Please let me get what I want- Muse

[bigscottyt74]

Love how so many pricks are having a go at Muse for this. When Muse cover a song its their own style not just a copy of the original. This is their way of paying tribute to the original artist rather than being lazy. Those saying Muse are overrated, give yourself a shake. They are one of the Greatest British bands of all time FACT. You cant fill Wembley stadium 2 days running or still be headlining festivals after 15 years if you're shit. People will be covering Muse for decades to come.

[maccantuono]

@bigscottyt74

without the smiths don't exist = muse, coldplay, radiohead, and many others great bands influenced by the smiths as Suede, Blur, Oasis, Echobelly, The Verve, Doves, Arctic Monkeys.........infinite list ............

THE SMITHS ARE BEST BAND OF ALL TIME not muse........

[theErasedCitizen005]

Will someone or please give matt a what he wants!!! D:

[OTAQ93]

santa madre de todo lo bueno! QUE BUEN COVER!

[Dankoichi]

so please pleas please, let me hear an extended version!

[alexypietheguitarguy]

How to ruin a perfect song, lesson 1.

[maccantuono]

@alexypietheguitarguy

exactly !! muse fuck....

[06njblackburn]

muse covers are the best in the world FACT!

[MrMelkonyan]

MUSE!!!

[maccantuono]

THE SMITHS = BEST BAND OF ALL TIME

muse = overrated band

and this version is horrible like all songs of muse

[clangersrule]

@maccantuono :) I'm going to slit your throat while you sleep!

[mozmal]

Oh, no! This is sacrilege.

[donttalkshizzle]

matt.. please please please let me let me let me

[wildley007]

Bloody love this version!!

[LonelyDream666]

if i was in a band ..i would cover this song with all my heart and soul

[VastliverpoolCL]

this is a beautiful song in any genre

[IStehSHIT]

This makes me sad. Not in the way that the actual version does, but in the bad way. I hate this

[Lena60980]

The Smiths <3

[AmA5847]

@tecnovision100 es cuestion de gusto musical... y no es que no hagan canciones propias, simplemente es una cancion muy bonita, y quisieron hacer un cover =P

[tecnovision100]

enserio, este cover no es bueno, hecharon a perder esta cancion super buena de los Smiths, parece que no tienen ingenio, y hacen canciones propias..

[HeyAlez]

You all just see covers like a kind of insult or a way to face somebody. Try to understand that a cover is a way a band pay tribute to the owner of a certain song, in their own style. Just take it easy

[TheEmololz]

I love when the two top comments contradict each other :)

[GeorgeBrooks09]

Wish this was on that John Lewis advert instead....

[anika0mis]

I'm a Muse fan but I don't like this version of the song at all. 

[zepc00]

The smiths are waaaaaaayyyyy better.

[maggotflf]

@zepc00 so what the hell are you doing here?

[zepc00]

@maggotflf well that's just my point of view, I actually don't dislike this version but I in my opinion the original one is way better than this one...sorry if I made you cry.

[rovendies]

WAKALA....

[Vlodrak]

They never intended to replace the smiths version or anything, they were just paying a homage to a beautiful song using their own style. What's wrong with that?

[EternalHysteria]

@Vlodrak Well said sir. Have a cookie

[deshumanigbsfz]

a love this!

[lnu02nlk]

"awesome!" what an overused and useless word.

[miricheers]

Not as good as the Smiths...but it's tolerable (:

'a' for effort??

[aztectatt]

@miricheers agreed but im sure its not supposed to be better or as good, just different

[InsaneWonderWoman]

narrow-minded cunts its a different style.. this is muse not the smiths not radiohead not the original what did u expect when u clicked the link here? i think they did an awesome job

[opaulobastos]

ruined

[myteamisbest]

Got nothing on The Smiths version.

[ventuslml]

como arruinar una cancion ellos saben -w-

[MrsMorrissey13]

I hate Smiths covers, but I really like this version!!

[evelskunny]

what this the nirvana version wtf go for some guitar and vocal lessons douche bag!

[throbbingwartool]

Pretty bad.

[Radiohead4121]

Thom Yorke and Radiohead would've made a way, way, WAY better cover than this, and they wouldn't have ruin the instrumentals also.

[iansmithphotos]

Don't think I have seen a cover with so many dislikes - shame that the song can't be taken on its own face value!

[cptnikola]

not bed....but the smiths with acustic gutar rules

[CitizenErasedRulez]

Messy and Musey. Love it.

[kurniavana]

dont do distortion

[CahJonas]

Of course no one beats The Smiths, but I don't think this is terrible at all, I actually liked it better than the Deftones one.

[Masteriousification]

@CahJonas Deftones>Muse, my opinion.

[shamiir18]

this sucks dick... and I like Muse and all but... sorry, it sucks

[FloTheFool]

i love this song and muse so much but i cant lie that this version wasn't quite pulled off... sorry guys <3

[smokiesnwine]

Lord knows this is terrible.

[MrMuseboy]

@smokiesnwine its amazing smiths version bored me so much

[RanroarProductions]

No one beats the smiths. I love muse but this does not compare at all to the original.

[MrMuseboy]

best version ever !

[TheIndieGorilla]

@Nongamblerpokerfan He learned a word, let him off.

[MyAlexDelarge]

Do I like it? Do I hate it? I don't know, I honestly don't know

[frithles]

Murderer...

[Ericl633]

Not bad but the original version by the smiths is still the best.

p.s. another version by the dream academy in the 80's is also very good.

[AwwwDarn]

THE SMITHS >

[MrMuseboy]

Best version ever, the smiths are shit and their song is shit, muse version is definatly the best

[MorqanCore]

@MrMuseboy Sorry but you're wrong. Just cause you like a band that sounds very similar to radiohead.

[TheSecretSinger100]

@MrMuseboy No they're not :) And learn how to spell definitely :)

[ad0re1]

:O...i'm sorry... did you dip the original version in shit and then pee on it and put it on youtube?

[SplendidDevilNG]

1,080 are mentally deficient.

[larconeptic1]

This is terrible on every single level = Muse have taken a beautiful tiny jewel and dipped it in shite and stamped on it. Infantile. Really.

[Nongamblerpokerfan]

@larconeptic1

.... funny you'd call it infantile. How ironic.

[MrMuseboy]

SO SO SO SO much better than the original !

[TheBeesKnees691]

@MrMuseboy No it's not. Not even close to the beauty of the original. Fair enough, it's an okay version and they haven't destroyed it. But the Smiths are on another level than muse.

[6kingu6iejszyn6]

In my opinion this version is better. But it is my opinion...

[kodatastical]

what the actual fuck. i like them, but this is awful. they took away all the raw soft emotion from the song and turned it into shite. just ugh.

[SEADiablo]

What have they done? One of the worst covers ever, and I've seen some awful covers on Youtube

[Dionysos709]

The only time I have heard a Smiths song and thought "What a pile of shite."

[luv2dogz]

I think I like the Smith's version more. Anger vs. Pleading and sweet.

Not working for me. :(

[mianino]

ma che cazzo è?

[CasualBradley]

They've definitely ruined this song, along with 'Slow Moving Mille' Shame, it's a quality Smiths tune.

[heranematias3]

it's fucking terrible, what the hell were they thinking?

[fidelpetroupoli]

Fucking terrible cover

[undeadbeetroot22]

What a rubbish song! cover ! flagged!

[equimen]

@undeadbeetroot22 what? hahahaha

[lillyduh4u]

@undeadbeetroot22 oop at u hipster

[Clash969]

At least Muse did not do their version after watching the John Lewis advert and by the way MUSE IS AWESOME and so are the The Smiths...so we're all happy XD

[SilverWolf09100]

really people! im sure the original is great but i really like this version

maybe this just isn't your style of music but its still wonderful

[JohnnyLFC5]

just...damn...awful

[OllieHSmith]

this damn-near ruined the original for me...

[Dokdude]

Original is obviously the best version (i love Clayhill's one too, emotional). This one, from muse, is pointless. It's like the karaoke version but with distorted guitars.

[Themanwhocameback2]

This stinks. Pointlessly noisy, shallow and unfelt. Love the original

[NEWBOMBTURKS]

Muse is just paying homage to what was probably one of their favorite bands growing up.  Nothing worse than a cover that plays the original note for note.

[pomarlucerolj]

qe lindo qe es matt es mui parecido a mi profesor de la facultad jaja esta buenisimo

[melancholymoonlight]

Oh awesome. Love Muse. Love The Smiths.

Awesomeness.

[0961743]

I like this cover over the original, not because I'm a fan of Muse, it's the emotion Matt's voice conveys. Have been listening to the Smith version several times now, I just don't feel anything, honestly, he even sounds boring and far too lazy

[CastigatoreDiGaggi]

Where's the vomit button?

[dianapotter19]

@CastigatoreDiGaggi hahahahaha there should definitely be a vomit button.

Not for this though

[evian558]

should have used this version in the john lewis ad

[MorqanCore]

@evian558 No they should of used the original.

[MyrninsGirl]

@evian558 Totally agree!

[iansmithphotos]

@evian558 - you know it...

[Fensor11]

@evian558 they should have used the original.

[xXeMokiDXxMCRXx]

I gotta admit, I've never heard the original properly except clips and this really doesn't sound right, to heavy. I only came on here ad I am a huge Muse obsessee but I don't think it is working for me lol

[DarthRevan182]

I love the Smiths and I love Muse. but this really doesn't work :(. needs a really downbeat vocal not an over the top one

[danmunday1]

Sorry, but this is terrible. Muse have destroyed what was a beautiful, melodic song...

[lozzag13]

@danmunday1 are you speaking from any musical knowledge? totally incorrect usage of the word 'melodic'. yes i agree this is a worse version by some margin, but they use the same melodies, that's what makes it a cover

[danmunday1]

@lozzag13 Do you think I give a rats arse what you think of my use of the word 'melodic'. Get a fucking life and don't go scrutinizing other people's comments...

[heeeynick]

Awesome.

[clangersrule]

@danmunday1 Saw your comment anyway, calm down, it was a joke. Im sure if i had said something like that on a Smiths cover video you would have replied with something similarly light hearted.

[danmunday1]

@clangersrule I'm calm. Joke accepted. Sorry...

[CahJonas]

chiiiillss...

[shade1067]

muse has good songs, but this is pretty fucking bad.

[VastliverpoolCL]

same song,different genre,still good

[AndrewHeard1]

I think this is equally as good as the original in different ways, thing about muse covers is that they're all different to the original and wouldn't be distinctive if they were exactly the same

[lyndseyclarkee]

this is actual crap

[mohamad021]

best

[manuelmonge6172]

I like Muse, but with they just destroyed this masterpiece. Awful cover.

[smullenator]

murdered!



[gibkid]

awful.

[12550lilou]

I think this is not the better song of MUSE.

[TheAuralab]

blahhhh...

[ExaltedTurnip]

prefer MartynaMusic's version. Her chord arrangement a reedy vocals are superb for this song.

[TranslucentBubble]

Not bad cover at all...quite good, actually. =)

[carecareiscool]

horrible.. i think any other band could have done a better job.

[22jesusv]

i think that the best cover of this song is from elefant i looooove that song

[zarzarmusexx]

muse sound amazin in any cover they do. in most of then they r better than the original......thats 1 reason why i love them

[MollyJTinker]

no matter who covers this song, it won't ever be as good as the original by the smiths..but i love muse and this is an amazing cover :-)

[Nongamblerpokerfan]

Haters .... the point of a cover is to make it yours. I love The Smiths and I love Muse and I can appreciate the original just like I can appreciate the cover. You can dislike the cover, but it's not a reason to be impolite, and trash the band.

[MrJinx1100]

or even the Smiths!

[MrJinx1100]

Oh dear, this song really doesnt lend itself to guitar thrashing at all. Leave it to the Simths boys!

[4evainter]

this is awful and yes i dislike heavy metal.. urgh just awful.

[Masteryre]

@4evainter Muse aren't heavy metal. They're pop rock.

[4evainter]

@Masteryre either way this cover is dreadful.

[MisterBlinglicious]

@Masteryre oh boy here we go.

[KnightsHuSayNee]

@Masteryre see: dead star

[quibto]

@Masteryre actually they're indie rock with alternative rock....but know they've become so poppy....

[guitarman2313]

@4evainter u sure dont know anything about music ughh

[4evainter]

@guitarman2313 you consider this drivel music? clearly you don't have any taste.

[DeadlyCroatoan]

Muse could make a Bieber song sound good, very nice cover.

[brrrianbadonde]

@DeadlyCroatoan steady on now...

[ChrisTasr92]

Why does youtube turn people into idiots? Some people forget how to construct sentences and some watch and comment on songs they don't like. If you don't like it, then DON'T WATCH IT.

[maxredbin]

Just Muse messing about...so not serious.....they could do a awesome cover of this if they tried.

[Carbonate303]

fuck them!!!!!!!!!!!

[popy0123]

i think they have just destroyed all the depth the song ever had.

[ibisitibere]

Peace of crap. Leave Smiths alone!

Please please please: let them get what they want.

[missvivers400m]

This version is a load of bolllox! Muse are great for whining and cover versions, i'm gone off them! The Smiths version has more feeling behind it

[jizzmop]

Deftones did it better

[kylewise14]

it's actually called, please please please let me get what want.

[CrazyMadMadi]

Geez people its only a cover get a grip, if you like The Smiths version then go and listen to The Smiths Version. don't like it don't listen to it common sense? Instead of dissing the band because your opinion won't change anything :L:L some people like it some people don't get a grip :L:L

[hapaboi39]

THE SMITHS forever! This song was so well written and perfectly performed by The Smiths.

however......

Muse destroyed this song... fucking awful version.

[RoyaMitchell]

Just No

[MrJordanbailey95]

for all the people saying muse are crap, watch stockholm syndrome live at glastonbury 2004. i will then accept your apology for blaspheming against rock gods.

[TheRoccoFin]

Muse... Please let me get what I want and quit!!! You really raped this beautiful song from the best band of the world

[samboasis]

shut be fucking shot for doing this, muse are shit i hope they die.

[anaherco]

I love Muse and I love the Smiths. I love the original version and Muse's cover, deal with it. Why the heck you all even compare Smiths' version and Muse's IDIOTS. 'Course Smiths' will always win. FREAKING DEAL WITH IT.

[alrightnicenice]

THIS IS JUST AWFUL, IT PUTS SHAME ON WHAT IS NO DOUBT A GREAT SMITHS SONG! massive fail

[DIGIxPUNKx1996]

@alrightnicenice THIS PERSON HAS COMPLETELY MISUNDERSTOOD VIDEO AND PUT SHAME ON WHAT WAS A PERFECTLY VALID POINT. massive-er fail.

[OnionTerror2007]

Typical. They are trying too hard to make it 'rock'. It doesn't sound from the heart. Failure, imo.

[jerisevil]

Muse is the ultimate circle jerk band.

[Mynamesbob8]

One of the worst covers I've ever heard. There's no need for the over the top distortion when you're covering a song that is acoustic and supposed to sound sincere. It's one thing to put your mark on a song you're covering but this is just too much.

[xasdrubalex]

ahahaha this song reminds me why Muse are PURE CRAP. <3

[kt76943]

oh god

this is horrible

why try and cover a song that is already so perfect? ;__;

[ScoTExcell]

I am an avid Smiths fan and despite all the negative vibes I think this is a great cover and couldn't think of a better band to do it justice. I am also a Muse fan so it meshed perfectly for me

[elizmanandhar1]

this is so freakin' unfair! of all the bands out there, these idiots get to cover such a classic... also, this sucked, bigtime...

[anathema891]

come on my dear muse....DO NOT touch such legendary songs...let The Smiths do it!...

[alternativebassist]

@anathema891 why? Are you threatened by a better band doing it better?

[radioheadlover100]

When I'm sad I listen to The Smiths version, when I'm angry I listen to this version :)

[ALTAKIDD]

i want the smiths!!!!!!!!! 

[chevrier233]

the top comment is "remember that music is a liberal art" ? wow.. the internet is worse than i realized

[EddieeDew]

what a load of shit!

[roguetrooper96]

i like EVERY version of this song, coz its just that fucking good

[HelenaBlack80]

I do like this version, but the feel of it is different. I think Morrissey gives a lot of himself when he sings and you can really hear it when he sings Please, and i think that's why the original is so haunting, you can tell he really means what he's singing. However, i do like the rock sound that this version has.

[MysteryThalia]

This is so beautiful, I love the fact that all these old timers can't accept the fact that this is a brilliant cover. :') I am now awaiting the denial from the haters.

[ndrwdngh]

ewww



[05madame]

Noooooooo! what have you done Muse?!

[reydiyohed]

what the fuck is this? please, please, please, stop ruining such great songs muse!

[mrsiborg]

Probably the best cover I've heard of this.

[thatsrightisaidit909]

You know what? Matt Bellamy infuses his voice with misery like it's nobody's business. This cover's amazing BECAUSE the music sounds so disjointed.

[Briiiightside]

interesting.

[jeffreykins]

I can't decide whether this is the best cover ever or a collection of the worst sounds ever recorded... 

[losconocimientos]

I didn't know the smiths before this, so I thought: "let's listen to their version", but when I listened I thought: "Is this a joke?'' I definitely like this version better
