The 'Muse Should Cover A Queen Song' thread

[Beepee]

They should cover a Queen song. Mainly because Muse are the only band that could get away with it in this day and age. I'm thinking Flash Gordon or maybe Bicycle, but any other opinions?

[Cerpin]

The Prophet`s Song or March of the Black Queen.

[sned]

'Good old fahioned lover boy' or maybe 'Killer Queen' like Travis did on Re:Covered.

:p

[PlugMeInBaby]

I would like Muse to do a cover of 'bohemian Rapsody' 'cause it's such a great song :)

[Lucy]

I would like Muse to do a cover of 'bohemian Rapsody' 'cause it's such a great song :)

Yea but that could be a bad thing because they could slaughter it.

[richie1985]

wow deffinately the prophet song! and innuendo!

[Matthew]

Electric Six played Radio Ga Ga yesterday :D :D :D

Muse couldn't fucking pull it off

[Megalomaniac]

Fat Bottomed Girls :)

[EGM]

Fat Bottomed Girls :)

Matt singing Fat bottomed girls, can you think of it?
Maybe we will we will rock you, since that what they do....

[theimpressiveclergyman]

Fat Bottomed Girls :)

Yes, yes, thrice yes. Thought NME were just talking crap. However, it could be perfect.

[The Erased Citizen]

I think a cover of Innuendo would be absolutely awesome. It suits em down to the ground - sombre and epic!

[Asphyxiated]

If they did the bicycle song I would laugh

[cookie]

who wants to live forever is a bit musey

[allzpalz]

'Good old fahioned lover boy' or maybe 'Killer Queen' like Travis did on Re:Covered.

:p

My thoughts EXACTLY, except, when I was thinking my post out, they were in reversed order. I meant to suggest it at the Canadian signing, but I was a leeelte star struck :P

[wasted_millions]

Hmmm....*rubs chin while rummaging through Queen collection*

I reckon perhaps I Want It All, form the Miracle album. It's suitably bratty sounding.... :D

Or perhaps a take on A Kinda Magic would be entertaining...

Oh the possibilities!

[Mort]

Oh come on. The obvious one is I wanna Break Free. Including a remake of the video!

[NewBornSyndrome]

i admit muse could do a very good queen cover but i hope they don't, i hate bands who cover queen, there are just some bands you don't touch and queen are one of them.

but i can imagine matt singing fat bottomed girls.

[itstentotwelve]

yeah bicycle- i want to ride my BI-cy-CLE

not bohemian rhapsody- they'll just destroy it

another one bites the dust- bam bam!

[sned]

'Good old fahioned lover boy' or maybe 'Killer Queen' like Travis did on Re:Covered.

hurray! someone quoted me! makes a chance
:D

[jimminys_gal]

Just thought Id add that matt did a cute little rendition of flash gordon! he he! Kinda off topic but does ne 1 else that has the queen live at wembley dvd think that falling away with you sounds kinda like a queen song, ignoring the chorus? I dunno why it just kinda has a love of my life/is this the world we created/brian may sound to it! Maybe I'm nuts....???

[itstentotwelve]

^^^^^^^^^^^hahahaha on rage right????

i loved his 'ahhhh' falsetto bit

[jimminys_gal]

Twas great, it really was thou brother, ugh just watched clockwork orange...
He did suit flash! No way should ne1 ever do bohemian rhapsody, even the fantsastic muse, better than queen, could not do it right and noone wants to be remembered for butchering a classic, eg. madonna-american pie etc. *vomits in a bucket*

[Brundlefly]

I've realised what they should cover actually. Ultravox's Vienna.

[Glamey Glamay]

The Prophet's song would be very cool...
But I'd love to see them do My fairy King or The Seven Seas of Rhye...
('n do sum crazy Microcuts singing)
The Show must go on would be a a musey song...na it's too deep..
Try Death on 2 legs

[maybee]

uhm... killer queen.
and what about love of my life?

[Funguy]

BO RAP! gotta be bo rap! love to here that!

[Funguy]

Oh come on. The obvious one is I wanna Break Free. Including a remake of the video! that would be a great thing as well!

[sned]

what about 'i want it all'?

quite musey :cool:

[The Erased Citizen]

The Show must go on would be a a musey song...na it's too deep..

MUSE are a deep band...aren't they? :confused: I would've thought The Show Must Go On or Innuendo would be ideal.

[Brundlefly]

"The feeling is gone, only you and I, it means nothing to me, this means nothing to me, oh Vienna!"
I'm right, its just a matter of waiting for everyone else to catch up.

[Velouria]

"The feeling is gone, only you and I, it means nothing to me, this means nothing to me, oh Vienna!"
I'm right, its just a matter of waiting for everyone else to catch up.

It would be pretty good, though they'd be hard pressed to beat Vic Reeves' cover. ;)

I'd quite like them to cover Duran Durans "Planet Earth" myself.

As for the Queen song, it's got to be "Don't Stop Me Now".

[Lady Soss]

I would like Muse to do a cover of 'bohemian Rapsody' 'cause it's such a great song :)


Yes!Yes!They should it would be amazing.

[Celtic Rose]

Don't stop me now, in a really slow, dirty slutty kinda way..... ;)

[Daqtanian]

For me it would have to be be
hammer to fall or
Who wants to live forever or
Show must go on.


"Who waaaaaaaants to live foreeeeeeeeeeverrrrrrrr"



.

[Daqtanian]

Show must go on lyrics

Empty spaces - what are we living for
Abandoned places - I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for...
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The show must go on,
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on.
Whatever happens, I’ll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I’m learning, I must be warmer now
I’ll soon be turning, round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I’m aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on
My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly - my friends
The show must go on
The show must go on
I’ll face it with a grin
I’m never giving in
On - with the show -
I’ll top the bill, I’ll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the -
On with the show -
The show must go on...


Dark...very dark

[bellz luva]

i saw 'we will rock you' recently (for anyone not in the know - it's a musical production dedecated to queen)..annyway, i really, really loved all the songs. n if matt loves queen as much as he sez he does, then muse should deffinatly cover one of their song, don't ask me which one, but queen are pretty cool..

[itstentotwelve]

i saw that too

my family and i couldn't stop singing the songs on our way out of the carpark

(we had queen in the car)

[~Hayles~]

Yes, yes, thrice yes. Thought NME were just talking crap. However, it could be perfect.
Queen are 1 of da best bands ever! i hav all der albums!! whoooooooooooooooooooh

[Teh Man v1.2]

we are the champions..no doubt about it

[Fux]

Death On Two Legs :cool:

[Doog]

maybe he likes queen so much that he doesn't want to do a cover because he's worried he might not do it justice?

[Plug in baby doll]

I think a cover of Innuendo would be absolutely awesome. It suits em down to the ground - sombre and epic!

Yep innuendo would be great it is one of the best queen songs and is very epic. I think they would pull it off

[Caff]

Innuendo would be good.

However,

Dear Muse,

Please don't touch a Queen track with a baregpole. PLEASE GOD NO!

[Fux]

Innuendo would be good.

However,

Dear Muse,

Please don't touch a Queen track with a baregpole. PLEASE GOD NO!

Although I did make a suggestion, I do agree...coz Queen r lyk, u knoe...dere sakrosankt man! hehe

[the_real_jimmy_kane]

Love to see them do The March Of The Black Queen. :D

[Celtic Rose]

Princes of the Universe, I think thats the right name......

[Chablar]

I want it all :p
Thats such a good song and muse would do a pretty good version of it

[Twinny2]

I'm not really sure
but if they did cover one it would have to be Killer Queen:D

[E-Mused]

I think Bohemian Rhapsody would turn out good.

Maybe We Are The Champions

Hammer To Fall

[Juuso]

Bicycle Race, if anything.

Now shush, the truth has been spoken. ;)

[Ross]

they shouldn't as covers usually are worse than the original and queen are awful and overrated

[the electric monk]

bring back leroy brown

:p

that would be hilarious...

[Judderman]

i disagree, i really don't think muse would do a good job of a queen song.

[pubicmage]

The Prophet`s Song or March of the Black Queen.

They would ruin both. Especially the former.

I don't think Matt's voice would suit a Queen song at all.

[Hobo]

bring back leroy brown

:p

that would be hilarious...
Oh that'd be brilliant. :LOL: It's a hell of a funky song is that. :yesey:

[pubicmage]

they shouldn't as covers usually are worse than the original and queen are awful and overrated

Clearly you haven't heard the early albums!

[Judderman]

they shouldn't as covers usually are worse than the original and queen are awful and overrated

that is actually what i was trying to say... when i said something else. but generally my point is muse should not cover queen. muse would not do it well because queen are a bit crap. and muse need good songs to cover.

[Judderman]

Clearly you haven't heard the early albums!

clearly you havent heard queen. - in general they are darn overated.

[pubicmage]

clearly you havent heard queen. - in general they are darn overated.

Yes, I have heard them. I find that a lot of their songs are awfully overlooked in comparison to their singles.

[Ross]

Clearly you haven't heard the early albums!

I was brought up with them, my dad was a huge queen fan. I can't remember names anymore, but I've grown to despise them

[Lynzi]

They should do we will rock you! :p

[the electric monk]

my god, you guys have absolutely no taste whatsoever. listen to their 70s albums - everything from queen to jazz - PARTICULARLY queenII/sheer heart attack/night at the opera/news of the world, which are my favourites - and i DEFY you to still state that they are "crap and overrated". fact is they were one of the most brilliant bands of the 70s, and one of the greatest bands of all time.

i also think matt's voice would be eminently suited to "lap of the gods" - just imagine...
"i can seeeee whaaaat yooooou waant me to beeeeee..... but i'm no fool...."

that would kick ass!!

[Niall]

Pah. Queen's too obvious. Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush.

Imagine it. See.

[Ross]

Pah. Queen's too shit. Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush.

Imagine it. See.

fixed

[Degrassi41]

The Bicycle Song because it would make me laugh.

[the electric monk]

fixed

if you weren't a bowie fan i would hate you ;)

long live davey jones!!

(no, not the monkees guy)

[Enemy]

Agreed. 70s Queen = complete genius.
I'd like them to do Lap of the Gods revisited too.

[In Muse World]

BOHEMIAN RAPHSODY

maybe "love kills" would be great with an instrumental like "take a bow" :p

[mr.jingles]

I mentioned this in another thread but it would be fuckin' sweet if at the Wembley show Muse covered 'Princes Of The Universe' and then switch to 'Knights Of Cydonia'.

[Caff]

I'm sure I said it earlier in this thread but...

Innuendo x1834597569769677

It's got Muse written all over it! I played it to a friend once and one of the first comments was "Muse could cover this".

[Morinphen]

Ogre Battle.Or Love Of My Life (which sounds a bit like "Unintended" to me,by the way)

[spidersue]

I think maybe the show must go on, its a hard life, in fact I think they would do quite an interesting twist on any Queen song, and could pull it off with style I am sure, although Freddie/Queen are a hard act to follow, but it would be well interesting if they did, and a challenge, There is a influence of Freddie coming through Matt's vocals, I can hear it esp in his harmonies, so DO IT!

[Lynzi]

Whatever they cover its bound to be miles fuckin better than that Five one:indiff:

[Speedster]

BOHEMAIN RHAPSODY.

matt has vocals for it.

or maybe I want to break free

[Stecloud]

Breakthru, or Who Wants to Live Forver. :yesey:

[david_icke]

Bicycle race ;)

[jl3angel]

...okaaayy this is weird. last night I had a thought: Muse should totally do a Queen tribute at Wembley and cover a song.THE WHOLE OF WEMBLEY SINGING WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!!!..that would be soooo fucking amazingly great. Then I saw this thread. hmmm....musers having the same brain waves/frequencies (sp?).....:stunned: Muse have secretly been brainwashing us with their music - so they can send us messages (e.g.covering a queen song would be a good idea, the government is taking over lets attack, the zetas are coming!!!!:eek::eek::eek:....DUM,DUM..DUUUMMM.....

[WutDaFucksy]

i recommend princes of the universe! coz they r!

[FallAway]

Has anyone seen the video Muse when they were introducing the Flash Gordon music video on Rage and Matt goes "Flash...ahhhhh!"

So I think it would be a kick.

[sarahrebecca]

Bicycle race ;)

ya, they should totally cover that song! or bohemain raphsody

[andrew1900]

killer queen would be interesting...

[AFX Twiiin!]

all of queen's back catalog of songs including the b-sides:yesey:

[BootlessEleanor]

actually,Queen should do a Muse cover.....not the other way around!!!!!!:LOL::LOL:

[NCWP]

I hope they won't cover Queen. Muse couldn't do it as good as Queen, aswell as nobody can do a good cover of Muse. Although 'Feeling Good' is an excellent song, but mainly because they made it their own...On second thought, maybe they could cover Queen if they made it 100 % 'Muse-like'?

[VladieShark]

I Want To Break Free, without a doubt. First off, the band obviously likes playing the song (they've done the instrumental live many times). Second, it would be perfect for Matt's voice.

[Chaz]

To all those that have mentioned Bohemian Rhapsody... I completely disagree. Everything about Queen as a band was poured into the heart of that song, no other band could capture that. And to be fair, for that reason, I don't think even Muse could pull off a better version.

I'd like to see them have a bash at THE SHOW MUST GO ON. Muse-like in alot of ways, imo.

Chaz

[Greta Garbo Superga]

I Want To Break Free, without a doubt. First off, the band obviously likes playing the song (they've done the instrumental live many times). Second, it would be perfect for Matt's voice.

+1
but they should also cover the video!!! I'd kill to see Matt cleaning the house, Dom cooking and Chris reading a newspaper all dressed up like women!!

I had the same thought some weeks ago!!! and optimism should definetly be a religion!;)

[ghostsinsnow_x]

I say Flash.
That would be funny :]

[Bomber Harris]

I still stand by Brighton Rock. My favourite Queen song is Somebody To Love, but I don't think Matt could do it anywhere near as well as Freddie. Sorry :( As mentioned in the other thread, Innuendo would be cool too. Maybe My Melancholy Blue from the News Of The World album would be cool, with Matt bluesing away on the piano :D

[Yrathir]

Hammer to Fall would be a great, great, great cover :)

[Hopix]

who wants to live forever is a bit musey

Actually know you mention it. It suits Matt's voice well.

And the invisible man would be hilarious!!!

Imagine Matt singing that!! "I'm the invisible man ooo"

lmao!

[Richard Misiak]

I'd love to hear matt play the guitar part of 'I want it all'

[DwightKSchrute]

Sorry to bump the thread, but I really think they should do Is this the world we created? :D

[Jazzthief]

It would be like covering Radiohead.

[Tim59]

Radio Gaga would be awesome. Throw in some Muse synths and modernise it a bit, and it would be amazing.

[Bells]

or maybe Bicycle

This would be hilarious! But no.

[Rusty Shackleford]

It would be like covering Radiohead.

Jesus my posts were retarded back then.

[Chagi]

Jesus my posts were retarded back then.

Yes. Back then.

[Sippe]

Yes. Back then.
Certainly not these days.

[Hopix]

Yes. Back then.

Certainly not these days.

I can always rely on you guys, ;)

[DwightKSchrute]

Or what about Body Language? God that would be hilarious! :LOL::LOL::LOL:

[Alec.]

Innuendo. Maybe not an obvious choice, but it would be awesome. Reimagined as a heavy-but-accessible industrial track, with the acoustic solo on piano (or a Chris slap solo?) and the electric part as a Morelloesque thrashout. Done.

[imaginary friend]

I know I'm late to this thread, but has anyone suggested "It's Late"?
