Muse - Knights of Cydonia - RBN 2.0 Audition

[Nepherupito]

Undercharted drums much?

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@Nepherupito Yes, very much so.

[nypad5]

Thissss would be so epic for rockband. Its their most requested band i dont see how this song is not on the game yet...not a huge muse fan but i love this song.

[heroepato]

They could make a real trumpet to play the trumpet parts :D

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@heroepato Like a trumpet peripheral?

"Okay, your turn!"

[EasyExpertVillage]

I just noticed this. how do you tell what HOPOs are and what HOPOs aren't on pro guitar.

[Raiden576]

thanks man this is really great stuff !!!!

[SiliconSynthony]

Do you have actual master stems for this, or did you chop up the GH3 stems and increase the backing stem's volume? o.o

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@SiliconSynthony They're GH3 stems.

[graduator08]

Awesome chart down below me. =p

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@graduator08 Man, that's pretty great! If you had charted the same version of the song as mine, then I could have combined them and put up a new video (giving you co-credit, of course!)

[graduator08]

@nightshadezerodotcom Good to hear but it's not my chart. You could contact him if you wanted, I'd love to be able to play it! ;)

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@graduator08 I should really read the user names...

[graduator08]

watch?v=ImTS0KWQ984&feature=re­lated There you go.

[graduator08]

Sucks that this song was not on GH:SH, let's hope that Harmonix makes a smart move and puts it into Rock Band.

[julianyein]

Epic Orgasm

[Brandon13464]

That was Freakin sweet On Guitar, Its Impossible

[sangheili333]

this looks amazingly fun on pro keys

[Matheusasm]

The funny thing is the keyboard part is done with an arppegiator in real life, and if you put the keys as a sustain, it could be more realistic, although it would sacrifice difficulty

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@Matheusasm Yeah, there are a couple of reasons I chose to do that. First, It looks more interesting, and second, I doubt many people here know and understand the concept of an arpeggiator.

[Tviruskillu]

@Matheusasm Arppegiators are fun lol

[Tviruskillu]

@Matheusasm arpeggiator I mean lol

[bartmancia13]

If you listen closely, you can tell the drums are supposed to be a lot harder, what with the crap load of ghost notes and the extra bass pedals.

[SithLord956]

i'd shit my own dick 5 times if this ever comes to rock band

[nicelikeiceguy]

why can't i find this song on rb3??????

[TrialsHDCustoms]

@nicelikeiceguy Because its a custom.....

[KarmaWaffle]

When will this be available!?!

[EmersonMike]

most rediculously hard synth ever haha epic!! except drums :(

[hcvideoproductions]

Everything is nice, but the drums could seriously use some work. Your missin a lot

[coasterkrazy90]

Sigh. If only... Muse Rock Band might actually make me play the game again.

[hottgamerman]

i like how you used the strum lanes. i wish more song had those

[digirosariofan]

so is this even actually on rock band? I would get it if it is.

[jakeandaustin]

Can i have this chart please?

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@jakeandaustin No. Sorry.

[gunmaster4]

Could you make a tutorial on how to chart like that?

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@gunmaster4 No, but there's great documentation on creators.rockband.com

[gunmaster4]

@nightshadezerodotcom Okay, all i know is they use reaper I think, but other then that i have no idea, I just want a diff program to chart Frets on fire, keep lookin i gues, {Nice chart BTRW}

[mrbutterton]

ok, really god charts all 'round, except for drums, you should stay away from charting those lol

[FalconFlurry]

I still find it amusing how there are 9 instruments in this song (drums, bass, guitar, synth, trumpet, vocals, backup vocals, cowboys, aliens with lazers) and there are only (really) three members of MUSE! I would be glad to do the drums 4u, I just need to know where I can access the program and how to use it.

[JimiPain]

At certain parts the drums are really wrong

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@JimiPain Yep! Sorry I suck at charting drums! :P

[JimiPain]

@nightshadezerodotcom But you made the other instruments awesome :D

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@JimiPain Thanks!

[brandon26597]

Como se hacen esos vídeos de "audición"?

[Granaino666]

Fucking epic!

[templeb3]

sick harmonies



[nightshadezerodotcom]

@templeb3 Thanks. I'm quite proud of them. :-)

[moshamora95]

2 people failed the opening guitar solo :P

[jellyalv]

I thought the drums would be much harder...

[FoxForever90]

I thought that at 3:20 that a bass guitar, not keys...

[CCDaDon15]

@FoxForever90 It's the bass end of a synth keyboard...

[OpinionatedBlog]

Great work, sir!

I wish that Warner Music would just be nice and let us have more Muse songs in Rock Band! Hysteria alone isn't enough!

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@OpinionatedBlog Thanks! And tell me about it. This is why I do this, for that little shimmer of hope. I just saw them at Lollapalooza, so I'm feeling inspired to do something big.

[solidusnake92]

i am pretty sure you overcharted the fast strumming parts. gh3 was right

[001thefish]

Dude, let me chart your drums

[001thefish]

Dude, can I re-chart your drums

[peterthemighty]

from about 2:55 - shouldn't there be more hits for the toms on the drums?

[LightningXCE]

Did you ever have anyone rechart your drums?

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@LightningXCE Not yet. I talked to one person a while back and sent him the assets, but he never got back to me. That jerk....

[HoBroAndTheBlackMan]

@nightshadezerodotcom I'll rechart drums.

[SFenton24]

@nightshadezerodotcom I have a completed drum chart, check out Rock Band ScoreHero, Software section. I also did animations and the rest of the song... but hands down, your keys trump mine.

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@SFenton24 Nice! I downloaded the extension-less file and spent all of 5 minutes trying to figure out what to do with it before giving up, but I'll take your word for it! :P

[SFenton24]

@nightshadezerodotcom Ahhhhhhhhh >.> Downlod Le Fluffie, open it in that, and extract the MID. Basically, if you copy that file to your hard drive, you can play the song in Rock Band 3 without mods. (Google that for more info). Also, I couldn't tell if that was sarcastic or not, but I'm glad that you at least went to look. :P

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@SFenton24 I wasn't being sarcastic at all, actually. I've looked into it, and it seems really complicated and risky...

[SFenton24]

@nightshadezerodotcom Okay :3 Well, you can still just extract the MIDI from it if you like. I don't have it on hand anymore. :/

[TheSystematicDream]

good job, good song, but oh no... GUITAR STRUM LANES! :(

[Freddytheknight]

The one dislike is the one night of Cydonia who got kicked out

[UnderscoreSchlagwerk]

Pause it at 5:08 where it starts to shift - the keys have hovering notes on the left side.

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@UnderscoreSchlagwerk Yeah, I noticed that too, but there was nothing I could do about it. The notes were bound to float on either side.

[pezboy715]

Those. Drums. Are. So. Poorly. Charted.

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@pezboy715 Yeah, drums are my weak point.

[sangheili333]

looks really fun on pro keys

[jackshiels]

WHY NOT HARMONIX, WHY NOT? This only makes me feel worse about there being ONE MUSE SONG!

Great chart :(

Sniff.

[welshy18cs]

drums are undercharted a bit but other than that, amazing :D

[drfreshey]

You screwed up the drum chart, but the rest were all spot-on.

[usernamessuck58]

Thanks a lot for this. I've been wondering how to play the keys for this song since I heard it in Guitar Hero III.

[SFenton24]

Do you need any more help with this? VENUE, keys reductions, standard keys, etc.? I'd love to help somehow.

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@sharkwrestler99 Not really, but tell me what song you had in mind and I'll maybe consider it. Actually, I cant really work on any songs right now since the sound card on my laptop burnt out...

[IMaximusDMI]

If only it were true.

[baldur615]

The drums feel off, but still a great chart.

[Tremuto]

Aww, no intro?

[SpazticPuppy]

Starting at about 2:44, the drums are just a little undercharted (maybe one hit here and there), but otherwise it looks perfect. Great job, keep it up!

[fullmetalgeass]

What version of the song is this? The vocals sound a bit different, especially around the beginning, and around the end, I don't remember that keyboard part being there.

[krisdaschwab912]

GREAT chart for the most part, but the drums are grossly undercharted. Great work though. I wish I could do this during a snow storm.

[PyroHollow]

Quite possibly the most amazing chart for any Muse song that I've ever seen.

I hate how you can play it whenever you want lol, but really, awesome work!

[TubaDude49]

You sir, are an awesome charter. We would love to have you aboard the official RBN community. Ever think about contacting Muse's management and turning this into an official track?

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@TubaDude49 As much as I'd like to, I don't think there's any plausible way for me to contact Muse or their management without my message getting lost in a sea of e-mails. Therefore, If Muse ever makes it into Rock Band, it will be through official channels. Also, if i did, I'd need to show them better work. I currently have someone else re-charting the drums, and I'm cleaning up the rest!

[SFenton24]

Oh, and by the way, I actually chart for RBN (I chart at That Authoring Group) so it's just some added insurance that, y'know, I can actually chart. :)

[SFenton24]

Just because I would love to play this on any other instrument, I'll gladly take drums for this, and I'll animate them too, and give PRO support, yada yada. :P Did you use the Guitar Hero III master tracks for this?

[BirriaBoy64]

we just need uprising and resistence..... NOW I WILL B HAPPY!!!

[MrLeviRat]

dude..... you should seriously send this to muse and talk about rock band network and pro features..... who knows? maybe they will see the glory that is RB3 and jump the (sunken) ship

[Steebeh]

MORE MUSE.

I wish I can like this video over, and over and over to the point where my fingers bleed. That's how awesome this is. =]

[LightningXCE]

Seconding the RBA link. I'd be glad to try charting the drums too.

[cpriicorn]

Great vid. Just one thing, the orange harmony at 0:30 (and other places) keeps going.

[LoLeLombardi]

DUDE?!! WTF?!?!?! WHY ISN'T THIS ON THE GAME!!?! You charted it so damn great! I never noticed there were 3 vocal parts in the chorus! Damn right you did this! You get more than 5 stars!

[alakazam0master]

Why isn't this on Rock Band?! I so want to buy this song if it was available online. The chart for every instrument is ridiculously awesome!

[Unknown360DD]

Yeah I read the description, but I still have to say that those drums are waaay off.

[XxIronManxX3]

HOLY SNAP, Ok, in your description you say there is no real gain, this is the 20th time i've watched this in a row, perfect!

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@XxIronManxX3 Thank You, I'm flattered!

[trogdor1oh1]

DRUMS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, FUCK IT, I'LL DO IT, I JUST WANT TO SEE THIS CHART IN 100% FULL FORM. IT'S THE BEST THING EVER

[games4850]

Hi nice vid :) are you using separated files for each instrument part like the official DLC or is this just a regular cd track?

[DaRkJoKeR77]

This looks amazing. PLEASE PUT THE RBA FILE LINK IN THE DESCRIPTION. I WOULD LOVE YOU FOREVER no homo.

[StarDida]

Any chance of doing BLISS?

[094176]

You did do a great job with this here.

The drums were quite undercharted but you adressed that in your description. Good job all in all.

[094176]

Lol the strumming would be so annoying with that mechanic under it lol.

[maiskorn123]

i wish this was on rbn

[ManfredvonKarma7]

Hm, I noticed a couple phrases on vocals where the chart doesn't quite match Bellamy's timing. The "You and I must fight for our rights" bits being really noticeably off. As an early build it's quite good, though.

[Maidenplox]

Its all good, except for the drums which are extremely under charted!

[GHReaper1996]

I have to admit, this is pretty badass :)

[POK3jj]

drums are terribly charted.

[PedoNig]

@POK3jj you saw aarons tweet as well?!?????????

[POK3jj]

@PedoNig no

[joelbourget]

This is beyond epic.

Only one complaint, not with ur chart or ur vid, but the game itself, the keys aren't THAt great, there is not enough keys on screen to play things ACURATELY, because you notice this at the synth solo, instead of playing from E3 to E4, you just play E4 the whole time... as an actual keyboardist, and being able to actually play this song, this is a tad irritating to play, because now i have to re-teach myself the song just to play it on RB... This goes for ALL rb3 songs.

[PikminGuts92]

Nice. Will you release the mid file when you are done?

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@PikminGuts92 I tend not to release any of the stuff I've done mostly due to legal reasons and a superiority complex. lol. Thanks for asking, though.

[FretsonFireMuse]

@nightshadezerodotcom releasing the midi only doesn't violate any copyright issues, just saying

[DLCQPdev]

@nightshadezerodotcom There are zero legal issues surrounding the release of MIDI files that you composed from scratch, FYI.

[Gigakoops]

I do see some sections on guitar and vocals that need improvement, but still nice job.

[karaokefreak1]

Holy cow, I wish this came as RBN 2 DLC.

[gameguy1513]

I get the feeling my dreams are about to be crushed, but...is this actually going to be DLC?

[ilovcheese123]

@gameguy1513 Nope

[Gamerboy28]

Holy shit.... I need to play this on Pro Keys

[JrGamer7]

This is amazing. Please make more .

[Xenochria]

Drums are awful. I'll send you my finished KoC drums custom if you want.

[StarDida]

This is sick dude! make moar!!

[FretsonFireMuse]

Awesome to see someone else doing Muse keys charts

[ThatVileBanana]

This is extremely badass. I mean, on a badass scale of 1 to 10, this gets an 11. That's how badass this is.

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@ThatVileBanana Thanks! I wouldn't have even given myself a 6!

[Gigakoops]

Danit! Finished it before I did! Good job, though.

[LOZmaster85RB]

MOAR MUSE!

[JosJuiceZ138]

I noticed a few problems with the lyrics. Usually, only the first word of the phrase should be capitalized. Your phrases with the lyrics "Aah Aah Aah" (and similar) don't follow this rule. This also applies to phrases like the ones at 2:05 and 2:26. In phrases like the one at 2:17, the first lyric of HARM2/HARM3 should be capitalized. Do not use commas.

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@JosJuiceZ138 To be honest, I was much more concerned about getting it up on YouTube than getting the details right.

[4lic]

oh lord... how I wish Tool was in this game.

[lilbigmike009]

can i have the .rba

[SuperSaiyanWii]

There's a lot of drum notes not charter

[nightshadezerodotcom]

@SuperSaiyanWii Yeah, sorry, drums are my worst area.
