It's not a cover, if that's what you mean, it's just derivative. They've been stealing from RATM since Origin of Symmetry (compare Snake Charmer and Hyper Music).

Some stuff:

Zane Lowe (a BBC Radio One dj) is having his last show on March 5th. He's a massive Muse fan, and several Muse singles have premiered on his show in the past.

Some recent photos tweeted by the band and their crew show that they're currently doing rehearsals for a live show. But their first tour date isn't until May 29th. Why would they be rehearsing this early?

My conjecture: on March 5th Muse will debut a bunch of new songs on Zane Lowe's farewell show :neckbeard:


Also, yesterday Matt Bellamy tweeted that "Psycho" is coming soon. That's probably the name of the first single!

People on the Muse.mu forums have been doing some internet detectoring, and have found the website, resume and Linked In profile for Matt Hayslett, Director of Photographer for the "Psycho" video clip.

From those sources, they've determined he's also worked on videos and/or live visuals for songs/tracks called "Dead Inside", "Drill Sergeant" and "Hollow Point Bullet". Pretty loving cool!


Edit: Alternatively, some people are suggesting that "Drill Sergeant" and "Hollow Point Bullet" are working titles for "Psycho" and "Dead Inside", because the former two are only on his resume and the latter two are only on his Linked In page.

Edit 2: Warner's lawyers must be quick on the phone, all the info is gone now, hahaha.

You can say that about anything / anyone.

What it comes down to is that Muse are superior, and still doing the biz. RATM good until 1999, and not one of the greatest even then. It's not even a comparison.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY JESUS!!!
Just announced from Muse.mu :

quote:

Drones will be released on 8 June 2015!

From Matt: “To me, 'Drones' are metaphorical psychopaths which enable psychopathic behaviour with no recourse. The world is run by Drones utilizing Drones to turn us all into Drones. This album explores the journey of a human, from their abandonment and loss of hope, to their indoctrination by the system to be a human drone, to their eventual defection from their oppressors."

The first single from Drones, “Dead Inside,” will debut the week of 23 March. Pre-order for the new album will be available tomorrow at 7:30pm GMT, along with the new song “Psycho.”

DRONES
1. Dead Inside
2. [Drill Sergeant]
3. Psycho
4. Mercy
5. Reapers
6. The Handler
7. [JFK]
8. Defector
9. Revolt
10. Aftermath
11. The Globalist
12. Drones

Co-produced by Muse and Robert John “Mutt” Lange

The description and some of the track titles make me roll my eyes, but if the music itself is awesome, I can get past the rest. The brief snippets that we've heard so far via Instagram, etc. give me hope!

Have you listened to Snake Charmer? I put it to you that it is a comparison.

But that's not the point. The point was that Muse have been doing RATM-style riffs for years and years and that's why someone might mistake one of their riffs for a RATM cover.

I recall that riff from some jam on the HAARP album. The song itself is incredibly silly, but not too bad.
Also, did using "gently caress" on Panic Station open the floodgates on frivolous cursing in Muse songs or what?

It's 0305030 riff, they've been using it for 15 years and finally bothered making it into a song.

I don't get why Muse can't write songs any more. By that I don't just mean in some high-level wanky "this song sucks!" way (though the song does suck), I mean they've lost the ability to cement ideas together, to sequence ideas into sensible patterns. It used to be one of their great strengths - songs that were maybe workmanlike but built like brick shithouses, with particularly intelligent bridges. This is just a bunch of different go-nowhere riffs taped together haphazardly, with terrible lyrics that before you even get to their intellectual content just don't scan.

To be honest I never liked that riff that much 15 years ago either.
