I'll never understand how anyone could dislike Muse...the drama and dream-like quality of their compositions...truly magical and just takes my breath away
pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii I mean it's not as good, but it's still good. No need to hate on something different. And besides you don't need to like it, but don't say it's awful, have you listened to any modern pop? I think Simulation Theory is better than a lot of pop music nowadays. Of course that's not my place to judge lol
Muse. So many complex, differently styled songs. Matt B's a musical genius and the band is so tight. A pleasure for the last 20 years or so. A band that has so many quality songs. No throw away songs from these guys. This is what I appreciate the most and similar in this way, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, Rush, and many others. Greatness and consistency!
I can understand why people love Plug in Baby, Hysteria and other songs that throw the entire stadium out of the window. But dang, Sing for Absolution is such an underrated gem.
Muse changed my perspective on music and had a profound impact on my life. I still remember where I was when I fist heard this playing on the radio. (Triple J in Australia)
That distortion you notice is when the sound guy actually turns the levels up on his mic, its so the mic itself creates that distortion because he is actually maxing out the volume level with him singing that close to it to cause a muffled type of distortion, he is pretty much using the mic as both a mic and an effect. He also does it by singing pretty far away from the mic sometimes and then just swallows the mic to get the effect. People always wonder why they can hear his breath so well, thats why he is super close to the mic with no wind sock on it because he uses every sound all his equipment can make. In other words Matt Bellamy is a musical genius and it very much shows, since he is literally inventing his way of singing and a lot of his techniques would make a person shy away from them, he is turning what most say are ugly sounds/ unwanted sounds into something beautiful. He is probably one of the most revolutionary musicians to date.
Underrated? They've sold over 35 million records, they sell out stadiums and arenas around the world... They're one of the most famous rock bands nowdays.
@@dalianmoya They have so many good influences like Queen, a bit of Pink Floyd, Rage Against The Machine, Nirvana, Jeff Buckley or some classic composers too and all together in Muse. They're the only one modern band that still gives me goosbumps. And sorry If sound dense to you it was not my intention. ☺
Dalian Moya your first comment is meaninglessness if you are saying they sound like other bands due to influences.... every band has influences that’s how music is made.
I'm not that big a fan of this song on the album (though it's one of my favorite albums) but for whatever reason, it works so much better live. Every live performance of it I have seen has been great.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed this, but I love how in the song "Time is Running out", Matt takes a deep inhale after every line. He's such a strong vocalist
I never understood Muse - I thought they were just overproduced and trying too hard - until I (I'm ashamed to say) reluctantly went to see them live with my then-boyfriend. Suddenly it all made sense! I can't get enough of them now. Matt Bellamy is one of the best singers I've heard live. And they are all incredible musicians. I loved watching your reaction to this because it's exactly how I was reacting!
I hear muse everyday and they give beautiful music in simplicity. Each instrument in the band doesnt complicate its parts rather than keep them simple and put this kind of divine harmony between each single note. I love them with their music they will never die.
Muse... the name it's so perfect for this band... my favorite band, the singer that made me love music and go ahead with singing and learning guitar... and then piano... it's thanks to them
Matt is brill for that talk box distortion.. The end of the song muscle museum has a vocal solo that sounds like a guitar but its just his voice through guitar affects.. Its so cool
I've listened to a couple of your vocal evaluations of Muse. I LOVE hearing you break it down. I subscribed because of this video. You bring the songs to life in a way I never heard. Wonderful.
This very makes me so happy. The way you get so excited is so adorable. The analysis almost makes me cry because the way Muse first hit me was captivating. You were dead on the way he produces this “ dream like” state with everything incorporated into one to resonate with each other. More simply put, Muse is the band that plays in the background of life and makes everyone stop what they’re doing to listen. The world sat still when I first listened to Muse as if it were a spell cast on my ears. Many comparisons to Buckley and Mercury and Yorke but Matt Bellamy truly is his own breed and Muse are their own kind.
I LOVE Muse, one of the BEST bands in the world! Matt Bellamy is a towering genius! For me, Muse and the Furs are the two best bands in the world right now.
It’s crazy how the crowd is just as loud as Matt during the chorus. I can only imagine the feeling of standing on stage and hearing a giant crowd sing the lyrics back to you.
Seen Muse april 4th in Detroit. was one of the best shows I've seen. I've seen many. and when I say many, I really mean 25+ years of concerts. to me Muse and Rush have many things in common, but sound isn't one. love that band!
Thi salbum and tour was Muse at their finest in my opinion. Got to see them 3 times on this tour and so greatful for it !! WIll never forget these shows.
First and for most, Beth your awesome... I saw them live in NY and they were AMAZING .. Music was spectacular and the light show was mind blowing .. Make sure you see them live if and when you can...
Matt Bellamy has such a distinct and wonderful voice that fits the music perfectly. Another brilliant vocalist I haven't seen mentioned is Mike Patton. His discography and range is incredible. Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Fantomas, Mondo Cane are just some of his bands.
"He sounded like he had a distortion on the end there" - that's because there is a distortion on the vocal input kicking right at that moment up till the end of the song. One thing which only few people are aware of is Muse is 3 guys band (4 now) but some of their songs have more instruments than 3 (4) - How do they do it? Backing tracks? Meeeh, what about programming some midi devices instead, some arpeggios for example or maybe percussion here and there or couple of strings? Get some timer, so everyone is in sync and... let the show begin! Muse use effects and technology to enrich their performance like getting orchestra or other things you might not notice, but would immediately feel are missing if they weren't there... That's magic too...
The funniest thing is that he did not had vocal lessons until this point Another band that works like that is Esben and the Witch. I'd love you to review them, especially songs like No dog or Dig your Fingers.
indeed been muse fan since 2006..the band is highly talent wise & experienced....matt over the years since 2004 his voice is been better & better....also on the guitar....piano was always as good as it is....perfect....
I’ve watched quite a few of these “vocal coach reacts to ...” videos on TH-cam. Honestly for the most part I find them obnoxious and self-indulgent, but this is the first one I’ve ever seen that I’ve felt is both a good vocal breakdown of the song, and one where I feel like I’ve actually learned quite a bit along the way.
I feel that Matt "plays" his vocal instrument in a very similar way to how he plays his guitar - with all the slides, vibrato and distortion etc. He's a flippin genius! 😄
tellement heureuse de les avoir vu..jai envie de pleurer a chaque fois que jy pense, quand le concert etait fini, mon homme a du me prendre dans les bras comme si cetait un membre de la famille qui partait...dailleurs,apres 20 ans dattente, cetait comme rencontrer des potes
Man I enjoyed this reaction! I love the insights you give on Matt's vocal techniques. Mind if you give Showbiz Live from Reading 2006 a chance? He goes INCREDIBLY high at the end. Also Survival Live from Rome. Cheers!
Those first four Muse albums are unbeatable. I've not been too fond of anything after that, though. I think the days of them writing songs like 'Plug In Baby' or 'New Born' are long gone.
Id personally put the album Resistance in there as well. Exogenesis Symphony is a masterpiece and I honestly don't think there is an extremely weak track on that disc. 2nd Law, Drones and Simulation Theory are not that good comparatively. There is a few decent songs between those 3 however.
You're great. The things you pick up on... but then I'm not a vocal coach! But your analysis makes me love the band more as you understeer the professional side of the performance.
I don't understand how he can play such complex stuff on the guitar *AND* sing with such complexity at the same time. I've never understood that. lol Edit: Let me rephrase that. *IMPROVISE* such complex stuff (even).
@@chrisvenn4827 good is a huge understatement, you're gonna have the time of your life. I know I did! Saw them March 11 and they blew my mind, I just miss them so much now 😫💔

I can understand why people love Plug in Baby, Hysteria and other songs that throw the entire stadium out of the window. But dang, Sing for Absolution is such an underrated gem.
I think it's enough to deal with
Absolution is one of the most beautiful albums ever made.
also Origin and Black Holes.
I don't want to rank either of those as number 1
Muse changed my perspective on music and had a profound impact on my life. I still remember where I was when I fist heard this playing on the radio. (Triple J in Australia)
muse impacted me too in the first listening, it was new born, I was like THE FUCK IS THIS?
Mine was Super Massive Black Hole. Life changing.

@@kemuelchavarria805 still they rarely get mentioned in mainstream for being the most talented band of this age.
underrated?!
Underrated? Speak for yourself
@@LibertyDinono mainstream
Frankly, Matt Bellamy is one of the greatest vocalists in the world, and one of the best of this century.
Matt Bellamy's voice never fails to give me chills, he's amazing.
I'm a big muse fan as well. There's just no one else who sounds like them.
but they sound like a lot of other artists, that’s for sure.
@@dalianmoya Say other band that created similar songs to Space Dementia, Citizen Erased, Butterflies & Hurricanes, Showbiz 😀
Pedro Miguel of course they have songs that don’t sound like anyone else. if you weren’t so dense, you’d understand what heavy influences they have.

It's pretty much in every song - at a certain point I couldn't unhear them anymore 😅
It perfectly fits that particular song because the lyrics talk about feeling asphyxiated.
I never understood Muse - I thought they were just overproduced and trying too hard - until I (I'm ashamed to say) reluctantly went to see them live with my then-boyfriend.

They are one of those very rare bands that are often actually better live than in the studio.
Matt's voice has accompanied me in the best and worst moments of my life. He is simply amazing. Thank you for this
I hear muse everyday and they give beautiful music in simplicity. Each instrument in the band doesnt complicate its parts rather than keep them simple and put this kind of divine harmony between each single note. I love them with their music they will never die.
I feel like Matt Bellamy can do many genres, pop, rock, opera - his voice is so versatile.

You would love Muse - the handler, live at roskilde, unreal.
aaaah Muse, that takes me back. Showbiz and Origin of Symmetry was on repeat for over a year :-)
Matt is brill for that talk box distortion.. The end of the song muscle museum has a vocal solo that sounds like a guitar but its just his voice through guitar affects.. Its so cool
Muscle Museum is my favorite song from them. So freakin bizarre, I love it.

I'd love to see you react to Muse performing Invincible live in Milan! It's an amazing vocal performance
Ryguypie17 yes please!
I've always enjoyed this band, never seen them live though... Bellamy is a hell of a singer! I really like his voice and style.
Matt Bellamy is such a powerhouse. I'm always blown away when he opens his mouth.
omg... in this live matt sounds like an angel ♥

Devin Townsend Project-Deadhead Live at Royal Albert Hall
@Mr. E I know, right?
I want"death of music "
Matt gives me goosebumps. Urgh.
Astonishingly good songs and probably the best live band ever
First and for most, Beth your awesome... I saw them live in NY and they were AMAZING .. Music was spectacular and the light show was mind blowing .. Make sure you see them live if and when you can...
Aaahh yes! I love love love Muse!!!
I loved this video. I loved how much you loved the song too!!! I'm using your analysis of Matt to help me create my next Muse cover.
Nice to have an expert confirm what I already knew--Matt Bellamy is a beast! :)
And I LOVE your reaction to Matt's voice beginning at 7:11 . I seem to "squee" often when listening to Muse :)
I love Muse and I love how you love them!!
Matt Bellamy has such a distinct and wonderful voice that fits the music perfectly.
Another brilliant vocalist I haven't seen mentioned is Mike Patton. His discography and range is incredible. Faith No More, Mr Bungle, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom, Fantomas, Mondo Cane are just some of his bands.
Bellamy is wonderful but I wouldn't call him unique. He's basically Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke.
And recently, Mike Patton in "DEAD CROSS"
Chris Cornell is a legend, Beth should make a video about him.
Beth if you read this message... :)
Hey! Here is my reaction to Thom: th-cam.com/video/dHvJeCdrXlg/w-d-xo.html
One of few bands in the world that can work a crowd in concerts😃they are awesome
Thank you for this reaction video beth, I like you even more now. Muse is just brilliant.
I'd be curious to see what you think of Thom York or Jeff Buckley. If you do Buckley, do Mojo Pin from Glastonbury in 1995
"He sounded like he had a distortion on the end there" - that's because there is a distortion on the vocal input kicking right at that moment up till the end of the song.

What is your opinion on The Dark Side from their new album? I think that the vocals are really high in this song.
It is my favourite from Simulation Theory! :)
Name another band that can do as many genres so well, and play live so well. They are literal geniuses.
Hahaha, I love the intro, expecially the fun rawr~ Also, new background! Looks good.
I love Muse, it's one of those bands who are a lot better live and their shows are great. I am curious what do you think of Nothing But Thieves.
The funniest thing is that he did not had vocal lessons until this point

I'd love you to review them, especially songs like No dog or Dig your Fingers.
As usual, this was a wonderful start to my day. Your enthusiasm is infectious!
Fantastic video!
Would love to see you react to any of Susanne Sundfør's songs. I would recommend "The Brothel" or "Accelerate".

Been a fan of Muse since 2012.. Love love love Matt Bellamy 💕💕
