Muse playing Battle of the Bands 1994 - Pt. 4

[missdouchebag100]

just how bad were the others?!!!!

[noodlum93]

If a band entered a talent show with something like that today, they'd be tossed out. I've seen it :/ Sad times.

[nazzik112358]

this song should be on the sixth album) pure energy_

[gabbyakabaggy]

I wonder if Tom Kirk was one of those headbangers....

[ZNkolaZ]

4:06 EPIC!

[KeTeVemCovers]

Those first 3 fans they gainde should have been famous

[KeTeVemCovers]

@KeTeVemCovers gained*

[AxisBelgium]

This is unique man, i've heard about this gig in a few interviews and stuff and I never thought that anyone would have recorded and, not to mention it being uploaded to youtube

THANK YOU

[blender3dPy]

4:39, still can't imagine they were ordinary like that (

[AlphonseAdv]

some people watching Matt would say "those jumps at the end are stupid" I would say "that's Matt. bitch"

[superherom03]

ah at 4:00 I was like Oh theres our boys.

[franklyamy]

this track probably contains more obvious muse components than any of the other tracks on this gig- my fave of the four tracks on this set - and was best received by the look of it

[xRubfatboyrun]

those guys were head banging before it was popular!!!

[PS3rapesXBOX]

THERES HOPE FOR ALL TEENAGE BANDS!!

[Dannypanify]

Lol the smoke.

[syncopedesigns]

thanks so much for sharing this

[AmazingVideosStudio]

How did Avril Lavigne in the early days get more views than this stuff?

[NATGofficial]

The drums sound kinda like Uprising

[MrSirButters]

*first 3 minutes* "is that really muse?"

*last 2 minutes* "definitely muse."

[scdjkg]

4:07 that's when I knew it was Matt. :P

[theconcertking69]

the second that time travel is invented the first thing i will do is become the fourth headbanger

[SavedandSound]

This is kind of freaking me out...I feel like I'm watching history in the making and seeing the future while living in the present. And I swear I'm not on anything, lol.

[thecrismaster099]

fuck slipknot those guys over there are the best headbangers ever

[mygreenmuse]

Those 3 guys dancin' infront are the best! ROLF

[MuseAppleAddict]

Yeaah they did win because of their madness! x) Vive MUSE!

[CatieLouiseT]

I dont knowif anyones asked this already but did they actually win?/ LOVE MUSE!!! xx

[PlugedInBaby]

@CatieLouiseT Guys they didn't win this contest! This battle of the bands is after the good one, the one they won.

[MuseICxfuhnatic]

the two people that disliked this are the ones that are raging with jealousy that they weren't the ones headbanging

[Tiasmud]

lol :p now math is so peaceful :p

[BraceletAccumulatrT2]

I would love if they suddenly brought out a piano and started playing "united states of eurasia"

[twimatt]

Before the gig, these girls dressed the band's members up as well as applying makeup on them. Additionally, the band's members organised their friends to come in during the performance to invade the stage. At the end of their performance, Bellamy started smashing the equipment they were using, which didn't belong to any of the band's members. As a result, a security guard pulled him off stage, only for him to escape the guard's grasp and continue.

found this on musewiki xD

[madbob73]

@twimatt not this gig though, as they were performing here as Muse. The story you tell is a previous battle of the bands when they were still rocket baby dolls

[Reddog785]

@twimatt Wrong gig: That was Teignmouth Broadmeadow Centre. This is a battle later the same year in Torquay.

[gigush]

4:00, matt trashing for the first time.

[gigush]

Oh the 90s, when long hair was awesome at rock shows :D

[mastertric]

hahahahaha CRAZY 4:07

[filesunavailable]

so did they win?

[musicResistances]

@filesunavailable yeap ;P

[Sol0tone]

@filesunavailable Yeah they actually did.

[fariskinggeorge]

from 3 to 3 billion

[xandeer18]

Nirvana much?

[BIGpav018]

@xandeer18 Kind of, Nirvana had a great influence on Bellamy.

[Darthlisp]

@xandeer18 they were crazy about them at the time, people say they were about radiohead but thats not really true. they were really into nirvana and rage against the machine

[apocalypsepleez]

Damn, that girl has a pretty voice.

[Scorch1494]

@Reddog785 Oh ok ty

[unitedteddys]

ITS FAKE GUYS.

PAY ATTENTION IN MUSE CLASS.

THEY WERE CALLED ROCKET BABY DOLLS WHEN THEY WERE IN THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS.

[KesObsessed]

@unitedteddys

I thought the same thing at first, but for goodness sake, look closer. If that's not Matt, I don't know who is. That's 100% Muse. And If you've seen the Part 3, then you'll know it too! Matt says: 'We haven't finished yet!!', and that's a really Matt thing to say! And, obviously, it's his voice as well. And if you've done your homework you'll know that Chris is wearing the Lemonheads t-shirt that he wore in Muse's first ever photo shoot. So, yeah, this is real. Why so cynical?

[presicrema]

@KesObsessed You are in the absolute truth! well.... this is not the real battle of the bands..... But is a early concert of Muse in Torquay, in 1994 in the first part, a announcer say ''Put your hands together and welcome band number three, Muse!''

[rawrsaidthemouse]

@presicrema AND, in THIS video, the anouncer/M.C. does mention that "the lads are from TEIGNMOUTH" Which is where Muse are from :D

[shootmybum]

did they win!?

[Scorch1494]

@shootmybum Yep I think they did, I saw an interview once where Matt says they did

[hullabaloowarior]

Sounds like Tokyo Hotel :D :D. Thank god Muse evolved into masterpiece!

[suzhymuser17]

we love u muse

[SenoraFabregas]

if i was performing with those 3 attrocious retards in front of me i wouldn't have been able to stop laughing.

[TheLoveIsForever97]

There's actually a boy at my school who really looks like the young Matt O_o

I actually try to avoid him or else i would be thinking about it all day long.,

[CalumJWatson]

i'm gonna try and get my band to cover this.....

[iammelion]

You can see traces of the current Matt in this, strangely. Like his mannerisms, at 1:19 for example. Just the way he leans back, bites his his lips, and bounces are really familiar.

And LOL at the coordinated jumping at 3:20

[YopaRainbow]

They kinda sound like Nirvana. Omg. I wasn't born back than... I have to say that I like this song! Matt and Chris are doing everything at the same time! And I love Matt's hair! <3 <3 <3 MUSE IS THE BEST BAND IN THE WHOLE EORLD!!!!!!!!

[YouSWETube]

The reason people don't headbang like that today? You can be captured in a pic doing it on FUCKING Facebook!

[Aviendhaha]

i thought they were playing plug in baby at first. lmao.

[Guaduldi]

that Red Mason Gilitterati looks reaally good........... why didn't they play Knights of Cydonia and win the Battle?? Why does Muse has a reaally huge stage, laser and lights when they can play with just 8 changing color lights?

[nyuuyoku]

Muse, all the way from Teignmouth! And they're off their heads!

[OhPleaseLikeYouCare]

If I saw a guy, that looks like Matt back than... I would ran away screaming.. xD

[MUSExxMDC]

@OhPleaseLikeYouCare Haha xD Yeah, maybe i would do that too... No maybe not, because he maybe would be like matt when he gets older! xD

[MUSExxMDC]

@OhPleaseLikeYouCare Haha xD Yeah, maybe i would do that too... No maybe not, because he maybe would be like matt when he gets older! xD I'm gonna look out for guys who looks like matt back than!

[KesObsessed]

Fucking mental. I love this band...

Inspirational - even then! lol

[KesObsessed]

Is it sad that I like this music??

[MathildeMuseBellamy]

@KesObsessed No, It's MUSE=D

[KesObsessed]

@MathildeMuseBellamy

lol Thank god! haha!

[KesObsessed]

Matt wasn't joking when he said it was quite good. I can't believe i even like muse's stuff from 1994! Jeez! You'd think being a fan for the past few years of my short life and listening to and loving every song of theirs i'd ever heard would be enough! Nope - i'm always searching for more! I'm so sad.

[thecitizenme]

who knows, who cares?!?!?......XD

[NewBorn6166]

I love how Matt just dives on Chris at the end. Genius! :D

[FlipGordon]

Big ass shirts lol

[TheMUSEicisnecessary]

Those headbangers made my day... ^^

[laurajayne1979]

Love this!

[UncleFerdinand]

I bet the next band " the leech" didnt know MUSE would win and eventually become one of the greatest bands on Earth...:)

[UprisingBliss]

these videos need more views. every Muse fan should see them!

[TombRaider1995]

Dammit, STFD already. Don't these people ever get head aches? How long can you head bang without passing out?!

[koalashooter1]

@TombRaider1995 dude, look at chris. he can headbang a whole concert and still slap some bad ass bass

[MrFartastic]

"They're called Muse and they're COMPLETELY OFF THEIR HEADS!" :D:D:D

[holden0001]

@MrFartastic nothing's changed

[loliver3]

@holden0001 except they're now too tame.

[TheJonathanPace]

Matt looks like an old lady! haha!

[SoupPresto]

1:26 - 1:30 looks like the light is shining from chris's brain!

[sukickwong]

@SoupPresto HAHHAH!! XD

[sukickwong]

@SoupPresto they couldn't afford to get the lighting (pyro) they needed...so chris offered to use the natural light from his brain.

[PuppyPom]

I'm so close to crying right now it's not even funny. 

[matatak94]

I just watched HAARP, and then I see this... I don't know what to say really..What a difference

[jkcheese]

Matt's singing is awesome, even though he's only 16 here. :D This is a banging tune, lol,

[litlemadguitarist]

WOW! Why cant ther be people like those headbangers around anymore!?

[Zuzulittle]

I wonder what those guys watching would say about them today.

[gattahavmuse]

matt soundss so different compared to nowadays and they have chanhged so much obviously...



[YouSWETube]

haha matt looks so fucking funny xD

[ljevo1234]

aha ive watched this like 10 times the tune is catchy aha MUSE!!!!!!!!!! :P

[muse54632]

Idk... They sounded pretty weird! WHen they started jumping, tht cracked me up!

[LauraSky1997]

that esteem! I was not born yet!!

[jamesclifford1994]

muse's first live video...wow

[CasualtyFan101]

"Are they lad or girls i dunno" "LADS!" haha xD

[laralike]

Ahh I cant stop laughing,,,,,,,stop.. I really cant do it any more :-) :-)

But I laugh with all my heart and love for MUSE.

[NatNat918]

god matt looks sexy here

[tweetgeneration]

Somebody HAS to show them these videos now. Their reaction would be priceless...

[Demon1579]

"They are completely off their heads."

*win*

so matt and chris were the same height once...

[wayloo18]

@Demon1579 matts still small enough to be picked up by chris though apparently :P

[muse03]

WHO KNOWS WHO DID I HEAR HIM SING???

[monkeystu52]

That's amazing. I am selling all my really rare muse CDs on ebay just now and it pains me. Some of them were really expensive when I bought them because they were imported. But I'm moving to Japan and need to raise the funds :( I love this band! although it's good to know that they were rubbish once too :P - gives me more faith in my old band!

[MeantIILive]

@monkeystu52 Don't sell your rare CD's man. Sell something else. Sell your body if you have to.

[monkeystu52]

@MeantIILive I've tried and failed to do that before!! it's not worth much! The CDs are listed and have only 2 days left. so it's too late to stop. but on the plus side they are generating a lot of interest. live albums.

[sparkish808]

Are Matt and Chris the same height here??? PRESH. <3

[zolosenssacion]

hahaha THE FIRS 3 FANS HAHAHA EPIC

[ani018]

i love this song:)

[Alternativa9]

Lol, Matt jumps on Chris XD

[temelkovv]

@NYDrummer16 But it's the famous Battle that gave them the jump :)

[musicResistances]

where did you find this staff...i bet even Matthew bellamy his self doesn't have this...lol

[AlfieD15]

i wonder if the people here knew that they were the first fans of one of the best bands in the world

[misslevine]

HAHAHAHA the hand bangers are tooo funny

[carlitosparanoico]

Pure Gold!!!

[GabrielitaNumero1]

it is hilarious. Who would have thought that inflicting whiplash onto yourself would be a cool thing in the nineties, LOL

[shadow21491]

quote'd

[jcravens073]

The 3 moshers and Matt and Chris deciding to jump up and down at the same time before going into Dom's Metalica moment is hilarious!

[jcravens073]

The beginning has the most Muse sound, but the singing is AWFUL! Who would guess the rock god Matthew Bellamy was ever unsure of himself! It just makes me love them more!

[Psykko911]

Love how there's 3 guys at the front (2 at first shup) moshpitting w/ themselves the whole time

XD could not stop laughing long enough to really hear this

[Faizeeism]

WOA - with the slighty old footage matt could be mistaken as a girl ! :p xx

[musejames93]

hahha matts hair!! total wow!!! epic footage!

[YouSWETube]

There were so low demands those days, wasn't it? Seems like that to me. You could wear almost whatever you want and sing and play like this and still be loved ;P if some band would appear like that they'de be taken for some real loosers, wouldn't they?

[longfang40]

probably why they've made it so far cos they didnt care what people thought...

[bobek3x]

@YouSWETube Well that was the style of the 90s. Of course they were brought as some loosers who just copy Nirvana and shit. But it takes time to be accepted.

[nimpo46]

@YouSWETube couldn't agree more

[YouSWETube]

Ah, I wish I was there :(

[misslevine]

hahahah epiiiic

[Klaudiator1]

those three guys headbanging at the front would be so proud right now. I would be.

[MuseICxfuhnatic]

@Klaudiator1 they could literally be the first Muse fans in history

[flatlus95]

@MuseICxfuhnatic sad think they've probably ODed and died a long time ago :P

[MsElectroMuse]

omg i wish i could have been born at that time and go to there first concert... totaly epic

[AmyJaynee]

:L

"all the way from teignmouth, andd they're completely off their heads"

i bet that guy didnt know how big and amazing they were gonna be...

haha it doesnt remark on the fact that they actually win :L

[shikouz]

Dreadful =)

[feedthekitty1]

Wow - it's amazing to see this footage. Only just heard them talking about this in an interview last month. Their very first gig! Thanks for posting :)

[randompersonism]

they look like homos.

who knew they would grow up and be the best band ever!!!!!!!

[technodream]

They sound like a bad Nirvana!

[MsCacaguete]

@ffantasia24: lol you're absolutly right. matt's just like an egyptian!!!!!

[Yattahable]

omg.. mattt has long hair !!!

[ljevo1234]

aha the first fans of muse

[stevenlp12]

@ljevo1234

haha i wonder if those people up in front of them still like muse to this day

[muse54632]

@ljevo1234 u got tht right! those head bangers looooove muse!

[MuseToYourEars]

Yup it seems matt throws himself with his guitar on, onto chris.

There's a lot of arms and legs flailing about wildly, then afterwards they emerge from the scene gracefully and as dignified as ever lol.

Loved watching all the parts, thanks a bunch for putting this up!!

Made my day, possibly even my week :D

[MuSeMaN1000]

does matt jump on chris???

[ffantasia24]

LOL oh my goodness...this is plain awesome..they actually quite good as a young band. Matt's hair makes him look like an egyptian or someone out of the bible haha

[19ZoSo93]

nice hair matt.. =D

Its cool to see how they went from that to playing sold out shows at Wembley.. Awesome band!

[Brandon18valensi]

they have only 3 people as crowd?

[PhatalPhury]

Is Bellamy playing a telecaster there?

[LadyZepp]

Hell yeah

[PhatalPhury]

Ahh thanks. :)

Still a guitar newb myself lol.

[Leftboy4]

Just incase Matt reads this: this is "mistress" not "leftboy" commenting...I think you're just as adorable then as you are now :)

[FretsonFireMuse]

Let's make a time machine and go back to see this in person.

Also, don't get this confused with the first battle of the bands they did as Rocket Baby Dolls, this time they didn't win and were called Muse. They got the name not much earlier

[loserism123]

LOL the guys infront have been headbanging from part 1 to part 4!

[ffantasia24]

Haha oh yea! Arnt they getting tired yet??XD

[MuseToYourEars]

@loserism123

Now that's what i call dedication :)

[Alliana0x]

Oh my dear lord.. I almost died when I saw his hair!!! LOLLLLLLLL Thanks so much for uploading this; just made my day! :)

[starlightlover3]

that stupid compared to how they play right now

[ThePeetoteFrany]

What?? Shut your mouth, just shut up you dirthy mouth right now!!

[DonnyNoir]

they were 16 moron

[andreatle]

Se llaman MUSE desde marzo de 1994, esta actuacion fue en noviembre de 1994 por ende ya se llamaban MUSE.

[krisskatemuse]

well dun to the dancers, well dun lads, or are they girls i duno hahaha

[OriginOfStarlight]

Does anyone know why the moderator said Muse instead of Rocket Baby Dolls?

[skazoomba]

the first name of Muse, are: Rocket Baby Dolls.

[OriginOfStarlight]

Yeah, I know that, but I am curious why that man said Muse back in 1994. Muse were called Rocket Baby Dolls in this competition.

[TravuhsWree]

Someone said this was a different gig...

[madbob73]

It was a different gig before this one - there were several 'battle of the bands' competitions - they're most definitely 'muse' in 1994

[joseherminios4]

4:07 hahahahahaa

[rockbloodyon]

The headbangers look like zombies XD

[OriginOfStarlight]

Yeah, they are really creepy! Everyone is sitting only those three guys are going insane xD

[deelenlildill]

probably one of the three guys going insane was morgan

*shakes head* I love the way you play! let me play with you!! *shakes head and goes insane*

LOL

[OriginOfStarlight]

And the other one was Kirky? xD

[jordankobalt520]

hahaha thats pretty messed up

[ollyollyolly]

i don't see that they've changed much.
