  • Leadbelly... none can compare to it

  • was expecting dogshit, but actualy pretty good

  • Oi Bellamy, Leeeeaaave iiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt.

  • i luv metallic muse) goosebumps//

  • Well, this is one way to ruin a classic song.

  • God, I love MUSE!

  • probably alone here, but i think this is miles better than the original

  • Hipster alert!

  • Wow! Never heard this one before. Doesn't appear in any discography that I've seen either. But it's great. Wonder if it's on iTunes?

  • Its alright, vocals are good, but obvs the original is better.

  • oh no!!! it's fuckin terrible!!!!

  • @tifosoviola94 I bet you like resistance.

  • @stephenp4ul i don't like any songs of muse.....i think that they are commercial...and i don't like commercial music

  • @tifosoviola94 they are not commercial, they just have one or two songs commercial now and if they're commercial, its not their fault, its the shit media, the shit radio that use the same song everytime... so the problem its the shi1t radio that you listen!

  • Bloody terrible. Just..No.

  • @talt87 Twilight fan.

  • @stephenp4ul ..Exactly how am I a twilight fan for prefering the original above this piece of trash?

  • @talt87

    This? Trash? Lol.

  • @talt87 go get a life....ur geting no relationship by reading twilight books u know

  • @themusedogg ..Dafuq? What the hell does Twilight have to do with anything? I hate Muse. Period.

    Sides, I have a girlfriend I'm perfectly happy with. ^.^ More than what can be said about yuuuuh~

  • @talt87 i think more pple agree with me

  • @themusedogg Dafuq?

  • @themusedogg

    I do. :L

  • @talt87 knob

  • What a load of shit

  • @TeamAcXa I think you may have just brought up your webcam... You may or may not want to turn it off.

  • This is a very nice cover, the vocals are just amazing! My only complaint is the electric background and distortions. It is very noisy that it hurts my ears a little. But besides that, Muse did a fine job.

  • not as good as original but still amazing

  • Very impressed, great job.

  • Moymoypalaboy's version is the best.

  • The Animals version will always be my favourite, but wow... Muse, you never fail to amaze me. 

  • WOW..... just wow........ im fucking astonished, massive thumbs up to the best cover of my most favorite tune of all time, 5 stars boys

  • t francais?

  • No one will be able to sing this song like the animals do!!! (even if you are Muse)

  • @Kindtoall4ever You're right they animals are brilliant but you should listen to the original version by leadbelly, it's strange but quite awesom.

  • @blairejack you're right leadbelly was brilliant but you should listen to the earlier version by texas alexander, it's strange but also quite awsome.

  • Comment removed

  • I freaking love Animals, but this cover is amazing. They are just incredible. And am I the only one who thinks this is one of the best vocals from Matt? His voice is just... ok I can't describe it.

  • @Corleonetone YOU SUCK

  • meh!i'm quite indifferent to this

  • I love how people are saying that the original is better, I'd bet a years wages on the fact that hardly anyone on youtube has ever heard the original, seeing as it has never been accredited to anyone in particular. The Animals version is the most commercially known version of it, but it was first released in the 1930's.

  • @andydale78 its got16mil views more than this

  • @catacu5 and your point is?

  • @andydale78 more people have heard of the original so I'll have your weeks wages

  • @catacu5 The point I was making is that The Animals version, isn't the original, The Animals version was recorded in 1964, the first known recording was released in the 1930's. So, seeing as you have lost the bet, I win. oh, and the wager was a YEARS wages :D

  • @andydale78 you can have my wages but I'm still at school so don't have a job and I wasn't aware they weren't the original, my bad

  • @catacu5 wow, conceding a point on youtube and not turning into an internet tough guy. well done.

  • @andydale78 how am I being an "internet tough guy" ?

  • @catacu5 I said ''Not turning into an internet tough guy.'' no offence intended but I assume you learned to read in school?

  • @catacu5 also, please link which house of the rising sun video has 16 million more views than this one, the highest I have found in 14 million more.

  • Muse's style прикольно)

  • Animals is the best but this probably the second best by far. This just goes super hard.

  • Love Muse, but not this version...

  • I like this way more than the Aminal's version. For me this is in your face, fast, furious and as always Matt's vocals are quality.

  • People clearly don't understand British bands, haha

    The recording doesn't do it justice

  • love this version (thought the animals version is still probably the best). Muse = <3

  • An okay version. Of course Animals are better, but Matt's singing alright. The arrangment however isn't just it.

  • ахренеть. 

  • Shit.

  • @surfbo You don't have to like the song, but you also don't have to put everyone who dose like this song down by saying it sucks. It has different lyrics because muse is putting there own twist on it.

  • @surfbo Whit a sec. they got the lyrics right. they just shortened the song a bit. What's with all this "learn the lyrics" crap!?

  • The creepiness of the Animals version is what makes it so incredible and just can't be replicated. Matt actually does a decent job singing but the distortion kind of kills it. Not bad. Muse could have done better if they actually tried, sounds like this one was for fun.

  • @johnnyg129

    Yeah, that's what a lot of their B-Sides are like. Just them mucking around for fun. I actually prefer Matt's voice to the guy in The Animals. Has more emotion if you ask me.

  • @johnnyg129 yeah, it really didn't need the distortion. It's pretty good but would've been better without it.

  • Animals version=Amazing

    Muse version=Amazing in a totally different way

    Both are awesome. Other versions are decent too, but those two are my favorites.

  • @MUSEFAN8383 What are you thinking about Thin LIzzys version of it?

  • lmao this is funny but great

  • No original. That is the beauty of this song. Can cover it however you want ~ it's the story behind it that counts! Muse obviously knows wtf is going on!

  • They played this song at the LA Rising but only the beginning

  • this song makes me shiver! how can i download this?

  • @TheJackinder Youtube converter just google it...

  • FUCK YOU DISLIKERS THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!

  • This is my favourite version of this song EVER, I wish they'd play the whole song live instead of just the intro D:

  • I was about to turn this off coz I thought it was the wrong song! :O It's totally different. I adore the original. I'm gonna have to get used to this, because it's odd....

  • this version is amazing period!

  • The best interpretation ever... Now I cannot listen to The Animals version - it is too plain.

  • ...Muse allways suprise me :)  i like it :)

  • twinkle twinkle little star excellent idea.muse would bump that up a little.i would like to hear them doing princess of the strees by the stranglers that would be good but t.t.little star i think it will happen[eh! matt].

  • yuck

    

  • people listen , if you don't like muse , don't listen to it and stop writing negative comments !

  • Bloody hell, that's heavy! :D

  • this is...different i should say..not good but not bad.

  • Hm, I know this won't be a popular comment on this thread, but oh well. This music, like a lot of today's music, is kind of bloated, over-the-top, and not really great. I mean a lot of people today think it's great, and to them it may well be, but if you're one of these folks: do yourself a favor: get a pair of nice headphones and start obsessing over the music of the 30s - 60s. Billie Holiday's voice, Benny Goodman's Quartet, Lightnin Hopkin's Blues, The Velvet Underground, Ennio Morricone

  • @denofcool I think it's just you that has a different sense of music. I really like Muse and none of that music from the 30s to the 60s can even come close to them in my taste. I don't think there's any point in trying to change peoples sense of music. because people listen to what they like, and they may not like the music you're listening to. Let's just make everyone choose their own style and leave it be. i know I personally will never be able to listen to your music without getting tired...

  • @denofcool AMEN!

  • @denofcool i like those guys you mentioned but if you listen carefully(wich i think you didnt) to muse;radiohead;nine inch nails,Primus,there are more.you' ll see there's more to that than you think it is and dont be pretentouis in way:"old music rokz new suck" because its not true

  • excessive effects, didn't like it, but i'm not a big fan of these guys, i thought i could give them a chance, but not my style, sounds too artificial

  • @dbyo88 then why do u listen to it? do yourself and us a favor and fuck off

  • stupidity

  • its terrible the animals version is great it sucks

  • okay, it was an old folk song. but it was made famous by the animals. so everyone shut the fuck up. i like the cover anywho

  • Person below me........... YOU'RE DISCUSTING

  • bloody hell... this is discusting

  • Great cover

  • what album would this be on if i converted it to mp3?

  • Fucking shit. This is awesome.

  • Luv muse

  • I AM ADDICTED TO THIS COVER <3

  • wow beautiful cover

  • best cover i've heard of this song Muse is the best!

  • full of utter shite!

  • Personally, I prefer this version to the Animals' version. Not that they did it badly or anything - I just like the way Muse did it.

  • I like the version; nice attempt, but Animals did it best

  • Amazing

  • Actually the first known existence  of this song was in the early 1800's. But who cares, it has survived the times and been performed by many great artists.

  • About a brothel.

  • oh and for the record i think that muse is extremely talented

  • :DD !!! de los mejor covers de MUSEE !!!

  • i think i just Jizzed xD. i am Definately gonna cover this the best i can in my band.

  • Pompous,ugly,awful sacrilege!!!

  • @Melevolentzeroenvoy You, sir, are a pompous,ugly,awful person.

  • hanno rovinato un pezzo storico cosi facendo...

  • fuck synthesizers end of story, period, suck me if u dont agree

  • @acdcpjsp thats pretty stupid....

    The guitar is pretty much a glorified piece of wood...Its the effects you put into it that make it sound good.

    And at the end of the day, u shud appreciate the actual sound that comes out of the instrument rather than the processes to produce the sound and even without effects, the band is pretty talented in general.

  • @patrarok yeah how about make music with out fucking stupid effects that takes talent

  • @acdcpjsp There's more to musical talent than just singing and playing an instrument.

    and @patrarok it's* their*

  • @I0ttie yeah there is actually understanding musical theory and being able to apply it to music. muse does a really good at trying to mix up their sound. i just get tired of them too fast

  • @patrarok and that is the stupidest thing ive ever heard. you dont need effects to make music. why has everyone forgotten that

  • @acdcpjsp mate, its there style, and it sounds good to me, end of story

  • yeah sorry to make a big deal about nothin, i just get a little of sick of new music these days

  • @patrarok @patrarok Ever heard of an acoustic guitar? Some people even play though an amp without any added effects. Imagine that.

  • @ColonelHoraldo for f sake...im not saying that good music cant be made by not having any synth. All im trying to say that having synth doesnt ruin the music, and normally benefits it. But ofcourse music without synth sounds good aswell...I was just telling acdcpjsp to that using synth shudnt be considered to be negative.

  • @patrarok "The guitar is pretty much a glorified piece of wood...Its the effects you put into it that make it sound good." -Your words. You can't blame me for assuming that you meant a guitar couldn't sound good without effects.

  • I hate the instrumental in this.

  • @DaBloodyBrit5172 the original is from The Animals...

  • @MoldyMuffinBuns there is no 'original', it's a folk song that was passed down. no one knows who the original author was. Even then, the first recording of it was in the 1930s, before The Animals came along.

  • @gunta534 it goes even further back than that: 'Alan Price of The Animals has claimed that the song was originally a sixteenth-century English folk song about a Soho brothel, and that English emigrants took the song to America where it was adapted to its later New Orleans setting.' from our friend wikipedia :-)

  • @gunta534 true! I think it's about time people think before speaking.

  • @gunta534but this definitely is a cover from the Animals, although the Animals didn't write the original.

  • @FreeLanceWarrior Maybe you should go listen to the original ;)

  • @MilesGuitarist There is no known original. Every version of this song is a cover.

  • @DaBloodyBrit5172 No original? is that even possible?

  • @MilesGuitarist Most folks songs don't have an orginal. There'll be an orginal recording but chances are it wouldn't be by the writer.

  • Comment removed

  • I absolutely love the energy I can feel in this song... I mean, I love and respect the covers other people do, and that’s how their covers are supposed to sound, but this is Muse’s cover. It’s played how THEY want it, and it’s amazing.

    Though even I might say Dom went a bit overkill with the crash XD

  • This cover is terrible. Look up the animals or lead belly if you want to hear this song like it's meant to be heard.

  • @TheToastedToasters

    Ok, you obviously have a lot of authority on this subject, please come down for a complimentary luncheon at the Merry Herpes Hotel.

  • @jessaraptor Cool your jets turbo, I don't have beef with you. I hate this cover. House of the rising sun is a blues song about remorse; this cover removes the soul of the song and the meaning of it just becomes words with an annoying techno backbeat. Also, using the word 'authority' in your sentence where you did doesn't make any sense, it would infer I have dominance on the subject where in reality I've posted an opinion, something you fans don't seem to comprehend,

  • @TheToastedToasters

    It seems like you have a lot of KNOWLEDGE ON THIS SUBJECT, seeing as you know what it is like to have no soul, and annoying words.

    Capslock = replacement for authority because it is a really difficult word.

  • WILL MUSE EVER STOP BEING AWESOME!?!?!?!?!?

  • Great vocals

    but can not compare with the classicals like the animals

  • MY GAAAAAAWWD!!!

  • AWESOME COVER , I love it !! :D

  • Beest Cover of this song that will ever exist!!!

  • Sick.

  • wow that was shit

  • @wr2809 Wow, fuck off. ;D

  • i love house of the rising sun, and i love muse, but this disappointed me.

  • @yddraigarian

    I AGREE!! What a disgrace!

  • @westex245 , if you knew some music, you would understand that Muse made to lose the essence of the song, I'm not saying that Muse is a bad group, I think quite the opposite, Muse is a good group but I think it is wrong to make this cover,

  • this cover sucks

  • @KurtManuel your mom sucks she gave birth to a retard baby

  • So typical, as soon as one cover doesn't keep it self near the original version, everyone starts to dislike it -.- Just because Muse made a more rockier version with more shouting (which I love btw) and dared to be more out there with this one. People need to be more open minded. This version rocks, and I prefer to listen to Muse version than The Animals, who did not write this song btw. I like theirs too, but this one is more my cup of tea ;)

  • @Mizzbesserwisser

    Some songs just work better in different ways. i.e. I feel that "Baby Please Don't Go" has been done better in it's covers than it's original. Yet with this, it just doesn't feel right. I like Muse, but simply this song just seems to work best with some random dude (or girl, which was the intended singer when it was written) and an acoustic guitar (not really the Animals). But I would love to see "Baby Please Don't Go" from Muse.

  • @Mizzbesserwisser I totally agree with you :)

  • @Mizzbesserwisser Well said, well said. You, my friend, are very wise :)

  • This is a disgrace...

  • Have to say it took me a while to get used to this but now I love it... My most played Muse song on Itunes and I go around the house singing it too :) Obsession or what! :D

  • Muse is now supporting U2 on tour... U2! Perhaps they will open up for Bon Jovi in future. But this cover and a lot of other songs will last forever.
