@@robertdurst9089 He hummed in tune completely and has perfect pitch as perfect as it can be when dealing with humans. He is not listening to it against the music, thats what the mute button on each track is for, removing it from the song so you can hear other instruments better. He is more focused on getting the sound he wants out of that midi controller. He was multitasking by working on the music while also working out a melody. He also sings in a very similar style to Freddie Mercury since that who he was influenced by and that indirectly means they both are Opera singers. Isolated vocals of Muse and Queen you will hear the similarities, as a matter of fact their song "explorers' literally repeats a chord on the second line of each verse that is exactly the same melody and chord as "don't stop me now". So why is he humming? Its very common to work out a melody by humming and once you find that write words for that melodic flow. Its why the melody is defined by the singer and not the instruments like in classical. He just knew he wanted to start the song with "I" in which he says twice while humming and thats what indicates he was working out a melody. Its why he went way low and looked at Dom and Chris, he is signaling for approval, if they think it sounds good. So I highly doubt he had all the lyrics and melody there and you kind of know it because he went way low and you don't hear him go that low in the song. The only reason I know all of that and can observe them and know what they are doing is I record in a studio and write songs and then mix them. I literally do the same job and yeah thats how we work out a melody. If it had been how you said, it would have already had the vocals recorded, and they would be what is referred to as "guide vocals" for the rest of the band so they could record their parts when he wasn't there together. Just like the fact that he literally had the drums prerecorded tells you he is working out the melody because why wouldn't he be recording himself? Recording and listening back is how we become better singers. He wasn't recording so he wasn't using it in that manner. Hope that makes sense on why he was humming.
I’ve written some music to myself I believe couldve been bangers if other artists dropped them for me under their names. I gotta say, I think melodies can come to you in many ways. Could be by improvising some humming. Or by thinking and then repeating what you thought with your voice or an instrument.
LMFAO 5:15 the moment Matt confused himself with his penmanship. He literally looks confused on what that actually says. Jesus his handwriting lol, it was written broken up its why he can't remember what it means. The first words he wrote was "Guitar 2nd", then he knew he wouldn't remember why he wrote it and clarified it with "2 or 1 VS". So what it means is either the second or first verse the guitar comes in, it can be deduced because of the structure of the song "Explorers" where he chose to introduce more instruments into the song, they do that a lot, I also think the guitar he was thinking of was the bass. Clearly thats how he did the song so I am assuming he figured that out. But man was confused for a hot second. The reason he wrote the numbers backwards is he wanted to make sure the first idea was tried first, making it come in on the 2nd verse, he would have fell back on the first verse if it sounded better to him. Also the fact this man can hum off the cuff in tune is why he is such a great singer. Not everyone can hum a melody to the same standard they would sing the words. He is one of the best singers to learn from because of the amount of techniques and control he is using vocally, practicing him gives you the ability to also sing Queen and Meatloaf, both rock stars who sang like Opera singers. He sings like them so his vocals should be expected to be of the highest caliber since Opera singers are really the best singers.
SM58 is a very versatile dynamic mic. Directional, great for close micing of instruments. Like the SM57 is. Stops unwanted surround noises creeping in such as cymbals Tom's etc. Great for live vocals too to stop feedback. I depends of course what sound on the kit you are after. They often use matched pair condenser mics for the overhead recording of the kit. That gives a live spacious sizzly room vibe.. Its an art form recording just drums. 👍
I like how this band wears their influences on their sleeves. First Matt starts humming George Michael’s Faith, and then I scroll to 3:20 and there’s a U2 beat.
earlier, i was listening to liberation from will of the people album. I'm wondering why the piano part sound kind of familiar. then i watch last 2 minutes of this video. that's the answer!
Chris: *showing Dom how to play it and smiling Dom: Chris: *once again smiling Dom: *yoow stop it, Man! ------ Dom: ndhek icw jsheu pxcsz? Chris: NAAAAH!
Whaaaay,whaaay,don't they sing Big Freeze ? I felt Dom would have like ,to.And he would have been,a big part of this song.I will never understand,why won't they..
Isn't it incredible seeing the birth of a song right in front of you.
so true, im in awe
Yes, they should have considered abortion.
@@sophiafake-virus2456nope
It's crazy but cool how Matt can just start humming something as soon as he hears notes and it becomes a song. Fascinating.
The song was already written, he was just humming it to hear how it sounded against the instrumental

Yep... that's how melodies are written!
Brother hate to break it to you but you didn't watch Matthew Bellamy improvise a whole ass melody right there.
It was already written more or less.

I remember watching this when it first came out on iTunes. I was mesmerised. It’s still one of my all time favourite songs by Muse.
That final moment between Matt and Chris is so wholesome.
Big props for showing the creative process that goes into evolving a modern day hit song.
My god, 9 years ago? I remember being hyped about this 🤦♂️ seems like it was just.. yesterday lol
10 years.
It was released in 2012 so it was 10 years ago.
@@siobhan28483 AND YOUR MOM WAS RELEASED TEN YEARS AGO, SO WAS SOL BADGUY'S MOM. lol jk... i've been having some stress lately. yeah 10 years ago...
now I'm gonna leave a comment here just so it will remind you that you commented 2 months ago already xD
Ikr 😮😮😮 they don't make songs like this nowadays sadly
Muse are truly at their best when the tomfoolery comes out
The tone on those kick drums is amazing
Muse is truly one of the best bands of all time because they are ONLY 3 PEOPLE and their sounds are so fucking FULL
The secret to that is the bass
@@miguelpereira9859Exactly! We hold the whole band together.
I am JEALOUS of how cool that touchpad guitar is
It's a bass man...respect it :)
It’s a Kaoss Pad, Matt has some of them intergrated in his guitars
@@duongallen4094 ohhhhh, cool! I gotta get me one of those
It’s not a kaoss pad, it’s a misa kitara, unfortunately they don’t make them anymore
@@sammckiernan9315 oh yeah my mistake, it’s not his signature manson
Absolutely loved that album.
i find it craziest they could record the process of making a song, it’s usually just so much Mmmmmadness
I love these original lyrics. Legend!
Is he actually saying something?
@@VinylUnboxings thats the joke lol
@@bjanss8585 sorry I don't listen to muse
@@VinylUnboxings nonono it has nothing to do with the actual song it is that he just hummed the lyrics to see if it fits
@@bjanss8585 thanks lil homie
It's amazing to see the birth of this song so naturally
1:30 i agree with you matt!
That was hilarious😂
he made a solid point ngl
I say yes to that drum sound!
top 5 ever imo. the live from rome is my favorite sounds even better than the audio
definitely the best song of the album, and funny enough it has a very similar song structure as dead inside which is also my favorite from that album
The last two minutes are beautiful.
One of my favourite drummers
that guy with his feet on the mixing board makes me super anxious
Wish I coulda had a group of buds like this. Still looking.
And that's as close to Big Freeze live we'll get.
This literally gave me chills
Chris has such kind eyes and a kind expression)
If I had that guitar...I would do that and that only all day every day.
0:15 ah yes, a $100,000 foot rest.
I always love this part 03:20 dom drum

just need a "won't stand down-behind the scene"

Kind of cool seeing the 9000Bs on the meter bridge.
My favorite song of theirs and first time ever seeing them. Awesome video peoples
You might even call these some..... uncut jaaaams
Have you ever wonder where the big boyz are? They're mixi'n a new masterpiece.
So wait. They record all their own shit without producers and techs all over the room? They truly are from another planet
There’s a bunch of other people around tho?
Thats actually normal, if you take a look outside of the 500 most popular and successfull musicians
I see one or two tecs
The fact they mic’d the snare with an Sm58 is wild
Isn't a 58 just the same as a 57 but with a different shapes head?
@@BellsCuriosityShop pretty much, it’s still pretty crazy they would use such a low end mic though

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the process.
Genius....
the drummer is an elf
Everyone was like: Hey, can I play with that?
Guy be like: Hey, first you ask me to move to bass, now...
Good for Chris and his hair transplant lol

Trying so hard to look so cool
So much jealousy

Mi cancion favorita de muse, la amo, hasta para dormir la escucho
ive literally never seen a guitar like that before what the hell
Sounds like queen, its a kinda magic
2:04 same brown earth, nice
I don't reckon people will be watching this, like we are the Let it be sessions.
So that's how the greatest song of all time was made
Personally I prefer unnatural selection or new born

Great to see the creative process at work, but Madness was the beginning of the end for me with Muse.
Odd someone other then Chris helped track the bass for explorers
Wow... would have imagined the lyrics be completed before this process...
I guess that's why i don't write 🎶 music.
Lol
Best thing happened this decade….
Never failed me

@@Tat2Dragons Thanks.
Bummer that they don't make them any more.
@@gabe_s_videos You’re welcome.
yo i love Muse
Is a need your love o A need to love ?
Anyone know the first song absolutely love that music production
The name is madness
MasyaAllah bang Mamat
I think big freeze is better with piano sound like this
It sounds like Faith by George Michael
I mean it's I want to break free at the start
This sounds like other song from U2. And I stilllll haven't found what I'm looking for
where is this from?
It's included on the album CD.
And thus Muse invented dubstep
ahaha no
Such Cool Beings!
What song was the result of the drumming part?
Big Freeze
What guitar is that? Yes you know which one in talking about
Misa Kitara, not made anymore
5:15 I wonder what Chance was.
