The longest recorded "scream" of Matthew Bellamy!

[RaQuElTheonetheonly]

he's done longer notes then that i think, NO ONE CAN UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER THAT LIES WITHIN MATTHEW BELLAMY!

[ArtjomGlad]

I can hold a note for amlost a minute!

[diebydeath]

What about the almighty Rob Halford at the end of Painkiller? I think that's over 20 seconds.

[Mymelodyize]

Here's a long note then a phrase without a breath lasting 20 seconds at 3.23

watch?v=DJYyqzUr6jU

[VandinJ]

18 ? I'm better ...

[feelthless]

watch?v=0xyxtzD54rM&ob=av2e (2:27)

THAT is 18 seconds long SCREAM.

[FuryRAH]

@feelthless love that song! although i think that's why the uploader of this video put "scream" instead of just scream - he doesn't especially scream unless he's doing a falsetto note like in say, Shrinking Universe :)

[elementos94]

xD

[elementos94]

He's got a Fernandes sustainer on his throat

[agk971]

i really don't get the Muse/Radiohead 'war', I PERSONALLY IN MY OPINION prefer Radiohead but to any fan of either band worth their salt they are nothing like each other.

[CaptainPengu]

@agk971 Yeah. They're both great bands, it's a shame the fandom rivalry gets to hilariously stupid extents. I think I enjoy Radiohead more as well but there's no denying how absolutely monstrous Muse live performances are. Radiohead are good too but Thom's voice doesn't hold up very well these days, I've found :\

[TheMuseZo]

GO MATT!!! XD

[Cheyenne1433]

Quit comparing a God like Matt Bellamy to this Thom Yorke guy...

[FallenWarrior7]

@Cheyenne1433 matt bellamy wouldn't be who he is without thom yorke. l2musichistory

[Dantemxl]

@FallenWarrior7

WTF!?

are you dumb or what?

[koutaa55]

guys... dont compare muse to radiohead, that's the lamest thing yo do on the internet

[SuperMegaFl0yd]

I like Muse and all, but Maynard James Keenan blows everybody out of the water with his vocal ability.

[walmartian555]

lol retards check out vitas opera no 2

youl shit bricks if you think this is anything special

[Gabe872]

Maynard James Keenan from tool "screams" for 29 seconds at the end of "the grudge"

[pumps8989]

just hear live version of radiohead´s Creep in 1994 and you´ll see a damn high long note ;)

[MuseCheers]

osef de Thom Yorke x)

[falafelisareligon]

Jeff Mangum anyone? In almost every song of his?

[LtCommanderData1100]

chills



[Vioflora]

There are indian classical singers who easily do 15s, but I do love Mathew

[henkiewessel]

jeff buckley beats this ;)

[Rockyeeful]

I'm a big fan of Muse, but this isn't screaming lol :p

[HappySmilyGuy]

18 seconds isn't amazingly impressive in all honesty, and it's not a final note as he doesn't stay on one note ;P but I'm just being picky, Matt's an amazing musician and the 18 sounds are particularly good it must be said :)

+ for this type of singing i think the comparison should be Matt and Thom, not Chester. I love them all, but Thom and Matt are going for similar styles of self taught sketchy singing with lots of head voice with loads of delay and reverb :)

[NoGoodGTsForMe]

Myles Kennedy beat this with 28 or 29 seconds in "blackbird". After the solo, listen to him sing. Thumbs up for Alter Bridge! <3

[yesplease91]

@NoGoodGTsForMe Im sorry. Jonsi, from sigur ros, beat him with an almost 1 minute and 30 seconds (yeah, 1' 30'') high note. just check out the Festival version included on the recently released dvd, INNI. its amazing!

[arebelasaint]

Key word there is "scream". Matt Bellamy doesn't scream, he sings.

[Camberwell86]

@arebelasaint No, he does scream... in the sense that it's so passionate, it can be considered a scream, almost a cry. His voice is so deep from the soul, it's not "singing," it is quite literally the 4th instrument. I think that's why Muse are so popular internationally to non English speakers, because you don't really need to know the lyrics to understand the song. :)

[bergity]

lol if it's talent to sustain a note for that long then I got him beat by a mile... lol and I smoke...

[asingerh]

@bergity lol fuck off, it's not about note sustenance, it's about the incredible pitch and vibrato with which he does it. Ignorance, jesus.

[iTiDarkenedK]

@bergity COOL DUDE

[SJSingleton26]

Chester Bennington + Matthew Bellamy <3

[mackensie2212]

not really a scream is it ... thats a full chest thing.

[danielbaksa93]

ömm Linkin Park - Givin up ? and Matthew sing this "scream" but Chester scream in givin up but MAtthew is a realy cool singer

[MemoriesLP]

@danielbaksa93 Yes. Chester can scream like that way better. I dont agree with this video.

I think screams like in showbiz, micro cuts, or something like that is the best of matt. No one can scream like him, like no one can scream like chester.

But matt can scream like chester, but not many time.

From brasil, sorry for the english.

[cubby3o5]

I thought it said Matt Barlow. Still awesome though.

[appleofmypie]

soFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR BEHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND <3

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

anything you want, whatever makes you happy, he's a creep

[bp56789]

@EtcEtcAndEtc you do realize that's Radiohead, don't you?

[TheMuse97]

19 Secondi!



[nicolai220]

Scream?????

[sippe555]

@thedemonwhoswaiting Uhm, sorry but no. The note was held on "far", and only for a short time before going down. And also, the note was in the first 5 seconds of the video :)

[MrEdhr]

haha oh yeah! huge lungs

[dhucksy]

It's just a shame the song is shit haha! I love Muse but it's awful! xD

[MsHebinha]

A-Ha vocal  Morten Harket 20" in Summer moved on!

[Sipper0]

I thought that Matt was wearing heels when I saw the pic XD just look at his foot under the piano stool :')

[halarryus]

Given up by linkin park... just saying

[bragosng1]

God Hates Us (Graspop 2011 live).... THIS is a scream.It's shorter,but way more powerful.

[fiveonefiveohwe]

I can do that ;o

[EatSpudsOrDie]

Like a boss!

[BlackOpsForMuse]

What is the tittle of this "Great" song ?? =)

[WideEyedConversation]

@BlackOpsForMuse Prague, it was originally done by Mega City our

[ZanmaruV2]

Bruce Dickinson beats the fuck out of that...

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@ZanmaruV2 But the question is: who the fuck cares? Both of them are incredible vocalists, stop comparing them.

[ZanmaruV2]

@GoodGuitarSolos umad bro?

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@ZanmaruV2 Irealistic bro.

[edwardculleniscool1]

oh my god...his lungs..

[diamondwriter1]

Technically it's 20 seconds because he went a little longer after you stopped counting. :D

[CrackeTheSkull]

That's much more of a Yell than a Scream.

[HALCON2525]

19 =D



[GirlySmurf662]

IT WAS 19!

[diakae]

0:27 CHILE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cotee7]

@diakae it was in chile? omg i'm from chile!

[diakae]

@cotee7 Xd no.. me refiero que sale la bandera de chile en la foto fijate :D !

[cotee7]

@diakae oh cierto! xD ya la vi :P

[Traiannnn]

I'm a big Linkin Park fan and I love the Kid-A album of Radiohead. I know the song 'creep' and this does not sound like Creep. I'm a singer myself and this is just amazing. Ofcourse Thom Yorke does it too, cause he's also a very talented vocalist. Chester Bennington screams 18 seconds, which in my opinion is harder, especially stay in the false vocal chords connection for 18 seconds. I love Matt btw, very good vocalist in any way.

[CagedWind]

OMG he's my love!!!!!

[fretecka]

I AM FROM PRAGUE!! YEAH!!!!

[whats00new]

@TheARJ15 well said !

[thrashfan17]

@TheARJ15

Are we discussing talent here?

Youtube: xMZh9OtAeSY

[cnodder00]

dude thats not 18 sec and its not even a scream

chek chesters bennington scream

and he isent gay like this 1

[451harri]

@cnodder00 It's just a shame that bennington has, so far, been so incapable of writing music that he's only achieved a modicum of the success that Muse have achieved, and has also said that he thinks Muse are amazing.

[Traiannnn]

@451harri

I'm sorry, I'm not very good in english, but what do you mean a modicum of the succes that Muse has?

Yes, Chester loves Muse a lot, and wants to tour with them sometime, but Linkin Park does have more success than Muse, I think. Based on albums sold, over 50 million, and Hybrid Theory being the most sold album of this century. I'm a LP fan but I love Muse, Muse and Linkin Park are the best live performers EVER. Also I said this based on LP's fanbase, which is very large.

[451harri]

@Traiannnn Let's go by critical success. As in, which band reviewers actually think is good.

[TheDarkFrontier]

@451harri

Oh, that'll be pretty much none then. Most critics nowadays don't know how to review something properly.

Critical success & commercial success should have no bearing on how good a band is. I'm not saying that's what you are saying, just saying :)

[MrSWEable]

what song?

[musersliveon]

that was 19 seconds. you did stop before he did

[StillLifeWithMangoes]

lol copying thom yorke again

[KAmaKAsa1]

@StillLifeWithMangoes lol radiohead overrated, alot

[FlyingFuckstorm]

Funny how that sounded exactly like Creep.

[gtjordan781]

@FlyingFuckstorm well, it is the same note

[franconbean]

@FlyingFuckstorm No it doesn't.

[FlyingFuckstorm]

@franconbean Yeah, it does. 2:45 of Creep. Look it up.

[INsolent1cucumbER]

вай-вай, да у него, наверно, дыхалка хорошая! даже из тональности не ушёл! Я ЕГО ОБОЖАЮ!!! И MUSE!!! ААААААААААААА!!!!!!!!!!

[touchmyeggs]

Jonsi, (Sigur Ros), Barcelona, november 2008, ¡ 1:20 !

[thecitizenme]

i love how the bass drum follows the timer seconds..xD

[IamThorTube]

i think i'ts map of your head

[dopejoel]

that's called belting not screaming

[volleyballplayer54]

according to the second counting on this video i could only hold a note for 17 sec

[MuseShrimp]

If you count in real seconds, and not in every beat it is 16 seconds. But Matt is still amazing and I love him and the rest of Muse.

[UnknownSect333]

Meh...

[godistv]

And?.

[brown996]

altho' i dig matt and muse there are by far longer screams and more intensive then this, and this is a shout not a scream...

and no i don't mean growls, or emo screams, but harmonyc screams :P

[YOGURThurts]

He screams for 18 inches?

[Lorx92]

Betty dice che ha preso fiato

[redhairedtics]

Lol I could barely do it...

Even when I took one breath...

Without exhaling...

That's magic

[jugglemonkey1992]

Chester Benninton of Linkin Park has an 18 second scream on Given Up, and it's actually a scream ;)

[xSystemofaDillonx]

@jugglemonkey1992 If you can do screams in general, it's super easy to do that dude.. Sorry man, even I can do that. :p

[jugglemonkey1992]

@xSystemofaDillonx I never said they were hard :S

[musicResistances]

I think the longest recorded note of Matt is in the song "Jimmy Kane" , the last vocal note which lasts for around 32 seconds..However i could be wrong because between those seconds an effect is applied on the voice and it continues backrounds so he could maybe stop it before the change and continue with the effect , or he could aplly he effect while singing...dunno

[VFDbranch13]

Crazy........... Matt is a fucking god.

[linkinparkfan0459]

this isnt scream..

[Yourlipsaremydrug]

se ve la bandera de chile ! :D

aaay me emocione :') XD

matt es unico, es un genio , gran voz

[LoveConnieAndTH]

How many liters of air do you think he can hold in his lungs ?!

[boring1231]

But make it 19. ;)

[Mall0ryC]

@StealthSniper405 Nope 18 because I started counting from 1 and there is 1 second between 0-1! Don't worry you're not the only one who thought that. ;D

[Coleine]

@StealthSniper405 No 18 seconds... People often forget that they should start counting at 0... not at 1... From the start at 0 seconds to 1 second takes 1 second... And the maker of this nize vid started at 1 (the moment Matthew started singing/screaming) But at the and he solves this by taking a whole second extra time when the clock shows 18''

[neilgodfreyy2k]

@StealthSniper405 yeah you cock

[MrGeewiz1]

@StealthSniper405 The 1st second started too early though

[unintenedilovu]

Matt Bellamy is truly amazing and will have s place in my heart forever love you matteh xx

[FretsonFireMuse]

I like how the bpm of the song perfectly matches the timer

[dropandlongD]

Maynard James Keenan in The Grudge > this :O

[TheEndOfTime101]

Epic

[thejanuarychild]

So either that wasn't as scream-y as I thought it'd be, or I'm going deaf from blasting Muse for several hours straight. Worth it? Most definitely.

[CrazyBlonde13]

8"D

[unintenedilovu]

wooooh thats well cool xxx

[muser098]

Holy BEEEEEEEEEP! O__________________O

[zcguitar]

woo, i got to 14 seconds then it nolonger sounded like a was singing, more like i was in pain lol Matt is awesome xD

[callypee]

This is Prague, a B-Side of the Resistance single, the picture itself is from Glastonbury 2010, but I believe they never played it live at Glasto

[pacodvinci]

??? i Have this concert and not see this part.

[Mall0ryC]

@pacodvinci The part in which they played Prague? > They didn't play it.

The part in which this picture was taken? United States of Eurasia I guess.

... :)

[pacodvinci]

@pacodvinci Glastonburry 2010 song United States of Eurasia?

[JackJohnson6010]

i felt out of breath just listening too it

[pacodvinci]

Where the concert?

[Mall0ryC]

@pacodvinci Glastonbury!

[pacodvinci]

@Mall0ryC Glastunbury 2010?

[Mall0ryC]

@pacodvinci Yes.

[slipknotmaggot4eva1]

I think Jeff Buckley hits a note for 23 seconds in Hallelujah. Matt is still a God though.

[marianaadinis]

omg :o

quee vozeirão que ele tem :$

[PunksOfNature]

wasnt it actually 19 seconds? considering hes finished with a kind of vocal flourish, as it were?

[Mall0ryC]

@PunksOfNature This is an editing error: the counting starts at 1 second and does not include the first second, so the scream lasts 18 seconds though. Sorry if that was misleading.

[PunksOfNature]

@Mall0ryC nah s'ok :) power to you and matt :P

[cilalany]

@Mall0ryC

is there any recording of him doing this live? that would be even better :)

[Mall0ryC]

@cilalany Oh yes I agree with you but they never played it live. :(

[cilalany]

@Mall0ryC

I didn't mean this special song, it could be from any other :)

Unfortunately the one time I saw him (them) live, was just a festival, not a big concert. And I can't remember whether he's screamed this long or not :)

[Mall0ryC]

@cilalany Ok :)

[13comic13]

18 seconds, how can he breath?

[cpriicorn]

That sure is an 18-inch scream right there.

[BeatDemon08]

Lmao Supermassive thumbs up... Just for that i'm giving a thumbs up

[TheChickenMan09]

what the fuck?

[LilyTheAnnoyance]

Dude, you have to BREATHE! I don't want Matt to suffocate to death :(

[randomguy123ish]

Thumbs up for EPIC Muse b-sides ;) 

[pluginbaby2799]

I couldn't breath from hearing this

[MaYiT0KeTZeR]

I guess it's in 15

I need overcome

[marinadommehmuser]

i guess it's 19''!

[olgaeft]

I've got a sore throat out of hearing this

[arsenaljc]

Not a scream dude he's singing with his chest voice, thats not the same as screaming

[sippe555]

@arsenaljc So are you saying that screaming can't be in chest voice? :p

[MzJollett]

DAMNNN!!

[tsias10]

@Mall0ryC what???

[tsias10]

isnt in plug in baby the longest scream??

[thecrismaster099]

i want to hear this song in my funeral

[xheartsrecycled]

Unique.

[haven1996]

'Prague' is awesome, Matt is awesome, and his scream is awesome.

Yeah, eargasm ;D

[rockerpunK0]

I think that was techincally 19 seconds or 18.5:)

[night00glider]

I search 18 seconds scream in utube and I though this is chester from linkinpark .. Well he did scream 18 seconds

[Qwerds95]

I have the same pair of pink jeans he's wearing :)

[musicResistances]

which song is this?

[Mall0ryC]

@musicResistances "Prague", the Resistance single b-side. ;)

[TheFritz92]

Too bad this song is dreadful D: Muse are good, but this one made me ears bleed.

[EvilAznTeddybear]

I already have every Muse song :p

[RogueLeprechaun979]

i have made a list of every muse song i dont have and i WILL find them. ALL of them. i love muse that fricken much. it is my goal to have every muse song and i will accomplish that. :) wish me luck

[supermassiveXdream]

Amazing!! His voice is so perfect and beautiful in this song and the lyrics are so amazing and perfect!! This song matches with me because I lost a friend a couple of weeks ago and when I listen to this song, I think of him and I feel glad that I had the chance to meet him. Muse is amazing!! :D

[TheCookieMonsterPie]

I can do that....I just choose not to. :P

[Mall0ryC]

10.000 views! Thankss everyone!!!

[LeniInChains]

and it breaks my heart...

[SaintUdnitz]

what's up with all these "I CAN DO THIS" comments??

No one ever said this is the longest note he CAN do, it is just the longest note he DID. gosh...stupiditiy all over the muse community...what a shame.

btw: isn't the scream in "shrinking universe" longer than 18 seconds?
