Olly. Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Yup, I heard it at Isle of Wight Festival 2007 (with high pitched squeals as well and all the bells and whistles of extras they could possibly do) and they've done it numerous other places.

Minimal Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Assassin sounds like a huge jumbled mess, is it because of the production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabacr 31770 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I recently started digging Assassin, especially GOB, but I haven't got DMG on my iPod. Every time I listen, it's just more awesome. Lower, heavier, and the drums are so overworked on the studio version, Debase is awesome, much heavier again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coralucky Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I just can't never get enough of this song! I can listen to it like 10 times in a row... amazing! They really should play it live some more in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croekk Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Does somebody have the separate audio tracks (from Guitar Hero) as flac or any other lossless format? I can only find mp3s and they sound shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamtheUniverse Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 would be amazing to be a regular, but the awesome songs which are kept to every so often makes them more special ie citizen erased, bliss, mk ultra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interzone Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I only just heard the original pre-BHAR 'Debase Masons Grog' live version of Assassin today. I would really love them to play that version live again, it's probably the heaviest thing they've done. Unfortunately these days the chances of them playing anything that me'al are slim to none.

SupermassiveCookie Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Forgive me if none of this makes sense, it's 3 in the morning and I'm bored. I personally think Assassin should be played very little (i.e. once per tour leg?), as one of those semi-rarities. It's far too epic to become one of the regulars, methinks. Besides, it's not really a "crowd" sort of song. It's too... sinister. I'm sure us Musers would find no trouble in screaming the lyrics, but it's no Feeling Good or Knights of Cydonia. If it were to be played live (which it won't, probably), it should be a Citizen Erased or Bliss. As for my favourite version of Assassin, I honestly prefer the live version they played on the BHAR tour. Different guitar in the verses and chorus, complete with Grand Omega Bosses' interlude. It's longer, which is good, has variety, which is good, and is still as epic, which (if you haven't guessed) is also good. However, if I could "build" my own Assassin from the different versions, it would be this: Grand Omega Bosses' without those horrible, horrible whammy wails (seriously, what the hell), with Debase's heavy drumming in the verses and chorus (keeping Dom's epic ride-snare rape for the guitar riff), and Matt's live guitar parts. If Muse did that, it would make my life, shortened considerably due to the fact that having heard such epicness my existence would no longer be required. Anyway, thanks for reading my rant, cheers.

Demigod Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Anyone know the exact tempo of assassin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Anyone know the exact tempo of assassin? The song doesn't have an exact tempo, it goes up and down. The most common tempo is ~125 in the verses and chorus. For the intro and similar breakdowns, it speeds up to between 130-140. For the heavier parts where the bass is more dominant, it slows down to about 120. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Was just replying to someone on twitter with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmSGXK34n8k I swear, this song had so much more potential than the studio version came out with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Definitely one of the most underrated Muse songs.

DifferentPerson Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 They should rotate this with The Small Print. But for that to happen they would actually have to play The Small Print... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
