Exo-Politics - Muse (Original Version from 2005)

[Archeopterix2680]

Thanks for posting this song! I didn't know that a version of Exo Politics with alternate lyrics existed.

[NDesum]

I love how matt moves and do gestures with his mouth ♥

[LikeADeadStar95]

the prechorus is awesome!!

[KILLERITACHI666]

se escucha bien incluso mejor k la de estudio

[musedoom]

WOW...this version is even better than the studio version, so great

[Krushd74]

Love this version!!

[NDesum]

the 2 are amazing but i like so much the other exo politics

[muse4ever11]

cant belive 3 dislikes

[Giradox]

This version makes me like Exo-Politics more and more. Especially the opening of this one, with the bass playing, is awesomeness.

[TheExogenerate]

Muse should have a concert and have it be specifically "for Twilighters." and then play Micro Cuts so that those *Insert insult* eardrums will burst.

[diamondwriter1]

It's so weird that it's the same tune, so you expect the same lyrics,then BAM! Different lyrics. Both are awesome though. Is this on a B-side?

[Giradox]

@diamondwriter1 Nope.

[diamondwriter1]

@Giradox Shame.

[stosswalkinator]

Screw Twilight. The only reason Muse agreed to let them use their songs was for more money, fans, and public exposure. Purely to advance their career.

[CeKuatro21]

This is Music...

[Muse9alle]

About Twilight. Stephanie asked Matt some years ago if she could use their music if her books would be mad too films. So he just kept that promise. For New Moon they wanted Muse to make a Remix of one of their songs to the movie and Matt said that it was ok as long as it wasnt a lead track of the album like Uprising or Resistance.

[StripedShirtsSS]

I wish they'd released this version as the official studio version

[carbutty]

Could someone do me a massive favour and tap out the sliding at the start and Matts intro solo like thing that plays the vocal melody, thanks :)

[StripedShirtsSS]

@carbutty Use those auditory processing sensors of yours! (your ears!!)

[carbutty]

@StripedShirtsSS Glad I did, it took like 5 minuites :P

[Mudstep5956]

this version really show what this song is about. Much more scary and awesome than the album version. Reminds me of the new series of Dr. Who

[cpriicorn]

I prefer the BH&R lyrics.

[CrazySockKnocker]

The guitar in this song gives me an orgasm.

[CitizenFabi94]

this version has better lyrics than the ones in the BH&R version of Exopolitics



[StringQuartetFan]

SEND ME THIS MP3 PLEEEEEEEEASE. fuck i need more orgasms when im not near my computer

[cookielover734]

pee candle

[natearts]

Why are all the comments about NSC and twilight? This SONG is freakin metal!!!

[bobek3x]

I like this better than the album version :)

[15INVINCIBLE15]

This version is way better than the original. :)

[derp1985]

i like this one better....i think this version could fit on origin of symmetry ...right before citizen erased?

[MustLoveCookies]

oh how I wish I could have been there.

[AnyScar]

I really like this early version. Where can I find the pic 2:07?

[spikelive]

stop asking where to find....the truth to compensate your lies!!

Spettacolare...awesome !J like both version!!

thanks for sharing it ! ciao cheers!!

[paulohenriquesad]

GOD use Muse's shirts.

this version it's so fucking awesome then the black holes and revelations.

thanks for post.

[xxGreenDayMusexx]

lol whats with all this twilight junk.. it's a muse song.. ENJOY it, you obviously clicked on the video for a reason!

[hcvideoproductions]

This version was called burning bandits, right?

[FuturismBand]

I love this version, it's very mysterious

[TheCharlotte8D]

I love the picture at 2:06 haha :)

and I love Exo-Politics, but this is amazing! The chorus is REALLY good.

[TheMarizouille]

I prefer this version to Exo-Politics from BH&R !

[ernathefat]

I was kidding.

[Happyfacesmiles25]

at 3:29 what's matt doing with his guitar? and what is that? (awesome upload btw)

[girty1989]

@Happyfacesmiles25 hes using the kaos pad on it

[IIamLUKE]

@Happyfacesmiles25 He is using his built in Kaoss pad which is a built in effects panel, its quite cool, i was gonna get a guitar just like his till i saw the price :S

[quibto]

@Happyfacesmiles25 He's using the kaoss pad in his guitar. It's like a little touch pad where you program the effects you want, and the effects kick in once you touch it, and depending on how you touch it, it will give you a different sound. For example, in the Supermassive Black Hole solo.

[SuperElectric96]

@quibto It's not a kaoss pad. It's an XY Midi Pad hooked up to a Kaoss Pad. I know it seems nit-picky but there is a pretty big difference.

[mknappert]

i'm pretty sure i was at this. O_o

[MrMedalhunter]

this version is freakin awesome +.+

[ThatZombieAdam]

intro sounds like left4dead

[ernathefat]

ZETAS?

[sinistersaracen]

@ernathefat

as in Zeta Reticuli. just google it.

[DementedAbsolution]

This sounds more hypnotizing than the one in BH&R... I like it I like it

[5h401]

i like this version a bit more ... at least in the sense of lyrics ...

but actually the new one sounds a bit more melodic

[museminstrel]

"The truth to compensate your lies."

Very pwopa lyrics.

[Leeko23Arsenal]

@museminstrel "Look, Dom! I wote some pwoper lyrics!"

[thehaeg]

>.> I need a studio version or better a pro live recording version of this... :(

[SarahSaySomething]

I love how the dislike button lovers are in the major minority on every Muse video. They're just so good.

[openmicsoundguy]

@SarahSaySomething 227 likes to 2 dislikes. I get what you mean. :)

[godistv]

@SarahSaySomething In Britney Spears videos the same.

[dougeblum]

@SarahSaySomething Not every muse video... Hate This And I´ll Love You from Showbiz has more dislikes than thumb ups. But we all know why we do dislike it, right?

Muse told us to!!!!!

[Lysivar]

@dougeblum I like it D:

[Artidax]

BEST BASS LINE EVER!

[ulmboy556]

I miss the old muse that would just play songs for the hell of it. Now they're so precise on each show.

[ZAXXXXXZBAMNAXXVER]

i think the lyrics are better on this 1 but everything is better on the BHaR version

[fiendrell]

no one comments on the theme of the lyrics or the title of the song. 

[audveltadmuna]

zetas

[MustLoveCookies]

This  is INCREDIBLE.

[bettyroll82]

wow...in this version everything have more sense.....

[Rhowen4]

i prefer this to exo-politics

[werasd1234]

Timescale Keeper = Keep email secret.

It's an anagram, one of the many Bellamy used in his early years for his AOL, "qua". He's put it in a few places, often saying things such as "send naked pictures" or "for cheap sex, write here". Only a few have actually been lucky enough to catch him when he's online.

Feel free to google it if you don't believe it.

[Eskil262]

I like the lyrics in this old verison better than the ones in the new one.

Stil, exo-politics is a great song!

[rawrsaidthemouse]

Loving the pic at about 3:39 :D

He seems to glow as he plays, what I assume to be, the epic outro to Plug in Baby at Wembley Stadium :)

[MUSEXMKULTRAXMUSE]

its called burning bandits its the old name but i think its better exo-politics :D

[Edjan031]

3:19 - 3:25

where can I watch this?

[MuSeMaN1000]

@Edjan031 hullabaloo

[Edjan031]

@MuSeMaN1000 thanks, already watched it ;)

[AnyaSama]

@Edjan031 Search for "Matt Bellamy Kamikaze" here in Youtube LOL, that's the video in here

[AnyaSama]

@Edjan031 Search for "Matt Bellamy Kamikaze" here in Youtube LOL, that's the video in here

[pharodox]

even better than CD version :D

[sonbuken]

i agree with a lot of u, this earlier version sounds so much mor better than d album version. i like d fact dat d main chorus is left till last - creates sum sort of tension. :)

[ferchoo06]

y de donde se supone que sacaste esta cancion

[Shevcherto]

I hate exopolitices since ever, but this version is really nice!

better structure

better lyrics

muse hadn't to change it....

[justanotherlespaul]

i personly prefer this version but you know its opinion

[anthonymezzapelle]

very different and interesting lyrics, I personally like the exopolitics version, but this is cool to see what was going thru his mind back then

[mikahl757]

Debut of a MUSE song, live? Awesome.

[justanotherlespaul]

i cant tell is that a silver bass at 2:52?

[maverick707630]

I like the album version more. I think the vocals are better in it

[Nongamblerpokerfan]

...i dont like how sometimes it just sounds so bad...like "i'm waiting until" ...and it sounds like it's the ending of a sentence. anyways.

[samherf]

thnx 4 posting this it's kickassssssss!

[PolkaAnnaDot]

It's awesome as version from the album.

[nanerpants]

album version has better vocal flow

[Dennon88]

dude. the chorus is so much better in this than the BHAR version.

[anim8orjoey]

i quite like the whole "when the zetas fill the skies" thing. its pretty cool!

[spikelive]

Thanks for sharing it with us pal!

ciao cheers greetings from italy!

[gery41993]

Black Holes and Revelations' version's lyrics are better IMHO

[kam1st]

omg tjhe pics rocks !

[vinniechan]

I am feeling pissed off about my government, so I crank the speaker and play this song

[Antimatter245]

@vinniechan

just out of curiosity, to which government are you referring?

I agree though- if there's ever a huge revolution, Muse'll be the soundtrack. Uprising was already used at a tea party

[vinniechan]

Hong Kong S.A.R :p

[vinniechan]

and by the way, this version is so cool :P

[SouthCoastGooner]

anyone send this to me, or give me a download link?

[moniibellamy]

Love the lyrics. (:

[razrx33]

Wow they played in Buffalo in 2005 that's depressing. I live there and didn't even know they were there... DAMN!

Love this song

[soneli6873]

wow i really like the lyrics on this version

[citizenpaparazzo]

MUSE never cease to amaze me!

[HJDtv]

owell both work for me...

[lilfoos]

The Exo-politics guitar solo is still one of my favorite Muse solos simply because it fits and flows so damn well with the song. I love it.

[mikeybird3000]

oh, my. the lyrics are very different O.o

[johnson039039039]

this is awesome man!

the lyrics are good!

[MiscymLibera]

As many people have posted, these lyrics are much better than studie version. Why didn't they keep it like this? :(

[mak666mak]

I think because the latest words open the perpose of BHaR better then the first.

[derpoetischedichter]

Changing to talk about the actual topic here again I just wanted to say, that this song by muse which to see we all clicked the link to this video, is the one I am presently most addicted to :)

[maxcrowther]

aaaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhh! why wont my sound work?

[Denis543]

try turning on your volume?

[makmubotak]

check your audio control panel such as RTHDCPL, and turn on everything muted, also check the "Master Volume" on system tray

[ShanPala70]

this version is amazing xP

[Boarderforlife15]

this amazing...im really high right now....this is like blowing my mind. thank you vry much.

[warriorzin]

HAHAHAHA, I bet it would be a great car-high song lololol.

[Gonzaga78]

yeah getting high alone whatching youtube is really fun -.-

get a life

[Boarderforlife15]

actually i was waiting in line for tickets to a weezer show...but whatever.

[MrCuntPunch]

like there's something wrong with getting high and watchin youtube?????

[Gonzaga78]

yes..... only a person with no life would do it.......its like getting drunk alone.... makes no sence...... if u get high it's to party not to sit and watch youtube

[MrCuntPunch]

Only a person with no life would get on youtube and hate on people who prefer to get high by themselves, chill and watch music performances on youtube......

[Gonzaga78]

lol ok high geek

[ExtendedWeekend]

@Boarderforlife15 getting high and watching live Muse videos is just amazing. Do this-Acid&Hullabaloo DVD

[Boarderforlife15]

@ extendedweekend would shrooms suffice?

[ExtendedWeekend]

@Boarderforlife15 never tried shrooms sadly lol

[Boarderforlife15]

well if matt can write redonk songs like "execution commentary" on shrooms...then i think it'll suffice. haha

[ExtendedWeekend]

@Boarderforlife15 yea probly lol. damn now i wanna try shrooms and write music!

[bullrog100]

@Boarderforlife15 I couldn't agreed more! high on muse♥

[iamnotyourshadow]

Thanks for the translation man, those lyrics where interesting too (mostly the chorus)

[attershja]

These lyrics are made of win :D

[MsKelliemaree]

shit i love u tube at times . thanks for posting Dafid 2006 love your work .

by the lyrics it seems to me to be about the 2and coming .and by the time bhar came about the song got a whole new new theme (govt conspiracy theories)

[Roystonsmum101]

fury intro owns, and the lyrics are so much better :D

admitedly they make slightly more sence on the album version but this is more win :D

[Blaisegrimm]

they shouldve kept these lyrics

[C0DZ0R]

I don't think you realise what the lyrics mean, do you?

[deadstar665]

I do prefer these lyrics! definatly seem more MUSE in my eyes

[mojoman541]

The lyrics on this one are great, the new Killzone2 one isnt as good, wish they made a proper version of this :(

[EJRocky]

@mojoman541

Killzone 2? Exo Politics is in that game? O.o

Please elaborate :)

[mojoman541]

well i just read but im not sure its to do with the game no more, but the lyrics can compare with stuff from the game killzone, and mates of mine said they made it for the game..but not to be in the game

[EJRocky]

@mojoman541

Ah right. Cool, man.

I don't think it was written for the game. Not sure what Killzone is about, but Matt doesn't write album songs for films, video games, etc. It is about his suspicion of government alien cover-ups.

He did compose the end credits to the film The International, however... but nothing on an album was composed for a film. Only for the band :)

[longmann101]

he is doing a film now though..

Clash of the Titans

[lafunny210984]

not anymore, they backed out

[longmann101]

yeah its a shame

and now i hear they're writing more music for twilight

i like the idea of new music but only if it wasn't as commercial

[lucs1992]

they aren't "writing" music for twilight, twilight just used one of their songs. big deal.

[longmann101]

nope, they were writing new material that would be released on twilight

turns out that idea has been scappred by dom now though..

[Nongamblerpokerfan]

well ty god cuz i dont want them writing for twilight lol

[maverick707630]

@longmann101 You delusional nitwit! SMBH was made way before the first film!

[longmann101]

@maverick707630 what are you talking about?

i realise that? i'm talking about the film that hsan't been released yet!! dom said they were writing a piece that was going to be used on it. but it won't be used!!

[audveltadmuna]

@lucs1992 they wrote neutron star collision for twilight but you didn't know that 5 months ago

[TheHarmonixx]

@audveltadmuna Matt Bellamy wrote Neutron Star Collision after him and and his ex-fiancee split, then Stephanie Meyer asked if she could use it as it did not make it to The Resistance and Matt said "sure, why not"...Fact is, Matt isn't the biggest fan of Twilight, and i am sure most of use aren't either lol!

[451harri]

@TheHarmonixx Matt has read the first two books, and said that he really likes them. he has no problem with the franchise.

Not that this has anything to do with anything.

PM me for a source if you want.

[camstu2001]

@TheHarmonixx chris even admitted in a interview that sometimes you have to "sell you soul" to be famous in the US

[AnyScar]

@camstu2001 sometimes? ;)

[camstu2001]

@AnyScar it was for twilight... maybe matt sold his soul for kate and god promised him to give him a new glitterati but god lied and matt is still with kate...

[musethemusclemuseum]

@TheHarmonixx i agree with all the twilight is garbage stuff but im a nitpicker with my muse info...it actually was never slated for inclusion on resistance, matt said if at all it would've appeared on their sixth lp

[Sipper0]

@TheHarmonixx Even Chris said that when they gave the song to Twilight, he felt like he had sold his soul. He hates Twilight!

[MrJordanbailey95]

@TheHarmonixx exactly the only reason muse songs are used is because he promised her before the films were made...

[Joehand87]

@lucs1992 correct. im pretty sure bellamy said somewhere that neutron star was just a leftover that didnt make it onto Resistance. i mean if ppl offered me a boatload of cash to use one of my un-preferred songs, i'd definitely be game, lol.

[TheSeanWilson]

@lucs1992 The voice of reason.

[451harri]

@lucs1992 Looks like you had to eat your words! twice! ahahaha

[szymonrocks]

@lucs1992 did you not watch thde music video???of course they wrote that song for twilight.unfortunatly the twilihgt saga made them more famous in the USA. i hate how so many people can not tell what reall music is 

[iHaTeNoooBz]

@szymonrocks that song had such universal meaning you could probably put a slideshow of babys icking puppies and it still wouldve gone with the song matt has already said stephanie asked for the song and if it wasnt for her he wouldve never released the song

[Sebblinator]

the best version i've ever heard, better than any othe live version or the album one - much more power and just exoterrestrial (:

[francisco11115]

love the lyrics in this version so much better.

[EJRocky]

The intro is so much better than the album version... it just sounds so much smoother and funkier. Probably due to the bass instead of guitar.

When I get a band, we're going to do a Muse tribute gig, and I'm going to write an Exo Politics and Timescale Keeper mashup xD

EJRocky, im playing in a band as guitarist and its really fun to just mix different muse songs with each other so you know, today when we jammed (this doesnt have anything to do with muse) we were gonna do the most fucked up song ever, so i decided to first play whe
