Muse DLC. Period.

So us Europeans get some "exclusive" tracks, only for the US to have them as downloadable content? Saw that coming, but to get them BEFORE we do?

Are they having a fcuking laugh?

Is it that big of a deal? We get the tracks, you get the tracks.

Shouldn't everyone be happy?

Plus, we have to pay extra for them, whereas you get them for free.

Would you rather just not have any DLC available next week because we would need to get the EU bonus tracks then if we hadn't gotten them this week.

What I'm trying to get across is we've had to wait half a year longer than you guys, and pay almost twice as much. Us getting those tracks seemed like some sort of "apology" for taking so damn long to release it over here.

Then they go and let you have the tracks! So the only thing we get a benefit of is not having to pay a few pennies for them. Then you lot have them before we do! Hardly "exclusive", is it?

I'd be quite content with that.

They let us have the tracks so that we could actually play online with you guys and be able to select those songs. We pay extra for the songs, while you don't, why the hell does it matter when we get them, as long as we both get them? Seriously, quit whining.

I believe he means not having any of the tracks from the past DLC library.

It's quite different from that.

Trust me, if the shoe was on the other foot so to speak there'd be an upraw. That's just about the DLC. God, if you had to wait 6 months later than everyone else I think WWIII would break out!

Yeah, I play keyboards, but I only have a small one that I use through my computer on GarageBand. I learn by ear, so I only play half-assed piano.

Any other guitarists in here? I've been trying to learn some Muse songs, but they are actually more difficult than I had expected. Most songs sound so simple, but are really hard. Likewise, the hard-sounding songs are difficult, like "Stockholm Syndrome". "Hysteria" is a ***** to play the solo for me. "Plug in Baby" is just crazy. I can play "New Born", but not the triplets. I can't play galloping songs like that, so I just play the first note.

Also, "Knights of Cydonia" is extremely easy to play. It's an amazing song, though.

You know, that's pretty funny because I can play Plug in Baby like nothing. Knights on the other hand...it slays me. I'm horrible at tremolo picking. I don't know if the picks I use or to thick, but I get about three strums before my pick goes flying across the room. And I've been playing for almost seven years now.

I guess that just proves the different strokes for different folks theory!

Man! Lots of drama since I've been gone! Hooray for haters! Anyway, here's my late responses!

Ok, here is something I don't think we have done yet:

List your favorite drum part from a Muse song. I have a nice freshly baked batch of delicious cookes (I sampled one, just to be sure), and one can be yours if you are one of the first 5 people to post your favorite part.

Hysteria and Eternally Missed have killer drum tracks imo. I love that "chugging" kind of drumming. I also (of course) really like Knights of Cydonia as Dom just goes nuts during the fills. And I really like the drums on Bliss, especially on the intro when everythign comes in at the same time. I like how the drums mimic the guitar part. Oh yea and the Intro on Absolution has is great as well. The ominous, marching sound really sets the mood for how epic the album will be.

Dom is a fantastic drummer. He places second (behind Ronnie Vannucci Jr of the Killers - who I
watched twirl his right stick while one handing intro to Mr. Brightside).

Hey man, you forgot Mitch Mitchell from The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Neil Peart of Rush, and Keith Moon from The Who!

p.s. 112 posts out of 211 are here for me. That's 53%

Please, please, please let us not break out into a Europe Vs. America/Canada fight? They're just silly.
I would have been fine with waiting another week, but getting them this week is pretty cool. It's not hurting anyone; some people are just being stuck-up, is all.
In a couple weeks, the European tracks are going to be just like any other DLC track; people will be happy, people will be unhappy, and most likely the same people are going to have the top leaderboard scores. It's really not worth making a fuss over.

Anyway, back to what we love to talk about here: Muse, and other vaguely related topics.

@ Vicious136: I guess those particular drum tracks went under the radar for me, but now that you mention it, they are pretty awesome.

I've been learning to play Falling Away With You on the guitar. It's a lot of fun, but I always enjoyed that kind of picking-type thing.

I guess I'm a little late for this, but eh.
Some days I'm good at tremolo picking, and some days I completely suck. Yesterday was one of those days; I was playing through New Born and I got to the solo and my pick kept turning and tripping and flying a couple feet across the bed.

Is their lead singer a man or a woman? I honestly couldn't figure it out.

It's a "boy".

Honestly, you have no idea what's going on with this band and their fans in Germany... it's terrible. Just like their music.
