![MUSE - KILL OR BE KILLED [Official Music Video]║REACTION!](/img/n.gif)
The “fuck me sideways” killed me 😂😂
As an ex Death Metal guitarist in my teens I think this is fantastic, the guitar work is sensational but please please someone needs to notice how utterly precise the drumming is and the double bass work and triplicates are incredible. Incredible metal drummer, the initial snare was simply building it up.
We agree with pretty much everything you pointed out. And my reaction to the metal riff + solo was the same. Gave me chills, it has some magic
finally a reaction that had my exact reaction, i was walking home from work and listened to it for the first time and the bridge solo sections had me just stunned i was holding my head in my hands and started laughing cos i was just so happy and overwhelmed 😭
Matt was quoted saying it's the heaviest they've ever done. I don't have the technical knowledge as you do to music AT ALL but your reaction was great. I learn something everytime I watch you react to one of their songs. Thank you!
When you said “fuck me sideways” I felt that
This song is ripe for a "Grand Boss Omega" remix down the road. Something where they go overboard with the bass and add more crazy parts.
12:25 - yep that was pretty much my reaction when I heard that part for the first time
5:08 had the exact same reaction at that part, quintessential Muse right there
I always look forward to your reviews of muse. Kill or be killed is absolutely insane! As a muse fan I cannot wait for this album tour....every song so far is going to be brilliant live...well everything muse does is brilliant live. Thanks for a great review 😊
Lu et approuvé j'aimerais tellement pouvoir aller à au moins 1 concert et bien une grand groupe des génies brilliant talentueux phénomènal grandiose et Matt woww merci
'Fuck me sideways' ... Yes, exactly how I was when that chug came in, love it!
I love this song so much that I bought tickets to see them in July in Paris and October in London 2023 lol
Excellente analyse...
I love how you're analyzing and appreciating and critiquing parts as is expected and then you get to the chugging part and your jaw just drops and mind is blown. haha
17.46 - Gojira's Silvera.
Nice reaction, the middle part of the song is absolutely KILLER!
Subscribed! Deathstar and Stockholm Syndrome outro were their heaviest up until this, I think. Good call on that half time drum.. didn’t catch that until you pointed it out!
They play that sick metal middle riff as on outro riff during live shows, at least once I saw they did it in one video on youtube.
I had already seen several reactions but I was waiting for yours because I feel that it is more formal and serious
Great video! Thanks for not only the technical breakdown, but just sharing your genuine love for the band! And this track ROCKS!
Great analysis as usual!
The snare in the first riff isn't actually a snare. In the live version he uses a different part of his kit. I believe some kind of drum pad, like those oldskool Simmons drum pads.
Really love your analytical reaction style. Greeked out with you, and you pointed out a few things I had missed. Keep it up!!
Amazing reaction and analysis!
Still one of my all time fave Muse songs, especially love their heavier side.
love how in depth you were with this analysis! im a big music theory fan and love going into detail when it comes to everything and especially music. Jesus christ if you were to cover a meshuggah song like Dancers to a Discordant System then that would be like a 2 hour video!
Hey Mendel. Kinda just coming out of my way to say that I JUST realized you dropped a new album. Been following you for a hot minute. Just wanted to pop in and say you've once again blown my mind. Not trying to sound like a total kissass, but you're the best musician I've ever come across. Also, I really love that you gave Covenant a touch-up. Fantastic work on this last album 👏 last couple minutes of The Aeonian Shift had me breaking out the notebook. You're a frigging genius dude. Please keep up the fantastic work and don't ever stop.
"middle eastern" vibe is also used in United States of Eurasia (kinda obviously in that case)
and "break it to me" even more obviously
Come on, matt not only use that on 1 track, he's got a lot than that.
Your overall happiness throughout was my same reaction. This should be the new MUSE standard. Beautifully done.
Hey bro can you react to Muse’s new song, You Make Me Feel Like It’s Halloween?
Thanks for this react 🔥💯
Muse now have breakdown guys
Matt is tapping in the solo
Holy shit looks like MUSE is back on the menu lol
They don't need legs
The ambience at the start is a siren, like they used ag the end of reapers
Please this guys 1 million subs and view. This is legendary walk through
Your reactions are always of a higher level, they are clear technical analysis. As you, I love this song so much and it gave me goosebumps in the solo part at the first listening. But as you, I’m not full convinced by the production…the live version sounds actually better. They should have called you to produce it! 😉. Oh and I loved the alternation between the “ cold” analyst and the excited fan ( "fuck me sideways" 🤣❤)
"Fuck me sideways" Pretty much what every Muse fan said XD
When you were picking out those chords at 15:58 it reminds me of Hans Zimmer. Particularly the Dark Knight soundtrack.
That verse dude...i think that has to be my favourite verse in any song the last 10 years...and im a muse fan since resistance/Bhar
Also the only good reaction on TH-cam with real analysis...
Here for Muse... but delighted by your ease with guitar! :)
Great video. I love your faces 😂😂, it's definitely an epic song
Great analysis! The first live version was edgy and had feedback intro and outro, which sounded great. This studio version was, well, just ok. Shame as this is the best thing they have done in years, but many have commented they preferred it live. What does that tell you?
They might still look for THAT live performance to make an official version of? I think the concerts were a mixed one, not their own so maybe looking for their own feel of shows to get the 100% one?
That it's a Muse song? Muse has always been better live, that's their appeal. I'd also say that people also got accustomed to the sound of the live version for 3 weeks before the studio one dropped. I actually LOVE the studio because the audio is clear - live versions are not.
@@michaelcain-pruis2422 I think it's one that might come when Muse tour their own gigs and not festivals... record on their own side and get the performance perfect... the album has to come first
What is tells you is what kind of amazing musicians they are.
I brought my five year old daughter to her first MUSE concert and even she knew that all the songs were better live.
Are you going to do the rest of the new album?
8:25 is a electronic drum snare patch not a acoustic set
Regarding what you said about 70s prog rock chords, that explains why the verses gave me a lot of Genesis vibes.
Nothing breaks the ice like "fuck me sideways, what!" lol
I reacted exactly the same way to the first time the whammy riff drops, 2:08. Just doesn't hit you that hard. To my ear it's because the guitar isn't double-tracked. It's just panned left while the bass (and that synth doubling it) is panned right. Weird choice for the main riff of the song to be produced in that way IMO.
Yeah i hope they try quad tracking or at least double in the future,same was with wont stand down,the guitar didn't feel as big
Imagine being analyzed by Mendel
For free
You need to work on your “that’s what she said” bro 😂😂. Awesome analysis as always! Will you be doing the full album when it’s released?
Can you react to the Black album by metallica, I know everyone has heard it a billion times. But, I want you to approach it from a producer's stand point and talk about w/e your thoughts are on it. Love the videos. Wishing you the best my friend !
Best song they've made since the black holes album I think.
I thought I was the only one that felt like something was off with the snare in the intro, it just didn't hit me like I was expecting, I still enjoy the song, just thought it was a strange choice. Great breakdown.
That snare sound has been present since the "Drones" album, I think. Personally not a big fan of it either, but all thanks to great mixinng and mastering... we get the better end result :)
4:40 reminds me Silvera from Gojira
If you wish to react you might not have heard of, I would say Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods & Gold
1:52 Gtr Intro...Am I Hearing....--------> Drowning Pool - Bodies
ACTUALLY, if you listen to stockholm there's a growl during the pre chorus. At least I believe there is, it's kinda buried though.
Love the reaction, btw lol.
Mendel, is that awesome arpeggio 14:02 playable on a guitar? it's mindblowing!!
It’s a guitar solo, so yeah. You just need a whammy pedal or some other pitch shifter to jump octaves
@@SundewRedsounds like a very creative technique, i like it!
Jup! Just double or three note tapping or hammering and let the whammy do the hard work.
@@Mendelian well, now i started to actually hear it! Thank you for the answer :)
Agree a lot with you, the song itself is sick, but the recording and mixing could have been better, especially the drums. Since about 2012 the drums have turned from a rock/metal sounding kit (especially during the Absolution era) to a pop kit, the snare sound is awful and the cymbals have almost no sustain which makes the sound way less heavy than it could have been.
I think your take is overly simplistic. Their sound overall turned more electronic and commercial even since BHandR. What did you expect, a rock drum sound on Dead inside? Matter of fact, he has created his own sounds, tailored to each song. And on the rock have ones, like Liquid state (2012) or Revolt (2015), the sound Is appropriate
@@dimitris410 you nailed it. I think some people are showing a lack of musical knowledge and depth. Some fail to see that the drumming and drum mix is pure genius that goes from pop to Death Metal in one psychotic episode. Sublime.
Salut pas de sous titrages français dommage mais d'après les commentaires j'ai les sous titrages et merci à tous j'ai peu apprendre à mieux connaître Muse je suis très fan je veux simplement dire Cest des génies brilliant talentueux de fou phénomènal grandiose tout est bon 🎸👍👏💖😱🇨🇵
Very metal like breakdown in the middle. So badass. Not as metal as Execution Commentary still though 🤣🤘🏻
Great reaction and break down. It's funny you say about the outro as that's exactly how they play it live.
Ah ok! I haven’t checked anything since I wanted to go in fresh (that’s what she said).
@@Mendelian I kind of wish I did the same.
Who remembers the name of gojira's song?
It's Silvera, their best one imo
That face at 9:31
I love the song it does have nostalgia but wasnt a big fan with the intro. I feel Matt tried to make something similar to hysteria with the intro but the melody not my cup of tea.
How has noone pointed out that the intro riff is 100% just straight up ripped off of Fever333 "Burn it down"? Absolutely mental - it's just the exact same. No way noone in their team realized this.
Because it's not - some different notes and different rhythm.
"Finally, took them 22 years" 🤣
To me, Won't stand down has sounds much fuller in a way, just way more sound coming at you. This sounds kind of empty in comparison to the live version. Still really like the song tho, just prefer the live version for it's more substantial sound. (edit) and maybe a little too much going on with the editing of his voice with effects and stuff.
Could you pleaaaase check the Turkish band 'Kurban' out!
Also Pentagram
My only complaint is that the bass drop could have been bigger and just a second or half second longer. And I'm not even a fan of dubstep.
Dubstep?
A 3 min song turned into a 31 min video ...no thanks
I absolutely HATE their new production. These songs could sound so much better. It kills me to no end. Hate the drum sound. Hate that they forgot about layering and reverb. I dunno.
12:30
