The Horrifying Experience Of Not Knowing How To Play Drums And Needing To Use Programmed Drums.

The horrifying experience of not knowing how to play drums and needing to use programmed drums.

The vibe is just off idk.

I do know how to play New Born, but my piano is acoustic, so wouldn't take a sustainer pedal even if I have one. Still worth learning though.

Had a little look at Sunburn and Explorers, not looked at Supremacy yet though!

I feel like b&h is really hard but idk, as I say piano is not my first instrument so I'm probably a poor judge of difficulty.

I remember trying Space Dementia when I was like 17 or so and couldn't hack it, so I wish you the best of luck!

I've decided to learn Ruled by Secrecy on piano. Piano is my weakest instrument so I want to do some more practice and learn some more.

If anyone has any (muse) recs on what to learn that'd be great! I can already play exogenesis part 3 and I reckon with some solid practice I'll have Ruled by Secrecy in a couple weeks or so.

wish i had some lads to make a band with

There are ZERO good backing tracks for Reapers what have I done to deserve this.

For the ask game: 1, 10, 38 and 57 :))

What's your favourite live performance?

Honestly for a band that's been going for 30 years this is an INSANE question. From the ones I've seen online, I've always enjoyed Astoria in 2000 and ofc HAARP. Of Muse gigs that I've actually been to it's gotta be WOTP, if for no other reason than they did Resistance.

10. Favourite non-studio lyrics (demos, live additions, etc.)

Difficult one, probably a tie between 'just like a virgin blows' in live versions of Sunburn, or 'give me complete control' in the Hysteria demo.

38. Favourite Muse instrumental to play?

Not sure if this means actual instrumentals (songs with no lyrics) or just the instrumental part of songs. I'm gonna answer the latter because I don't actually know how to play any of the instrumentals.

Guitar: Reapers or New Born

Bass: TIRO or Cave (not quite got it but made a solid start).

Piano: Ruled by Secrecy (again not done yet but really enjoying it so far).

Voice: HOODOO!!! Glorious and I Belong to You (+Mon Coeur S'Ouvre a Voix).

57. Favourite music video?

Euphoria or Sunburn.

Thank you so much!!!!

So, I'm thinking about going back to music school (again, lol) and so I went for an open day yesterday. Met one of the song writing teachers, who was absolutely lovely, really funny and made me feel like song writing was definitely the best path for me to go down.

He then noticed I was wearing a Muse t shirt and said 'can I tell you a story about Muse?' and I was like 'oh God are they secretly pricks or something?' and he said no. What he DID do was GO ON A MINI UK TOUR WITH MUSE IN 1999?!?!?!? Some of the best gigs from that period were Muse SUPPORTING this guy's band. He also mentioned that he played Reading and Leeds when I said one of my goals was to play Reading and Leeds.

Apparently Matt was very shy, but also very nice, and Chris and Dom were nice too and very happy to be in a band (and were fans of a surprisingly pop-y band that I can't remember now).

Also when I said I feel that I relate a lot to Matt he said 'I'm sure he relates a lot to you too'. Excuse me????
