PlugInYorkie Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) I have looked and can't seem to find any threads on this amazing song so I thought I'd make one... ETERNALLY MISSED. Possibly one of Muse's best and most unknown bsides. I think it's an absolute gem! Strong lyrics, great guitar and a very signature Muse feel. It's only ever been played live once or so and is known as the "rusty one" as they forgot how to play it fully... Matt once labeled it as one of their best songs but alas it's been forgotten...! Anybody think it'll ever make a live comeback or have any other thoughts on the song? If I ever meet Muse I'll definitely tell them they've gotta play it EDIT: I'll delete the post if this has been done as I don't want to upset the mods!

Jazzthief Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 He didn't exactly call it their best song. In 2002 when he had written only a handfull of songs like Apocalypse Please, Fury and Hysteria, then he thought that it's the strongest of the four and didn't think he'd come up with something better. When the production of the album was finished then they felt that the song would feel too out of place on the album and didn't include it in the final product. Incredible song though. In my top 5. The lyrics, bass, chorus - everything is just brainmeltingly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lyrics, bass, chorus - everything is just brainmeltingly good. I seem to remember Matt saying something along the lines of when they wrote it, they thought it was the best thing they'd ever done, but after a few plays and listens they thought it was a bit shit. It's cool. Live versions of Rusty One are better than the studio version I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanp16 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I want to know what kind of effect is on the bass in the verses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogface Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I listened to this quite a few times when it came out. Pretty decent tune. Intro is reminiscent of the NOFX track "Bottles to the Ground" I doubt Muse were listening to them at the time though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Definitely in my top 5 b-sides. Maybe #2 even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Ferris Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'd say probably 3rd after Fury and Glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I think the chorus lets it down a bit. Everything else is awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn. Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Definitely in my top 5 b-sides. Same here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlugInYorkie Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 Easily one of my favourite b-sides! It has so much potential as a live track and they could easily revamp it for a modern gig...but I doubt it'll ever get played again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
