@@zeratul78 Agreed. Showbiz and Origin of Symmetri was really good. I remember back in the late 90's & early 00's when I was a big fan of Muse and couldn't understand why they weren't widely popular among the masses. Then something happened in 2003 or something like that when the song Unintended all of a sudden got attention. It was all downhill from that moment as they fell into the pop culture hole. Oh well, as long as Tool don't do the same. (:

Wow. "His voice is like a guitar" is probably the best analogy for how he is able to create the near seamless connection between his vocals and the rest of the band. This is why I find them to be so captivating because when you listen to them, you're not just listening to the guitar of the drums or bass, you're listening to ALL of it in concert so to speak.

Your observation about Matt's falsetto sounding like a guitar note is spot on. There are many songs where he purposely sings in a way that blends into the actual guitar notes he's playing, becoming almost indistinguishable.

Around @3:50 you say he sounds like a guitar. Well, supposedly, on showbiz (muscle museum I believe) he messed up the guitar solo during the recording and so he just sang it and added distortion in post. It sounds just like a real guitar. Matt Bellamy is insane.

You can really hear the obviousness of it being his voice in the Soulwax remix, which is way more stripped down in terms of instrumentation, and its easier to discern that the timbre is simply not that of a guitar. It's especially obvious in the way the notes bend, as its kind of difficult to achieve that quality of bending notes like that on guitar. You can get close, for sure, but there are just subtle things here and there that give it away. Professional singer/producer/multinstrumentalist for over 20 years here, for reference.

Uggh most overrated singer of the past three decades in rock. He mumbles everything and has no range compared to someone like Matt Bellamy. The worst is when much better singers (see Scott Weiland of STP) get accused of being Eddie Vedder clones because they sing in their baritone range (which is pretty uncommon in modern rock music.) That said, Black is an excellent song and very emotional, so at least your choice is decent.

I was studying abroad in Europe around 2001, happened to see some footage of Muse performing live at some kind of Festival. Instantly went out and bought Origin of Symmetry and was amazed at how good it was (and how amazing his voice is and their live performances).

Muse is freakin amazing!!! Im so happy that i was able to see them Live and it was my first Muse concert at too and it was such a good show!!!

Love Muse! Thanks for reacting! I’ve seen them a couple of times live and they’re allways great. Saw them first time at the Roskilde Festival in the early 2000’s. The drummer had lost his dad a couple of days prior and they were all quite moved by it, dedicating the concert to hum. They delivered one of the most memorable, heartgrabbingly sincere concerts I’ve ever seen! Getting the chills now, just thinking about it.

Thank you very much! I just remembered again feels I felt in time when I been muse's fan in 2006-2009 - before resistance era

Hot take: one of the best live shows I've ever seen that rivals even Tool, Flaming Lips, & NIN!¡!¡!

It’s hard to explain why Matt is such a good singer. Some people would just listen once and hear flaws and say that he sounds weird (not perfect). But what makes a good singer? I mean he’s not just a singer, he’s so much more and all of that combined makes muse one of the best genuine bands ever and I’m - ...i worship them.
