Muse playing Battle of the Bands 1994 - Pt. 1

[guitardeck]

seriously i can see the curt cobain attitude in matt and i think their music also quiet sound like nirvana too . i dont suprise if nirvana has influenced matt until these days :)

[jfv856]

This Band won' t go far.

[theitube101]

@jfv856 LOL Japs, your stealing this comment from some1 else xD

[basslover171]

CHRIS USING A PICK?!?!?!?!

[FatherFakkers]

This is the best thing with youtube! - The main reason it was made. To find all those things that was impossible to find when I was a kid.

[klotzinatorinho]

just wondering... what would the matt of these days say if you would say to him: "Hey! One day you will impragnate a hollywood actress!"

[TheIzabot]

Listening to this, I can so easily now understand Muse's history. They went from this underground, trashy sound, and it evolved over time. You can hear it in Showbiz and Origin. And it's changed into the beautifully harmonious, yet still exciting, Muse of late.

[zulafiq40]

so its not rocket baby doll?

[Mr757dude]

@zulafiq40 it was that, this was their first gig as muse

[abdulhaniff95]

from the battle of the bands to the battle of gods..

they always the best!! <3 u MUSE

[mikedunn69]

I've uploaded the full version of this gig, can't post the link so check my vids. Miky

[devinslevin]

And thus, MUSE was created.

[fantaXDaddict]

I'm surprised Matt didn't do shampoo adverts

[JohnOnik3]

I can't see what for has music become some sort of instrument of sport. I blame the people who started competitiveness within our globe modern society and its the fault of every spectator. I don't think the Beatles were trying to brainwash their fans into being anti-loving, pro-vanity, its too obvious to understand that society must find a more creative solution to its way of competition. Just remember to smile at someone today. That will be a good start.

[TheTvrulesthenation]

This gives me hope that i could someday be as big & influential cause in fairness they're pretty shite here by and large just like me :P

I'd love to be able to tell them back then ''come 2008 or so you guys are going to be one of the biggest rock band'' & see their reaction

[AndrevacVideos]

This isn't that Battle of the Bands that they won first because they played that under the name 'Rocket Baby Dolls'

[musicResistances]

@ 2:15 Matt's like a rat .... :)

[fede018]

nowadays everybody talk about how they were fans before twilight, but those are true OF (original fans)

[starletsummer]

[tahak1993]

[ChizoMuser]

[Elnombredemiusuario]

[Meggiess101]

[EmilyAE19]

OH MY GOD HAAAHHAHAHA I love when matt starts jumping up and down at 2:32. ahhhh i love muse an indescribable amount.

[minicluer]

[ccarolcardoso]

[R70Joe]

[dheMuze]

[dheMuze]

@knetterwauz010 glastonbury 2011? Muse wasn't there LOL!

[alvinissimo7]

Rick: "Hey Pat, look at this silly Nirvana impersonator!"

Pat: "Rick, that's Muse, your favourite band"

Rick: "WHAT??!!"

[TheTelepathetics]

Watch this video... then watch them play "knights of cydonia" live at wembley stadium in 2007

Funny how life works like that.

[maryjanesoares]

[chambirla]

[lallilia]

<3 MUSE <3

[LunaStar2323]

@baranflake they won :)

Anyone know what song they're playing? D: I can't tell :P

[OnlyInsanelyObsessed]

Matt's hair is amazing. He should do it like that again. Seriously, I adore it <3

[xxwantedxx]

the show that started it all!!!

[MysteryThalia]

Huh. Matt's done well for himself since then.

[ROMY1263]

rifan!

xD

hahaha!

[baranflake]

do you know if they won the battle of the bands?

[Clairalli]

@baranflake Yes of course they did ^^

that's why they're as famous as now^^

it's because of this battle^^

they won it because they were differents from the other groups ^^

they had black make up, and didn't do covers like 'bout all the groups there^^

there's an interview (and not only 1^^) where Matt explains all^^

[baranflake]

@Clairalli cool thanks :)

[GreenDayandMuse]

any one what songs were they playing?

[suirall]

@GreenDayandMuse the songs that they are playing now where so early on that they were never recorded sory mate

[GreenDayandMuse]

@suirall ohh.. too bad but cheers ;)

[youcantmakeit]

Woww, it could just be the poor audio quality, but matt's voice sounds like shit!! It's weird to believe how much his voice improved since then, as he's one of my favorite vocalist.

[lilbullet111]

I would give my left eyebrow to have been there.

[elementos94]

Matt's wearing a floppy lego man hair!

[ysfnvji]

matt kinda looks like willy wonka in this XD

[scottymatty123]

Oh look, it's Kurt Cobain.

[EhyoWassap]

@MyTipsStardoll nothing

[gerardswife4]

I was born when this was occurring, I was praticaly born into Muse.

[EliExtraordinary]

this is sort of overwhelming. just look at them. 3 damn kids no one probably even thought twice about, and look at them now. sold out shows, headlining festivals, and wembley fucking stadium. makes momma damn proud. <3

[TheGrouse42]

Those fans should chill out...just a bit.

[RuledbySecrecy84]

I want to marry Matt's hair!! <3

[hollium]

They would ahve been about 15 here, bless 'em

[KristineMendoza13]

I can't believe Matt used to have long hair it's pretty old style but cool though

[ClickChase]

thankyou for the great video and the intresting description really amazing how they improved so much!

[jwalsh8]

is it just me or is there always two wierd metal head kids with long hair at every local pub gig moshing on their own.

[gramps86]

Matt Cobain ..?

[HohMahGawd]

@gramps86 ahahaha i think cutting his hair was one of the steps to fame....

Comming to earth on his giant space ship shaped like a mansion guitar was a big step too

[EP1CSR00MAGE]

sorry to be a pedant, but in the battle of the bands weren't they still rocket baby dolls?

[FretsonFireMuse]

@EP1CSR00MAGE That was their first Battle of the Bands where they won at the start of the year. This was at the end of the year, and they had already changed their name to Muse. In this gig they didn't win.

[TheOnlyOwnage91]

0_0 matt? is that you?

[PS3rapesXBOX]

from 3 to 3 million

[metalmn11]

wow!! they´re before and now the same!!

[AliasLykken]

Muse played for 5 secs, and they already had 2 crazy fans, wow

[MarianCarter12]

Chris was so skinny.. now he's all manly! :D

[barnslave]

Wow. Dom has certainly improved since then. Lol!

[FrizzyIzzychicken]

AHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM! They are true musicians if they have been playing that long, i bet they never expected that one day theyd'e be the best band in HISTORY (besides the beatles:) )

[274blake]

Matt's hair :D :D

[TR3YTURNR]

@theoxiiii I liked moving pictures better than a farewell to kings.

[agentaquarius11]

I ment he looks just like him lol

[agentaquarius11]

Matthew los just like jimbo, The bully from the simpsons l

[knetterwauz010]

Clearly influenced by early Radiohead... when that band still rocked an kicked ass...

Hope that MUSE does't end like Radiohead...

[Uzzie101]

@knetterwauz010 What one poor album an they're the worst band in the world? In Rainbows was their best, easily.

[knetterwauz010]

@Uzzie101

Radiohead began as a proper rockband, now it's al lame shit.

Were are the genius guitar riffs like in Paranoid Android?

[Uzzie101]

@knetterwauz010 "ohh uhhh it isn't rock music!" grow up will ya, get some diversity into your taste. only liking rock is as boring and stupid as the people who only listen to techno or pop or whatever, there so much good music out there. Classical, jazz, blues, pop, rock, electronic, why dismiss any of them when they all have great music?

[knetterwauz010]

@Uzzie101

I like techno, I like jazz, blues, classical, and even pop.

But I do not like bands that grow from rock into wining wee wee bands

[Uzzie101]

@knetterwauz010 Whining wee wee bands? Look, their new album sucks but In Rainbows trumps anything they did in the 90s musically, Kid A is one of the greatest albums of all time... whats the problem? One poor album and they're the worst band going? Cop on.

[knetterwauz010]

@Uzzie101

Watch their concert 'Live at Astoria 1994' and then watch their concert at Glastonbury 2011...

They lost their rock...

I bet because they are to busy concerning about trees and seals.

Don't say that theu matured because a lot of bands that rocked in the 90's still kick ass today.

[theoxiiii]

@Uzzie101 I think Kid A is mediocre. OK Computer is one of my favorite albums of all time though.

[Uzzie101]

@theoxiiii OK Computer is one of the greatest of all time, I agree.

[theoxiiii]

@Uzzie101 But Origin of Symmetry is the best of all time, with "A farewell to kings" by Rush and "Loose Dirt" by Klaypex fighting over no.1

[Uzzie101]

@theoxiiii I haven't listened to the last one! Thanks for the tip..

[Uzzie101]

@theoxiiii I haven't listened to the last one! Thanks for the tip..

[LittleNICKYYYY]

this was filmed with a cabbage

[MrFootballer360]

@LittleNICKYYYY i agree with james nesbit here.

[guilhermenight]

Fumaça neles!

[yadiliz6]

nice! inspiration for Alam Koo !!!

[CrypticWand621]

Where can I buy this on iTunes

And btw, they were the Rocket Baby Dolls.

[madbob73]

@CrypticWand621 Not this battle of the bands fella...

[CrypticWand621]

@madbob73 In 1994 the band used the name Rocket Baby Dolls[12] with a goth/glam image to compete in a local battle of the bands. The band won the contest, smashing their equipment in the process.[13][14]

That was from the wiki. They were the Rocket Baby Dolls. They changed it later after the contests when they started becoming famous.

[madbob73]

@CrypticWand621 You can quote wiki all you like, there was more than one battle of the bands. The one quoted in wiki is earlier than this. They are clearly introduced as 'Muse' here.

[madbob73]

@CrypticWand621 You can quote wiki all you like, there was more than one battle of the bands. The one quoted in wiki is earlier than this. They are clearly introduced as 'Muse' here.

[CrypticWand621]

@madbob73 Yes, but they didn't even have the name until 95, so obvoiusly there's something wrong with this video.

[GregTom2]

If they became muse, then anyone can become a great band.

[cruzlove0147]

haha NIce, Lucky those in the crowd, Now we find ourselves surrounded by an endless ocean of fans with these guys!!! thats what i love about MUSE!!! Been together for so long and thats what makes them stronger as a band and as brothers!!! Captivated me since i was 14 and i couldnt be any happier, Muse has made me the person i am today!

[Carthsgtr]

@cruzlove0147

What, a pompous dumbass? Muse have gotten worse.

[JulianHyde88]

Nice pullover sweater, matt...

[ZomfgRofLmfaoLWtfBbq]

his hair looks so damn smooth!! o-O

[xovbalsweetieox]

Ha! that is one lame battle of the bands but look where they ended up!!! Haha amazing!

[PS3rapesXBOX]

from 3 to 3 billion

[pbalaazs]

Grunge sound!!!!



[eduardopescado]

HI SAM AND LUKE

[kylewise14]

[zarstep]

[Redfield67]

Haha this is awful, bet the band couldn't bear to watch this now! Well funny

[Layherdown13]

[AnnaTheMuseFreak]

[SuperMiserableGirl]

[winxclubpug]

I wouldnt be surprised if Matt did shampoo ads.

[superknightofcydonya]

[tulti1983]

after that they sell their souls and get talent

[tulti1983]

jajajaj el publico moviendo la mata

[GleekyStarlight]

It's so crazy hearing Matt's voice coming out of this kid, pretty much, with a massive jumper and long silky locks.

LOVE IT!

[museicfan756]

It's so weird to think they were making great music like this before I was born...

[Nefi424]

i want that song...

[seaag]

Matt is sporting such a 90's hair cut / jumper haha.

[L0LHAH]

EPIC Mathew has the he-man haircut! ohhh yeahhhhh!!

[ellelaby123]

wtf is wrong with his voice lmfao

[L0LHAH]

@ellelaby123 i dont think its mathew

[michaelvd0wnzu]

@ellelaby123 your voice changes you know

[rockerpunK0]

Matts voice ? LMAO

[bgergelyvideo]

Ez nem semmi... Akkor még 2 ember tombolt rá... most meg vagy 3-400.000 ember, ha lenne akkora csarnok. Tavaly a Szigeten az első sorban voltam... Kegyetlen, szaggató volt... Az a nap nekem ÖRÖK ÉLMÉNY :)

[MusicIsFit]

Matt's hair. Oh my fucking god. <3

[pollytoffeefudge]

Tom said on twitter he remembers that but he refused to comment on if one of the headbangers was him...LOL!

[bibemuma]

sounds like nirvana, lol

[bananahammockohyeah]

Thumbs up who wants Matt to grow his hair again...Aww, silky smooth!

[Noisesickjs100]

This.....sounds pretty cool actually!

[actiment]

Hi Miky, Love the strange things vid you made. great song :)

[wongpaksum]

hey who's that bassist? that's not Chris right?!

[blendoutt]

@wongpaksum it is :L

[ryanp167]

Um, doesn't like every piece of media relating to Muse say they changed their name to Muse AFTER the battle of the bands? Yet the guy at the start calls them Muse.

[Curbulpl0x]

@ryanp167 Um, dont you realize that this isnt that show but in fact a totally different performance that took place well after the 'rocket baby dolls' show. check Muse-wiki. please

[Boabywankenobi]

Matt Bellamy looks like Leo Messi here....



[YOmama30255]

If only they knew that 16 years later they would be one of the best bands in the world! Playing in stadiums with thousands of fans and headlining major festivals!

[randomisright]

i love matt's little mini spaz attacks throughout the video

[Jontotherescue96]

they might aswell be called 'the harmonics' lmao

[olives90]

matt has the softest looking shiniest hair in the world. damn.

[MrArthurTs]

his voise has not changed! :o

[RockMyStripySocks]

this makes me happy. and makes me wish i was there from the very, very beginning

[GreenDayandMuse]

whats song is this?

[BerriMuse17]

Can anyone hear the making of Dead Star @ 1:20 ? or is it just me?

[AlertTheSane]

This video gives all teenage bands hope.

[scdjkg]

They weren't Muse yet, so why did that guy call them Muse??? So confused...

[MrGeewiz1]

@scdjkg This was their first ever performance as a band together and as Muse. They hadnt joined long before this but were Rocket Baby Dolls only for a short period

[scdjkg]

@MrGeewiz1

Oh...Thank u!

[alexa7628]

que feo se ve matt con el pelo largo

[11Kellend]

This is hilarious

[RecreationalCarrot]

Erm, why didn't the guy call them the Rocket Baby Dolls? This can't be real...

[MrDragonmovie88]

look at matt's haircut^^

[ToiletZacke]

This couldn't have been '94. since their name wasn't Muse by then. They were called Rocket Baby Dolls.
