Muse- Matt Bellamy loses pick during Unnatural Selection-Portland (HD)

[rockgodlegendary]

ive done this before but right before my guitar solo xD

[UndisclosedUprising]

Like a boss.

[TheQ738]

1:22 Wtf? Fail?

[cizzlen07]

Son of a bitch, make it barely even noticeable all while singing, strumming and in the matter of 3 seconds..

[wallaabo]

He didn't lose it, he dropped it. He just switched, people usually do that during live shows since picks gets used up fast.

[TXSao19]

EPIC FUCKING RECOVERY!! haha so smoooooooooooth

[Sevenchappels]

lol This is SO normal...

[FuryRAH]

Does anyone else think it looks like he just dropped it on purpose for some reason? xD

[DeadButFeelingBetter]

it was no big deal...Jeff Beck never uses them

[MaxCjTv]

that was an awesome recovery!

[Copiophonica]

He found it unworthy. That's all.

[Metroidkiller0]

@Copiophonica xD

[wolfthing11]

Most guitarists have picks lined up along the mic stand for occasions like this.

[lmnllouis]

He didn't drop it, it melted.

[borbon95c]

Unfortunately this is just one of matts many epic wins that make the rest us feel like crap. GOD I FRIKIN' LOVVVE HIM THOUGH !!!!!

[borbon95c]

*drops pick* SHIT THE SHOWS RUINED !!! ... Ow wait , it matt Bellamy . Never mind.

[TheMelodyArt]

That is so smoooth:P

[Nadwahh]

That was Cool :D

[Krissypoo508]

Now that, that is professional.

[TheMelodyArt]

Its like MAGIC:O

[5iRDeaddance]

getting another pick LIKE A BOSS!

[whatsthestory92]

sexy...

[95lewiscameron]

So fucking smooth.

[Ashmodious]

was this video posted to show that Matt lost his pick or, how well the production crew are for supplying the picks in such an easy location for Matt to obtain another so fast, cause if it's the former, some people just have too much time on their hands to pick that out and post it on youtube, if it's the latter, then they still have too much time on their hands

[g0newick3d]

@Ashmodious It was actually posted as "Unnatural Selection Solo," but then someone pointed out Matt's epic recovery after dropping his pick, therefore I changed the title. A better title would be "loses pick without missing a note" or something like that. Maybe you're spending too much time analyzing Youtube videos.

[GETSOMEBAND]

like a boss :p

[halo007Mex]

Epic Win!!!!

[YadeyJadey64]

EPICNESSSSSSS! lesson one in learning guitar... drop a pick.... whip... new pick obtained ;D

[Biscuitto]

Would have been even more boss if he did his one handed stuff with his left hand, and looked at his right hand as if to say 'wtf', shrugged and got another one. I know that he has the mad skillz to do so

[ImLai2]

AMAZING

[toxiczebra17]

HOLY CRAP 1:44

[THATguyLOZA]

what a save

[killerkite333]

sneaky move sir

[RhythmAddictedState]

Wow! I guess it's not the first time he loses his pick! :D So badassss...

[franconbean]

1:45 that's professionalism.

[Co0kieDealerr]

I hate it so mutch when i loose my pickxD

[MeideC]

Just have to mention that this is the best part from resistance just got to love it

[Hammy135]

He didn't even need to look at the mic stand. Just reached out and grabbed the pick

[Gustavomazu]

1:44 Loses

1:45 Gets another one that was in the mic.

Ninja.

[angelpunk533]

@Gustavomazu Ninja LOL!

[chiffmonkey]

@Gustavomazu My god that was so smooth.

[cpriicorn]

Matt Bellamy doesn't drop picks, he throws them on the ground because he isn't part of the system.

[puredruid]

He didn't lose his pick, he threw it at the ground and caused a Supermassive Black Hole.

[Planez4meh]

No, he doesn't grab a pick off mic stand. He reaches down after strumming a chord, and gets it off the ground. watch from 1:50. Around 1:53 he picks it up off the ground.

[MattsMuses]

@Planez4meh unbelievably fast manoeuvre, and stupidly well done :')

[Planez4meh]

@MattsMuses The man is god. I'm telling you.

[MattsMuses]

@Planez4meh I prefer Chris Wolstenholme tbh. Yeah. I went there.

[Planez4meh]

@MattsMuses They're all Demi-gods then. Dom is a drum badass... soo...

[bluuuuarrg]

1:43 drop pick

[madmamadog]

1.45 he snatches a pic from the microphone , very professional

[NoNameLikeThisOne]

wait I can't see what Matt did for his save

[EndlesslyPT]

@NoNameLikeThisOne He took another pick from his mic

[Stixanator]

Legend need I say more

[ironkid36]

That happens to me all the time, but I CAN'T CATCH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AIR...

Such epicness.

[squeezeslemons]

Fuckin' SMOOTH recovery, haha.

[NowhereToRunBand]

Matt looks like a teenager in this film LOL

[spankthezebra]

He turned that into a win ! (:

[callumrocksyoursocks]

That was so smooth!

[BenRyan95]

he usually keeps several picks in his mic?

[HagLucas]

@BenRyan95 yep, he does. actually almost every band does that. you never know, right?

[budbuddingdingMUSE]

The second I drop my pick when playing, I shit myself :L I would never make it that smooth :P but quick tip... Buy one of those pick holders (They usually carry 6 or so picks) and stick it behind your guitar's head that way, it isn't in the way and it isn't far from your guitar :P

[wafflewomaaan]

Oh wait my ipod cut off the name, all good now.

[wafflewomaaan]

He is so amazing at guitar!! And piano!! It is now my personal goal to get as good as him at piano!! I can't remember the name of that song though.. What is it?

[urma1234567]

Fuck that was smooth lol

[MyHarmonicSystem]

Pero que bueno es , la pierde y coge otra de forma tan natural...

[lifewithconor]

I love those clips for picks on mike stands, they've saved me like 10 times :L

[chizrok]

1:43 he drops his pick

1:46 he picks up another from the mic stand

[Dela428]

There are several picks on the stand of the microphone) he just got the second one from there. but he did it very artfully ;)

[Derry626]

@Dela428 yeah.. ur right !!

[emerald1071]

I swear he took another pick out from somewhere on the microphone

[lifewithconor]

@emerald1071 Yeah you can buy these attachments that hold picks in case you drop one while your playing They're really useful :D go on to amazon and put this link on the end (it won't let me link it here) /Jim-Dunlop-Stand-Pick-Holder/­dp/B0002D0CNA

[franconbean]

1:53 attempts to pick the guitar pick up xD.

But seriously, its awesome that he just keeps playin like nothing happened. real proffessionalism there

[JovannaRendfield]

experience?

[cenrockon01]

HAHAHA epic!!!! 

[hallza909]

That looks like a magic trick! What are the chances of picking up that pic first go, that quickly? Only Matt could do that of course!

[alexrudhall]

he has a load of spare pics on his mic stand

[Mar1anaB]

"Mine... PICK. MUST. BE. MINE!"

[HumamMuse]

covered in 3 seconds.

[ArekEchelon]

Fuck pick, Matt can play with shoe :D

[5christie]

hahahahahahhahahah why did this make me laugh so much

[MrMikeshi]

1:22 ohhh Matt >=(

[davearias16]

damn, it must have hurt when he used his fingers....

[musicwoman5]

@davearias16 That doesn't hurt, m8...

[PsychoSadez]

That was some swifty pick exchanging there... :D

[PeterShishlin]

@PsychoSadez yeah :) he obviously had a second one - look closely at his right hand at 1:45.

[PeterShishlin]

@PeterShishlin he took it from his mic stand :)

[supermassiveXdream]

And he also keeps shaking his skinny body in slow motion. That's weird, but STILL amazing. Sorry for the two comments, by the way.

[supermassiveXdream]

He gets quite possessed when he performs the solo on this song, but he still looks amazing.

[YASxYT]

It kinda looks like he drops it on purpose, obviously to show off his skills :D

[Dvermoet]

haha awesome pick up action!

[timmay301]

i hate picks. love muse.

[GoatBlaat]

That was a smooth call O.o

Go epic pickup-skills of Matt! XD

[Vaector]

Matt don't loose picks, the picks loose Matt.

[MasterofEtherium]

My God that was amazing :O *drops, strum strum smooth taking of another one, contrinue* AWESOME

[krapticfool]

wait! where is the part that he lost his pick? it seems perfect.

[n1cks0an]

@krapticfool 1:40 you can see it drop out of his hand, he then quickly strums a couple of times before picking up a new one off the microhphone stand.

[RealStunningStuff]

omfg his voice is like WOHHHHAAA !!!!!! <3

[FullMetalMuse]

matt can play with a shoe!

[satyr1956]

thumbs up if you were impregnate with matts seed after watching more than 18.5 seconds of his epicness

[killerkite333]

lol. that made laugh. :)))

[Wrigleyboras]

Good recover, but it's not really something amazing ^^ That's like standard if you loose a pick. But since it's Matthew... OMG NICE I LOVE MUSE <3

[blender3dPy]

perfect recover

[JimmelHappyFunTime]

I would do unspeakable things to see Muse live.

[Liamgeb92]

@JimmelHappyFunTime I have. Twice. Once in Liverpool and once at Wembley. They're mind blowing. Do absoloutely ANYTHING you have to to get a ticket next time they tour near you.

[JimmelHappyFunTime]

@Liamgeb92 For Wembly, was it the HAARP concert? If so, you lucky bastard, that concert was amazing.

[Liamgeb92]

@JimmelHappyFunTime No it was the the gig they did on the 11th of September last year. I think that was a better gig than HAARP, but that might just be cos I was there lol. There's loads of vids of the gig floating about Youtube.

[Vlodrak]

@Liamgeb92 I went to that gig and I think I can say it was not only their best gig, but one of the most astounding events humanity has witnessed.

[EndlesslyMused]

@JimmelHappyFunTime Yeah, I have to say, that HAARP concert was fucking amazing. I was there on the 16th, proper awesome. I mean, Micro Cuts, live? Can't top that!

[uvapen]

Matt sees the rack of guitar picks on his mic stand, then sees his old pick on the floor and thinks to himself "What would Jesus do?" and goes for the epic save!

[LiveRoomRecords]

anyone else ever thought that Matt Bellamy and Chuck Norris could be brothers?

[juanariful]

@LiveRoomRecords chuck norris is matts son!

[kirbygirl49]

that was fuckin PWOPER! :D

[xmripper]

@nocturnezero: He actually droped at 1:42 and took another one at 1:45 from his mic-stand.

[uminety]

i lost 2:20 minutes to see what i do wen i play, just the music saved my lost

[whedonobsessed]

poor Matt, he obviously lost his concentration for a second while thinking about Dom :D

[charmeleon10]

I didn't get it.. What kind of a save was that at 1:53? I couldn't see anything..

[wbrycem]

@charmeleon10 1:44 drops pick

1:45 grabs pick off mic

[Interludeoverdue]

SKILL!

[FemaleJames]

i think we're all just really impressed at the speed and accuracy of grabbing a new one but if you think about how many times it must have happened over his career, it's probably second nature now, look at how smoothly he changes guitars when they stop working

[olivia94tennis]

i have a mini heart attack when i drop a pick when i play to myself...imagine the sheer panic of dropping it on stage hahaha

[KJFilmProductions]

he's professional by not making it a big deal he just grabbed anotherone, good performer

[Misishaxi]

Epic save? what, reaching up to a mic stand and taking another pic? Fucking hell, everyone would probably have a fit if he'd just caught it before it dropped. "OMFGGGG HES LIKE NEO FROM TEH MATRIZXX!"

[robinfinckisgod]

@Misishaxi

to be fair, he has thousands of people watching him and he just smoothly grabs another without even flinching. Bedroom guitarists would be slightly surprised when a pick flies out their hand, bellamy hardly reacts to it.

[nocturnezero]

@Misishaxi We thought he was bending down to grab the pick off the ground; the actual pick grab wasn't clear at lower resolutions.

[kirbygirl49]

@Misishaxi he IS like Neo from teh Matrixx. Don't doubt Matt Bellamy. Ever.

[gigush]

and gracefully picks another one on the mic.

[Chrometemplar]

hes freakin swift on grabbing another pick from the mic stand

[morgs411]

ninja matt

[aamusedd22]

he was so qiuck...for some reason i am turned on by this :p

[Drakke11]

He loses it at 1.43 and then, at 1.46 he grabs another one in the mic.

[nocturnezero]

@Drakke11 Oh, good catch. My mistake.

[dheMuze]

OMG, that was so fast o_O

[musejames93]

Jesus christ he covered that up excellently! didn't even notice a difference

[GOR225]

WOW. He just keeps going like nothing happened

[jjysoserious]

Mmm not sure he grabbed it back...

[xBriLynnx]

Not sure why everyone is amazed by his epic save..

He IS Matthew Bellamy, y'know :)

[Ademeu]

Ouch, play on an electric guitar wothout pick? Not easy, he is really good :)

[sletteboer]

@Ademeu

He doesn't play without, he grabs a new one before he hit the strings for the 2nd time. It looks like he's picking it up from the ground, but he doesn't!

[Ademeu]

@sletteboer Ok, I didn't see that! You have good eyes :)

[Drakke11]

@Ademeu Put in 720p xD

[lisvaa]

muchhhhh smoother than New Born in Uniondale!! haha check that out

[araliciousfamous]

OH kewl!!! Matt was so fast and smooth that it look like as if he was still playing the guitar when he grabbed the pick

[luckymusecharm7]

so smooth

[xMariiih]

he was quick o:

[pk4z2]

SKILL :P

[fudgiepoopie]

matt is so effing hawt! gah.

<3

i love muse

[JohnYelinek]

@MTViperGTS Yeah, probably, but I bet he gets 'em for free anyway haha.

[dominant1598]

aha i love how casually he does it quick strum with his finger and pulls out another from his mic stand :D i love matt bellamy omg :D:D:D

[xxsimismokeyxx]

He does that very smoothly...

[elrickerick]

1:45 omg i had to watch this part twice to realize he took another from the mic xD

[nicktoe]

amazing grab for another pick.great footage

[Daavoid]

He didnt lose it. He intentionaly discarded it.

[JohnYelinek]

Whoever said the picks are worth $50 is a moron. I use the same ones. Dunlop Tortex 73mm.  $2.99 for a dozen.

[MTViperGTS]

@JohnYelinek I think he meant the picks actually used by Muse are on sale on eBay for $50. I use the .73s as well. Great stuff

[newzealandgal42]

he keeps his cool and is so seamless.

go matthew bellamy.

[drummerdude1411]

what a proo!!!

[jonafide]

those things are worth $50 (i was curious so i looked it up on ebay :P)

[XxAgAmAiVexX]

Oh, and I forgot to mention his awesome guitar and piano skills :)

[XxAgAmAiVexX]

Damn it, Is there something Matt cannot do???? 1. He can say the alphabet backwards 2. He does the "Mattwalk" (and also plays the guitar while doing it :D) 3. his amazing vocal skills....and 4. He loses his pick in the middle of a song and in less than a blink gets another one! .... :o That's why I love him!! :)

[TheNathanBoy10]

1:42 run little pick run for your life!!!

[shirlay]

Matt can lose his guitar and It will sound AWESOME!

[VanessaZon]

i think matt can just make pics magicly appear out of no where like a magician with a coin :) and it looks like he had alot of practice swapping pics during songs.

[VanessaZon]

i think matt can just make pics magicly appear out of no where like a magician with a coin :)

[LoveBonan923]

Hahaha :P Its like he never lost his pic :D He just grabbed one and he did it so fast! ;O<3

[Reflectinglight18]

I didn't even see it until the second time around xD

[MyMelon13]

@Reflectinglight18 haha same here.... i saw him lose it and was waiting for him to grab another, but he already had it :D i was like, "Did he just GROW another one?"

[chrislpp]

this is like rule numero 1 for guitarists, spare picks right where you can grab them

[ecitenoid]

matt bellamy absolutely a great gitarist ever.. he can maintain his vocal while playing his guitar although he loses his guitar pick.. he got his own soul through his music.! *mood = awesome.!*

[aloximusic1996]

1:43 u can see it XD

[YouSWETube]

wtf is he doing? .. :P

[SailorSaturnCelestia]

And he doesn't miss a beat folks! That's why he rules! Hey, if you've gotten a 'clue'

HOLLA back to me!
