What song would you most like Muse to do a cover of?

[Kodack]

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

I imagine a dark synthscape and soaring electric vocals that put a new spin on an old favorite.

[4Q Im Manx]

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

I imagine a dark synthscape and soaring electric vocals that put a new spin on an old favorite.
Busted - Air Hostess
Kylie Minogue - cant get you out of my head
NWA- Fuck Da Police....

there will be more

[Sole Silenzioso]

Lasciati - Subsonica
Tutti i miei sbagli - Subsonica
Grace - Jeff Buckley

If he want he could sing also "Il cielo su Torino"(The sky above Turin) always by Subsonica during an Italian gig :D

[mally]

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

Please, no. Not after 'Please Let Me Get What I Want'. :(

[Kodack]

Actually that is a Smiths song, not Joy Division. And I thought it was a great track. :)

Some hotties heard me listening to it in my car and came over and chatted.



Please, no. Not after 'Please Let Me Get What I Want'. :(

[Larsen B]

Flash Gordon by Queen!! :LOL:

[Howrandom]

Ozzy osbourne - shot in the dark
Black sabbath - paranoid
iron maiden - run to the hills

[mally]

Actually that is a Smiths song, not Joy Division. And I thought it was a great track. :)

Some hotties heard me listening to it in my car and came over and chatted.

I know it's a Smiths song. And I thought it was almost as bad as when Bis covered 'The Boy With A Thorn In His Side'.

I meant that I don't want them to attempt to cover tracks by other bands I love.

[bells111]

i would lik 2 hear matt sing R.A.T.M! it would b soooooooo funny!

[Clotho]

jimi hendrix - purple haze
sinatra - witchcraft

[Mickey_Mouse]

"Children of the revolution"- T.Rex :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

[Lucy]

Flash Gordon by Queen!! :LOL:

I must agree! FLASH aaaaaaaaah Saviour of the universe! Matt singing that would be hilarious

[fortunes_fool]

i know its really overdone and they probably already have done for all i know! but smells like teen spirt by nivarna i think matt would really carry it

[oxnoe]

No..i really can't imagine muse playing smells like teen spirit..maybe heart shaped box or sumtin instead.. or why not black hole sun?

[Hayley]

yeah Heart Shaped box...I love that song.

[Kodack]

You have to wonder.."Would Nirvana still be popular today if Curt hadn't died and they kept making music?"

I mean look at Pearl Jam.....I still think 10 was a great album but since they are still around and have declined in popularity (to most people anyway) people look at their later stuff and not what they first loved about the band.

It was nice hearing a PJ track at the end of "Big Fish" though.

I know, kind of off topic but it's been bugging me.

Personally you might add Bach's Fugue in Dminor to that list of cover songs. :) Do you guys remember an album called Bach Busters? It was wendy carlos type of electronic classical music. Good stuff.


No..i really can't imagine muse playing smells like teen spirit..maybe heart shaped box or sumtin instead.. or why not black hole sun?

[oxnoe]

erm..this is pretty stoopid but since my brother is unfortunately a robbie williams fan well there's that song from robbie wiliams i heard today called 'karma killer' and i thought when i heard it that it would sound nice if muse made a cover of it. no? ok no then..

[Kodack]

Your sig is "Audition" right? Freaky movie. I liked it though.



erm..this is pretty stoopid but since my brother is unfortunately a robbie williams fan well there's that song from robbie wiliams i heard today called 'karma killer' and i thought when i heard it that it would sound nice if muse made a cover of it. no? ok no then..

[YellowSphere]

robbie williams is much better than he gets credit for. A lot of his songs are rocky and karma killer is a great song, but i cant see muse doing a cover of it

or, for that matter, of any other song. Muse may have done covers in the past (all of them brilliant, especially can't take my eyes of you, great version), but that was just before they got going
they dont need them anymore, and i think they would rather not

[oxnoe]

Your sig is "Audition" right? Freaky movie. I liked it though.
Audition is one of my very favorite japanese movies!

[Hayley]

They should do keane - Everybody's changing
they could make that sound so much better

[Larsen B]

robbie williams is much better than he gets credit for. A lot of his songs are rocky and karma killer is a great song, but i cant see muse doing a cover of it

they dont need them anymore, and i think they would rather not

its a shame really, they should do them to bump up the b-sides for us fans....it would be a sign of their apparent boldness and musical chivalry, who cares if they butcher them they certainly shouldn't, it never hurt the manics, :LOL:

[CookieMonster]

They shud so do Nelly the Elephant!

[fiona]

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

I imagine a dark synthscape and soaring electric vocals that put a new spin on an old favorite.
yeah, that would be great. But it might make me go and slit my wrists, which wouldnt be quite so great!

You're from texas...im scared and impressed.. :eek:

[JimJims]

Insania!!!!!!
No, really em....Pixies, Debaser, no not really.
This is tough, em, Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix.
And A Day in The Life by the Beatles, that would be funny and scary.

[jimminys_gal]

Flash Gordon by Queen!!
I must agree! FLASH aaaaaaaaah Saviour of the universe! Matt singing that would be hilarious
If there are any aussies here you'll know that on muse hosting rage they picked this song on their playlist, as well as some of the others you have mentioned. And before they played flash matt sang Flash aaaaaaaaah, yay it was sooooooooooo funny! :LOL:
can't take my eyes of you, great version
Ugh... every1 talks about this yet still have not heard it... :'(
Personally I reckon some rad covers would be; REM, Elton John (though they wouldn't wanna screw it up or they'd be crucified, not that they could have have a bad song), the immigration song- led zeppelin (hehe screaming matt) or Tori Amos, I'm not really sure what songs of these ppl but theres my spot!

[Imperium]

id like to see them do

feeling good - nina simone
the smiths - please please please
house of the rising sun - teh animals
andy williams - cant take my eyes off you :)

[jimminys_gal]

id like to see them do
feeling good - nina simone
the smiths - please please please
house of the rising sun - teh animals
andy williams - cant take my eyes off you :)
Please tell me ur joking... :eek: :confused:

[Princess of Everything]

Anything by Spinal Tap! It would be the complete opposite of Muse now, all serious. I would love to see them rock up 'Cups and Cakes' or 'Stonehenge'! 'Big Bottom' would be even better!

Ok, but seriously, maybe something by Leonard Cohen maybe pretty rad.

[killer queen]

.. or why not black hole sun?

I'd go for that one
or maybe something by Led Zep like "the ocean" or "black dog"

[sstarch1]

Am i out of line to say Bohemian Rahpsody by Queen
Spelling?

[killer queen]

I would like something better from Queen, I know Bohemian Rapsody is their most famous one, but they have better stuff like Innuendo or Another one bites the dust... now those I would like..... or maybe I'm just wrong (I can't pick ony 1 or 2 Queen songs!!) :confused:

[Pictures of you WILLY]

red red wine UB40





:)

[Sister Bliss]

red red wine UB40





:)
eeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :eek: hell no!

[oxnoe]

hhmm... i just pictured in my head what matt singing 'hit me baby one more time' would sound like...

[jpsr]

I would like to see them cover the Happy Tree Friends (http://www.happytreefriends.com) theme song :D

[gordon]

I can't be bothered reading all the thread, but my suggestion would be The 5 Colours in Her Hair by McFly.

[lauramuse]

thriller or buddy holly by weezer wud be good, just to see if they could pull it off!personally i'd like to see jane says by jane's addiction, or 'are you gonna be my girl?' by jet!
matt bellamy;-i said a 1 2 3, take my hand and come with me
coz you look so fine that i really wanna make you mine

i can imagine him doing that really cheesily, and winking :confused: :LOL:

[TheInfamousCJ]

I am sure none of you heard of her, but I would have to say Muse would do a killer cover of a song called "Practice" by Cory Sipper. Cory Sipper may be adult alternative. Her songs have quiet longing to them. I feel a Muse cover of that song would give it an urgency which would reinvent the song in a way.

[Serpent_Sky]

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

I imagine a dark synthscape and soaring electric vocals that put a new spin on an old favorite.
They would murder that. Just like they murdered House of the Rising Sun and Please Please Please... :(

Anyway, on subject. I reckon they'd do an interesting version of Xiu Xiu's (http://www.xiuxiu.org) I luv the Valley, Oh! It'd be hilarious. Matt'd have to be slightly more pretentious and inaudible for it to be good though. :p

[oxnoe]

I would like to see them cover the Happy Tree Friends (http://www.happytreefriends.com) theme song :D
matt's voice was made for that! :D

[fortunes_fool]

No..i really can't imagine muse playing smells like teen spirit..maybe heart shaped box or sumtin instead.. or why not black hole sun?

i dunno i think muse doing the corus would be ace.

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Haven't actually heard it, but my friend says Bang, Bang, My Baby Shot Me Down by Frank Sinatra would be the perfect cover.
I have to agree with Flash Gordon though. And a load of other Queen songs... But mainly Flash Gordon. :LOL:

The House of The Rising Sun wasn't THAT bad..

[Kodack]

Have you seen one called Battle Royale? If you liked Audition I think you would like this movie too. It's a clockwork orange meets lord of the flies meets Japanese mind fuck.

Audition is one of my very favorite japanese movies!

[Kodack]

That's weird. I'd be thinking of hanging myself while listening to an Iggy Pop album, but that's already been done.

yeah, that would be great. But it might make me go and slit my wrists, which wouldnt be quite so great!

You're from texas...im scared and impressed.. :eek:

[mally]

They would murder that. Just like they murdered House of the Rising Sun and Please Please Please... :(

Finally, someone with sense. ;)

[BeautifulOtherness]

I never like it when other bands do a cover of what was a really good song. it's like the song's really changed and its weird.
that said, some of Muse's covers are pretty good. Like Feeling Good and Can't Take my Eyes off You. But noone should cover the Smiths. :|
It's like Placebo doing Bigmouth Strikes Again. Brian Molko going all whiney whiney la de da.Meh.

[Serpent_Sky]

It's like Placebo doing Bigmouth Strikes Again. Brian Molko going all whiney whiney la de da.Meh.
That was just seriously wrong.

[oxnoe]

Have you seen one called Battle Royale? If you liked Audition I think you would like this movie too. It's a clockwork orange meets lord of the flies meets Japanese mind fuck.
It's a classic!

she likes surprises - soundgarden

put you down - alice in chains

maybe... woteva

[matt's half brother]

i know dillinger escape plan did this but id love to hear them cover come to daddy by aphex twin :)

[Kodack]

I just can't picture Muse doing Come to Daddy though. Perhaps The Prodigy???

i know dillinger escape plan did this but id love to hear them cover come to daddy by aphex twin :)

[Falling_away]

FIRESTARTER! I think matt has the *ahem* perfect voice for such a classic, and a remake of the video muse stylee! Would be great!! :LOL: :D :LOL: :D :LOL: :D

[Falling_away]

nooooooooooooooooo, actually smack my bitch up! yes! a remake of that video muse stylee now THAT would be great, i think dom should be the whore at the end! :LOL: :D :LOL: :D :LOL: :D :p

[Pictures of you WILLY]

eeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :eek: hell no!

yes why not this is perfectly suited to muse dark neoclassical undertones and is niche to be "quirky" enough for matt. the video could have them in a space rocket adventure, they could get busted up by asteriods and crash into an apocalyptic version of earth, dont you think...matt knows UB40 you know, the drummer of UB40 used to play in a band that supported telstar, matts dads band.

[Pictures of you WILLY]

they should do "creep" :p :p :p :p :p :p

[themadduckequivalent]

Moving - Suede
Charlie Big Potato - Skunk Anansie
Star at Night - The Headless Chickens (his voice would be great for that one)
Sung in a hysterical voice "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a star at night. But even the stars are a fucking mess in a place like this."

[theimpressiveclergyman]

It wouldn't sound all that different and would mean they'd never EVER shake the Radiohead-copyists stigma, but I'd love them to do Nobody Does It Better, which is already a cover...

[wasted_millions]

If they were to go with a Queen song (other than Flash) then I would say Killer Queen. I reckon they could whip up a pretty quirky version... although... it is already!

Other possibilities:

-Eye of the Tiger... why? Cause it's a ripper of a song and I'd love any of my favourite bands to have a crack!
-Tainted Love... might as well... every other band has covered it...mwuhahaha :rolleyes:
-Wake Me Up Before you Go go... actually, no... not the song... they could just remake the clip.. :LOL:

I like the can't take my eyes off you cover... cause it's a song you wouldn't really pick them to do... I'd like them to do another cover like that... hence the wake me up suggestion... mwuahahahhahaaha.

Actually... on a serious suggestion... I'd like them to do something by Smashing Pumpkins.. although, I don't really know how they would alter the songs as much! But I think something like 'Forgive' as a slower song and maybe Cherub Rock as a heavier song would be kinda cool.

[Eternally Missed]

I agree with you... something of SP will be great. Maybe a cover of Disarm?

[Fishwife]

the look of love - ABC
my old mans a dustman
the theme tune from Quincy MI
GOldfinger - Shirley Bassey
video killed the radio star - buggles
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

[killer queen]

I agree with you... something of SP will be great. Maybe a cover of Disarm?

I love Disarm... what about something 'grungier' like The Everlasting Gaze or Zero.... that'd be nice too

[That Little Animal]

I'll stick to the songs I mentioned in similar threads before:

Jaques Brel - ne me quitte pas
Michael Jackson - Earth song <== they just have to do that one
Rolling Stones - Paint it Black
Tiger Lillies - Decline
Beatles - I wanna hold your hand
Maybe the Ghostbusters theme.. that might work actually..

[Eternally Missed]

I love Disarm... what about something 'grungier' like The Everlasting Gaze or Zero.... that'd be nice too

Or Bullet with butterfly wings. It doesn't matter, whatever song by SP would be nice :)

[richie1985]

Queen - Innuendo
The Doors - The end
Echo and the Bunnymen - Killing Moon

[Stardust-Dementia]

Iggy Pop - Gimme Danger
Bowie - Moonage Daydream
Velvet Underground - Heroin
Nina Simone - Wild is the Wind
Dandy Warhols - The Dope


my 2 cents :-)

SD

[Asrai]

Kate Bush - Running up that Hill

Placebo and Tori Amos already have made their versions, now i wanna hear Muse doing it too!!

[wasted_millions]

Fiddy Cent... In Da Club

Just think about it... it would be pretty good... ehem....

*we're gonna party like it's yer birthday*

Word.

[Sloosh]

Ugh... every1 talks about this yet still have not heard it... :'(


i just got hold of it...it came on unexpectedly on the media player shuffle and i nearly melted on the spot. i love it

and it's seriously improved mine and a friend's reputation for weirdness cos we walked into english singing and cancaning along to it, forgetting that since it was on my headphones, no one else could hear.........

ah well.

those that danced were thought mad by those who could not hear the music, an all that.

Raven

[DrunkenFantasia]

Ugh... every1 talks about this yet still have not heard it... :'(


You haven't heard Can't take my eyes off you?????

Here Dude, Live to the full, click this link I have espesh for you! (Or, if u can, right-click and go to save target as and save it on ur comp!)

Can't take my eyes off you - muse mp3 (http://www.altmusic.ru/Online1/Muse_-_Single_-_Cant_Take_My_Eyes_Off_You.mp3)

(See i'm so nice! :) )

Well that's my days good deed, fair thee well!!!!

[killer queen]

Kate Bush - Running up that Hill

Placebo and Tori Amos already have made their versions, now i wanna hear Muse doing it too!!

I totally love the Placebo cover!! IMO it's better than the original song, but yeah Muse could always do even beter than placebo :)

[Brundlefly]

F1-11 Love Missile

Although, on second thoughts, that might be one for The Murderdolls.

[YellowSphere]

Fiddy Cent... In Da Club

Just think about it... it would be pretty good... ehem....

*we're gonna party like it's yer birthday*

Word.

indeed, word!

[oxnoe]

hey! in addition to 'heart shaped box', 'mmm mmm mmm mmm' by crash test dummies would sound perfect performed by muse
just had to add this..

[Sole Silenzioso]

Bang Bang - Nancy Sinatra (Opening song of Kill Bill Vol 1.)

I utterly love this song and it would be wonderful to hear Matt singing it *_*

[Funguy]

They should do keane - Everybody's changing
they could make that sound so much better
I'd love to hear that! if htey had to do a cover then it's that! :)

[~arph]

Sunshine of your love - Clapton

[iljaiya]

IF they ever think of coverin' Queen, here's a list of songs that would suit them (please people don't suggest Bohemian Rhapsody, Matt can't sing that plus Queen couldn't perform it properly themselves - taped operasection - ).

White Queen (as it began)
Nevermore
Seven Seas Of Rhye
Lily Of The Valley
Stone Cold Crazy
DEATH ON TWO LEGS !!!!!!!!!
Flash (hilarious)

[killer queen]

Bang Bang - Nancy Sinatra (Opening song of Kill Bill Vol 1.)

I utterly love this song and it would be wonderful to hear Matt singing it *_*

very good choice...lovely song... I think it would come out to be something like Unintended, lovely

[Hysteric]

how many other covers have they done besides feeling good, cant get my eyes off you and please let me get what i want??

[Butterflies+Hurricanes]

robbie williams is much better than he gets credit for. A lot of his songs are rocky and karma killer is a great song, but i cant see muse doing a cover of it

or, for that matter, of any other song. Muse may have done covers in the past (all of them brilliant, especially can't take my eyes of you, great version), but that was just before they got going
they dont need them anymore, and i think they would rather not


Personaly i think muse would do a great job of ROBBIE WILLIAMS - Road to Mandalay.....what does everyone think?

Here are the lyrics.....

Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say

This sombre song would drain the sun
But it won't shine until it's sung

No water running in the stream
The saddest place we've ever been

Everything I touched was golden
Everything I loved got broken
On the road to Mandalay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way

There's nothing left for you to give
The truth is all that you're left with

Twenty paces then at dawn
We will die and be reborn

I like to sleep beneath the trees
Have the universe at one with me
Look down the barrel of a gun
And feel the Moon replace the Sun

Everything we've ever stolen
Has been lost returned or broken
No more dragons left to slay
Every mistake I've ever made
Has been rehashed and then replayed
As I got lost along the way

Save me from drowning in the sea
Beat me up on the beach
What a lovely holiday
There's nothing funny left to say

.....Cheers

[Butterflies+Hurricanes]

I would like something better from Queen, I know Bohemian Rapsody is their most famous one, but they have better stuff like Innuendo or Another one bites the dust... now those I would like..... or maybe I'm just wrong (I can't pick ony 1 or 2 Queen songs!!) :confused:


Queen "Can't stop me now".....i love this song and matt could definatly pull it off....

[PlugMeInBaby]

i would lik 2 hear matt sing R.A.T.M! it would b soooooooo funny!
yeah!! especially 'guerilla radio'.. that's an awesome song!
I would like muse to do a cover of 'i'm only happy when it rains' (Garbage)
;)

[Muse Mazter]

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven
id love to see Matt have his way with the song, :cool:

[Hysteric]

im sorry but they suck at covers...
feeling good its alright, the only exception, but thats it.

[devotionalee]

El Fary - el torito

or maybe Depeche Mode - A question of time

[g's]

I'd definitely say Queen - Flash :cool: as said above

[satan]

N.E.R.D. - Lapdance

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Or TImberlake's Cry Me a River

HAHAHHAHAHA

[satan]

Hahaha

Nirvana's Rape Me

Radiohead, Street Spirit (Fade Out)

They should do a piss take: cover the Darkness and rip the shit out of them.

[Aziraphale]

They should do a piss take: cover the Darkness and rip the shit out of them.

Now THAT i agree with!!! :D:D:D

[mint]

Janet Kay - Silly Games

[mint]

Now THAT i agree with!!! :D:D:D


:LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Sombody who read these threads and know them please tell them to take the piss out of the darkness

"I belive in a thing called BuuuuuGerryyy"

[mint]

There are far to many obvious songs in this thread Placebo, Radiohead ETC

[burntoutdeadstar]

'Three Days' by Jane's Addiction

(anything by Depeche Mode would be good, too)

[philter]

Madonna Like a Virgin.

[Bassist]

Suprisingly i would rather see them doing something simple- like that stupid white stripes song- seven nation army. Its simple and has lots of room to add stuff and put in your own personal style.

I cant see Matt singing the chorus to heartshaped box...

I want them to do a System of a Down cover- i think that would be cool.

[Bassist]

I also agree with how to be dead, i think a yeah yeah yeahs cover would suit muse well.

[Allure]

Hmm. Here's a few:

Politik - Coldplay
Lullaby - The Cure
Zee Deveel - Incubus
40ft - Franz Ferdinand
Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
#1 Crush - Garbage
Black Star - Radiohead
2 + 2 = 5 - Radiohead
How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead

[Malize]

Hasn't anybody said Star Wars' Imperial March yet??

[Bexie]

They should do a piss take: cover the Darkness and rip the shit out of them.
Thats a great idea!!! :LOL:

*Before I say this I want to apologise to any busted fans (It's got me into trouble before :LOL: *

They should do a busted cover so all the fans would actually hear what real music is, Muse style lol! :happy:

[Splinter]

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei would be fuckin hilarious :LOL: .

[.pinkegoboX.]

there are many radiohead suggestions, but, what about:
creep-radiohead
or
roulette-system of a down
i can imagine it perfectly and they would master it.
and the wailing in creep..i think matts got it covered. :p

[Muscle Mikez]

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei would be fuckin hilarious :LOL: .
whahahah I really agree!!

hmm.. maybe Know your enemy - R.A.T.M (or something else of them)

[Splinter]

Well, I think they would cover Queen very well. Matt has the voice. Who wants to live forever, or of course Bohemian Rhapsody.

[Ril]

nah that would be shit. killer queen would be better.

[Chizzleface]

Rammstein - Feuer Frei, but I don't think Matt's voice can go deep enough...would be hilarious to hear it though!!

[JoBear]

No one is going to know this song, but I would love them to cover This Ain't A Love Song by Gramsci aka Paul McLaney. He's English born, NZ bred...totally dedicated to his music.

Part of the song:
Memories can always be broken
You drag your past behind you I know
Getting heavier each and every morning
But won't let it drag me down

Cos this ain't a love song
This ain't about you
I don't miss you at all
Now that I'm living without you
Just passing time
Nothing between the lines
No, this ain't a love song

Right, I'll wander right off again...

[Bexie]

O-Zone - Dragostea Din Tei would be fuckin hilarious :LOL: .
OMG! :LOL: You are a genious! :happy:

[Bassist]

GOOD POINT... fuck everythign i said before. I think Queen is the perfect band for Muse to cover. any song by them really... that would be awesome! :D

[Erroneous Fiend]

yeah just imagine Bohemian Rhapsody with Matt on piano and Brian May doin the guitar :cool:

[she_had_a_username]

I want them to do a version of the four seasons by Vivaldi. Yes, really. The neo classical sonic rock opera version. I would love to hear them pull that one off.

[Blackened]

two words.

BABYLON ZOO

[Obscuredband]

I think if its going to be Queen its got to be Bicycle.

But how about "How Soon is Now" by The Smiths?

Later
B

[MaCC5]

BABYLON ZOO


You read my mind.

[matt_201uk]

i think they shud do the Timewarp :D

[naughtica]

blue monday would be a bitchin' song to do, i know orgy did a cover of that song, fuck was it ever hot!

[Doog]

here's a few more suggestions... not sure if they'd work or not, but they're just ideas :)

REM - Everybody Hurts
Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows (if only to purge my memory of The Divine Comedy attempting to cover it at V2004...)

[starryrainbows]

i think it would be sooo funnny if muse did a cover of a britney spears song! nit me baby one more time or oops i did it again? oooohhh the choices!!!!!1 :D

[sunburntbliss]

Britney covers? You sick sick puppy...

Would love to seem them cover Bruise Pristine by Placebo... and maybe Happy When it Rains by Garbage as well.

[Obscuredband]

I have a question. Would you rather hear Muse cover Mandy from Barry Manilow, or Barry Manilow cover Hysteria from Muse?

[The Priest God Never Paid]

I would like to see J.S. Bach's "Bist Du Bei Mir" or "Minuet in G" given the Muse treatment. ;)

[Apple]

i think they should do there thing of da milkshake song it would b cool as good night nurse did it was da shiz;)

[Erroneous Fiend]

here's a few more suggestions... not sure if they'd work or not, but they're just ideas :)

Dire Straits - Money For Nothing
ohh i think the telegraph road woul be cooler. i could just see them doing that.

I have a question. Would you rather hear Muse cover Mandy from Barry Manilow, or Barry Manilow cover Hysteria from Muse?

definatley Barry Manilow covering hysteria. how funy would that be.

[aleximo]

jimi hendrix - foxey lady
RATM - sleep now in the fire

[xtrememachineuk]

The Beatles - Yellow Submarine
Rocky Horror Show - The Timewarp
Slipknot - Don't care, just so Dom can wear the mask again! LOL!

[CookieMonster]

Radiohead - Myxamotosis: that'd suit chris for the bass

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris: Rock that up and speed it up wud b cool

Radiohead - Electioneering: I think that one would work really well

[virgin realities]

I don't know why but "love will come through" by Travis. It would be...interesting

[huifung]

What about Smashing Pumpkins? already forget them?
I've been thinking 'Perfect' and 'Eye' of smashing Pumpkins
and also 'Let Down', 'Climbing Up The Walls', 'Optimistic', 'Dollars And cents', 'Where I end And You Begin' by Radiohead
'Take Me Away', 'Hanging By A Moment', 'Sick Cycle Carousel' by Lifehouse
'Big Machine' and 'Here Is Gone' by Goo Goo Dolls

[ADAM]

A nursery rhyme would be great. Imagine 'Twinkle Twinkle little star' or 'Peter Pointer, Peter Pointer, Where are you? ...*GUITAR* Here I am, Here I am How Do You Do!!!!!!!!!'

;-)

[no3chris]

id really liek to see them do THE cover all of time.. enter sandman, that wud be interesting

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

I have a few, I'm an old fart so some of you won't of heard these.

Grace by Jeff Buckley. Lovely song and Matt wouldn't naff it up!

Blue Velvet.....I can't remember the artist that did this one, but I remember it was in a film with Izzabella Rossillinni in. Very haunting melody. Would suit Matt's voice

People are Strange by Echo and the Bunnymen, just for the fun value on that.

Electricity by O.M.D Replacing almost all the synths with guitar!

Entangled by Genesis. If you have ever heard THIS one you'll know why I picked it!

:D

[mint]

How about a thread who should Muse duet with :p

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

Celine Dion so they can beat the crap out of her and throw HER in a skip at the end of a gig.

[Tilbert]

erm..this is pretty stoopid but since my brother is unfortunately a robbie williams fan well there's that song from robbie wiliams i heard today called 'karma killer' and i thought when i heard it that it would sound nice if muse made a cover of it. no? ok no then..

he he, its like one of the only robbie williams songs i like, it would make a wicked cover come to think of it.

[BT'S Muse]

That song is epic, as are Muse

[medulla]

"Something" by George Harrison
Anything from the sixties - I don't know who sings the one I'm thinking of, but it goes "Girl, you really got me going, you got me so i don't know what I'm doing.... You really got me Etc" Was it The Kinks?

And the all time most awesome Muse cover would be
"Nights in White Satin" by the Moody Blues. It's perfect for them! The original makes me shiver...

[blissfullymuse]

Michael~Franz Ferdinand

That would be a classic B-Side :D :LOL:

[blissfullymuse]

Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows (if only to purge my memory of The Divine Comedy attempting to cover it at V2004...)

Haha that was such a laugh...sorry if you liked it but It had me on the floor laughing lol :LOL:

[Zildjian]

Would be great to her them cover the song *Crimson and clover*! But not the original song, no it would be better they cover the coverversion from Joan Jett, couse it´s freaky!
Hope anybody do undeerstand what i´ve try to say.*g*

Or the song *Relaxe* by Franky goes to Hollywood. Yeah thats it!!!

[Kynch]

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

[blissfullymuse]

Stockholm syndrome by Blink 182 :LOL:

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

This town ain't big enough for the both of us. By, SPARKS

It already sounds a bit like Matt's voice but he would do it so much better.

Or All Cried Out, by Alison Moyet but do it PUNK style!
:D

[i_eat_paper_hats]

love machine by girls aloud

....good stuff...

[expanding_universe]

i think it would be sooo funnny if muse did a cover of a britney spears song! nit me baby one more time or oops i did it again? oooohhh the choices!!!!!1 :D

i downloaded a travis acoustic of 'one more time'..haha. funny stuff that is.

muse should do covers of:

silverchair - emotion sickness [killer song, got piano, heavy riffs, kick arse bass, falsetto, great drums, im surprised muse didnt make it first!]

AFI - morningstar [matt could cover all of davey's screaming with his eerie wailing, saw AFI live..muse are better but this song is very muse-ish...if anyone CAN be muse-ish]

radiohead - creep [okay, this is the penultimate muse cover. can you imagine matt wailing 'ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuun' at the end? ahhhhhhh]

[Audioslave Inc]

Rolling Stones - Paint It Black

Queen - Innuendo

[mint]

Any famous band done a cover of a Muse song?

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

Forever Autumn By Justin Heyward!

[Nymphetamine]

I think Muse should cover Motorhead's Ace of spades,that way too Matthew can smash up his face and still never amount to when Lemmy fell off stage and broke his neck!!MAD MEN!! :p

[spiteface]

burning down the house by the talking heads..that would be nice... ;) i think matts voice would put a nic twist on it...

[expanding_universe]

Any famous band done a cover of a Muse song?

i have a cover of plug in baby...vocals are really familiar but i dont know who covered it? its quite good actually!

anyone want it?

[Wink-wink,Nudge-nudge]

Grace by Jeff Buckley, Matt has the voice for it.

[amj]

babylon- david gray( or just about anything off white ladder)

whole lotta love - led zep :D

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

Grace by Jeff Buckley, Matt has the voice for it.
I agree

[Chizzleface]

Take On Me by A-Ha. :LOL:

But seriously, he could probably do a half decent job of it, either that or hunting high and low...would actually be quite good IMHO

[Mr Brown]

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd



I think just the way they'd put it together would be AMAZING.

[expanding_universe]

babylon- david gray( or just about anything off white ladder)

whole lotta love - led zep :D

can you imagine muse covering 'say hello, wave goodbye'...?

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

Take On Me by A-Ha. :LOL:

But seriously, he could probably do a half decent job of it, either that or hunting high and low...would actually be quite good IMHO

I bought that album when it came out, so I have it in vinyl.
I never play it now, I don't have a record player.
Hunting High and Low was probably the best song on there.

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

can you imagine muse covering 'say hello, wave goodbye'...?
:eek:

[Gman]

Tommy the cat by primus

[expanding_universe]

Tommy the cat by primus

oooooh that'd be so guuuuuud.

[mint]

Yeah I think there are a few Pink Floyd songs Muse could do, How about I Am The Walrus by the Beatles?

Or Radiohead - Creep, That song is an athem to me, Says how I have felt

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

I think for a laugh they should do,
Always look on the bright side of life!!!!
:LOL:
Only kidding don't shoot me,
I'm just in a weird mood!

(as usual) ;)

[mint]

no that would be cool as a one off live thing, Like the way Travis ave done Britney as a laugh

[medulla]

How about I Am The Walrus by the Beatles?


Have you heard Jim Carey's version of I am the Walrus? Brilliant!

[Audioslave Inc]

Village People - Macho Man

[Raptor]

some of the first songs they covered... lika Lithium and other nirvana songs... it would be interestung!

[medulla]

Village People - Macho Man
:LOL: :LOL:
What about Mambo No5?

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

Hey macarena!

:LOL: :LOL: :D

[expanding_universe]

some of the first songs they covered... lika Lithium and other nirvana songs... it would be interestung!

didn't they win a battle of the bands competition playing tourettes by nirvana?

[mint]

Am i right in asuming they only did these live?

[meanmary]

see-line woman

[Raptor]

[treefi]

Queen - The Prophet's Song

[kobain]

led zepplin - stairway to heaven.

er.. sorry i didnt see this when i posted my thread.


until im noticed im just a stupid noob.

[The SyndroMe]

The Band : Our Lady Peace
The Song : Whatever

[Kynch]

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

[Nymphetamine]

I'd like Muse to cover Territorial pissings by Nirvana!!

[medulla]

Carole King
"I feel the earth move"

[amused_gem]

I'd like to hear Muse play:

My Way - Frank Sinatra & Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers

but at this stage of their career they no longer need to cover songs to get recognition and they aren't exactly lacking in creativity for new material, also i suspect if they covered a song at this point, they would get ripped to pieces not only by critics but by fans who want new songs :)

[tiago]

Bohemian Rhapsody ---Queen

That would be beatiful!!! :D

Cheers

[expanding_universe]

I'd like Muse to cover Territorial pissings by Nirvana!!

neh..lounge act :D

another awesome cover: across the night - silverchair

[MaCC5]

Stereophonics - Mr. Writer

[mint]

Creep and Radiohead could do Bliss

[steph\m/]

sweet dreams by eurythmics
that wud b kool (spose it might sound abit like endlessly)

[Clunge]

Bohemian Rhapsody ---Queen

That would be beatiful!!! :D

Cheers

Damn - you stole my idea

I think Muse should play 'I am the walrus' by the beatles or 'Anarchy in the UK' b the sex pistols

[dunce]

**thinking**

"do you really wanna hurt me?... do you really wanna make me cry?" and so forth..

he he he :LOL: Funny I know, but I cant help but think it might sound real good :eek: (did I just say that?)

[nooge]

is that by boy george?

[dunce]

sure is! ;)

[yayfortherandomness]

One of two songs:

Plan A : Dandy Warhols

Bonkers, I know, maybe with Chris singing the starting vocals and playing the main riff on bass, and Matt doing the crazy falsetto. I doubt anyone here will know wtf I am going on about.

or...

Everything Will Be Alright : The Killers

Such a totally Muse-y song. When I first heard it I was like "Woah! This is incredible, and so totally Muse!" Not a live piece, don't think, unless Matt recorded the waily guitars and thumped away on that oh-so-cool piano of his.

or maybe both. EWBA is beautiful, and Plan A is just pure gold comedy value :LOL:

[Ironlunged]

I'm all for "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me", but I'd love to hear them do "Skeleton Key" by The Coral. That would be absolutely hysterical.

[mint]

How about Glorious by Andreas Johnson?

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eee’s bringing me in
Turning me on
Making me Glooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorious

[mint]

Thats a great idea!!! :LOL:

*Before I say this I want to apologise to any busted fans (It's got me into trouble before :LOL: *

They should do a busted cover so all the fans would actually hear what real music is, Muse style lol! :happy:

There are Busted fans on this forum :confused:

[Jupiter_Moonchild]

There are Busted fans on this forum :confused:
Scary isn't it!?

Don't kill me for this but I think Purple Rain
could do with a Muse make-over.
Have you ever heard that song all the way to the end?
Made me cry first time I heard it!
Muse could do it just for a giggle while out their
faces on red wine and jelly babies!

[mariska]

My sister made me listen to a song from Oomph! yesterday. I don't know the name of the song, I think it's a bonustrack, so it's not mentioned. It's the only English song on the album. I didn't like the way they performed it, but I'd really like to hear a Muse-version. Are there any people out here who know which song I mean?

[RadioBread]

anything by queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and maybe keane just 4 a laugh lol

[isobel]

Haven't read all the replies so I don't know what has already been said, but I think a cover of Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" might be interesting, and maybe David Bowie's "Life on Mars?"

[TheElvenRosie]

How about Glorious by Andreas Johnson?

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eee’s bringing me in
Turning me on
Making me Glooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorious

Oooh, yes. That would be a good one... :happy:

Or, "Oh What a World", by Rufus Wainright, may be interesting. (I think I spelled that wrong...)

[leetroot]

i've got you ... under my skin

[morgan]

how about white wedding - billy idol?
I thought that'd be cool if it was museifyed :)

[Kid_Thunder]

"Cheeky Flamenco" by the Cheeky Girls?

[Flux]

"Jealous -reverse-" by Dir En Grey although it's in japanese lol. It's a beautiful piano song.

[Bliss100]

Nirvana-Lithium :p

[Saaz]

Nirvana-Lithium :p
Thats quite a good one.
Or even Heart Shaped Box.

[lloyd-o]

bohemian rhapsody

[MissPinkEgo]

Love will tear us apart - Joy Division

I imagine a dark synthscape and soaring electric vocals that put a new spin on an old favorite.



I'd have to say Toxic by Britney Spears, or Sound of the Underground by Girls Aloud.

seriously...

[yayfortherandomness]

i could imagine that.

hahahahahahahhahahahhahaha "you're toxic i'm slipping undahhhhhhhhh!"

[missmuse]

Rolling Stones - Paint It Black



fuck yes.

Under the Bridge - RHCP could be really good.

[missmuse]

One of two songs:

:eek: ahhhhhhhh i love that song so much! they would do a really good job on that really, replace the synths with some waily guitar bits, add some rolling bass... i can see it sort of being muscle museum-ish but less angsty? although i must say i never thought it was muse-y in the first place.

as for Grace, that would be excellent. but i think Lilac Wine could be interesting...

Keane's Somewhere Only We Know... or the Darkness 'Get Your Hands Off My Woman' just for shits and giggles :P

sorry i realise i am multiple posting, i just keep finding intersting ideas and i have to comment :D

ditto for loving the song. and ditto for the darkness. or maybe "A Thing Called Love" for an almighty pisstake and 2-finger salute to the shitemeisters

[MondoMan]

Knowing MUSE, it'll be something off the wall from Bob Dylan or Tom Waitts. Either way, i'm sure they'll turn up the adrenaline to the max.

[Queen Elmo]

Raining Men- The Weather Girls
Faith- George Michael
Karma Cameleon- Boy george

Some nice gay songs for you there for dommy lad.

[MissPinkEgo]

i could imagine that.

hahahahahahahhahahahhahaha "you're toxic i'm slipping undahhhhhhhhh!"


They could do Shiver by Coldplay or Sting's Every Breath you Take and dedicate it all the Matt groupies out there....

:eek:

[missmuse]

okay i have heard conflicting rumours about this and im extremely confused. he is gay then? sorry this if probably a supremely retarded question to ask :$ but i really amn't sure and it's bothering me.

[Ness]

I'm pretty sure that he's straight :)

[the_way_it_is]

fuck yes.

Under the Bridge - RHCP could be really good.


ur so right it woudl be fucking good

or paint it black rolling stones

[The Nargmaster]

Dazed and confused - led Zepplin

[Clunge]

that YMCA song, or the fast food rockers song.

On a serious note, I would like to see them cover tangerine by led zeppelin to see what matt's acoustic skills are like or yours is no disgrace by yes to test all of them

[Saaz]

Rar.



You heard.

[Queen Elmo]

Year 3000- Busted
Lets get ready to rumble- Pj and Duncan (aka. Ant and Dec)
Like a virgin- Madonna

....It would make me laugh. That is the reason.

[Hazel]

im sorry but they suck at covers...
feeling good its alright, the only exception, but thats it.
Alright?! Feeling Good is a fantastic version - its right up there with my faves out of all Muse tracks. :D

I'd kinda like to hear Matt screaming out Light My Fire by The Doors - if only to eradicate any lasting memory of the easy listening shite version that Will Young did. *shudders*

[Hazel]

ur so right it woudl be fucking good

or paint it black rolling stones Ah, I can almost hear it now... and it rocks!
:cool:

[Takeo]

Actually that is a Smiths song, not Joy Division. And I thought it was a great track. :)

Some hotties heard me listening to it in my car and came over and chatted.

well if that avatr is you i doubt that ;)

[alextheguitardude]

Muse - Hyper Music
Muse - Citizen Erased
Muse - Dead Star
Muse - Tiro

...the endless list...

[Reedus]

Beastie Boys - Sabotage

[*]

STOCKHOLM SYNDROMMMMMEEEEEEE!
citizen erased and butterflies & hurricanes

You want them to cover their own songs?

[Louise F]

You want them to cover their own songs?

haha.

[missmuse]

Beastie Boys - Sabotage

:LOL: that would be spectacular. that or triple trouble.

[Canuxfan44]

hmm theres a few... i dunno if matt could pull of some of these vocals though, just cause of the ridiculous nature of the people that sing em already

Rx Bandits - Decrescendo
Refused - Refused Are Fucking Dead
Refused - New Noise
The Mars Volta - Televators
Bright Eyes - Ariennette

ahh. if they were to cover ANY of those songs i would practically die.

[Charlie_85]

sorry i didnt really read the title properly, and since the person before put muse songs too, and so, i thought it said which muse songs would you like to do a cover of!! hehe! DUR!
In this case...take on me!! haha NOT!

[Canuxfan44]

take on me!! haha NOT!

that would be absolute and utter insanity. hahaha

[bucephalus()]

Six (album version) - Mansun

[Charlie_85]

how about hanson...mmmBOP!!! haha! that would be funny!
No?? ok, i really don't think they should cover any songs, id rather them do their own. I didnt like 'cant take my eyes off you', but 'House of rising sun' was ok, much prefer their songs though!!

[mint]

How about Hold Me, Thill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me By U2?

[bucephalus()]

How about Hold Me, Thill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me By U2?


the words "Hell" and "Yes" spring to mind

[Argeiphontes]

How about Hold Me, Thill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me By U2?

woohoo!!! Yes, I think that would be brilliant.

And about the Take On Me idea, I think that would be a pretty cool idea. Of course Muse's version would be a more rock cover, unlike A1 who covered it and made it even more poppy than Aha originally had it.
That said, Stereophonics new song starts of sounding like the A1 version of Take On Me.

[Mr._Enlightened]

Wild thing

[pluggedinbaby]

Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall

[fabien]

They should cover some Queen stuff. Like Bohemian Rhapsody. Could be quite good.
