOD!!!!

  • The Edge is The Edge. Enough said.

  • Muse utterly nailed this song!

  • good that they took down my comment xD

    it was pure shit!
