Not sure if anyone noticed this, I cbf reading the other thread.

 

In the second Instagram clip, Chris plays a bass riff and someone mentions a new bass sound. Third clip starts with very similar riff + distortion and fuzz-ish sound. In the fourth, the bass is playing in the same key as the previous two but without fuzz.

 

Not that it means anything, but enjoy.

After seeing Royal Blood live I can say they are not to be made fun of, absolutely amazing live and if muse replicated a bit of their heaviness on the drums and bass I'd be happy.

 

Obviously Chris is a much better bass player so I'm hoping for some great stuff from him this album, we've talked heaps about Matt but not so much about Chris!

Yeah not sure why they're the subject of so much passive ridicule on here, heard their album a few times now and they sound like the real deal. I think it's perhaps because people prefer other heavy bands and can't understand the exposure RB are getting in mainstream music.

 

I've heard they're cracking live aswell, I'll know for sure after I see them next friday I guess.

What are you talking about? I'm not making fun of Royal Blood. They invented rock music.

 

Oh come on...nobody honestly thinks that!

 

Sure they aren't exactly new or original, but it's great to have more bands like this who are popular rather than all the other mainstream pop shit. If they get kids into rock, than that's great!

 

Hopefully Drones can pickup some new fans too

There has never really been a shortage of popular rock bands. Royal Blood aren't taking the place of some pop act. If anything they're taking the place of a rock band that's actually innovative.

I do enjoy Royal Blood - at times the album production is great and everything sounds nice and full, but there are moments when the bass & drums just aren't enough.

 

I'd like more technical, interesting riffs from Muse. In the last thread people were obsessing over the 0-3-0-5-0-3-0 riff and others they play after songs live - they're far too simple, based on other band's songs and just don't lead anywhere. There is merit in taking forward the Helsinki Jam type material but not these simpler riffs which are the kind you might say that Royal Blood are more likely to use.

 

MK Ultra is an example of a great spidery/interesting riff - I could go for something like that played an octave lower with some different rhythmic/syncopation maybe even a 'Math' element to it?

 

I'd like some Math-Rock experimentation. Animals' polyrhythms were great too.

I agree, but damn I love their music still.

It's like nobody has heard of the band Disco Ensemble; but some of their guitar riffs and songs would be massive if people heard them.

 

Royal Blood have only just started so they've got heaps of room to grow and shape their sound.

 

Anyways...back to Muse!
