If you ever get the chance to go to a Muse show, beg borrow or steal a ticket, they really are the best live show on the planet.

It cannot be understated how good Muse is live. They quite literally sound better than their records when they're on stage. It's baffling. I don't think any band since Queen has been able to capture that stage presence better.

Plug in baby refers to the front man's guitar. Music is where he turns to when he's "tired of living." Music and his guitar are his way of coping with life.

I agree figuratively - almost like his guitar is like a women or partner to turn to in times of trouble. Like you say he turns to his guitar. The riff is based off a classical piece inspired by Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor

If you want audience participation, I recommend Muse playing Muscle Museum live at Shepherds Bush Empire in 2017. The words Muscle Museum are the words either side of Muse in the dictionary. I have seen them live 4 times over the years , always awesome, always a different experience. To experience a wider range, Citizen Erased or Butterflies and Hurricanes which incorporate Matt's piano skills which are considerable.

@@deancooper7952 that is where they came up with the lyric and name of the song though. They said themselves. The meaning of plug in baby in context is probably his guitar.

I’ve seen muse 15 times. They are the are amazing live!

Nobody knows exactly what is going on with these lyrics, not even the band members, because every time they're asked about the meaning of this song, they seem to give a different answer, or try to avoid the question. However, I think one of the biggest clues to the meaning of the lyrics comes from an early demo of this song from 1997 (official version was released in 2001), where the lyrics were dramatically different, and went something like this: _When I was poor and lonely_ _They give me to the floor_ _You're the only_ _I was tired of resting_ _But I'm not even afraid_ _'Cause you're the only_ _God is in me_ _and I'm in virtual reality_ _I'm tired of living_ _They come anywhere here_ _Anywhere in my head_ _'Cause I'm tired of thinking_ _I never meant to love these machines_ _But they obey my commands adeptly_ _I will never ever die_ _In their circuits I can survive_ _Can you hear me?_ _Cause I am leaving_ _Electric love screens_ _Have tempted me to jack it in_ _Living lively_ _They come anywhere here_ _Anywhere in my head_ _I'm tired of thinking_ _I never meant to love these machines_ _But they obey my commands adeptly_ _I will never ever die_ _In their circuits I can survive_ _Can you hear me_ _Cause I am leaving_ With these lyrics, and considering the themes found in other old Muse songs, it seems very likely that the song was originally meant to be about virtual reality, and technology in general, and how it might affect humanity in the future, so you were not far off with the Matrix vibes. I personally have the theory that the lyrics were later changed to make it sound more like a love song, so it would be more popular with the masses (and it did become a huge hit). Also, a fun fact is that the name "Plug in Baby" was actually the name of a baby monitor they saw on a catalogue, they just thought it sounded cool and decided to use it for the song, lol.

The ladies of The Warning are learning amazing skills opening for this band. Check out the Knights of Cedonia live from the same venue.

Muse are a brilliant band. Somehow underrated for someone so big

Muse are absolutely brilliant !!!!!

Don't go down the Muse rabbit hole expecting the lyrics to make sense 😂 they're more so there to add to the melody. Matt even goes as far as to vocalise a whole guitar solo rather than using a guitar. But they are amazing live, no one like them!

His plug in baby is his guitar. He's given up on a toxic relationship and now he's all his guitar. That's how I read it.

Best live band EVER, been to six or seven and with each one the guys go just get better and better….if that’s even possible 🎸

Muse is going to be happy :)

Especially as the song is in English and the crowd is Italian, singing along as if they understand every word.

*Music* = MUSE + Sick 😎👍

I'm pretty sure they still hold the record for destroying the most instruments on stage. They stopped a while ago when they started to get their kit custom made, but I still remember them doing it on a live kids tv show. They'd obviously been booked by somebody who hadn't seen them. Those kids are probably still in therapy 😂 I saw them live at The Eden Project years ago, and got right to the front. Completely deaf for 2 days after. Totally worth it.

hello,Muse fan from more than 20 years now. I've seen them live 15 times. Their shows now have become more than a rock concert. It's an absolute spectacle. The feeling to sing one of your favorite song along with 70k people i think it's unbeatable. If you love crowd sing-a-long, check out their video of Starlight from 2010 (in San Siro, Milan, Italy) I was there. It's one of my favorite memories i have. PS i have my my first The Warning gig in 4 days.. i just can't wait.

I love this performance. And speaking of Muse, since you've reacted to these ladies quite a bit - check out "Automatic Sun" just released by The Warning. Heavy Muse influence.

Oh no I didn't need a deep dive into my own psychology at the end but thanks for reacting to Muse.

Well, you picked their break out song and most classic video ever…but you gotta see em live, bonus to see them in England…you’ll never get over it!

listen to Assassin Live at Mayan 2015 next, you will love it

The song is about his guitar... The plug in baby. Great Video btw!

I seen muse 9 times and there is no describing the sound and vibration of 100,000 people singing along.

Hi All MUSER's!!! Great Reaction!

Audience participation, to me, is Love. MUSE is very interactive with their audience. They are very giving in the writing and more so when live. The audience singing part is an opportunity to express our thank you. Ugh, I sound like i’m in a cult. 😂

This song has to be reacted to while being high in volume. And also, +1 to everyone saying this is one of the best live bands out there. Been to 2 of their concerts a decade apart and they brought the energy both times. Matt becomes a different person live.

I first saw Muse in a tiny club (The Cavern) in Exeter, UK not far from their home town. This was well before they were famous. I thought they were a poor wannabe Radiohead at the time. Wasn't impressed. ....and that ladies and gentlemen is why I never worked as a talent spotter! In my mid 50's now and they are one of the best live acts I've ever seen. Not so keen on their last few albums but still an unmissable show whenever they are touring.

Hi Koality, What a coincidence. After your last video of comfortably numb, I told you about how much this song is admired by Dany from The Warning and today you react to Muse! This band is The Warning's favourite band and last year The Warning opened for them in Mexico. Matt Bellamy from Muse was so impressed by The Warning that he invited the girls to open for them in the UK. One of the sisters' proudest moments. Matt from Muse was so impressed again he gifted Dany a yellow Manson guitar. Check out Automatic sun by The Warning that was released on Friday just gone. It has some Muse influences. Thanks Koality. 🤟

Muse rules!

I imagine a plug in baby. Maybe like an artificial intelligence kinda robotic thing? Superficialality? The title always got me.

Go see them live. I have 3 times. Take my word u won't be disappointed. Best shows I've ever been to. Go watch them on their own tour, not at a festival. The production that goes into their show are second to none

I've seen them 6 times live in Lisbon and they are the best!

They're the biggest band in the world

Audience participation huh, check out ‘muscle museum live Shepherd’s Bush empire 2017 multicam’ you’re welcome

do more muse!! especially from this concert :) you pick the song, every one is good

Sunburn Muse live Glastonbury 2004, amazing stuff

For something completely new (and also JUST as exciting), check out the truly phenomenal Scottish alt-rock band Biffy Clyro. You will not be disappointed!

saw them live last june and they were amazing!

You must go and see them live. They are probably the best live band on the circuit. The album stuff is brilliant, but the live stuff is 1000% better. People seem to forget they’re a three piece (mainly), but when live the fourth member comes in for the keyboard/synth stuff.

You are definitely allowed to pause in the middle. It’s a reaction! I hate no-analysis vids where I'm just watching somebody watching. And hey, the original is out there, folks!

Went to watch muse last year for my 4th show they one of last stadium bands going for a three piece Matt Chris and Dominic rule would definitely see them more and more again

The original demo version of Plug In Baby was recorded before the matrix but the studio version was recorded after it. In the demo it goes "God is in me and I'm in virtual reality I'm tired of living"

It's a song about a guitar.

Muse are amazing live. Matt Bellamy is one of the few remaining actual rock stars. Insanely talented.

My favourite Muse track, the fifth track of the album Origin of symmetry. My interpretation of it is that it’s about the reliance upon technology and the things that it can suppress in your life. Perhaps it implies a longing for a meaningful connection and the desire to escape the alienation that technological advancements can sometimes bring. You definitely picked a great performance, couldn’t have picked a better one myself! From the same concert and album their cover of Nina Simone’s Feeling good is a great follow up, Matt puts his own spin on it and makes it spectacular! You can probably understand why a certain other trio have idolised them for so long and were so excited to be able to tour with them! I enjoyed your emotional reactions to the song, I am the same myself about Muse!

The lyrics of that entire album are meaningless from a songwriting perspective, it was just little phrases and words thayt sounded good to him. People have all sorts of intepretations on the lyrics but ultimately they were written as pretty much gibberish. I believe there was a baby mopnintor in a catalog called a 'plug in baby' and the name made them laugh so they used it in the song.

If you like audience participation, I believe there is no more moving performance than in Lara Fabian - Je t'aime - Live in Paris, 2001 Watch with subtitles please! Lara Fabian - Je t'aime - Live in Paris, 2001 I'm loving your reactions!

Ah, such a fun song. Glad it got through and made it public! To me, it's always been a lovehate song between him or the band and the music industry. The "plug in baby" would be the guitar. Or, as always, it's a breakup song
