Muse is the best live band on the planet.

After watching three of my live Muse dvd's today it's obvious that nobody can out-perform Muse. They're just the best. They play and sing everything perfectly and are always improving their songs by adding/changing different sections of the song, by either playing or singing it differently. Everything they do on stage just has so much energy. Go watch a live Muse performance and compare it to any other band. Muse is the best ever.

edit: I KNOW that this is an opinion and I HAVE seen them in person and not just on dvd. Also, I'm not claiming to be an expert on the subject.

You can say that Muse is your favorite band live, sure, but it's such a subjective thing that stating them as unconditionally the best live band on the face of the planet is a rather bold statement to make.quiglythegreat

Well they are. 8)

Radiohead is really good too, but Thom really isn't as exciting to watch.

They improvise on their songs you sayyyyy! Whoa! I've never heard of such a thing! That's crazy!NecroKvltMuffin

But they do it awesomely. That's the difference. I've seen bands change a few notes here and there but Muse adds completely new things to songs.

I disagree.Samwel_X

Not a huge NIN fan, but I admit that was really good.

This, though, is much better.

Okay fine, in my opinion they're the best live band on the planet.

Who do you think is better?

Its a war you want? :P

This is a sound problem ridden Woodstock performance that managed to win a Grammy...

Have another from the same performance...

Have you even actually seen them live, not on a DVD? It is a different experience.Engrish_Major

I have, and it was incredible.

I agree, some of the songs played live are easily better than their studio created ones.

Okay, it's on.

(All three from the same night.)

The scream at 2:03 makes this 100% awesomer.

Killer piano skillz.

And an epic finisher. (One of the best Muse songs ever)

The ones you showed were really good, now I can't wait to see those guys at Lollapalooza.

Yeah I like Muse.

but i've never been to a live anything before.

Yeah, I'll be catching NIN for a seventh time on their next UK tour...

That piano playing was crazy.

anyway, back to the battle...

I'll pick from other tours as well to show the consistency of brilliance...

Oh and there is some strong language on those... so yeah... there's the warning...

I'm glad you're showing me all these, I'm a lot more excited to see these guys now.

Happiness In Slavery was still the best out of all the ones I've seen so far, that was amazing.

Anyway, back to Muse.

Here's another, prepare for epicness at 3:30.

And one more, just to show of their slower side.

I tried to find some videos of the show I was at, but most are pretty bad quality.

Dethklok FTW!!!!

lol, MCR is my fave..

Muse is great prob my fave band or at least in my top 5.

Other great live bands: Rage Against the Machine, Placebo, Arctic Monkeys.

congratulations, you've created another Muse fan.

Blackout was good.

Here is a final video from me tonight. Turn the on stage energy up to 11 :D

Haven't seen her live yet I'm affraid, but Bjork seems absolutely incredible.

The best live vid I've seen from her:

http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=yDYMfm0JQOE

And some vids from a concert in the riverside church (With an eskimo choir):

And finally Declare Independence live on a tv show, with someone playing on a reactable (supposedly only two of those exist worldwide)

I'm not interested in ritualistic contact with humans who are not aware they are even engaging in ritualistic activities.

What I mean is.. live music sucks. Standing around listening to someone play sucks. Social activity sucks.

That was really awesome. Is it common for them to play that live? Cause I would love to see that.

And for my last video, I'll leave you with this. (some language)

Yeah, they always play Wish... I've heard it at every concert I've been to, I tell you when that drum beat starts your heart goes crazy beating... :D

Awesome, that's going to be the highlight of Lolla. After Radiohead of course. :P

I wouldn't say they're the best live band on the planet, but they are entertaining. I have a live dvd of them at Glastonbury perfomed in 2004. The lead singer is definitely a great showman and musician. They do put on a great show.

Muse sucks. There are so many bands Ive seen live that would blow muse out of the water, and Ive seen these bands live in person, not just on dvd where overdubs can be made. Rollins Band, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, NOFX, Bad Religion are all better than Muse live.

hillelslovak

lmao such a terrible list of bands. Don't see how the Peppers made it in because they are actually good, whereas the rest is crap....

Rammstein. FrostyPhantasm

^agreed. but everyone will say differently it's just a matter of taste.
