Disassociative Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I was listening to Assassin (Grand Omega Bosses Edit) and during the part after 2:29 I noticed the riff playing just seems very similer to one in another song but I just can't figure out what it is. Or I just could be wrong/delusional. Can any of you tell what I'm thinking I hear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bl44t44p Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Another Muse song? USoE perhaps, at 1:34? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disassociative Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 Another Muse song? USoE perhaps, at 1:34? I think that might be it, because this is confusing me. I'm pretty sure it was a Muse song too. *Goes and check* Yeah that's it. Thanks, you saved me ages going through my Muse library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Morrison Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 While I'm aware this in no way answers your query, I FREAKIN' LOVE THIS SONG. More so than the original perhaps. I'm playing Prelude in G Minor just now; I smile whenever I hear this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0hawk Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 The whiny/squeaky bits add to the impact of the main riff (the 8-0-0-0-0-0--8-0-0-0-0-0-0) bit. It just smacks you in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetro Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I think that might be it, because this is confusing me. I'm pretty sure it was a Muse song too. *Goes and check* Yeah that's it. Thanks, you saved me ages going through my Muse library I'm sorry (and sorry to bump), but that's not alike at all, and even with my best good will can I see that. The only thing you could have found alike, was that at a certain point a more Arab-ish scale was used. Most Arab songs sound alike to me, but not this On-topic: Was "Grand Omega Bosses edit" done by Muse themselves? I like the intro much more because of the distorted <something>, and it makes me like the song much more in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gohenko Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm sorry (and sorry to bump), but that's not alike at all, and even with my best good will can I see that.

Most Arab songs sound alike to me, but not this On-topic: Was "Grand Omega Bosses edit" done by Muse themselves? I like the intro much more because of the distorted <something>, and it makes me like the song much more in general. From MuseWiki: It was reported that an extended version of "Assassin" was to be the B-Side for the "Knights of Cydonia" single on the offical Muse site.[15] This was later clarified to be for B-Side to the vinyl and non-preordered digital formats, and that the name of it is "Grand Omega Bosses edit".[16] Grand Omega Bosses is an anagram for 'Debase Masons Grog', or 'Message Board Song', a former title during the 2005 cryptography game,[6] used to signify the then-untitled, extended version of "Assassin" on a set list. This version reinserts the interlude and lyrics featured in the 2005 live version, as well as adding a piano part during said interlude. The "Grand Omega Bosses edit" adds some depth to the interpretation of the song. Instead of one resisting alongside others (as in "join forces underground"), the importance of taking action before the isolation of resistance can be overcome is strengthened in the lyrics of the bridge (see "You're not alone / But you must actualise / The first attack"). Whilst at 3:11 Bellamy can be heard saying 'Go!' in the album version, this was removed on the "Grand Omega Bosses edit". The piano part within the 'Debase' interlude was added prior to the shortening of the song, rather than afterwards. Costey revealed that the band had been planning to release the "Grand Omega Bosses edit" for some time prior to its release. This doesn't actually answer your question, but it tells a lit more about the Grand Omega Bosses edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
