Muse performing Muscle Museum on the Australian Rage TV on the 10:30 slot in 1999 promoting Showbiz
#found some things in archives!#Muse band#Muse live#Muscle Museum#Showbiz era#Muse were the first performance of the programme#I have another one! Muse's famous laugh made it into Rage's end-of-year compilation guest programmer montage.#There's music over most of the other musician guests' speaking but they've kept in Matt's manic laugh.#As they should lol I'll upload that that soon too#1999#But here's the thing they're freakishly good aren't they? Matt especially when it comes to playing live#Towards the end he's swinging his guitar around so wildly that you'd almost think how the fuck is it possible to still play it??#And yet he does; you can hear it. Perfect note for note. Musician composer and performer; not everyone can excel in ALL three departments#and if you put this era Matt side-by-side with other guitarists from across the ages; at a similar level of live exposure and experience#I am not sure; whether past or present; there are many guitarists that young that come close to him as a performer.#Like sometimes it's easy to wonder how on earth was a guitar band standing out the way Muse were in the early 00s? It was like. Pop-osphere#Guitars weren't like cool. How did Muse garner such a rabid fanbase circa album 1? And then you see the live performances and you remember#if you went and saw them play and then had a normal indie band come on—even ones we hail 20 years later—there's no way they had that.#No other band brought that kind of intensity live. There's no way you'd go to a Muse gig and ever be able to forget the band you just saw#which is something even the biggest Muse dismissers agree with#matt bellamy#chris wolstenholme#dom howard#Rage TV
