The Muse/Non-Muse Cover Thread

[panikstacey]

Not sure if shamelessly or not but all I wanted to try is to remake a Muse song in fully (instrumental obvs) besides trying to make it sound like all piano. I changed FL Studio from 10 to 12 so I had to do something new and here's what I made:

No shamelessness in a thread where you have to promote your own covers

The arpeggio's aren't quite right though - but it's okay. Sounds a bit too MIDI to me though, so maybe you can try to use some different sounds or virtual instruments.

Lulzies, all I wanted to do is sharpen that instrumental until it sounds even if not 100% satisfactory to me, at least 97% somewhat. Thanks for the tip btw :P

Have a look at some distortion pedals and try some out, because audacity is definitely not the best when it comes to distorting sounds.

Hello and sorry for the late reply. Thanks I try to do my best. I know it's a bit out of time, like half of a second, I will try to do it better next time. I used Audacity yes but I did not distorted the sound with the software but with my amp. I just used Audacity to improve the sound a bit, put the backing track...

What pedal do you people recommend? I would like to buy the fuzz factory but it's quite expensive (around 200€) and I think I will buy a MXR Distortion + (60-80€) What do you think about this pedal?

Ahh, Micro Cuts. The death of bassists like me, who are bad with accenting notes. Gotta say tho, the fuzz is pretty sweet imo :3

As a Muse fan and as a OoS fan, I've recreated Screenager live at Eurockeennes in 2002 this is the video.... what do you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvhgIs_bces

Kudos for not playing that with the delay as Chris does. I'd recommend to learn how to play very close to the strings at even volumes, so whenever you need the accents you can cheat a bit by moving them out a bit further allowing some more velocity to hit the strings harder.

I'm not too 'fuzzed' about the fuzz, I think that mostly came Matt, Chris using more animato instead.

Thanks! And yeh, I know Chris used the Animato, I just love using a bit thicker distortion, it's much better for my own taste

And for the thing with ghost notes, that's what I've actually tried to learn, but it's coming slow as I'm playing with a pick most of the time. Thanks for the tip anyway :3

Hello everyone! I'm Hadi from Lebanon / Dubai and this is my first post here. Huge Muse fan so I did a stripped down piano / vocal cover of 'Apocalypse Please'.

Check it out here:

Hope you enjoy it!

I know I fell off time a couple of times(most noticable after the 2nd chorus), but I'd say this is still pretty good. What do you guys think of the tone? I know it's not P&C, but I'd say it's pretty good for a fuzz

Can you people tell me all the songs that include a Piano? I am not sure if I miss some.

I can play: Sunburn, Isolated System, New Born Intro, I belong to you (not the french part), Neutron Star Collision, Survival, Mercy, Eurasia... I have to learn the Globalist. Any more songs?

Thanks in advance.

I already know Apocalypse Please, Feeling Good and Resistance is quite easy, just a few notes. I forgot to put this ones. Thanks for the others I will try B&H and Animals Also CE Outro. (Starlight also have a piano part btw)

Hey, I've never posted here before, but I guess I finally should!

I make one-man band covers, generally half of them are Muse and the other half are various other artists. I kind of like those two:




I'm also about to release Mercy very soon. The Unintended cover is two years old, so it's not of much quality (it was my first ever cover). What do you think? Hope I'm not met with a negative response
