Listen to this new song by Muse - United States of Eurasia, from the forthcoming album "The Resistance": link I'm myself a huge Muse fan really looking forward to this album. This song is filled with Queen influence all over it. Enjoy!! |

love it,don't you think this is the kind of thing that should have been on 'cosmos rocks',certainly bri & rog shouldnt be shy of releasing stuff that sounds like this,they are queen after all! |

maybe you're right Andy, but I'd say this Muse song sounds like, let's say, the "Freddie" Queen side ... Brian and Roger are capable to carry on with the harmonies and stuff, but as songwriters they wouldn't come with something in a similar style, musically speaking ..... I wish they prove I'm wrong in a near future, though !! |

Well, I meant Freddie's "operatic" side ! when he wanted to rock, he could for sure: Ogre Battle, Princes Of the Universe, The Hitman ... |

The song has definitely got some Queenish things going on. 1:17 sounds a bit like the tension building up to the "We Are The Champions" chorus. Also, one of the lyrics was "There can be only one." I thought that was interesting, but then again they're just words. |

It's just some parts,, very little parts,, who have a Queen stile! |

A couple of operatic harmonies is not enough to make it Queen like. The intro is more Imagine than Bohemian Rhapsody. And there are huge swathes of Ravel's Bolero later on. |

Remember Bo Rhap or Innuendo ... in this Muse song, the operatic harmonies, the Imagine intro and later on the Ravel's Bolero parts ... it's this mixture of styles what naturally makes me compare this song to Queen. Of course, I don't have hopes of changing your mind, it's only my opinion :) |

Muse is a great band. I think they are the best band in the world right now. They are heavily influenced by Queen and this song prove it. |

Wish I had a 1000 posts or more... I could be an ass hole to and get away with it |

If you watch this clip on youtube, you will notice heaps of people have noted that it sounds Queen like..for what ever obvious reasons, why challenge what the general public think when they here something that unlike us, are not extremely passionate towards. |

There are some very obvious Queen-esque passages in there indeed! (See my post count??!! I've been here for over nine freakin years! - I'm a major cunt! ;-) LOVE the Muse btw! |
