Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

Those big-riffin' guitar manglers Muse have been paid tribute to by a bunch of cello-wielding classical types. Really.

The String Quartet Tribute To Muse is available in the States, like, now. It includes Radio 3-friendly takes on 'Muscle Museum', 'Stockholm Syndrome' and 'Sunburn'. And some more. Check it out here.

Whatever next? Play-along piano renditions of Keane tracks? Oh, no, wait...

That picture of Bellamy makes me think "Please stop".

Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

That's not the best picture.

You sure it's not just a standard Rachmaninov/Bach playing string quartet looking to make a few extra sales?

not the best classical tribute to a rock band iv heard ... sounded like it needed more instruments or something.

Kasbian played by the Berlin Symphony orchestra, in your town soon!

What amuses me most is the 'original composition' tacked on the end. D'you reckon it's written "in the style of Muse"? If I was Matt Bellemy, I'd cover it as a laff..

Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

Oh gods.....
Wonder if Matthew actually knows....well he probably will now....

Looking at that picture, I was thinking:

"Do you want it, sir? Do you? OOH! OOH! Suits you, sir!"

But that's just me.

Why is it that DiS intentionally choose the worst pictures at time?
I can hardly bare to look at it.
It's also available at Amazon.co.uk.

Re: Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

It is an awesome picture - he is OWNING that guitar.
"You're my fuckin' wife now, beyatch."
Do it Bellamy, DO IT. Teach it who's boss!
YEAH.

Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
I'll remember that.....

Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

That's had me in hysterics, if my boss weren't in the room, I'd be on the floor.

Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

Okay...he's gone out of the room.

I love Muse. I like classical. I don't like that.

It just lacks something. I was expecting a violin to rip into the opening riff in the audio sample but alas, I was disappointed.

Well "Plug in Baby" was about his guitar.

Has anyone heard Muse covering Dracula Mountain by Lightning Bolt at about 2 miles an hour? Nasty.

The classical Weezer album was pretty funny. What I heard of it, anyway.

Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

who the hell would want to cover muse? Well i would, in flaming napalm. Guitar-wank your way out of that one bellamy.

Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

Exscuse me Bling?

Re: Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

"The Tallywood Strings willingly give themselves over to the hysteria of Muse’s over-the-top songs and commit completely to the task of transforming them into compelling and fresh string reinterpretations."

Hmmm...I'm not convinced. Tallywood Strings...your time is running out. In your world, I'd check the map of your head, read the small print, make sure I'm not suffering from sunburn and pray for absolution. You're not cut out for a life in showbiz, I'm afraid. Which is bliss for the rest of us.

Re: Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

now that's just wrong.

Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

Muse covered Lightning Bolt????

god help us....

Pomp gets classical: Muse get covered

i suppose it doesn't help that these are the same goons who 'famously' covered OK Computer and Kid A by the 'Head.

threat

you'll take a screwdriver in the eye for that one...the bellamy will be avenged...!
