CDMX.- Matt Bellamy seems to have gone crazy and begins to destroy his guitar on stage, in the middle of the Muse show. He throws his instrument around, and when his strings snap, he grabs the free end and spins around before dropping it.
The act of the band’s vocalist was almost announced since they started their concert at the Foro Sol this Sunday night, as Bellamy, drummer Dominic Howard and bassist Chris Wolstenholme came out masked and hooded, ready to destroy everything and start a revolution .
After playing in Guadalajara and Monterrey, the British landed in Mexico City, where they made 65,000 fans jump and scream, a figure provided by the organizers, ecstatic with their Will Of The People World Tour.
Being inspired by their album last year, the tour’s self-titled, in the rebellious spirit, the musicians left that stamp on their clothes, adorned as if they had been marked by spray paint, and also on a head of about 10 meters, hooded and masked, who kept an eye on everyone.
The set kicked off with “Will Of The People,” “Psycho” and “Won’t Stand Down,” which immediately got the crowd singing along, elated as Bellamy jumped up and down as he played.
Flares of fire and blue and white streamers, these released during “Compliance,” added to the visual spectacle.
In contrast to the rudeness with which they attacked their instruments, the band had, with their public, affection and delicacy, so much so that the vocalist addressed the fans mainly in Spanish, to thank them.
“We love you,” he shouted in the only intervention in English.
In response, he received a Dr. Simi masked as the musicians as he came out on stage, which he showed off before escorting a giggle.
His followers were totally dedicated, because when they started the first notes of their spoiled songs they chanted at the top of their lungs, as they did with “Madness”, which they also accompanied with the lamps of their cell phones.
During “Psycho,” the drummer banged his sticks in the air and smirked as he saw the audience palm up in time, without the band having to ask for it.
The trio’s traditional technological stamp shone through, especially when they performed “Uprising,” for which Bellamy donned an electronic glove, which was also an instrument, which led to “Starlight.”
After almost an hour and a half of unbridled passion, Muse said goodbye with his hit “Knights of Cydonia”, with the frontman demonstrating his ability to treat the guitar well, which left people totally turned on.
As a gift photo postcard, Bellamy covered his head with a Mexican flag.
