Muse's blueprint was basically Radiohead's first two albums with a significant dose of Queen's A Night At The Opera, so this actually completes the cycle
@@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000 regardless, "super distorted" doesn't necessarily mean it uses a distortion pedal, a fuzz also has a "super distorted" sound
You know, this completely changes the vibe of the song. It's like... less emo? More upbeat? But still kinda dreamlike? The Radiohead version gives me "I'll never be special like you," but this version gives me "You make me believe that I could be special, too." Also, bro, you can't end a song this intense and then move immediately into the promo copy. You gotta give the audience a second to breathe.
@@Ariel_is_a_dreamerhe’s a creep in a charismatic and relatable way that draws me in makes me feel warm and cosy. i don’t particularly like radiohead, and the song feels cold and isolating, whereas this sounds like an embrace.
@@Jaro___ On their two last albums I can only remember Blockades and Euphoria having arpeggios (there might be more I just don't remember). And those songs kind of feel like.... fan service, if that makes sense ? "Let's make a song that will please the old Muse crowd, so... arpeggios". Or maybe I'm just an old person with rose tinted glasses. Probably a bit of both. (Edit : I realise I seem to describe a "screwed if you do, screwed if you don't" type of situation. What I meant is that personnaly, I preferred when the arpeggios felt more organic to their sound and not forced, as if they were thinking that they *had to* feature arpeggios in songs designed to remenisce of their old work).
When I was in the pit in indoor drumline, our instructor listened to muse a lot and would rip the arpeggio sound from them and put it into our songs lol It sounded dope. EDIT: I just realized some people might think I'm talking about sampling, no, he would write it into our parts.
@@ocyocyocy I kinda feel like they share more similarity on sheet music than in recording, as mostly when it comes to production they take very different routes/ flavors. Where MUSE truly likes the theatrical stadium rock, radiohead prefers a more intimate arthouse approach. Both very much enjoy more complexity and experimentation with implementing prog tropes in a more accessible format. Both being British bands further strengthens similarities as they draw from similar traditions. I think for example that songs like 15-step and animals have a surprisingly similar style when looking at them purely from a songwriting perspective (songs 5 years apart), however muse pushes animals into politics and theatrics whereas 15-step flirts with a more intimate jazz.
And before anyone wants to be a smartass about 15-step and Animals having very different signatures, 15/16 as in 15-step is basically 5/4 in swing, so there's that
You'd be surprised how people AND the press (especially) used to make comparisons between these two bands back in the very early 2000's stating how "similar they sounded" and lumping them in the same "vein" of new british groups along with Travis and Coldplay lol
I'm amazed not only by the technicality, but also by the way he understands and perfectly captures the bands' styles. I'm really impressed. Well done, it sounds fantastic, man.
@@AlbertStokinI never considered Muse or Radiohead to be similar to Jeff Buckley. But Muse was definitely influenced by Radiohead. Three of my favourite acts of all time.
Muse is my favourite band. Radiohead is up there pretty high, with Creep being my introduction to them. This is simply perfection 💕 I can't stop listening to it!
I had this face the entire time :0 It's perfect ~ It also makes Creep sound more cathartic and fantastical, like it's taking place in a space-faring musical. I think that gives a lot of legs to lyrics that can easily sound too self-pitying in the original rendition of the song.
I've been more and more perplexed by the quality of out-of-genre covers of songs people have been able to put out. Your content started my obsession with these covers, and this is by far and hands down the most SPOT ON cover of a song in the style of and in general that I've heard in my life. You give the song the meaning it was meant to have. This is Sound of Silence covered by Disturbed level perfection. Goosebumps. Kudos.
I'm a long time/part time musician myself and I can only say that I truly respect your work and energy that you put in every single project. The way you get close to the styles and vocals of each musician is just out of this world. You always seem to respect the source material but still know how to give it your own twist, keep up the amazing work. Hope to see you live one day, in Amsterdam that is!
Man, I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this version and I dare say it's better than the original. Mostly because Muse's sound satisfies my ears much more than Radiohead's. What you did is absolutely incredible!
You can tell this guy loves classic Muse, he included a reference to each Muse era on this cover - The palm-muted guitars in the prechorus from Absolution - The Queen-like vocal harmonies from The Resistance - The arena rock drum sound from Drones - The super high falsetto + belted high note from The 2nd Law in the bride (think Madness) - The arpeggiated synth from Origin of Symmetry (think Bliss) - The high piano notes on the background of the verses from Showbiz
Best memory of a Muse concert: me and another really short girl finding each other and being helped out of the pit by very tall guys making a walkway for us. Edit: sorry just reminded me.
I have a really strange request: Happy (Pharrell Williams) in the style of Queens of the Stone Age. Idk why, but it’s such an odd idea it might actually work.
The ending of the bridge, when you went back to the original melody and continued all the way through to the end reminded me of The Cure's cover of Creep.
I hate Radiohead, I hate the song Creep, I hate Muse. And here is Anthony, up and taking all sources I hate and makes something great out of it. That's how I know Anthony has the Goods! 🤘👏👏
When I was in college I knew a guy who hated Muse because his favorite band was Radiohead and, I quote, "Muse ripped off Radiohead and they aren't emotionally honest with their lyrcs" Dumbest shit I've ever heard
I’ve always hated the muse Radiohead comparisons. As fans of them both, and with Muse being my favourite band, they sound nothing alike. Sure Thom and Matt have similar singing styles, but that’s about as far as the comparisons go.
Time is Creeping Out
Creep Museum.
LMAO 🤣
I played Time is running out in a drum exam. This Creep is so on point as Muse 😂
The Creeps of Cydonia
Will Of The Creep
Now we need a Muse song in the style of Radiohead to complete the cycle.
Radiohead are too diverse imo, it's hard to pick a single style to mimic
@@alcedob.5850 true; you'd have to do it as a "in the style of Radiohead's (insert song here)"
Muse's blueprint was basically Radiohead's first two albums with a significant dose of Queen's A Night At The Opera, so this actually completes the cycle
I support this
That would be the entire pre-Absolution catalog
That super distorted bass is such an integral part of the Muse sound. And your vocals were spot on!
Not distortion,its Fuzz
@@GREG_Khar-NÜ-Metalhead2000 , no, buddy. There's distortion in the signal too. Fuzz isn't responsible for all of that.

It makes sense, Muse's aesthetic is already like upbeat numetal Radiohead
The clean language version makes fucking sense now :)
OP calling Radiohead emo like 💀
I'm always astounded by your ability to mimic another bands sound so flawlessly.
Bellamy's very audible breaths and vocal cracks coming out of notes, even...the details omg so good
Those arpeggiated keys... Wish Muse didn't forget this was such an integral part of their sound.
Just adds to that ethereal feeling
They still use them...

Every time Anthony covers Muse, I go back and listen to more Muse. Undisclosed Desires will always be iconic.
Other than Survival, what other covers has he done of Muse? My fav band.
You absolutely dug into Absolution and Black Holes and Revelations for this. And you NAILED IT!!!!
and maybe just a sprinkle of Space Dementia
Time is Running Out too, I feel
@@froggouk2yes I assume he talked about the whole album absolution
Radiohead in the style of Muse? That's like the crossing the streams of rock n' roll. You absolute madman.
They're actually very similar

This is how I'd imagine Muse would make this cover. Well done.
very amusing cover
I see what you did there!
A muse ing
I don't know, kinda creepy
Thank you.
Muse and Radiohead consistently fight for 1st place in my heart and this was the *perfect* combo of the two.
Muse in their early days (Album Showbiz) was actually very similar to Radiohead.
Well done again!👏🔥
It was very similar to Jeff Buckley, and Radiohead it was too similar to Jeff too. So that where the comparison was made.
Showbiz and origin of symmetry are my two favourites ❤
With a "garage punk" thing that was lost in the following albums. I've always secretly wished a new hit that smashed me as live New born did.
@@AlbertStokinI never considered Muse or Radiohead to be similar to Jeff Buckley. But Muse was definitely influenced by Radiohead.
Three of my favourite acts of all time.
@@nerissarowan8119excuse my ignorance, who's Jeff? 😂
how to sound like them, while not letting it get in the way and yet make point on arrangements that make it work so flawlessly... what a lesson
It is funny how you really see the influence of Queen in Muse style 🤗
It’s the layered multi tracked harmonies, you can almost hear Roger Taylor.
Their album The Resistance has a lot influences from Queen
If you look closely at 1:10 you can see exactly the moment when Matt Bellamy's spirit possesses his body
Haha, so true! Brilliant 😂
Matt: "Stop making it sound like I'm dead"
Ron: "Sometimes I can still hear his voice..."
@@HHog oh no he's not dead, he just has the innate ability to astral project himself into other people at will because he's Matt Bellamy
This one felt like it was straight from super massive blackhole album
lmao I thought this sound like their last album (Will Of The People)
Until Anthony hit the spacey outro
This has notes (no pun intended) of Blackholes and Revelations, Resistance, The Second Law and Absolution IMO.
I think it sounds a bit like Muse 🤔
@@mateusbmedeiros chorus from Stockholm Syndrome
Blackholes and Revelations**
Everything about this was bang on! The vocals were pure Matt Bellamy 👍
Those unexpected key changes... Chef's kiss.
Dear God, man. You NAILED Matt's lyrics. incredible.
creep + muse + ANTHONY = perfection ♥️
creep+ muse+ ANTHONY=AUDISLAVE?
Muse would almost certainly do the pre chorus pick scratches 💀
if they in origin of symmetry era. then yes absolutely
Dude! Those vocals were off the chart. Totally nailed his style whilst sounding unique 🙌🏻
That was an anthology of Muses style through the ages, and was so accurate it was almost a caricature at points. Loved it 👏
Muse is my favourite band. Radiohead is up there pretty high, with Creep being my introduction to them. This is simply perfection 💕 I can't stop listening to it!
My introduction to muse was Ruled By Secrecy
This is so 2001-2006 MUSE style, like a fusión of those albums... Good job man :]
The way you rework the chord progressions is really impressive!
I needed that for so long. Thanks so much
Yooo this sounds incredible! Sounds like something straight off of Black Holes and Revelations.
You nailed Matt Bellamy's tone and especially that use of falsetto. Spot on!
This made me love both Muse and Radiohead even more.
Amazing!
That Synth part in the end of the song is EPIC!
Wow. If every Radiohead song was done in the style of Muse, I'd listen to them.
You even nailed that inhale and overextend that they do, which I imagine was crucial to making it sound like Muse. Super great cover.
This has to be the most epic cover of this song I've ever heard. It needs to be in the trailer for a major movie about super heroes in space.
I had this face the entire time :0
It's perfect ~ It also makes Creep sound more cathartic and fantastical, like it's taking place in a space-faring musical. I think that gives a lot of legs to lyrics that can easily sound too self-pitying in the original rendition of the song.
You nailed it man keep it up maybe queen version for creep next.
Radiohead and Muse are my top 2 FAVORITE bands. You did an amazing job!!!!!
You have Matt Bellamys vocals down to a tee!!
With Radiohead being one of my favourite groups, that was awesome!! 🤘
Definitely time for a full
Welcome to the Jungle in the style of James Brown
or
Psychosocial in the style of The Cure
"Psychosocial in the style of The Cure" 🤣 Absolutely insane!
holyyyy psychosocial in the style of the cure would be WILD
man i have no words to say how awesome this work
its absolutely incredible amazing and outstanding cover
I don't think you've ever nailed a cover more than this one, god damn!!
His blinding lights in the style of Depeche Mode cover was crazy spot on too, go listen you’ll love it 🖤🖤

THANK YOU!!! I've always said that Muse are what Radiohead would sound like if they weren't crap!/if they were done right. :D
I love both bands and what I really like here is that it sounds like Muse from the Showbiz/Origin of Symmetry era, my favorite. Thanks! Goosebumps!

I only discovered Muse last year and your channel today. You are a genius!!
Been a Radiohead fan for over 4 years
As someone that moved on from Radiohead for years and slotted in Muse as they were a bit heavier,this is so good. Ty.
You remembered me because Muse is my favorite band, and because I'm so in love with their music
Man, I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this version and I dare say it's better than the original. Mostly because Muse's sound satisfies my ears much more than Radiohead's. What you did is absolutely incredible!
Ok this guy is not human! This was one of the best covers of Creep I’ve ever heard
This is the goldest of gold.
You can tell this guy loves classic Muse, he included a reference to each Muse era on this cover
- The palm-muted guitars in the prechorus from Absolution
- The Queen-like vocal harmonies from The Resistance

- The arpeggiated synth from Origin of Symmetry (think Bliss)
- The high piano notes on the background of the verses from Showbiz
Dude that was epic, I'm clapping like the "Shia Labeouf in a Theatre clapping" meme.
The arpeggiated synth chords are so accurate for muse songs!
Reminds me of bliss.
Dude.... You nailed it! Amazing!
Exactly that! 🎉
So much work goes into each one of theses.
I listened to this on Spotify earlier today, and it gave me goosebumps, what an incredible cover!
You and Andre Antunes are dominating the style of Muse covers scene.
I really liked your deftones version of this too
Omg man you just nailed that!
The last 30 seconds especially, just extraordinary
HOLY F*CK!
JESUS BROTHER,That was an absolute masterpiece!
The overplayed Creep that I always loved but was tired of listening to... Gave me goosebumps again!
The sparse breakdown chorus outro was so damn spot on i just gave up and my brain said this was always a myse song, sorry Radiohead
Man, that's probably the best Muse song I've ever heard! Awesomely done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love both bands
Muse really had something with this sound. I feel like lately I've been scratching that old Muse itch more from UA-cam covers than their new releases.
MUSE needs to cover this song on their tours
Simply beautiful.
Best memory of a Muse concert: me and another really short girl finding each other and being helped out of the pit by very tall guys making a walkway for us.
Edit: sorry just reminded me.
@@charlottegrace6656 wholesome.
Muse has done covers before, I am surprised they haven't done Creep, but it would probably sound exactly like this.
They’re super tired of being compared to Radiohead and they don’t seem to get along either, so that’s never gonna happen.
Christ on a bike. I got goosebumps full force just afer the halfway mark.
As a fan of both muse and Radiohead, I was a little unsure before I heard this- but mate, you absolutely nailed it!
Well done lad. 👏👏👏👏
Incredible creative talent.
The original is one of my top 5 songs of all time, and man… YOU KILLED IT! THIS IS AWESOME! ❤ please release this to purchase on iTunes!!!! 👍🏻
I have a really strange request: Happy (Pharrell Williams) in the style of Queens of the Stone Age. Idk why, but it’s such an odd idea it might actually work.
Wow you nailed it! More Muse than Muse itself 😱
at minute 2:24 it's very epic😂
Some part could've been change a little bit but That ending is perfectly Muse-ified 🔥👏👏🔥
FUCK YEAH
I wish Anthony Vincent was the main singer of Muse. He nailed Bellamy’s style but has a much more developed voice. I had a blast listening to this!
2:50 I actually started to tear up a little these vocals are so powerful
The ending of the bridge, when you went back to the original melody and continued all the way through to the end reminded me of The Cure's cover of Creep.
Damn, this hits everything Anthony.
Wooooow Anthony you REALLY but REALLY nailed that
Muse could have 100 percent wrote that song 😅
Radiohead didn't even 100% write that song.
(Albert Hammond & Mike Hazlewood who wrote "The Air that I Breathe" by The Hollies get partial credits)
@@kbreslin7289 Erm actually 🤓👆
You are incredible. 👏👏👏
