Morinphen Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 If I´m not wrong, Matt said he got the inspiration from DJ Shadow´s Organ Donor, which in turn took its sampling from Giorgio Moroder´s "Tears". But Bach´s theory is blatantly obvious. Although there´s always the "videogame theory"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjYf94WPV80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_obPAPkFAA How dare anyone imply that Bellamy copies old songs, even little bits. :LOL::LOL: I knew where that was going in the first few seconds. Though to be fair, that song falls flat after the first 30 seconds. Screenager has a much stronger progression IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnt-bliss Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Hey, I'm going to be cool and give my actual opinion here! (hehe... although mees loves me some banter) Anyway, sure, it might sound similar (I'm loving the video game theory), but there's only so many combinations of notes that could be used throughout history, so something's bound to sound like something else eventually, but the creator might not know it. So yeah... *flies away* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky_ Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=82788 we should merge this thread with the thread above and rename it to: "Muse songs that sound like other songs" Or sumat. just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxyous Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Another one: Exo 3 smells like Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven No. It's much closer to Liebestraum by Fliszt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poor Bison Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 When I got the Resistance and sniffed the cover, it had a very similar scent to that of many other CDs. Muse took the smell from other CDs, I hate them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. ORANGE Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Well...It's not the same at all - first - the key is different - whereas Plug in Baby starts in the major scale (sending scale notes from the 3rd up), the part in Bach's Toccata is actually in diminished chord at that time (and the so called melody starts at the root tone) - that's why it sounds incomplete - it's just a bridge...The second - the chords are different.. Well it's easy to find some famous melody or harmony in Bach's music anyway because he was more of a music scientist (he tried to compose his works in all keys, using all chord changes immaginable just to explore...That's why his meThusic sounds more sterile than other baroque music and of course later composed music)...
