Hadn't listened to this song in like a year and then the riff suddenly popped into my head when i was lying awake in bed so I youtubed it and my mind was blown
Everytime I think Muse has sold out with their recent stuff, I go back and listen to their old albums - Origins, Absolution, Showbiz - and their B-sides. Faith in the band = restored. MAKE MORE STUFF LIKE THIS PLZ.
@spintheuscita Hendrix is over rated but was a 'good' player for his time. Doesn't stand on a leg near Satriani and Vai.. food chain. I'm sure Hendrix would like this song but then who wouldn't? It's the same with all dead players, people say Cliff Burton is the best bassist who ever lived.. same with Kurt C, how he makes the top 20 best guitar players list I'll never know. Now don't get me wrong Hendrix was amazing for his time but he's no where near the best who ever lived.
If you're going on sleeve notes, they've often been wrong in the past because it's not actually muse who writes the sleeve notes. Several editions have been corrected.
*cough* It's 'Rape and pillage -PROVES-, to win the public vote", not prudence.
Also "And DOWNTIME comes again...." , not Delta.
And yes, imo one of the best songs muse has ever produced.A bit more variation, Bring the solo out a little, and add a bit more snarl in the bass, and it would be perfect.
The whole world should experience this guitar riff theres so many songs that if they were released it would show up the lack of talent in pop and blow real listeners minds.
What way around? In any way you should not rate too fast.
Since I suppose you mean, that Undisclosed Desires is 'better', I'd recommend to listen to each Album from Muse from the latest to the first slowly. You'd then understand this one here a n d never want to hear anything else but Muse :) Not too much at least ;)
Just like Fury and Eternally Missed, this song should have been on a studio album. Fury, in my opinion is there 4th best song after Thoughts of a Dying Atheist, Plug In Baby, and Butterflies and Hurricanes. But of course my favorite Muse songs changes weekly, last week my favorite was Hate This and I'll Love You :P
I agree but I would rather they put out HAARP 2. My idea is to have it be a live anthology, do four shows on four nights, each night coving an album and its related b-sides, amounting to every song they have ever recored, except done live which all Muse fans know is way way waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better!!!
@Glamagal12 Well they have got the Hullaballoo Soundtrack, but you're right. ALL the awesome B-sides should be put together in a sort of "Best of" CD, that'd be amazing. :D
Yes, I actually use The Groove to "welcome" people into Muse if they haven't heared them before. It's an awesome song, and not to "odd". Yeh, Hullabaloo is nice, but there's like 10x more B-sides out there=)
oh my god i love these pics! dominics yellow pants, matt playing poker by himself, and most of all...THE MIRROR GUITAR!!! does anyone know what kind it is??
ok so why arent these guys bigger than they are here in the states this song could have been a huge hit on the alternative rock charts i love muse one of my fav bands like radiohead & coldplay.
this really is one of my favourite muse songs ever and i am a HUGE fan the solo's great the vocals are great the drums and great and the riff is legendary...plus i just learnt this riff n bass its great fun a little bit of a challenge for new bassist but good to learn
This song started out pretty awesome for me, and since I found it two days ago I've found it's been playing in my head without me realizing it. With each listening, it gets better and better... there's just something about it that I can't figure out, but it's more addictive than any drug could ever be to me.
I'm pretty damn sure he says "Delta" not "downtown". It clearly sounds like Delta (Though I could see how someone would assume it's "downtown"). But also, the line right after that (..her masks are shifting...) is in direct reference to Delta, so it can't be "downtown", it just wouldn't make any sense.
Yeah the "rape pillage" part is confusing, he doesn't sound like he's saying "Prudence", but it doesn't really make sense using "proves". Also every other lyric sheet I've seen says "Prudence".
So here it is again Rape and pillage proves To win the public vote Someone tell me who will take the prize And who takes the fall So confused When you're lost in the groove So confused When you're lost in the groove And down-town comes again And her masks are shifting like a chameleon Someone tell me why she breaks my fall And then breaks my heart
Muse is my favourite band ever. But I think its pretty pointless comparing Matthew Belameys Guitar skills with Hendrix, because they are different and there will be some people who will prefer Matts and some Jimi, however, it is definite that both are amazing musicians, and definitely world class. Hopefully one day Muse will really break into America and become absolutely world famous, until then they are still the best band in Britain.
Oh boy Brain, don't be surprised if you get thumbed down 5 times >.>. Coldplay's way too soft and repetitive really, but their songs have nice melodies.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Never even said once that Coldplay are better, I said they are bigger. Big-ger. b.i.g.g.e.r, hot damn just read for ONE second. It's not an opinion it's just a fact.
Oh christ. I pulled a wrong string there didn't I! Plus, Muse sold out 2 nights at Wembley? I'd say, and this is my opinion so don't have a go at me again, that Muse are b.i.g.g.e.r than Coldplay! Just my opinion though!
Muse may have less albums sold, but what about all the people who download illegaly, there could possibly be more muse fans that do that, maybe it is that Muse is smaller, but i will always say they are a bigger band untill Coldplay sell out three nights at Wembley. =)
Love this song, and its fun to play on guitar too :D
muse may not be as bigg as coldplay and that crap in record sales but they are the world's foruners in live shows i mean can u honestly think of any live band better than them this will make them one of the legendary, defining bands of the future i think they will be what led zeppelin is to us now in 20 or 30 years
plus there style ofprog rock will most definently influence hundreds of new bands for the future for this reason they are one of the world biggest and best bands in the music scene
yeah i agree and the thing with muse is, like this song im sure coz i had never heard it until the other day, all of their songs are good really, and the instrumentals are quality, matt is a great guitarist full of ideas
Well, considering the US' massive audience (We're a nation of 300 million), a lot of people consider the US as the determinant for true stardom (I personally don't, but I see the point). Muse is well-known and respected around the world to just about the same extent as Coldplay (maybe even a little more), but because they're not as popular as Coldplay is in America, Muse's popularity is a little tarnished. Muse is def. in the top 3 of the biggest international rock bands today though.
what chart places hae some of there songs gotten in america... all i have heard is that they are quite big in the new york area. i agree with you saying they are in the top 3 world wide. like japan austrailia eastern europe and of corse britain and france and they really do deserve it and as i said they will be one of those bands the world will remember for decades.
It's sad, they're highest charting, and therefore most popular, song in America was "Starlight". I liked Starlight sincerely before it was the second single here, but I hate that the song that is least representative of their talent is the one that is the most popular here.
no. 10 isnt bad at atall... shame origin of symetry didnt do that well isnt it...plug in baby, space dementia and the legendary Hypermusic...they certainly deserved to get a good chart placing. i've seen the hysteria video for america that was really cool
Yeah OoS had some release issues here in America. The record label that works with them for the US had some disputes with Muse's original label and so the album wasn't released until like '05 or '06 here in the states.
Of corse they will damnit (lol) well i will force my kids to do so, and they will force there kids and so forth the legend of muse will live on for ever!!!!.
MUSE broke America very early in their career due to being signed to an American record label first. Most of their tour dates cover America--each concert is sellout. They don't top the charts but MUSE don't do that much in the UK either. Besides that, no band has to break America to become world famous! You know Robbie Williams is almost unknown in the US but is internationally famous everywhere else. For movies sure, go for America... but for music? Not so much...
Ok good point. What you have said is very true, and yea Muse have never really made the charts even in England, but you know what I mean, if you break America it becomes a lot better for a band to keep succeeding.
I find artists become lazy when they go to America. The lifestyle screws them up I think. Once you are loved by the American public it can become easy to just churn out the same crap they want because American music tastes are quite rigid. That's where the phrase "break America" comes from in the first place--due to the fact they are very picky about their music. Making it big in Europe is probably first priority for bands. Especially the UK... London is to music what Hollywood is to movies.
I don't think it is the life-style but rather resources become much more available, say advertisement, and the band does not feel they have to work as hard to achieve the same recognition. By "breaking America" it just means getting notice by corporations that then will pay to use song, etc. and indirectly advertise for the band.
well muse is like alot of bands really (but muse is my fave) but theres bound to be bands that muse sound like or "copied" which is aload of bull shit (scuse my french lol)
they sound like radiohead , jimi hendrix... but theres always gonna be bands that sound like other bands...just pointing out ....

Muse total studio albums sold worldwide (4 Releases); 11,9 Million
Coldplay haven't played a concert that wasn't sold out in 3 years, and neither have Muse, with Coldplay playing at bigger capacity venues on average.
You just can't compare them popularity-wise, but I'm happy to be in the smaller audience that Muse appeals to.

Muse may have less albums sold, but what about all the people who download illegaly, there could possibly be more muse fans that do that, maybe it is that Muse is smaller, but i will always say they are a bigger band untill Coldplay sell out three nights at Wembley. =)
Love this song, and its fun to play on guitar too :D

Who cares if Coldplay are more popular, so were The Spice Girls, and they were still shit. Sometimes people just have bad taste ;).

muse may not be as bigg as coldplay and that crap in record sales but they are the world's foruners in live shows i mean can u honestly think of any live band better than them this will make them one of the legendary, defining bands of the future i think they will be what led zeppelin is to us now in 20 or 30 years
plus there style ofprog rock will most definently influence hundreds of new bands for the future for this reason they are one of the world biggest and best bands in the music scene

Well, considering the US' massive audience (We're a nation of 300 million), a lot of people consider the US as the determinant for true stardom (I personally don't, but I see the point). Muse is well-known and respected around the world to just about the same extent as Coldplay (maybe even a little more), but because they're not as popular as Coldplay is in America, Muse's popularity is a little tarnished. Muse is def. in the top 3 of the biggest international rock bands today though.

what chart places hae some of there songs gotten in america... all i have heard is that they are quite big in the new york area. i agree with you saying they are in the top 3 world wide. like japan austrailia eastern europe and of corse britain and france and they really do deserve it and as i said they will be one of those bands the world will remember for decades.

It's sad, they're highest charting, and therefore most popular, song in America was "Starlight". I liked Starlight sincerely before it was the second single here, but I hate that the song that is least representative of their talent is the one that is the most popular here.

Fortunately though Knights of Cydonia, Hysteria did pretty well, as well as Supermassive Black Hole
Outside those 3 though, they haven't done too well here, and those 4 songs are probably the most popular Muse songs in America.
BH&R debuted at number 10 also, so it's a small but capable fanbase. Nothing compared to what Coldplay has done here though.

no. 10 isnt bad at atall... shame origin of symetry didnt do that well isnt it...plug in baby, space dementia and the legendary Hypermusic...they certainly deserved to get a good chart placing. i've seen the hysteria video for america that was really cool
TheKnightofCydonia1 3 years ago 3
Yeah OoS had some release issues here in America. The record label that works with them for the US had some disputes with Muse's original label and so the album wasn't released until like '05 or '06 here in the states.

MUSE broke America very early in their career due to being signed to an American record label first. Most of their tour dates cover America--each concert is sellout. They don't top the charts but MUSE don't do that much in the UK either. Besides that, no band has to break America to become world famous! You know Robbie Williams is almost unknown in the US but is internationally famous everywhere else. For movies sure, go for America... but for music? Not so much...

Ok good point. What you have said is very true, and yea Muse have never really made the charts even in England, but you know what I mean, if you break America it becomes a lot better for a band to keep succeeding.

I find artists become lazy when they go to America. The lifestyle screws them up I think. Once you are loved by the American public it can become easy to just churn out the same crap they want because American music tastes are quite rigid. That's where the phrase "break America" comes from in the first place--due to the fact they are very picky about their music. Making it big in Europe is probably first priority for bands. Especially the UK... London is to music what Hollywood is to movies.

I guess its like Joss Stone. I didnt mind her until she became a c**t after she "broke America"
LoveableJoe 3 years ago
I don't think it is the life-style but rather resources become much more available, say advertisement, and the band does not feel they have to work as hard to achieve the same recognition. By "breaking America" it just means getting notice by corporations that then will pay to use song, etc. and indirectly advertise for the band.
