This is what happened according to musewiki: Originally, the performance was intended by the organisers to have been completely mimed, however Matthew Bellamy managed to persuade the organisers to allow him to sing the vocals live. After tapping on the microphone, the backing track was cut, at which point Bellamy exclaimed "WOOAH!", after which it continued. However, Bellamy decided not to go on.
i like how whoever was in charge of playing the backing track completely fucked up such a simple thing, and muse just stopped pretending to play and left roflmao
Highest notes ever reached by matthew bellamy, this is why this live version is probably one of the most important of muse. Oh and, can he have a guitar ?
From Musewiki: Arguably (Matt's) highest live note to date is the final scream after the chorus in the Radio 1 performance of Muscle Museum (Hey You Crazy Kids), where he approaches an A#5.
in the first of the two screams right before the chorus at 1:22, he hits something around a C#5 in what sounds like his chest register. That's 3 semitones higher than his highest notes on Dead Inside and Feeling Good, and 2 semitones above his tremendous belted B4 at the Reading Festival from 2011. Of course, the technique is nowhere near as refined, but this could be the highest note Matt has ever hit without using falsetto.
They were forced to have a backing track and originally the entire performance was supposed to be mimed. Matt persuaded them to let him at least sing live and if you haven't seen any other performances where they've been forced to lip sync, they usually switch places and purposefully badly mime playing to get the point across that they're not even playing. There's even a video where Dom acts as though he's the lead singer in the interview and plays the bass while matt plays the drums and Chris plays the guitar. It's quite hilarious and the interviewers totally bought it up. Shows how much they know.
They did. They've done it a few times when they've been forced to mime (they did it on the Live and Kicking performance, as well as Matt waving his hands over the keyboard when he should have been playing it). On CD:UK Matt waved the mic in the air when he should have been singing and Chris ate his mic! But it was topped recently on Quelli che... il Calcio when they all swapped places with Dom on guitar and vocals and Matt on the drums!
The greatest part is that Muse wasn't that big back then. So when they came out and Matt was singing all crazy they were dumbfounded at first. Kinda standing there are just thinking, "What the hell is this dude on." After he says, "Can I have a guitar," I think the crowd gets it and they go nuts after the song is over.
Like a boss! xD And after they put this photo in Muscle Museum US single back cover to when everytime they watch it they say "Oh, yeah! Our first playback time, good memories" xDD
É isso que dá botar o Muse pra cantar em Playback,no caso só a voz do Matt era ao vivo (o resto era base tanto que Chris e Dom inverteram as funções: Dom no baixo e Chris na bateria) mais eu acho esse video hilário pra caramba,o cara tava loucão com certeza era o efeito dos cogumelos!! mas que isso sirva de lição aos caras que vão convidar para fazer um show,NÃO MANDEM ELES FAZER PLAYBACK SENÃO ELES PROTESTAM da forma mais zoeira da face da terra.Essa performance pra mim teve um lado bom,os agudos do Matt embora achei gritado pra caramba e detestar esses gritos mas na ocasião se tornou engraçada,o lado ruim é eles saírem do show no meio da música rs,enfim eles odeiam playback mesmo.Atitude Rock n Roll neste video. Obs: As melhores partes do video são os falsetes,os gritos e o ''Oh yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaar''do Matt,totalmente The best.
it was a prerecorded backing track. The sound tech was an idiot. They arrived at the festival and were told not to play, so he just went nuts with the vocals as Dom and Chris mimed Bass and Drums (respectively).
hilarious! he's not drunk, just being silly cos they made him mime. he chose to sing like that instead lol. theres a backing track playing and matts got no guitar. then the track randomly stops! haha
I want this album cover sooo bad! Its so funny to see Dom playing bass and the camera guy is all up on him, and chris in the back just chillin' and who knows what matt's doing in the front haha i get to see them for the first time on sat!!! sooo looking forward to the best concert of my life!
Okay: G = chorus in Mircocuts, backing vocal in the second chorus of Megalomania, following the opening guitar solo of Knights Of Cydonia (at about 1.45) , falsetto at the end of live versions of Bliss, falsetto at the end of Butterflies and Hurricanes on HAARP etc. G# = The end of Showbiz and the end of Microcuts (at around 2.54) This = highest ever note, approaching an A# (2:09).
@SheryP96 that would be 4 times now, they did it on a tv show called "Live and kicking" (see the contradiction here) while "playing" new born I LOVE MUSE TOO =D
studio:Ill do it on my own. Live ipswich,2000: woooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaooooooo doooooooooooooooooooooooooooww waaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooooooo
This is what will happen when you force Muse to use playback, hey you crazy organizer -____- WHOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! kkkkkkkkk Look at Chris back to his root as a drummer LMAO!
Actually those arent doms drums and thats not chris's bass. They took some random stangers because they didnt have their instuments notice how matt doesnt have a guitar. They were told they had to mime and decided to make them sorry that they ever made that decision.... When Matt tapped on the mic they got mad and cut off the track and then it started back up again but they refused to finish
I don't understand why they were told to use playback back in the day when they're literally can play live?? were they too loud like they're rock band for reasons man. the fact that this happen quite a few time is funny. history repeated during uprising 💀😭😭 this time they are completely troll the media. like what is their problem lmfao. having dom as a bass and chris as a drum is the alt universe of muse
ill send it to you. pm me with your email. or do you have yahoo messenger? i can send it to ya either way. pm me with your email or your yahoo name. lol.
its somethin they did quite a lot, if asked to mime they would take the piss somethin awful. Dom clueless on Bass, Chris pounding away at the drums, and matt going nuts not even playing guitar when you can still hear it, the best footage are the Live and Kicking and Channle 5 shows of New Born, fucking hilarious
@cinematicallyawkward You're wrong lol. showbiz is G5 but A5 is higher. Don't you know your music. A is higher than G if it were in the same octave. SEE LOOK AT IN A KEYBOARD. ONE OCTAVE: C 5| D 5| E 5| F 5| G 5| A 5| B 5| C6|. Anyways I love showbiz one of my favorite songs in showbiz lol.
woah woah woah! wheres the fucking screaming at the end!? thats the best part!!! HhOOoOOOOOoooooooooooooooooAAAAAAAAAAAAGHhhHHH!!!!!!! otherwise pretty damned good!
Yeh I just checked that is just a tiny, tiny bit below G# (like a microtone, quite fitting actually), but I'm happy to say that Showbiz and Microcuts are about the same :)
Nope, Micro Cuts' highest note is G, Showbiz's highest note is a G# and by the sounds of things, this performance includes his highest note which approaches A#.
@bpost137 They couldnt do the instrumental stuff live and since Matt didn't like that very much he made a nice vocal show :) atleast that's what I heard
HAHA!! Iv just noticed something about the back of the album cover. You can see Dom on the big screen and some guy infront of him witht he camera lol :P
People, he was not drunk. They just were told to mime, and we all know that you don't simply told Muse to mime. And Chris and Dom swipped places.
"To prove I've made a big mistake WHOOOOA ! Thank you.
TheSOADlive Awkward ending and he just pretended like it was meant to be like that xD
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If anyone asks me who muse are, I'm just gonna play them this video
nice profile pic boiiyo
"I've made a big mistake" *music turns off*
That scream is brutal, jesus.

What animal got killed?
Jkjk I love them
@@Fleurig-xr5mm a moose
Never ask Muse to make playback, or they'll ruin your TV show ! xD
"Can I've a guitar" kills me everytime lol
pvksl haha ye, although I thought it was "I don't have a guitar"
god I didn't even notice that lmao
i like how whoever was in charge of playing the backing track completely fucked up such a simple thing, and muse just stopped pretending to play and left roflmao
+Shinku Quickman I'm pretty sure they were kicked off stage
ahah being able to sing like that without being drunk is quite a performance.
ripitchip101 are you sure he wasn't drunk?
@@haralabospap7091 it was mimed
It's an insult making one of the best bands in the world perform to a backing track, the same thing happened to Nirvana and Radiohead.
"HEY YOU CRAZY KIDS!"
"WAAAHHHH"
"Can i at least have a guitar?"
"Woah...."
when I tap my toe on the table at 3 am 1:22

This had me in tears hahahaha
In my opinion, the best performance of Muscle Museum just because of the sheer madness of it!
Matt just havin' the time of his life up there lol
Highest notes ever reached by matthew bellamy, this is why this live version is probably one of the most important of muse. Oh and, can he have a guitar ?
Awesome!! The scream
I’m sad it was cut off midway through. I want to hear what he would’ve done for the “guitar” solo at the end which is actually already sung.
definitely what they do if they have to lip sync and miming
Hey you cwazy kids :'D and those screamings... love them :D

what song was that in reading 2011?

The WOAAW at the end is the best Muse thing I've ever heard.
Happy 22nd birthday to Muse's greatest live performance of all time
OMG THIS IS A BLESSING TO MY EARS
Why is Dom playing bass and Chris playing drums in the photo is this inception

"to prove I have made a big mistakeee yeeaahhh.. WOAH!! Thank you, thank you very much, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" Rofl.
Even when I don't see Muse doing playback, it's still the most hilarious experience.
this is what you get for asking muse to mime lol
For Muscle Museum they just went off stage and left Matt to his own devices which, as you can tell, was a fiasco.
This is what happens when you take Matt's guitar from him. He gets bored.
Origin of Muse
Spiral Static I will buy it immediately if they include a video this. XD
2:25 I love the emphasis he gives to "I have played in every toilet" as he is playing one right now xD
They didn't let them play live, so Matt somehow managed to just get the access to the mic, and started singing that way lol
I have "HEY YOU CRAZY KIDS" on my message ringtone P:
It is a testament to how amazing this song is that even sung like this it still sounds awesome
They did. They've done it a few times when they've been forced to mime (they did it on the Live and Kicking performance, as well as Matt waving his hands over the keyboard when he should have been playing it).

Matt's singing in this has to be the most epic thing ever
WHOAAAAAAAH!
it actually is a photo of the gig of the song that you are listening now lol
OH MY FUCKING GOD

0:06 HEY YOU, CRAZY KIDS! AAH!
*MUSECORE* 1:20
1:58 = the original Human Goat
the "woooah" made me die of laughter😂😂😂this is too funny
you mean the bass? they asked muse to mime the song and you know what happens when you ask muse to mime;D
1:22 When you step on the LEGO piece you lost to build your masterpiece.
Like a boss! xD And after they put this photo in Muscle Museum US single back cover to when everytime they watch it they say "Oh, yeah! Our first playback time, good memories" xDD
"I don't have a guitar!"
ive always tried to picture what itd be like if matt sang without a guitar, i now have a pretty good perspective
i wish there was video of this :L
God I nearly died laughing.
Muse forever lol
...It's escaped your world... WAAAAAAAAAAAWWWW
WAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW
É isso que dá botar o Muse pra cantar em Playback,no caso só a voz do Matt era ao vivo (o resto era base tanto que Chris e Dom inverteram as funções: Dom no baixo e Chris na bateria) mais eu acho esse video hilário pra caramba,o cara tava loucão com certeza era o efeito dos cogumelos!! mas que isso sirva de lição aos caras que vão convidar para fazer um show,NÃO MANDEM ELES FAZER PLAYBACK SENÃO ELES PROTESTAM da forma mais zoeira da face da terra.Essa performance pra mim teve um lado bom,os agudos do Matt embora achei gritado pra caramba e detestar esses gritos mas na ocasião se tornou engraçada,o lado ruim é eles saírem do show no meio da música rs,enfim eles odeiam playback mesmo.Atitude Rock n Roll neste video. Obs: As melhores partes do video são os falsetes,os gritos e o ''Oh yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaar''do Matt,totalmente The best.
There should be a love button!
This is so good that I can't even listen to the normal version of the song any more, sounds too boring in comparison!
Wow. I just realized that the vocals were live, but the instruments must have been playbacked. Dom and Chris switched.
Matt just shouting "HEY YOU CRAZY KIDS!" Is my new text tone :')
This. Is. H I L A R I O U S 😂 And pure gold
it was a prerecorded backing track. The sound tech was an idiot. They arrived at the festival and were told not to play, so he just went nuts with the vocals as Dom and Chris mimed Bass and Drums (respectively).
hilarious! he's not drunk, just being silly cos they made him mime. he chose to sing like that instead lol. theres a backing track playing and matts got no guitar. then the track randomly stops! haha
Tip to all event organizers thinking of asking Muse to mime... Don't :P
I want this album cover sooo bad! Its so funny to see Dom playing bass and the camera guy is all up on him, and chris in the back just chillin' and who knows what matt's doing in the front haha i get to see them for the first time on sat!!! sooo looking forward to the best concert of my life!
@BalayleeNails cause it was playback (exept the vocals) and they decided to take a piss at it XD
I actually like te woooaah before the chorus starts
Bieipio baby who doesnt
I would pay good money to see the actual video of this
This is my new favorite video in existence
Please.... I can't bear it, somebody give poor Matt a guitar!!!!!
Okay:
G = chorus in Mircocuts, backing vocal in the second chorus of Megalomania, following the opening guitar solo of Knights Of Cydonia (at about 1.45) , falsetto at the end of live versions of Bliss, falsetto at the end of Butterflies and Hurricanes on HAARP etc.
G# = The end of Showbiz and the end of Microcuts (at around 2.54)
This = highest ever note, approaching an A# (2:09).
They say his last note after the scream was his HIGHEST NOTE EVER, reaching an A5
@SheryP96 that would be 4 times now, they did it on a tv show called "Live and kicking" (see the contradiction here) while "playing" new born
I LOVE MUSE TOO =D
studio:Ill do it on my own.
Live ipswich,2000: woooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaooooooo doooooooooooooooooooooooooooww waaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooooooo

Matt rules.
This is what will happen when you force Muse to use playback, hey you crazy organizer -____- WHOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! kkkkkkkkk
Look at Chris back to his root as a drummer LMAO!
Muse are awesome even when trying to f*** something up.
I keep wondering if any windows within range shattered from the sheer pitch of Matt's voice...
WAAAAAAAAAAA
I love this pic. Matts just chilling on the amp and I think chris and dom switched instuments. But the "hey you crazy kids" into is the best ever.
the best bit is "i dont even have a guitar" lool
ARGH. Matt should have SO added those vocals to the beginning of the record Muscle Museum!!
Actually those arent doms drums and thats not chris's bass. They took some random stangers because they didnt have their instuments notice how matt doesnt have a guitar.

and now this BWHAHAH
Nope, Micro Cuts' highest note is G, Showbiz's highest note is a G# and by the sounds of things, this performance includes his highest note which approaches A#.
wtf the song just ended during the 2nd verse, matt must have been just hammered because he was ridiculous
@bpost137 They couldnt do the instrumental stuff live and since Matt didn't like that very much he made a nice vocal show :) atleast that's what I heard
Yeah, and you gotta feel bad for Dom and his offkeyness. *patts Dom on the back* [i wish] w/e hes got a spider man costume and an some lovely pants.
HAHA!! Iv just noticed something about the back of the album cover. You can see Dom on the big screen and some guy infront of him witht he camera lol :P
haha oh yeh it is lol, what i meant to say was that he had only access to the mic, it was the only thing they allowed him to use without miming.
nah he didn't gain access to the mic, him singing was the only thing that they were allowed to do themselves so ofc he had to protest in some way.
They wouldn't give it to him...
Should've expected what would happen...
Then again, it's so awesome that they didn't :D :D :D
@JaimeeMusicHead
On the actual thing, Chris and Dom left the stage in the middle of the song XD
"hey can i have a guitar" :DDD
"WHOAH thank you, thank you very much, THANK YOU VERY MUCH"
I don't even know why my sister and I are laughing at this.
