I have never understood people who like ' happy' music . They see the world in a conformist mindless way. The group. Face. Muse are gravitas. Empathy within reason is our finest instinct.
Absolutely love Muse. Matt Bellamy is one of the single most talented musicians in the world. If he'd been born 300 years ago he would have been another Mozart.
It's in A, not B - the guitar is tuned A-A-D-D-G-B-E (where the two D strings are exactly the same pitch). I've never understood why Matt used a 7-string, it can be played perfectly well on a 6-string with the E dropped to A (assuming your 6th is heavy enough).
I think if you need to experience the genius of muse - you need to listen to their 3 exogenesis songs - ideally 1 after another.. Very theatrical/operatic - other worldly. Its the first time I recognised matt Bellamy genius - and ever since its been unrivalled
You are correct. There early stuff is raw but super-talented and insightful. There progression and later hooks, like Radiohead, are develop and add so much more. Both bands are amazing live and in recording as they don’t do the predictable pop but are super accessible and clever.
I love how you talk about the music theory in these videos, I don't even mind the pauses haha I'm going to make a song request that I think most Muse fans will disagree with, but I'd love to hear you react to Madness. It's one of their newer songs (was 2012 really 9 years ago?) and very very different than what you've heard from them so far. Keep up the great videos!
Muse are one of the greatest live acts on the planet- u listened to a really old version of that tho, there’s much better, more recent versions around- also, please react to Stockholm syndrome (live), or uprising (live), or psycho (live🥴) all by muse 🥰 and do it soon as I have no patience 😆
Nice reaction, maybe You can react to Unnatural Selection Live at The Den Muse ❤️ It is one of his best performances of that great song. Saludos desde México!!!!
Who else would use the phrase 'Open - minded....I'm sure I used to be so free' - devastating indeed in its delivery. He was reigning the falsetto in. To sound hysterical and confused.
Do you know how many musicians can't really sing? A lot and it always reveals itself when they sing LIVE. They can really rip in the studio though. Then there is Matt Bellamy!............... :).
A masterpiece that requires repeated experience at full volume. Especially their BDO performance . I don't believe anything comes even close. He has the shortest measured vocal chords ever.
With the falsetto (and I may be missing the technical strong/weak distinction you are making), what always gets me are places where he sings an additional "guitar" part. You hear this in knights of Cydonia and the last minute of Showbiz, and both of those involve (what I hear as) really strong, powerful falsetto moments. People talk about Micro Cuts and for good reason, but these are the ones where it stands out to me.
I like your pov as a musician. A remix of this song just came a few weeks ago, hopefully somebody in the patreon world would recommend to do a comparison instead a reaction between the new mix and the old studio version, the new mix sounds better imo
@@THEDavidHeretic Woh - Thank you - you are a most perceptive and talented gentleman. Enlightening and incisive reviews even upon first listening. Excellent.
I mean, I play a 6-string bass, which has a low B string. I have no issue with it, as long as we don't go any lower than drop A. After that it's gonna start to sound reeeeeally muddy.
Hi David great video as always, awesome to see you reacting to more Muse - I hope there's more to come! I've got another RHCP song for ya from their 2011 album 'I'm With You', the first of two to feature guitarist Josh Klinghoffer in place of John Frusciante. The song 'Police Station' I believe beautifully demonstrates their ability to pull back a little and execute a wonderfully euphoric and polished song. It's not like anything you've reviewed on your channel before by them, it's more of their later sound. This album wasn't massively well reviewed when it came out but I for one think it's very underrated. th-cam.com/video/iJd3Io3-joY/w-d-xo.html
May I suggest that Citizen Erased is axiomatic in its melancholic truth, power and beauty. Thank you. I hope that Lord Heretic is well and rocking with Joy. How is she these days?
@@THEDavidHeretic Lovely stuff. ( Do see my Monument to Suffering -Franklin 1864 - truth and realism - mass experience in extremis). Respect to all Heretics.
David - if you want to experience bizarre contextual liberties being taken then I would much appreciate your reaction to my use of Muse - Take a Bow (old Hi - Fi going strong) to accompany my horribly realistic American Civil War Cyclorama video (apart from the wobbly camera perhaps) - third most recent video - on my channel. Thank you. It's experi-mental lol.. Sort of.
Not my favourite Muse track, but I love the change / bridge about half way through..... the album it came from (Origin of symmetry) is, imho, their best, though ;-)

It's an education this channel. One can learn an awful lot from Mr Heretic. Do view my ACW Franklin diorama (Wip 7 years plus) if you get a spare moment. Seems to make all other visual art seem a bit trivial. Truth and realism. Regards, Brian.
@@spinnymathingy3149 For sure, but they have been lost for a while now, and it's sad. From their first record to Absoltuion they were perfect. Black holes and revelations is very good, and then... the abyss came.
@@gemevieya I used to feel the same, but then I gave their later albums a second look and they really are awesome. If nothing else, give Drones a listen. Some great stuff on there, such as the song Reapers.
Matt Bellamy. Is. A. Genius.
Xaafke - Agree completely 😁
The finest sort.
Muse are axiomatic and their Art is ineffably beautiful and powerful.
He really is ♥️♥️♥️

Absolutely love Muse. Matt Bellamy is one of the single most talented musicians in the world. If he'd been born 300 years ago he would have been another Mozart.
So true !
He blows most classical into obscurity. Relentless power. The drum beat of time. Always there with our heartbeats.

Better tone probably

I love your muse reactions cause you’re not a muse guy but you always hear it out at the very least
Yep so many music snobs just write them off because they play different (interesting) rock.
You are correct. There early stuff is raw but super-talented and insightful. There progression and later hooks, like Radiohead, are develop and add so much more. Both bands are amazing live and in recording as they don’t do the predictable pop but are super accessible and clever.
I'd be interested in seeing your reaction to anything live from their lastest album, Simulation Theory, and how they've grown and changed etc
This is real early muse. Its second album, and this whole concert was in France promoting said second album's release.
I love how you talk about the music theory in these videos, I don't even mind the pauses haha

For a thick falsetto check their perfomance of the song called Bliss in Live 8 Festival 2005😄

I really appreciate muse, they are their name. They display their influence. Each song is almost a tribute.
this song chills my soul
Brahms First Symphony first movement. (C I think).
Muse at there best and citizen erased is just such a beautiful and powerful song 👍
Woh my favourite song.
You can see the influence of Jeff Buckley on his voice.. Two great musicians…

Such wondrous gravitas.
Best reviewer on TH-cam.
His symbols are like a supercharged V8 with awesome engine - braking. My XJR lol. So is Lord Bellamy's Voice. Doesn't need brakes.
You should listen to Micro Cuts - astonishing full falsetto.
Already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
@@THEDavidHeretic Woh - Thank you - you are a most perceptive and talented gentleman. Enlightening and incisive reviews even upon first listening. Excellent.
Finally got the bass out man! Cheers😁
Song is in my top ten on compositions. I have to ask because it seems everyone is going to it...thoughts on "Drop C"?
I mean, I play a 6-string bass, which has a low B string. I have no issue with it, as long as we don't go any lower than drop A. After that it's gonna start to sound reeeeeally muddy.
And of course .......' and I've seen all I'll ever need.' Words don't get more profound.
One day David, you might like to view the BDO Sydney live version on TH-cam. It is guaranteed to induce hair - loosening headbanging. Lol. Respect.
muse is great. I would also recommend Poets of the Fall - My Dark Disquiet

david this is their bohemian rhapsody
This is no Bohemian Rhapsody. And Paranoid Android is not BR either.
But both great songs.
Climax or resolution.
The basic requirement of a good song, I believe, is three distinct parts. Verse, chorus and then climax lol.
I find the lyrics most devastating in their honesty.
Loud soft loud soft...Pixies.

Devastating.
