sade Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'll immediately lose respect for any moron who does a Michael Jackson cover as a "tribute" to him in the following months. The Flaming Lips had it right when they played as a tribute to him...a very weird version of Madonna's Borderline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper_chondriac_muser Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Erm no, do ppl think before they make threads? +1 Although it would be hilarious to see Matt try to moonwalk. But generally speaking... hell no. I thought this thread would've been locked by now. it's pointless. +1 *leaves before someone says 'then why are you posting in it .. blah blah...'* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atheist'sLastThought Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 While far too many people would disagree, Feeling Good is one of the best covers ever recorded. Definitely. ...I didn't think Can't Take My Eyes Off You was too bad either. Actually, I may love that one more. ... *paranoia* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyence53 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I would love so much to hear Muse cover Michael. At the O2. I've heard McFly cover Black or White, and Fall Out Boy cover Beat It. Both okay, not great. And live, FOB's was .... =_= But... ideally nothing too mainstream. I think Smooth Criminal is thebest cover ive heard. I can sort of imagine Muse covering something more like Ghosts or Earth Song (Bellamy's ooohs and ahhhs!!). But they are the only ones i can imagine. Given Muse's track records of covers, I think theyd choose a class one, and make it Muse lol. Anything else, pref. not. Can you imagine Bellamy singing "Just stop doggin me around?" I can't, I love Michael so much, has anyone heard any evidence that Muse or any members of Muse liked MJ at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawberry_Juice Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Everyone and their grandmother are going to be covering him for the whole fucking next year, I'm not looking forward to it. Muse should spare people the pain of yet another MJ cover. Besides, isn't TIRO Michael Jackson-y enough for you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was bad enough when FOB covered Beat It, now everyone's gonna be doing MJ covers as a 'tribute' it'll just be annoying. Do a tribute in some other way, like have a gathering or something, not rape his songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priad-Luabe Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 It would be good for them to maybe do a riff or 2 during improv bits live like all the rage riffs they do but not a whole song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veryforeign Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Why jump on the bandwagon on this one? Everyone's doing it nowadays, because ... well, because it's Michael Jackson and whatnot, "we HAVE to pay some sort of tribute...". Give it a break, no you don't "HAVE" to. Saw Dave Gahan do a Michael Jackson dance in one of Depeche Mode's latest concerts and it was horrible, horrible, horrible to infinity. Just.. don't.

nohopeinfear Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 If Muse were to ever perform a cover of MJs' then it'd have to be "Billie Jean" You can imagine Matts' vocals hitting those high notes really well and the music behind it would be interesting too.

Despite my previous one, I do agree with what you say. I think it's just a discussion about if Muse were to ever perform a cover, which song of MJs' would be best suited I suppose. Oh and "Beat It" would be excellent too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don'tPostThePear Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 They should cover Beatles. Helter Skelter or I Want You (She's So Heavy...) wouldn't be too far off methinks. Or Michelle for an Unintended like song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hah, look what I found. http://www.microcuts.net/uk/news/archives/05202000-writing_new_material.php Even OoS was inspired by Michael Jackson. Edit: Oh... That would explain why Darkshines was called "Policing The Jackson Funk". How did I not get that...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo-215 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I think they could do a riff or two, but i wouldn't like to see them cover a whole song. Mostly because it would take the place of the more awesome-ness that would be any other muse song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Here's my contribution to this ridiculous thread. My fave MJ cover: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVDtzBeap7I Thriller, Bollywood style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyence53 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Ok. How about this? If bands want to cover MJ, they will cover MJ. Might be ok, like AAF. Might be.. not so... like FOB. If they dont want to, they wont. As much as I, and so many people love Michael, not everyone did or does. I don't want anyone covering him for the sake of, oh he died this year,lets cover him, that'll go down well and get us some attention. I would only want Muse, or any other band i like, to cover them if they really truly admired him and really truly felt his loss. To the point of tears i mean. Usher was in tears. As much as i dislike him/indifferent, his emotion is real, and having realised that, if he released a cover so be it. Some bands/artists i would be sceptical of. Muse included. If there was proof of his influence or they were moved by it. Fine. If no emotion whatsoever was put into the cover, sadness or happiness, whatever, then i wouldn't be happy with it. Maybe this thread should be closed. It's just a spilt war really isnt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Muse World Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 ok.. my idea was good for some, but bad for others.. i started to listen to muse in 2000, and adore in 2001 (when they released OOS).. most of the guys that came here to criticize are starlight`s fans or time is running out/sing for absolution`s fans.. when i made this topic, i thought it was a good idea cause in my opinion jackson - muse are compatible.. you don`t know michael cause you`r not from that generation. i never listened to pop music and i`not a michael fan, but i can see that he was an big artist, unlike the bands from nowadays that have one single and, in one month, they`re forgotten.. michael`ll not be forgotten like the kids `s bands you listen.. respect the others if you want to be respected, you kids.. and go listen your new pop/ hip-hop/ numetal and emo stuff... now you can close the topic if you want .
