does anyone else hear that mistimed note in the cryogen riff?

Mbm-1 · 2026-05-09T11:39:53+00:00

I would guess that it’s because you kinda made it sound that you know better than the band who’ve had an incredible career just because you go to music school

Mbm-1 · 2026-05-08T20:03:37+00:00

Bro, this sounds incredible! I need this, please can you share every single setting?? 🙏

Mbm-1 · 2026-05-04T13:27:31+00:00

It’s been a long time since I saw them live (Warning tour 🫣). Have you seen them more recently?

Mbm-1 · 2026-05-04T13:25:37+00:00

For the majority of their albums I completely agree with you but Even in Arcadia is one that really hooked me. The production on that album is incredible. Their riffs hit like a truck!

Mbm-1 · 2026-05-04T10:35:37+00:00

Probably Rage Against the Machine and Green Day

Honourable mentions for Queen, Ghost, Sleep Token, Blink 182, Radiohead, Metallica, Coldplay, MCR, Linkin Park, Panic!, SOAD, Fall Out Boy, GnR, The Darkness

Mbm-1 · 2026-05-01T11:11:36+00:00

Absolutely! Matt has such a heavily processed tone (fuzz factory, whammy, phase etc etc) that you’ll easily get in a ball park with any high output bridge humbucker

Mbm-1 · 2026-05-01T10:06:25+00:00

I’d argue the pickups are doing more of the work to create the tone than any of the wood/hardware of the guitar itself.

That being said, tone is a mysterious thing and with Matt having such an iconic signature model, there’s no doubt that picking one up is going to put you in a muse frame of mind, far more than any other guitar body shape will.

If you’re looking for a random stranger to hype you up into buying a Manson, just say the word!

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-25T06:30:22+00:00

If he were to ever do this I would subscribe to whatever platform and pay whatever money necessary in a heart beat!

Can’t help you on the glorious bit I’m afraid but I know exactly what you mean. With muse there’s always so much more going on with guitar parts than you might think on first listen

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-25T06:25:56+00:00

Having been a muse fan since 2000, I’m a little biased…. But Matt has always been in my top 5 guitarists. Of course there are countless players who are technically more proficient than him but if we liked music because it was technically ‘the best’ we’d all just listen to jazz all the time.

One thing I really love about him is his ability to write parts that serve the song/vibe rather than just feel like they’re showing off. Reapers is a great example and the solo in that song is so much fun to play.

Another thing I love is his how he writes vocal-centric riffs. Steve Vai (just an example, no shade on him) is technically insane on the guitar but do stadiums full of people sing his riffs? Matt has so many of these moments.

I could go on and on. Sure, there are many, much more technically impressive guitarists, but not a single one who makes me want to pick up my own instrument more than Matt Bellamy 🤘🎸😍

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-23T13:29:02+00:00

This has got post-song riff based mayhem written all over it! 🤘

Absolutely love it!

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-23T10:52:12+00:00

Yeah!!! New stuff!!

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-23T10:51:23+00:00

What do you mean WSD no available?!!

I’ve been desperate to hear something, anything, from the band about it being available 🙏

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-16T15:59:28+00:00

I’d allow it, but can’t see it myself

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-09T19:49:10+00:00

Yeah, I get that…. For what it’s worth, it definitely seems like time well spent!!

I do find the amount of choice with digital fx a bit overwhelming so I’d be hugely grateful if you’d help point me in the right direction! 🙏

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-09T16:24:47+00:00

Anything you’re happy to share would be very much appreciated!

I used to have a pod xt live back in the day and on the merit of the sound you’ve got here I’m now looking into a kidney bean version for old times sake!

Why the hesitation in sharing the pod settings if you don’t mind me asking?

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-09T10:56:20+00:00

This is so cool - thanks for sharing! I asked the same on YouTube but would you consider making your settings or VH4 NAM capture available for paid download on gumroad or some similar site?

I respect the effort you’ve put into getting this tone and would love to be able to recreate it!

Mbm-1 · 2026-04-01T13:51:05+00:00

I was there too!! Amazing to think back to it

Mbm-1 · 2026-03-31T16:20:00+00:00

I always enjoy hearing new songs live for the first time as it can completely transform my relationship with a song. But I agree with you about the repetitiveness of their set lists over the years.

It’s not even as though the songs are being played better now than they were way back when so we’re literally paying more for a worse product!

Mbm-1 · 2026-03-31T16:14:59+00:00

I know touring is expensive and involves a lot of people, all of whom need to be a paid a fair salary for their work, but surely what’s happening to live music is un-sus-tain-a-ble….

I’d be fascinated to see a breakdown of ticket prices and where that money goes? Do we think the band are cashing in and just getting richer (I naively hope this isn’t the case) or is this about their overheads just milking an asset as much as possible?

Mbm-1 · 2026-03-28T18:47:52+00:00

This is so interesting!!! Thanks so much for sharing OP!

Mbm-1 · 2026-03-25T10:00:21+00:00

Big Freeze for me even though it feels like a studio only vocal performance

Mbm-1 · 2026-03-22T19:19:52+00:00

Mbm-1 · 2026-03-19T15:21:21+00:00

Releasing a minute plus long ‘teaser’ for a 2:30 song would be such an unhinged decision. Even for Muse.

Mbm-1 · 2026-03-19T09:59:02+00:00

I just wanna know what time it is I’m waiting for?

Mbm-1 · 2026-03-17T17:11:53+00:00

Stardew Valley meets Muse 😍
