Muse and U2 is both my favorite bands, i don't really like to compare them though because they are so different, Bono as well as Matt has really beautiful voices.
Muse fans are always saying untrue things about this band.I saw this guy singing here in my country.He's out of comparision with Bono.They opened for them (u2).Now that I saw, I can say...No doubt about it :
This is a musical orgy of the highest proportions.
And with comparisons between Matt and Bono's vocals, they're quite similar. Matt's voice is like Bono's but a raw version of it, Bono's is like Matt's but a more refined version of it. Can't say who is better but Bono is my favorite vocalist along with Freddie Mercury (who will never be topped as far as rock singers go).
What i Love in Muse is that Matt, Dom our Chris they are all VERY GOOD! I saw them in Portugal during The Resistence Tour, and Dom and Chris did a Duo-Solo and Matt wasn't even in the stage and it was FUCKING AWSOME! In U2 it's all about Bono and The Edge... Though i love The Edge and can't stand Bono :D
@nmfgHoward SORRY YOU'RE SO VERY WRONG.....When Matt or whatever his name is turns 50 he'll be like one of those drug addicts in the movie "trainspotting" and wont be able to sing powerfully and passionately like bono
@wisenumb Mate you can't even compare Trainspotting with this! WTF!? Are you stupid, a retard our just mentaly ill!? Though the bassist (Chris) was in Rehab for Alcool... Sorry mate you are a retard and hater...
@PompeusMagnus that was my reply to some pathetic idiot saying 'bono got owned' and I still maintain that, i dont care if it hurts anyones delicate backside.
@PompeusMagnus bono is 51, maybe he can stretch the notes better, but bono in his prime e.g U2 - Bad 1986 is amazing
and good luck to muse because ATM muse is like U2 when they made "War" - 1983, 2 or 3 more worldwide album sucesses with at least 8 singles between themand maybe muse is close to u2 but that will happen when pigs fly tbh
@evilimpy Mate, just because you have success it doesn't make you more talented... Im sorry but in my opinion the U2 "magic" is more in The Edge's guitar the in Bono's voice... But still, this is useless, they play diferent types of music... It's like saying that Prince sings better then Pavarotti...
People seem to forget that this wasn't meant to showcase Matt's singing skills or muse's skills or whatever. It was just of making the gig more special, and it was a way for muse to make up for a bunch of U2 fans. Quit being so judgmental, the crowd loved it ,muse loved it, The edged loved it.
READ THIS: I watched this then I compared it to several U2 versions and it must be said, despite that the Edge was there. it just doesn't compare at all to any U2 version. I love muse and Matt and though he has one of the best technical voices in the buisness he truly lacks the sheer emotional power that Bono generates and translates through his live performances A MUSE concert is rock the whole night, But a U2 showis complete emotional, physical and spiritual release and nothing compares to it
@flutitas22 I can see you truly love U2 and their style. Still, there are people who feel the same for other bands, what results in the same (the complete release like you have described). You may be right, but some people just don't like U2 that much to feel what you feel when listening to them. Might be a pity. Anyways, this song is epic... :) Cheers mate
@flutitas22 Amen! Just watch U2's performance of this song during the 2002 Super Bowl; it's epic and emotionally draining and triumphant, all at once.
