@@kevinjacobsson9869 It's even more interesting that it was one of the best guitar solos of the decade by one of British magazines but i forgot which one
No!!!!!! They're paying homage to Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West!" Come on, man! You've gotta watch that classic if just for Ennio Morricone's score!
Ast, it's a rendition of Ennio Morricone's Harmonica song, it's not a "copy", it's just them playing one of the best scores in western cinema's history, so they can then change it to their own Knights of Cydonia. Anyone who was there and knew the original has to have orgasmed right the fuck there. I mean to watch your favorite band play one of those incredible classics. I would have.
I had the luck to work on "Olimpic" stadium of Rome those years, and in the 8 years of work, this was the most difficult to prepare, because everything had to be perfect.... Rome was the official video concencert of the world tour.... In 8 years of concerts, never heard a similar acustic... You can pass behind the scenes, and hear like you were in front of it... Normally behind the scenes you hear the sound twise and confused... And the fire, was increbible.... This was and I think will always remain the most beautiful experience i've ever had in a concert... It was just perfect
i would highly recommend seeing them, from my experience they're much better in an open space rather than an arena, seem to project their music much better
I've probably commented on the most videos of this version. But everytime I watch it I get blown away. Is it even possible for a song to be this awesome and rock so freakin' much?
The harmonica at the start, immediately took me back to my childhood, me and my family would listen to ennio morricone in the car everytime we went for a medium/long trip. I love Muse so much, they're the first group I've ever listened to in my life, and they've been my favorite ever since. They've been there for me, with their beautiful music, for more than half my life. And they're unique.
Anybody who is from my generation (born 1960) who says “music today sucks” or “rock is dead” need to sit down STFU and listen to then see these guys live. Unbelievable.
I'm not actually a Muse fan but i always felt this song was brilliant. One of the best rock songs ever written. One thing i also like about this song is that the type of arrangement is actually far from what you would expect from a "commercial/pop" tune and yet it became a hit.
@@tuomas_ The riff in KOC is a tribute to Matt's dad during his time with the band The Tornado specifically for the song Telstar en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telstar_(instrumental)
I first heard this song on the radio in 2007. I had just bought a dirtbike after a 14 year layoff from motocross racing. After hearing the first chorus, I cranked it up and opened the rear window so the bike could hear it too. That chorus became our official anthem.."The time has come to make things right..." I rode that day like I'd never took a break, with this song in my head. To this day it grips me.
This music is legendary for me. The intro, the melody, the message. Thanks Muse for giving us this masterpiece. A fan from Brazil. I come here every now and then. It's just awesome.
If you get the chance to see them live go for it. I saw them years ago in italy before this song was published and was very impressed, they were great and knew how work the stage and audience. Whatever tour they do I am sure will be good.
A MUSE concert is like a DMT trip. Aliens, Cydonia, isoated system, exo-politics, some fractals here, some fractals there, you know... I really admire Matt Bellamy. He is smart , a very complete musician and his way of thinking is out of this world.
-Dad why is my sister called Rose? -Because your mom really liked roses. -Thanks Dad. You are welcome, Knights of Cydonia - Live at Rome Olympic Stadium.
Nothing more to add, everything has been said here. Just want to express how Muse is a sign of symphonic perfection, and Matt is and will be one of the best performers ever.
I just saw Muse live in Dallas Tx. This past weekend... Im from San Antonio... I fuken shed tears to hear this version of knights of Cydonia... I had goose bumps all over my body!!! I love this song!!!!
I was there and, for all I can remember, it was a celestial experience (I was just 12 but muse were already one of my favourite things in life) I saw them again in the same stadium in 2018, and I can't say enough words. they are far beyond the definition of anything you could say about them. I hope they will keep rocking the same way as they have always done
Can't stop playing this video clip !! It Lifts my spirit every single time I watch and listen to this song !! Seen these guys live in Oz several times - Best band live !!
I’ve seen and heard a lot of things in this life, but by Christ I have never heard anything like this,this is beyond good.. this is BIBLICAL, his voice is not from this world.. holy fuck son.
I love it when singers are doing so well, then do something to prove they’re singing live. Like when Matt pulled away from the mic at the end of the verse.
The harmonica in the intro reminds me so much of School by Supertramp. Then Matt's guitar comes in and we go into the Hans Zimmer score from the parlay scene in Pirates of the Carribean 3. Eclectic.
Yes! The intro is from Once Upon a Time in the West! POTC was definitely inspired by it. Speaking of School by Supertramp, I think the theme song of Red Dead Redemption comes directly from the bridge of that song. Fascinating how many connections there are in music!
Knights of Cydonia Muse Come ride with me Through the veins of history I'll show you a God Falls asleep on the job And how can we win, When fools can be kings Don't waste your time Or time will waste you No one's going to take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive No one's going to take me alive Time has come to make things right You and…
Ahh, Come ride with me Through the veins of history I'll show you how god Falls asleep on the job And how can we win When fools can be kings Don't waste your time or time will waste you No one's gonna take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive No one's gonna take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive No one's going to take me alive Time has come to make things right You and I must fight for our rights You and I must fight to survive
Te das cuenta que una banda tiene calidad verdadera cuando suenan mejor en recitales que en las grabaciones mismas, y lo hacen desde el comienzo hasta día de hoy
I love that they’ve been playing for a long time and also that they actually did adapt to the different style/type of music for this generation (they also didn’t overboard it with the new style/type and they didn’t stay the complete same)

hearing the crowd singing the guitar riff makes me so happy
It's actually more like a guitar solo, not a riff
neхт day i think it counts as a riff since its so easy to play. And just repeats with a higher octave
@@kevinjacobsson9869 It's even more interesting that it was one of the best guitar solos of the decade by one of British magazines but i forgot which one
It makes me Happy as well, i cant say why xD
wait you haven't sang it in real life???
R.I.P Ennio Morricone, composer of the intro ("The Man With the Harmonica") among so many other iconic pieces from film over the past sixty years
Теперь я знаю откуда музыка,а то слышу,что не Мьюз,но очень знакомая!..Спасибо!
I just finished wathcing Once Opon A Time In The West and I have to come here and listening to this again.
@@PeterPing my favourite western ☺️and Cera Una Volta is other worldly.
WE CAN FIGHT!
also intriguing here is the connection with history and Matts dad!
The intro is in my opinion one of the coolest things ever made during a concert.
IT MAKES ME TREMENDOUSLY UNCOMFORTABLE HOW SIMILAR IT IS TO THIS SONG.

No!!!!!! They're paying homage to Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in the West!" Come on, man! You've gotta watch that classic if just for Ennio Morricone's score!

It's from the movie Once Upon a Time in the West, called Man with the harmonica ruclips.net/video/VZ9P3J0QuVU/видео.html
Their lead singer is so good that it overshadows the fact that the drummer is absolutely playing the hell out of the drums.
Matt bellamy is just outstanding
Yeah Dominic Howard goes mad on those things 😂
and its not wimbley chuzday !!!
he fucking excellent @@RedYoshiGamer2
6:06 my man really just yeehawed in the middle of his performance. Legend.
When a British rock star yeehaws, shizzles about to get real.
That was badass... definitely a tribute to the awesome music video
And that's my favourite part of the song 🥺🤙🏻
To his fellow British Cowboys and Cowgirls alike
Yea that’s kinda his vibe lmao

Thanks for sharing this memory. I do envy you.
Really cool to step back and think about what it would have been like from your perspective! Some unbelievable lifetime memories I am sure.

There are no words.....
Except for the ones you just typed.
yea there are, they start at about 4 minutes in.
I feel ashamed for laughing at that terrible dad joke.
+Towe and is mine the dad joke?
ELEMENTAL SLAP yeah, it wouldn't let me reply to you for some reason
Can we just talk about how amazingly talented Chris is? I've got so much respect for this man
не знаю , по мне Мэтт самый , ну это же очевидно
Stephen Roberts I agree
Sianna Alexandrova all of them is even better...
I subbed to you
Wolstenbeast is the man . . . with the harmonica
I thank god that i was born in an age when muse is an active band and had a chance to go attend their concerts!
thriversoffset Same! 😄😍
The only good thing about this times
God doesn't exist, so why thank it?
thriversoffset all this happened in the 70s as well. Was called Prog. Nothing new. More a homage
i would highly recommend seeing them, from my experience they're much better in an open space rather than an arena, seem to project their music much better
If they ever make a generic futuristic Sci-fi spaghetti western, this song should be in the soundtrack.
This song always reminds me of Firefly.
Pretty well put
Could of been in the new blade runner
Aka the music video😂
Guess what ? They made a futuristic album already
I've probably commented on the most videos of this version. But everytime I watch it I get blown away. Is it even possible for a song to be this awesome and rock so freakin' much?
Yes, the evidence is right there.
Maarlen Noordanus Are you sure? I might be dreaming
*pinch* the awesome is real
This is one of the best live concert songs of all time.
Definitely in my "Apocalypse Day Soundtrack".
And done live too!
*-Cydonia's Night Solo is one of the most underrated in my humble opinion, Bravo Muse.*

Songs from 2006
100%🙂👍👍👍
This is probably one of the best live performances I have ever seen!
Rush YYZ live in Rio 👍🏴
You know a song is good when it's an experience rather than just something to listen to
Rush YYZ live in Rio 👍🏴
2:53 the way they’re jumping and screaming the riff makes me so frickin happy man

Ah, and there s even more mystery to this than what appears. It goes way back to the the early years of Matts dad! ???

This is one of the only two stadium bands I've ever wanted to see live, that I've been willing to risk my eardrums to see. The other was Rush.
Saw Rush twice, 1978 and 2013, 35 years apart and they were still amazing 👍

I've only just recently got into Muse and I can't stop listening to them! Great band!
that´s my case right now
better late than never!
Wise choice
Huge props to the director of this, leaving wide long shots on the bits that matter!
Qboid Yes I love the camera angles and especially the editing
Tom Kirk
Yea honestly good live videos make me rock solid
This has to be one of the best live performances ever.
Exactly, fuckin goosebumbs
Welp its official. Muse is officially the best rock band of this generation
Jeff Welsh it’s all matter of opinion
Muse are the best in terms of pure spectacle
It’s alternative lol
Saddonning Yea, alternative rock.
Tool still got em
'How can we win when fools can be kings?' good point!
And I'm absolutely blown away by the quality they deliver in such a huge arena. Love it!! ❤
That “YEE HAW!” at 6:08 is the reason why this is my favorite version of this song.
Thank God for the miracle of electricity and the genius that is Muse!
don't thank "God", thank Tesla, Edison, Matt, Dom and Chris
@@rukamaia3415 those people ARE God. And so are you 🥰
thank europeans for that.
So nice of Chris to give the harmonica to that fan who had a banner up asking for it
This music is legendary for me. The intro, the melody, the message. Thanks Muse for giving us this masterpiece. A fan from Brazil. I come here every now and then. It's just awesome.
This is Ennio Morricone music , playing in his beloved city of Rome ❤
RIP legend 🇮🇹
If you get the chance to see them live go for it. I saw them years ago in italy before this song was published and was very impressed, they were great and knew how work the stage and audience. Whatever tour they do I am sure will be good.
Muse is one of the best live bands in the world.
Other than Mötorhead, Iron Maiden or Pink Floyd
I saw part of their concert live at Rockavaria 2016. They mostly played newer songs that honestly are complete shit.
A MUSE concert is like a DMT trip. Aliens, Cydonia, isoated system, exo-politics, some fractals here, some fractals there, you know...
I really admire Matt Bellamy. He is smart , a very complete musician and his way of thinking is out of this world.
Doctor: you have 8:30 minutes to live.
Me:
My family
hearing the crowd sing the riff makes me shed tears
this must be one of the best live performances there is. i mean they just rock!
For me Wembley stadium one was better
@@serbianfanatics9315 for me, the Morricone intro is life.
this might be the best thing ever happened to the world
you`re right
-Dad why is my sister called Rose?
-Because your mom really liked roses.
-Thanks Dad.
You are welcome, Knights of Cydonia - Live at Rome Olympic Stadium.
Nothing more to add, everything has been said here.
Just want to express how Muse is a sign of symphonic perfection, and Matt is and will be one of the best performers ever.
I love and admire those bands that sounds like 10 musicians playing but they are actually just three. Rush for example. And Muse.
Its so simple, those three core instruments. Yet it sounds so complete

Slap a da bass
Playing Ennio Morricone's "Man with a Harmonica"!! So badass.
Karyn Shalda orgasmic!
I just saw Muse live in Dallas Tx. This past weekend... Im from San Antonio... I fuken shed tears to hear this version of knights of Cydonia... I had goose bumps all over my body!!! I love this song!!!!
Bro, I was there too! Fucking sweet!!
Chris : Shaking head while playing
Matt : Running, headbanging, spinning amp, living the moment
Dom : On fire
Watching the crowd jump and sing in unison gave me goosebumps. Can’t wait to see them live in Paris
God bless the person who uploaded this
One of the best concert's Muse have ever done....and I was lucky to be there!
This is the best song this band has ever written.
Every single time I watch this, I'm straight blew away by the performance. Damn its so good. Cant wait to see them live this Saturday 🤘🏼
One of my favorite live performances of all time
The crowd chanting to the guitar riff gave me chills
in my opinion this is probably the best concert in 2000s along side with AC DC concert in river plate .
totally agree !!!
Oh shit, you were at all of the concerts in 2000? Respect.
Its his opinion, jackass.
Maiden at Rock in Rio 2001 was pretty epic as well.
RHCP at Slane Castle is pretty fucking dope too.
Put your phones down, people. The quality will suck and you’ll rewatch it once or twice. Enjoy the awesomeness of the moment.
This is one of the greatest live preformances ever.
Wow. Just wow. Hearing the crowd singing the guitar riff is just crazy.
Imposible no saltar en sus conciertos...
Alguien mas cree que suenan mejor en vivo que en sus discos? Demasiados buenos
Talento
Confirmo...!!!
I keep coming back to this masterpiece
6:05 IIIIIIIHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I am 20 rn and I am glad I've got to know an awesome band like Muse exist at this age...wish i could've known them sooner
My old man has seen them live before and said they are the Queen of this generation. Wrong. They are the only Muse of this generation.
What a stunning, amazing, jaw dropping band. Can't wait for the next tour.
I was there and, for all I can remember, it was a celestial experience (I was just 12 but muse were already one of my favourite things in life)
I saw them again in the same stadium in 2018, and I can't say enough words. they are far beyond the definition of anything you could say about them.
I hope they will keep rocking the same way as they have always done
Seeing muse live was one of the best experiences of my life. Without a doubt one of the best bands to see live, it’s an experience like none other
This band is one of the best bands in the history of rock, there is no question. Please come to Chile!!!!
This must be the most wonderful live piece ever
This is the best concert of the fucking history!!
Jonathan Garcia Not the best but one of the best
Yes
I concur....so true
The best concert of all time, music, sound, effects, light, audience, stage set & personnel skills. goosebumps I see it..
do we all agree that this is part as one of the best songs that has ever graced this earth?
Beautiful use of the soundtrack from Once Upon a Time in the West.
I listen to this song every night
To this DAY 😂
best concert ever
I’ve seen Muse live last week in Nijmegen. I have no words to describe what the hell happened there but I will never forget that amazing experience.
This is not a song...ITS AN ANTHEM. hands down a great friggin song and band
I remembered when I saw them in Mexico, the best band! The show was amazing!
Such an epic and incredible performance... wish I was there!
2025 and only just hearing this lately on radio x. Absolute belter of a song
One of THE best lives performance videos ever. And the crowd were part of it.
The fuzz on the main riff kills me.
Bellamy is a mad genius on the guitar.
I was
there..unforgettable..apocalyptic
Can't stop playing this video clip !! It Lifts my spirit every single time I watch and listen to this song !! Seen these guys live in Oz several times - Best band live !!
MUSE is the "Quentin Tarantino" of Rock Bands.
+Carl Pinson Quentin Tarantino is an outstanding director
Yeah I have to agree with you there, never a bad movie from tarantino
NO Quentin Tarantino is the "MUSE" of all directors and he needs a Muse soundtrack like this song.
They should bleed more to be the Tarantino of Rock Bands
Old-Man Parker it would be cool to have this song in the background of a killing spree scene in one of his movies
Knights of Cydonia is one of my favourite song from Muse and hear it in live is really awesome ... thanks for sharing ... love from Natuna Island
Fun Activities: 1.) Play this Video synched-up with the last 8 minutes of the final chase scene in "MAD MAX Fury Road".
How much acid did you take to think that up?
You are a genius and a hero
and i thought i was having fun! ill be dammed. anyone thing of damnation to the river styx. what'd hades say? he was silent.. duh dum cthhkz
This is one of the best songs that ears could hear. Watching the live version has blown my mind. More more more
I’ve seen and heard a lot of things in this life, but by Christ I have never heard anything like this,this is beyond good.. this is BIBLICAL, his voice is not from this world.. holy fuck son.

Who is still watching this in October 2021?
Muse is my favourite and Best Rock band for my generation. I'm born in 1983.
I love that they’ve been playing for a long time and also that they actually did adapt to the different style/type of music for this generation (they also didn’t overboard it with the new style/type and they didn’t stay the complete same)
The best live performance I’ve ever seen on stage!
everytime they begin playing this it gives me goosebumps, what an amazing performance
