HomesickSubterranean Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I've read a few things about Muse reusing a lot of their parts in newer songs, but I haven't heard too much. I mean there's some reusing, like in Citizen Erased at around 5:24, which sounds remarkably like Resistance. But is there any other examples of things like this? I'm curious because I've seen it mentioned quite a few times. I also found something in a Radiohead song that Muse either also used by coincidence or borrowed, but I'm not gonna post that as I'll be shot. Disclaimer: Muse and Radiohead are my favorite bands. I hate neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefish Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 New Born -> Unnatural Selection. When TR had just come out people were really annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigapoodle Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Go ahead and post it. Loads of people here like Radiohead as much as (if not more) than Muse anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate neither. Regarding CE and Resistance, they are both about/influenced by 1984 so that could be the reason why Matt decided to recycle his own song. As for any other examples, like Bluefish mentioned, Unnatural Selection's main riff does have a New Born vibe going on, but I think those two are the only truly noticeable reuse of past songs.

Bluefish Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Yeah, I like Radiohead as well. I noticed that a song, Glorious, I believe, had a similar line to a Radiohead song (Iron Lung maybe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevmamen96 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Oh I forgot, Glorious is distinctly similar to Paul Gilbert's Technical Difficulties. LINKIEZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shwissky Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 The start of Ruled by scercy and everything in its right place sound similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sing_For_Absolution Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Seeing as this has become a Muse-ripping-Radiohead thread... - Hyper Chondriac Music, effects included, sounds like Bullet Proof... I Wish I Was. - At 0:19 in Overdue, the riff resembles that of Creep. Also, there is a brief sequence in Redemption that, I imagine, Matt subconciously took from another symphony, though I can't recall the name/composer of the piece. As far as Muse recycling their own material, the bass riff from Assassin and the closing riff of Knights are pretty similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't hear the similarity between these songs myself, but it's not unlikely that there will be unconscious similarities between songs since the inspiration and ideas come from the same people.

Raiko Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Unnatural Selection references quite a few songs. It opens with an organ, similar to Megalomania. It has the New Bord esque riff and a Space Dementia break down. Apparently the piano piece in Cross-Pollination might be taken directly from Butterflies & Hurricanes too.

HomesickSubterranean Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 The start of Ruled by scercy and everything in its right place sound similar. Yeah, I think that too, but I guess I'll post my Radiohead comparison.. How To Disappear Completely at 3:06 has a sound effect that sounds exactly like the intro to Glorious imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musedan Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Glorious - "faith it drives me away" My iron lung - "faith, you're driving me away" plus, undisclosed and guiding light have virtually the same bassline in parts. C Guiding light - C C C C C C C Undiclosed - C C C C Fail on bassline example, but i hope you know what i mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW7 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 Apocalypse Please and Sing for Absolution have the same primary rhythm in the bass line with: du du, *rest* du *rest* du *rest* du du du... ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iivis Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I haven't found that many, the only thing I have noticed is the similarities between NB and US riffs. I tried looking for the other stuff mentioned in this thread, but I just don't see (hear?) it. Apocalypse Please and Sing for Absolution have the same primary rhythm in the bass line with: du du, *rest* du *rest* du *rest* du du du... ect. I don't know if that counts as "reusing" or "borrowing" since they're on the same album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
