I heard one really funny on radio. Unknown Icelandic band covered Muscle Museum with Icelandic lyrics.

They played it real good, but lyrics and singings sucked.

I heard a proper school band do hypermusic and it was shite...I laughed :D

I`m hoping to go to a friends battle of the bands gig soon...apparently some nonces always have a crack at it....expect multiple terrible PIB renditions :D

A local band called The Knights played TIRO and In Your World at a gig a while ago. They were pretty good actually, the music was spot on. But whenever there was a high note the singer did a low note :rolleyes:
They did a Sex pistols cover that owned the band they were supporting.

The semi-finalist of French Pop Idol sings B&H during his gigs

No. I was just considering the bands I have seen and how miserable most of them would be at doing a Muse cover.

Heard an unsigned band start their set with Muscle Museum, and part wa through their second play PiB. They weren't bad. The singer had a good falsetto and decent range.

Listend to the New Born cover from the XFM Rock Shcool thing... diabolicle. *shudders*

Yup, I have to agree on that, most of the bands who covered Muse tracks were awful, but hey they're young so I'll give them credit for effort.

Here's the link for the competition XFM held for those who want to listen and laugh at some of the entries:

My favs have to be (non-Muse covers btw) The Exes ‘Phantom Of The Opera’ and Ye Olde Fighting Cocks 'Seven Nation Army' . I've never laughed so hard in my life :D

The first gig had the best Mosh. The Offspring fans know how to do a good mosh and circle pit.
Blink mosh sucked. And there were too many crowd surges in the Muse mosh, plus everyone was jumping at different times, totaly out of sync and dodgy.

Hey I´m from Iceland and I know what your talking about... I´ve got this cover on my computer... This was actuly made for some song competition where they had to do a cover song but the lyrics had to be Icelandic...:P

I´ve really never heard a good muse cover... and to be honest, I think that my band is the best I´ve heard:D
Oh yeah, Sigþór Árnason, right? I think i have that one somewhere.

I thought it was actually pretty good :happy: except for the "than you will ever give" part.

Just listened to Plug In Baby. :( I had the volume right down cause I didn't want anyone to be wondering what the hell I was listening to, but I swear that there was consistently a wrong note in the riff.

Sure, they're young (at least I'm assuming they're younger than I am), but why not do a song that you can play right? That would impress me more.

My friend really wants to play New Born, which could be cool, the only thing is I don't think I can make the solo sound any good, unless I make something up myself. But I think we'd be okay for vocals, even though we'd have to have a female, cause two new girls came this year who are apparently first class singers.

At Battle of the Bands last summer, the final band did TIRO. The band sounded pretty good except the bass didn't have that synth tone. And the singer was awful. Couldn't hit the high notes.

Ruby Gloom

07-05-2007, 03:32 PM

thats bad. if your going to play a muse song u hav to have the right drummer, the right bass player and a singer who can hit high notes and low notes and also a gr8 guitar player!!

At my high school's football games (american football), the school band plays TiRO when our team is losing and there is only a minute left in the game. I don't know whether to be happy that i'm hearing muse in a place i normally wouldn't here it, or if i should be upset that they are bastardizing one of my favorite songs.

a friends band at freefest (annual music event for local bands that loughborough uni puts on) yesterday did a cover of TIRO, they were a little bit crap, but when they asked i said it was ok. I'm hoping to stumble across some muse loving freshers next year and get a band going, id love to do a cover of butterflies and hurricanes at the next freefest. Classical piano solo out of no where....nobody would see it coming :ninja: .........unless they knew the song.....i suppose :rolleyes:

If you cover a Muse song, you have to rock out as much as you can and play it according to your strengths.

The idea isnt to create a carbon copy of the original.

ive only heard covers off musclemuse.com and microcuts.net,in my school once they did a cover newborn,it was shit,the guitarist/singer,stood still for the whole song playing,didnt jump or move

he's a school pupil, not a highly paid musician who has had years of experience.

A few months late responding to this but the thread's been bumped.

I'm sure they've mentioned playing a Muse song live, even though it might not be SS. Dream Theater are Muse fans apparently.
