I don't know if I'm over thinking this or if it's just a coincidence, but in Knights of Cydonia at the verse the bass drums sound like horse galloping.

 

If you listen a couple more times paying a lot of attention you might even notice how the song evokes a 'western' kind of vibe!

MuseWiki listed once that there was a gig where they had a jam of Queen's I Want To Break Free as a KoC intro... any links?

 

My favorite is still the Close Encounters riff.

 

According to MuseWiki:

 

The percussion bears similarity with I Want to Break Free, which they covered as an instrumental before Knights of Cydonia in Rolling Stone 2006.

 

Unfortunately, I can't find anything on YouTube for it, so...
