Muse - Futurism (Rare B-Side)

[1bighiccup1]

Why is this brilliance not on the UK album ;_;

[VFDbranch13]

a) Radiohead and Muse don't rip each other off, get over it

b) This song fucking was on Origin, okay.

c) THIS SONG FUCKING ROCKS <3

[Museile]

I need a lovewithallmyheartandsoul button for this song.

[Clairalli]

Can someone explain me why this song is too difficult to be played??^^ Help please^^

[Sj1h]

@Clairalli Just listen to the song live and you'll hear why. Its mostly Matt's vocals especially the "Feel it, hear it, right apathy you are, see it, be it, you'll see" part.

[jibblychupos]

Radiohead ripped this song off with their song Palo Alto and fooled people into thinking it was their idea. Palo Alto shamelessly steals the lyrical themes from Futurism with the whole future world scenario. For example Palo Alto uses these lines 'In a city of the future It is difficult to find a space'' basically taking the ''Grounded Boxed in'' line from Futurism. Palo Alto even steals Matt Bellamys patented guitar sound.

=21TmsT1qsPo <<<listen to Palo Alto and hear for yourself

[JimJamBimBam1]

This is on the iTunes and Japanese version of Origin of Symmetry, as well as the Dead Star/In Your World single.

[BTWKillTheBees]

you can get this on OoS Japan version, so it's not rare

[FriendlyyMushrooom]

Without this song, we never would have got Hysteria D:

[VFDbranch13]

This isn't a freaking "rare b-side", it's one of the songs off Origin of Symmetry. You can get it on iTunes.

[museicfan756]

@VFDbranch13 It's not on all the versions of Origin though. I have the CD and it's not on mine. That means it is considered a b-sides because it's not really known as well as the other songs

[VFDbranch13]

@museicfan756 Oh really? That sucks. I got it off iTunes and it had it... sucks when the physical CD's don't have everything. Thanks for filling me in, I don't mean to sound like a snobby bitch or whatever ;)

[VFDbranch13]

@museicfan756 Oh really? That sucks. I got it off iTunes and it had it... sucks when the physical CD's don't have everything. Thanks for filling me in, I don't mean to sound like a snobby bitch or whatever ;)

[hilly2010]

this was also released on the inyour world/dead star double single in the uk, which i happened to purchase maaaany years ago. awesome songs all three and very underrated.

[BeatOfTheGuardians]

I don't care.. Old Muse and New Muse... I Love the both.

[BilisNegra]

Sound quality is a bit crappy in this particular vid, it's worth listening to this with cd (or decent mp3) quality, believe me.

[JohnnyCagePro]

beautiful, i miss the old muse so much.

[edgarruizrasengan]

this song are amazing!!

[MaraPapillon]

B-Side? What are talking about? It's on the OoS Cd...

[seoj39]

@MaraPapillon You're wrong.

[MaraPapillon]

@seoj39 Nop. At least it's on MY cd. Bought in France...

[AltRockIsMyLife]

@MaraPapillon It's a bonus track on OOS

[TheARJ15]

if you go on the muse website, muse.mu, you can find any of their b sides

[SirenOfDecay]

I LOVE their b-sides. and this one is awesome!

[gabriel22792]

Like some others have previously said, this is actually the last track on Origin of Symmetry, at least it is on the iTunes store.

[Luckyshoo]

@gabriel22792 japanese version i think

[musette22xx]

i know i sound dumb, but what are B-sides anyone?

[FretsonFireMuse]

@musette22xx Basically it means an "extra" song that's not on a main album. My guess it comes from when you buy a single in the form of a vinyl or tape. The song is "Side A" and your extra song is "Side B"

[musette22xx]

@FretsonFireMuse thanks :)

[nwiley619]

@musette22xx I think that the original songs on the actuall album are called A-sides hence Album starts with an A. And B sides I don't know exactly what they are

[IWearMyCapBackwards]

the begging is such a copy of the beginng of too many puppies by primus

[catman529outdoors]

well it's not rare anymore, I got it when I bought OoS on itunes... btw it's frickin awesome just like 100% of their other songs

[ermelynda93]

futurism isn't a b-sides. I have it in my CD!!

[furonet138]

This song is the highest Matt has ever gone full voice, B flat 4. He also reaches this note in Feeling Good, Hyper Chondriac Music, and United States of Eurasia. His highest note with falsetto is a B#5 at the end of Showbiz. Thank you, Musewiki!

[bloosy]

@furonet138 G# surely?

[furonet138]

@bloosy

Oh yeah it is G#. Silly me :)

[diln5]

@furonet138 The note at the end of Showbiz is a G#5, or an A5 in certain live performances.

[CitizenErasedRulez]

Yeah this is actually a Japanese Bonus Track to OOS. This and Feeling Good should've been switched. Just to awesome to 'just' give to the Japanese and it fits the album amazingly. Unlike Feeling Good.

[mojers111]

THIS ISNT A B-SIDE.

[Aviendhaha]

hella idiot who disliked it. also, i think this song Matt hits higher than he does in microcuts.

[MuseDrumma117]

@Aviendhaha the highest matt ever went was in hyper music

that's not based on opinion its been tested

[saylorsoul]

this is a b-side?? but i bought the album and it had it on it....this is one of my favoritess

[tabascotime]

It's weird that I've got this song on the Origin Of Symmetry album...

The OFFICIAL Album that I bought...

WTF?

[htfussman32]

@tabascotime Are you from Japan?

[tabascotime]

@htfussman32 No, actually, which is very strange....

[FrankSkellington]

I love the picture at 2:48.

[Kashelle357]

The bassline + Matt's amazing voice + the overall awesomeness= MUSEGASM :-)

[SaintUdnitz]

a shame this isnt on hullabaloo...I have to buy the single with dead star on it...

[franconbean]

@SaintUdnitz Whats wrong with Dead Star? D:

[SaintUdnitz]

@franconbean

nothing...I love dead star! I will just have to buy the single in order to have futurism as well. If it was on hullabaloo I wouldnt. you see?

[HoodedSword]

This song is a work of genius. Amazing chord progression in the chorus.

[colashanacogh]

isnt that hard to play live.. hysteria has a harder bass line, the guitar is easy aswell

[IIHaZe]

@colashanacogh and microcuts has the ridiculous falsettos in them, not hard to play live tbf.

[colashanacogh]

@IIHaZe it really isnt that hard to play, when your matt falsetto is easy i'd imagine the hardest thing for matt to play is space dementia cause he has to sing while playing the main riff

[tigerdurden91]

the best muse's b-side!!

[12jo0]

you can get this on itunes

[felixundxilef]

this is the bonus track for japan you can buy those japanese albums but theyre expensive...

[faxcopierprinter]

nice song :) but it isn't rare in the slightest :P it was on the dead star/in your world single.

[xRawrCookie]

Fuck, YEAH it WAS.

Damn, Fury & Futurism should of been on Absolution. but that's kinda adding a little bit iceing to the cake, eh?

[MarcoGHS]

@xRawrCookie best damn cake in the world

[BlueVane]

@xRawrCookie Fury was on the Japanese Absolution as a bonus track, so it technically was. Although I know what you mean, and Futurism is an amazing song too.

[xRawrCookie]

@BlueVane Originally it was a B-Side.

But usually when a song is a "bonus" put on an album,

It wasn't supposed to be on the album.

And every album Muse has released in Japan has bonus songs!

It's no fair! What about us in the U.k.

We're in the same neighbourhood! (not really,)

But damn..

[MechTechMaster15]

@xRawrCookie I FUCKING LOVE THIS AND FURY!!!..... but fury IS on absolution.. its the bonus track you only get on certain copys :D

[m1ggyzzz]

so this was supposed to be on absolutin? along with fury?

[SubconsciousAlive]

No, read the description more carefully.

[TheArafel]

This is a bonus track on OoS

[emexlondaxe78]

why is this hard to play live?

[DarkAngel63725267]

I have the same question...

[talatsmum]

cmonnn how is this rare :P i have the cd man

still awesome as

one of my favourite muse songs :D

[Biscuitto]

Which CD? I just downloaded it off of Napster to go for my Walkman.

[talatsmum]

got it off ebay i think it was a b side to the deadstar- in your world cd.. *checks*

yep.

[MattMuse4EvaIsFit]

Matt and Dommeh r sooo fit :P

[stephanielblaney]

Where is the love for Chris?!??!

And, to the guy below:

Just, srsly, I can see why they held it back. It is hard live, the bassline and vocals, wow. The chorus requires a really strong voice which Matt did not have at the time, the live version I have is laughably bad in parts. Has anyone heard the live version of this?

I'll upload it for you ;)

[talatsmum]

the love for chris is here ^^

<3 him

[stephanielblaney]

This and Hysteria <3

And it is uploaded. Matt couldn't reach the vocal strengths live.

[talatsmum]

so gonna watch that..

[kiwibeerpong]

this is much easier then most of the songs they play live which are usually very technicall so i doubt this was held back because it was difficult to play live

[whatth3d0053]

kick ASS where do u get this song!!!>???

[softbatch1]

This is not Futurism! and futurism isnt even a b side its the extra track on the japanese import.

[fan62]

actually THIS IS "futurism"...

[softbatch1]

my bad! I was thinking of Spiral Static.

[detigers17]

Failure.

[softbatch1]

you're mean. Yeah I fuct up, so? I already said my bad! Man.

[dom0s]

detigers17 u've got anger management problems...buh ur funny so i thumbed u up

[detigers17]

Thanks, and I am not anger, but that was just a complete failure...anyone that thumbed my ass knew I was right so eat me...and I thumbed you, too.

[guitarista1988]

this would be too hard for them?

[kh2freek]

It sounds pretty weak without keyboards, and they didn't have a keyboardist back when they wrote it. Not to mention those vocals are at the top of his chest-voice range.

[ScarredNight]

It'd be a damn shame if Matt was indeed a "Silent God". Imagine just how much poorer the world of music would have been without him.

[DATdarkness]

lol. bsides are just songs they recorded but didnt use, or changed to a different song

[Cyndonia]

what do you meab B-side

[NowShepherd]

Old turntable records had an "a side" which had the original album and when flipped the b sides would play which were considered extra songs.

[Cyndonia]

o so hypthedicly speaking if i flipped over a cd its would play these songs

[starrynight6186218]

no cos that would be stupid. theres only micro-pits holding sould data on one side of a CD, thats what makes it shiny. the other side is just some kind of pretty design, purely for looks

[Cyndonia]

i said hypothedicly not literlly lol i just ment like if it was a record

[if6was10]

its "hypothetically"

[KayMan111]

hypothetically u would b a retard

[Cyndonia]

fuck urself

[aleeravanhelsing]

this song is amazing

[DarkBlysse]

That bassline is fucking sweet.

[mxsterchief]

(L) amazing song! =D

[musicsquid]

it doesnt seem that difficult to play live... Muse could pull it off easily!

[mattgiller1]

ill have some

[SecretCitizen]

hey thanks for putting up all these b-sides. Always love to hear more muse! where do you find these by the way?

[Shanaar7]

Most of the B-Sides either come from the Hullabaloo soundtrack or as an extra song on the Single CD's

[SecretCitizen]

Awesome! thanks so much. just got the album actually- good stuff throughout

[KingFamiliar]

hey i love this song

[Rovelius39X7]

@SecretCitizen

itunes. check some of the singles. they also have there albums updated to there Japanese B-Sides now, so you can pretty much get all of them now.

[inmepete]

sounds quite easy to play.. but an immense tune all the same, as expected by muse! :)

[featuring989]

guitar and drums are easy but its very very difficult to consistently play tht bassline, id expect chris cud but yeah

[mrcrapstick99]

i love how matt picks his guitar and gives us the finger at the same time lol. sneaky!

[silverstorm05]

TWICE!!! 2:25 and 3:15 xD Hahaha that's awesome...

[Mahinalau]

Cheers !!

[PlugInBaby08]

geniuses + guitar + amazing vocals + bass + piano = MUSE

[frenchfanofmuse]

+ drums ^^

[0ct0parr0t]

@PlugInBaby08 and drums lol :P

[FunnyHaloVids]

@PlugInBaby08 Hey what about the drums :)

[ROOS9006]

@PlugInBaby08 you forget the drums

[pok282]

@PlugInBaby08 Poor Dom with his drums. You forgot all about him.

[DarkHysteria]

i love the bass intro

[mrbrightside919]

how did u get this song and can u send it to me plz

[DJBJ2389]

I'm pretty sure this isn't rare. I've had this song for over a year. Found it on limewire back then. If I remember correctly, it was a Japan-only release. I could be wrong. Prolly not though. Def not a rare song. Maybe you didn't look hard enough.

[eternityscharm]

I love this song. I just hope it gets released cuz it's one of my favorite songs :]]

im pretty sure muse can play it live now, they're music geniuses!!!

matt dom and chris will succeed!

its so AWESOME!!!

[13happyendings]

hey how did u get this? can u send it to me?

[jackblume]

wow i never knew this existed. it's great!

[Sonafab]

Seriously i luved this song from the first time i heard it. Yeap, i agree its too hard to play in lives, but i think Muse are now able to play it as they have got better since that time. Hope release it xD
