You forgot the bit where Matt must always seem to do this "power scream" that Muse used to do a lot in their early stuff especially with Showbiz and Origin Of Symmetry.
or like he does in Time is running out, or Take a Bow, or ES Part 1: Overture, or in Survival... but not in Drones. Let's not talk about Drones right now
Everything but the vocal was spot on. The lyrics should have a "one word -- pause -- rest of sentence" structure. See Madness ("I -- I can't get these"), Handler ("you -- were my oppressor"), Assassin ("war -- is overdue"), etc.
parasti Psycho (Love-- it will get you nowhere) Dead Inside (Unleash-- a million drones) Animals (Animal-- you're an animal) Starlight (Starlight-- I will be chasing a starlight) Map of the Problematique (Fear-- and panic in the air)
Not gonna lie, as a musician, Muse fan and mix engineer, this is fucking killer! This could actually be a lost demo from basically any of their albums after Showbiz! I fact, fuck it, I can play all the instruments needed..... I might actually cover this, turn it into a full song just so see how far we can go with the quirks of Bellamy, Wolstenholme and Howard!
Ahhh, go on then, it'll be a proper laugh! Will take a while though. It annoys me when people do parodies that actual fans think are a bit shit... You can't parody Rammstein just by singing in German and having vague rock guitars, that's funny to a lot of people, but not to fans. Same goes here, I want an actual hardcore Muse fan to laugh, fuck everyone else who likes a single song off each album!
Any chance of getting the MIDI files for the bass and synth arpeggio? Don't worry if it's too much hassle, I've transcribed plenty of songs by ear after getting cheesed off by totally wrong guitar tab, but it would save me a few hours getting the synth arp right!
Yeah, I think they're different in that they don't (or didn't, I think they have in some of their newer stuff) edit out breath noises, which most other music does
Oh trust me, he is! Believe it or not, there are people out there who are kept up at night debating the ethics surrounding gently telling people that yes, Chris has a synthesizer track mixed in with his bass rig when Muse play Hysteria live... The sound/feel of Hysteria relies IS that sound. It relies heavily on Chris running multiple hefty amps simultaneously, each preceded by a carefully picked/dialled in distortion/fuzz/effect pedal. Add in a clean amp, and DI signal, and that's the meat of it. Then they went one step further, and mirrored every single note Chris played down to the tiniest inflection with a synth (which poor Rich Costey must have spent a whole day EQing to be flawless enough to layer perfectly with the combined bass tracks without turning into a sonic mess). If one ever catches themselves in that dilemma, the answer is.... to let people believe whatever they want to believe.... (at the risk of sounding like that culturally significant dude with cool sunglasses who goes around offering people multicoloured pills). I tend to fall asleep thinking "Eh, I think Chris' best Hysteria tone live was Glastonbury 2004, and that's why I use a Wooley Mammoth/Mastotron pedal as 70% of the sound, dialled in like I'm rushing around like a madman at a music festival. Maaaaan I can't wait to pick my bass up tomorrow". Sleep may or may not occur. Welcome to the brain of someone with ADHD :D
The synth isn't even close to the one in Bliss. The only thing they have in common is that they both use arpeggios, which is the thing they're making fun of Muse for. If that's the synth from Bliss, then Muse steal from themselves constantly because they use fast synth arpeggios everywhere.
What melodic concept is that? Anyway it's also almost the same tempo as the synth arpeggios in Knights of Cydonia as well. And it doesn't really matter because he could have used a synth arpeggio at pretty much any tempo because you can find them in almost every Muse song.
Flippin' brilliant. I was dying laughing at first, but this is seriously good stuff. :) One more element to add to make this more Muse-like is to repeat the verses and add a different guitar riff and a different synth arpeggio each time around.
I did this and played it at Wembly, however, they also required 10 other songs which I hadn't thought of. Luckily, I have rather an extensive George Formby repertoire and I'd bought my ukelele with me in case the space synths didn't work. As you can probably guess, my renditions of "When I'm cleaning windows", "Standing by the lampost" and "Ohh where's me washboard" went down a storm with the kids.
Their music is Muse's music no matter what, styles change, people get bored and try new stuff, you don't have to like it, but don't belittle an artist for evolving.
9. OCTAVES ON GUITAR! 10. Ensure first verse is twice as long as the second 11. Whammy solo 12. Chorus with heavy vocal effects before going into the main hook
I was a fan from the first album and I'm still a huge fan. Honestly as long as they still sound good, I like it. Artists can't just do the same old stuff over and over, they gotta evolve.
Their weird ✌ guitar intros are badass ok like hyper music that intro is badass or hysteria matts guitar intro on hysteria is awesome thats what makes us hyped matt works hard to make these awesome effects. And sounds and music for all of us
Sounds like something straight off the B-sides for Showbiz or Origin of Symmetry. Lmao you nailed it, it's more of a Muse song than everything they put out after Black Holes. OK, maybe after The Resistance.
I feel like Muse also adds some small details from here and there and uses weird guitar effects all over their songs and they toy with the whammy a lot too,anyway great video
My husband was in another room and he yelled "is that Muse?" 😂😂😂
Marilee Lukefahr omg😂
That's how you know it's legit.
Your husband wins everything
ASDFGJKLLFJFN
What a dumbass 😂
i know this is a joke but that bass actually sounds pretty badass
Holden Schaat Well yeah it’s basically the bassline to Futurism 😂
This is an insult to muse, now where can I buy the full album
I believe it's already released and it's called Drones.
The Great Sloth Lord yeah
The Great Sloth Lord LOL
Fuck sake😂
You killed me hahahaha
*extra track of pure breath*
You did it sooo right.
Thought I made this comment

Are coming for you.
Your welcome

Heavy breathing
10/10 best muse lyric
It’s actually cyborg lizards.
You’re welcome.
You’re welcome.
>Matt Bellamy wants to know your location
*[Allow]*
I think he contact it :]
*the band pulls this video up while they're recording new music*
Shh, don't give them ideas!
They would though
Thought Contagian follows this formula to a T lol.
Lol, the formula works though
Yeah in case they forget the steps
I watched this ready to get angry for my favorite band and instead I'm laughing my ass off because it's too true

I feel like I should be upset since I’m such a huge muse fan but this is so accurate that it would be wrong to deny it.
Rhett Lila I feel the same, like I wanna feel insulted but it's kind of true
Exactly.
I'm furious but at the same time I can't be because I know it's true.
You forgot the bit where Matt must always seem to do this "power scream" that Muse used to do a lot in their early stuff especially with Showbiz and Origin Of Symmetry.
He also forgot the part where you rock the guitar with both hands like EVH
I live for that
or like he does in Time is running out, or Take a Bow, or ES Part 1: Overture, or in Survival...
but not in Drones.
Let's not talk about Drones right now
What exactly do you mean with "power scream"?
like the end part of 'showbiz'
It's sounds legit like them
The space synths are practically "Bliss"
Because it's basically Futurism.
@@gargaduk the bassline is almost the same from Futurism XDXDXDX

You forgot to smash the guitar into the speakers.

So these steps are the origin of the Origin of Symmetry?
Definitely origin of symmetry in a nutshell.
And we liked it that way!
this sounds just like Futurism lmao

Yeah, that's totally right :-)
THIS IS THE BEST MUSE SONG EVER
omg that lot of likes
WTF. Nope
Alexandre Goeudevert it's a joke

I am a massive Muse fan... and if this released a better produced version of this song, I would not be complaining XD
Thank you for this tutorial! I now feel ready to record my masterpiece, "United States of Space Demons"
Matt would be proud
what the fuck i need a full version of this immediately
I SECOND THAT
Some weird guitar intro xD, that kills me xD
Raul Becerril *Groove intestifies*
Like "plug in baby" xd
I usually cut these introductions

Send him the midi Max :P
really wanna hear it
Damn, you forgot to make this sound better at performance:)
You ain't even joking.
Yes. One of the only band that does sound better live.
Injured? GOOD!
Need a full song. ASAP
Nightscreams So you should go to hear Muse's songs, weirdo!
step 8 is important
Yeah, I think they're different in that they don't (or didn't, I think they have in some of their newer stuff) edit out breath noises, which most other music does
@@phischphood his breaths are alot more controlled now.
You must be a hardcore Muser to make this. I love Muse so much and this sounds like a song they would make. Spot on
Thank you :) I do spend a ton of time in r/muse, and love the band.

This bass line is so similar to Futurism song.
ikr
HAHAHAHA YES THAT IS PWOPER
Except you forgot the rock-god factor.
Duuude you nailed it
Keep the weird content coming!
Step 9: Add a super high falsetto with extra loud breath (ummm, this one might be tricky)
You take
the bass of futurism
The effects of blockades
The guitar intro of fury
The lyrics of micro cuts
You get this
Blockades didnt even exist back then lol
@@Rudi361 eh, true but you get the idea
I guess Muse watched your tutorial because 'Blockades' sounds really familiar xd
This is better than Dig Down :v
:U
Kikis Barrera :v
DEFINITIVELY
Anything's better than dig fuckin down
diiiick towwwn
You essentially just took elements from Bliss, Time Is Running Out, and Supremacy.
Oryxthemadbro And Space dementia
Which elements?
And Futurism
The synth isn't even close to the one in Bliss. The only thing they have in common is that they both use arpeggios, which is the thing they're making fun of Muse for. If that's the synth from Bliss, then Muse steal from themselves constantly because they use fast synth arpeggios everywhere.

PotatoLoverz me too!
Are we not gonna talk about how it said “pwoper muse song”?
Look Dom, it’s a pwoper muse song!
Flippin' brilliant. I was dying laughing at first, but this is seriously good stuff. :) One more element to add to make this more Muse-like is to repeat the verses and add a different guitar riff and a different synth arpeggio each time around.
STEP 6.5 distort everything on the solo
I feel insulted xD
Spot on!
How to wroite like a Brit pwoperly.
OutNumber what
No
No no no no, this is how you do it:
1. Find a sick bass line
3. ?!?!?!?!
2. Profit

this makes me want to listen to muse now thanks
If Bliss and Microcuts had a baby
😂 I'm a die hard muse fan and I'm sure a lot of people will find this offensive, but this is freaking hilarious! Hahaha
Me just realizing i commented on this 2 years ago and completely forgot xD
Given their latest attempts at albums, I think Muse should learn how to make a muse song
Their music is Muse's music no matter what, styles change, people get bored and try new stuff, you don't have to like it, but don't belittle an artist for evolving.
Yeah but it sucks though. Evolving is okay, not devolving.
You need listen to Thought Contagion.
Logic Lunacy thought contagion is awesome
Someone hasn't listened to THought Contagion it seems.
Recipe :
Bliss synth arpeggio + futurism bass + Supremacy strings + Hyper music scratchy guitar intro + Micro cuts vocals
You're pretty close!
This is like muse lv 9000 omg I wanna try and mix those
i went from " ah there is no way to stereotype muse" to " oh..." to " HA lol this is so true" in 1:52
9. OCTAVES ON GUITAR!
10. Ensure first verse is twice as long as the second
11. Whammy solo
12. Chorus with heavy vocal effects before going into the main hook
Muse fans be like:
"DUDE THERES A DEEPER MESSAGE THEYLL BRING BACK THE HEAVY STUFF UGHHHHHH"
Bryce Page idc if it's heavy or not as long as it's good🙄
Nah muse fans be like: this is actually true, but it kinda takes away the magic i felt in their tracks.
Because they are not idiots.
Sebastion Heitzmann tru
I was a fan from the first album and I'm still a huge fan. Honestly as long as they still sound good, I like it. Artists can't just do the same old stuff over and over, they gotta evolve.
didn't know the micro cuts xx anniversary remix was this good
Well. It sounds like Muse :V
you did it! you broke a muse song down to it's bare essentials!
ok, I did the breath extreme loudly part, now I have to learn the rest
okay but the vocals were actually really good, i'm impressed
Your voice sounds so much like thom York’s
this is good stuff man!
This is just awesome 😂
Somebody asks:
-Do you play Muse?”
-No, I do Muse.
-Ohh anyone can do Muse 😂
Their weird ✌ guitar intros are badass ok like hyper music that intro is badass or hysteria matts guitar intro on hysteria is awesome thats what makes us hyped matt works hard to make these awesome effects. And sounds and music for all of us
This is so OoS lmaoo I almost got 'Micro Cuts' vibes
I want to hate this but I can’t. This n ‘how to make an Alt J song’ are now two fave videos on youtube to go back to every time I need to smile
"JK. Play Madness again"
_DEAD_
This sounds like old, old Muse I'm talking Showbiz/Origins of Symmetry. Good job mate
Love the fact that you double tracked the breath, and nothing else. 😂
"Something About Government Robot Demons in Our Hearts" LOLZ
but. like. this is so accurate
Disappointed, you need a weird outro like you playing with your zipper. Actually this is way better than Drones lol
Seriously, even the handler? And reapers? And defector? As a long time muse fan, I loved drones...
The handler was pretty good
to be honest reapers was a bit of a confused mess but on the broad strokes i'd agree
Eoin O'Kelly Reapers was my favourite song off the album
i get you yeah
to me it had a lot of pretty good ideas but i don't personally think they fit with each other? if that makes any sense
Omg that's how their songs sounds!
haha this is brilliant. and im a huge muse fan
Sounds like something straight off the B-sides for Showbiz or Origin of Symmetry. Lmao you nailed it, it's more of a Muse song than everything they put out after Black Holes. OK, maybe after The Resistance.
Thats what they did in blockades LMAO
It sounds more like Muse than Muse does
lyrics pls
Cybor lasers

Are coming for you
Lizards. How can lasers be cyborgs?
"Pwoper Guitaw" gotta love his pwonunciation
I feel like Muse also adds some small details from here and there and uses weird guitar effects all over their songs and they toy with the whammy a lot too,anyway great video
It feels like Matt did watch this video to remix Origin of Symmetry. The snare in New Born is soooo loud!
I'm in hysterics xD
"oh why am i watching this i will just be mad"
But in the end i was HOWLING AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
WE NEED A FULL VERSION OF THIS!
I can kinda understand the whole Creo sounds like muse thing now lol
Muse, is that you?
HUGE fan of Muse, but this is hilarious...
