Alec Ferris Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 What's a typical funk performance? Well, I meant anything between Funkadelic and James Brown, really. Not sure whether Matt tackling Brown's barking and hollering would be more catastrophic than an attempt that the laconic stuff you get on say, Mothership Connection. Dude...that's disco, this is funk Parliament was not disco. P-Funk- the clue's in the name. A Lateralus kind of song is what i expect next from Muse. I mean it has to be done. I can't see Muse delivering music that sounds as, err, austere as Tool. They're more likely to skew towards Deftones territory. Has anyone mentioned thsi? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drone_%28music%29 Why else do you think I made the Gira + Sunn O))) remark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con101 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 People who suggest Muse to DJs are people I never ever wanna party with. Or meet for that matter. Lol why!? I've done it before but only when wasted and then in the morning thought how catastrophic it would have sounded in one of Plymouth's many nightclubs. Still, certainly makes a change from the horrifically mundane chart crap they force down our throats all the time. I swear it's the same generic beats and those hideous "drops" everyone seems to love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 That's not really nothing new though, the album is expected to be out mid-May. How do we know it's expected mid-May? I thought it was "summer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Early summer is assumed because of the tour dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Heat Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 And also because it's illogical to book 20 festivals with no new album to promote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 probably my 5th time saying it in this thread. I feel you, I've said it a bunch of times too. At least Musewiki knows this although it doesn't source the interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Well excuuuuuse me. Every time I check this thread there's been 10 pages of bullshit, and I'm not wading through it to find one nugget of actual news. And yes, I knew about the festivals. Did not hear that a promoter said mid-may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musedan Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX14yfT8hGo I've just thrown this together on logic Pro X, recreating the riff and combining it with drum tracks similar to existing Muse songs, only to just realise someone did the exact same thing a few days ago But here you go if you want to listen.

serpentsatellite Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 My pessimism forces me to wonder if that promoter was just guessing, as so many of us are, because it would be utterly weird to do 20+ festivals and THEN put out the album. And the band did appear to state they were going to play some new music; again, not impossible w/o an album release, but imo pretty unlikely. I still firmly believe "before the festivals" though.

The French future tense he used in the interview suggests he knows this as concrete information, rather than speculative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the riff is exactly the same we can already assume the drum track will be too? The ones I used were just examples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonisdead Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 At all? Listen again. It sounds only vaguely similar to the part after 1:25 but when I hear "Helsinki Jam" I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKNkqVOOeSQ 1:11 ~ 1:25 is the main riff of the jam, the rest is just backbone. Regardless, after 1:25 Chris mainly just plays open notes and hammers on any that aren't open. Matt in the riff isn't just playing mainly open notes, but a bunch of notes up the neck, with some open notes serving to add rhythm; Chris plays way more open notes in Helsinki. tl;dr they're vaguely similar, but even then not even to the main riff of Helsinki so??? nah not really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Who cares if it's open notes or not. It sounds identical to a section of Helsinki Jam and you can't deny that. 0:45 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
