spark_ Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5uvk4iWY6o&feature=related Why did they leave out the strings from the last "we're breaking through" lines? That could have really added something spectacular to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariagr Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Morning Musers! About an hour ago, I was stuck in traffic, listening to MK Ultra and sigining along to it at the top of my lungs with people around staring strangely at me What better way to start a day ? Have a good one everyone:D Ps. It's definitely one of the best Muse songs ever. It happens to me everyday. Thank God they cannot hear me:LOL:! And yes, it is one of the best Muse songs.

MattXXI Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Curious, why does Matt not play the guitar parts during the "they're breaking through" parts live? It takes a lot away from the live performances I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Curious, why does Matt not play the guitar parts during the "they're breaking through" parts live? It takes a lot away from the live performances I think. I've thought about that too. It's not particularly difficult to play and sing, either. I'm really hoping MK Ultra will evolve more live. It's great now, but if it sticks around on the setlists it would be cool to see more going for it (than Matt constantly plucking that single Ab note the entire time during the verses ).

Lih Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 There's more than one note in the verses I think there's three or four actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simno Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Tralalala... cheeky posting of my cover.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GU0nVCurS8 lalalala!!! Definitely my favourite track from the new album, though I definitely think Matt should play the meaty guitar part over the bass in the first chorus too..

Hehe. How can I resist lolspeak? Which one though? I personally think though, the verse works well because it is so stripped back. If the whole song was complex, the string arrangement in the chorus and the main riff would loose their impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get lessons or ...? Self taught, and I promise not an exaggeration to say I literally sat down with the Origin of Symmetry tab book and a Squier strat and forced myself to learn every song. That was my intro to guitar But yes, don't want to hijack this thread. So. MK Ultra, for me maybe the best song since Absolution era.
