MehrDaD Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 "And there is no place for stadium-filling rock act Muse, despite their song Plug-In Baby being said to have replaced Stairway To Heaven as one of the prime choices for musicians testing out new gear in guitar shops." http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/arctic-monkeys-vs-deep-purple-public-to-vote-on-greatest-guitar-riff-of-all-time-9606117.html I wonder if any of this Muse haters heard anything from Absolution or Oos On the other side, I think we can blame Muse for becoming a soft band God knows how much I pray 24/7 to hear some heavy stuff on 7 LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenbanana Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Any list with Lonely Boy amongst its top riffs doesn't need to be taken seriously (and denying Page, Richards and Hendrix more than one song is ridiculous). That said, it is fair to say there haven't been any classic Muse riffs for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I don't even understand the inclusion of the Muse comment in that article, except again to piss people off and drive views. It's the "best riffs of all time" - and some of the artists are actually dead. Who gives a shit if Muse has "gone soft" recently, in that context?

New Born Lee Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I just want to point out that it's a panel from BBC Radio 2 making the nominations, not The Independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I just want to point out that it's a panel from BBC Radio 2 making the nominations, not The Independent. Weren't they the ones having an argument on air about whether Muse were terrible or average? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frakkles Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I saw "Wheels" by Foo Fighters on there and proceeded to laugh for about 10 straight minutes. BBC Radio 2 just lost all of what little was left of its credibility with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maturefan Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I, too, am angry that there is no Muse riff, although I am happy that they have included 'How Soon Is Now?' by The Smiths (that's the one I voted for ) and 'No Surprises' by Radiohead. I would be interested to know which riff other Musers would choose from Muse's recordings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plug In Baby, New Born, Stockholm, Dead Star, In Your World, Knights ending riff, all great riffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
