Plex Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 DISCLAIMER: You must know basic music theory to understand this! Alright, well this doesn't mean much, but I just thought it's very interesting and is more than a coincidence. During the song "Piano Thing", Matt "Arpeggiates" a certain chord. It's at about 17 seconds in. This chord is an FmAdd9, which is the notes: F(Root), G(Ninth), Ab(Minor Third), C(Perfect Fifth). Now, the beginning piano lick in Ruled by Secrecy goes like this: "C, G#, G, F, G, G#" then repeats itself. This is the exact same chord as the chord in piano thing. I think Matt was playing around with chords he liked (such as the FmAdd9) and came up with the intro to Ruled by Secrecy. Don't bother asking how I figured this out. I do have quite a bit of spare time. Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shining_dark Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Same thing. yes but its enharmonically incorrect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plex Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 yes but its enharmonically incorrect I was actually thinking about changing it, but I was too lazy Edit: There. It's an Ab now. Damn I have a lot of spare time... Also, like I said in my OP, this is no big deal, just a theory on how one of their songs evolved. I always thought it was cool to see how Muse's songs evolved over time to eventually get on an album. A good example is Matt playing the Take a Bow chords in '04 after Citizen Erased in Glastonbury.

RetroShout Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I've always thought it was similar to Con-Science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dockertae Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Amnesiac-era Radiohead. Yuhu. I can agree with this. As much as I don't think the bands sound alike, the way the drums come in reminds me of Pyramid Song and the piano also reminds me of Like Spinning Plates (the live version).
