Lycosa Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi, been registered for a while here, but this is my first post I think. Has anyone noticed similarities between the first part of the solo part in Uprising and the end riff of Micro Cuts? The Uprising solo seems to basically be the Micro Cuts end riff but backwards. Mystery ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lycosa Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 He doesn't play the same notes there, it just sounds a bit similar. Uprising and Micro Cuts are (apart from rhythm) the same, one is just backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyb89 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 kind of, but they're not the exact same notes for that part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopix Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 The final part of Microcuts is exactly the Yes Please main riff backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil. Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 i said the same thing a while ago.. It is also the same notes as the ending riff for Freedom by RATM, just in a different rhythm... It is also the same notes as the riff right the way through Who knows who, in a different rhythm... Along with every other riff they ever play in the key of D! :LOL: SIMPLE RIFFS ON TEH D!

Lycosa Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes Please and Micro Cuts have the same notes? I just listenend to both and I'm not convinced... although they sound really alike. That riff seems really popular. Well, no conspiracy then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F o x t o n Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 kinda , the ending to micro cuts is just epic tho, they arent the same riff but definately similar, but the build up to the ending of micro cuts ... oh my, immense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museic Syndrome Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I was gonna open a new thread but then I saw that this one exists. Today when I was playing the Uprising solo, I just started playing the notes backward, and voila, I was playing Micro Cuts , the ending. Identically the same, just backwards. Damn it, Matt, you even copied yourself on The Resistance! Good job, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn it, Matt, you even copied yourself on The Resistance! Good job, though! The two aren't identical. Yes Please is about as close as you can get sound-wise and notes-wise. As a side-note though, I've found you can fit the Micro Cuts riff into the Dead Star riff when playing it, helps mix it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not talking about the way it's played, the rhythm etc. but just the notes. Edit: Just gonna re-do this post so it makes more sense. The two songs are tuned differently. Uprising's A is tuned to G while Micro Cuts stays in standard Drop D. The notes are the same, yes, but that doesn't make the two riffs identical.

It is downtuned, but's it's not really that significant unless looking at tabs. I've never done that when I play the song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always played it as a simple drop D, because of the chords, but oh we'll. Either way, despite having similar notes, the two riffs are quite different.
