I was listening to this and my three-year old son said from the other room, "Please excuse my ignorance Father but do my ears deceive me or is that musical composition some sort of agglomerate of famous musical groups Muse and Metallica?" So nice job.
This man lives in the woodshed. Expertise like this in vocal, piano, guitar, bass and no idea about drums takes a lot of work. Props. I was in his Patreon until my account was on the verge of overdraft.
AI is being built to satisfy the desires of the people with the most money, tasteless swine that were so focused on the grind that they never developed a taste beyond the most basic and bland. And they promote AI as if it were being trained to satisfy the rich developed tastes of artists and connoisseurs. As long as AI is controlled and developed by capitalists, it will always be lacking. The scary thing is how quickly it can produce bland dreck and replace a culture's memes with a flood of grey goo.
This might be the best "in the style of" video I have seen in my life. I hear sooo many licks and little things of Muse in this, while you still manage to keep it Metallica. Amazing. I rarely comment, but for this I make an exception. 10/10
Indeed! The depth of his understanding for their tendencies and sound choices is evident. Wow. He really captured their 2003 sound even going as far as including a nod to ruled by secrecy in the piano part! Wow!!
Well, for one, you can hear the bass so it can't be Metallica, lol. Muses guitars have a very distinct tone to my ears and he is absolutely nailing that tone here.
Just imagine Muse closing a set with this and inviting Andre on stage to play with them. Matt is aware of him and has shared his other videos on Instagram... Let's make it happen!
Snippets from Muse that I've noticed in the song. 0:00 Hysteria (Intro) - The bass 0:34 Thoughts Of A Dying Atheist - The guitar 2:14 Feeling Good - Voice/Megaphone 2:50 The Handler - The guitar 3:43 Psycho (Outro) - Voice 6:04 Psycho (Outro) - Voice 6:30 The Handler (Solo) - The guitar 7:39 Hysteria - The bass 8:26 The Handler - The guitar
This is really an arrangement I would add to my playlist. Proof that not only do Mettalica compose some truly fantastic compositions, but the ability for arrangements like these to really shine. Certainly they are not one trick ponies, and Muse really is another recognizable musical force that could be seen just as impressive all brought together by this performance from the mind of a student of music. Simply awesome!❤
As someone who loves muse but grew up listening to metalica, when they get to the chorus "obey your master" it really hit me that this is a muse/metallica hybrid and not more of one style than the other. edit: w0rds, english hard
@@bikeshop2002 I'm with you on that one. the piano bit cought my attentio in a "less than perfect" way as well. But the rest is just through the roof. big time.
I was like "Where's the Bellamy falsetto?" At 2:50 - that's where it is. I also never appreciated how similar the breakdowns are between Master of Puppets and Knights of Cydonia. Knights of Puppets? Awesome. Instant subscribe.
@@robertdouble559 Absolutely The Most Epic Thing I could Dream Of, In Big Day Out 2004, When Muse and Metallica Played in the Festival, They Meet, and There's Some videos on Internet of Metallica Listening to Muse on the background during the gig live, Like James was Rocking Hard to Muse, Big Day Out, Australia 2004.
If only we could get to see a reaction from the members of both bands, that would be epic. In my opinion, Andre deserves an honorable mention by those guys.
I still wish this had gone a lot more viral. The algorithm is obviously rigged. New stuff gets a lot of feed view. Many hit content providers get throttled after a certain point.
This is, without a doubt, the single greatest interpretation of this song ever. The style is dead on Muse - the guitar, vocals, bass - it's uncanny how well done this is. Bravo maestro Andre, this is an absolute masterpiece.
The Feeling Good megaphone made me lol. Haven’t seen anyone hit Muses style so perfectly as this. Guitar is probably more advanced than Matt would ever play. But the style of it is SO bang on. The falsettos are literally him too.
I'm not prone to hyperbole and I have a critical eye on covers of both Metallica and Muse (two of my all time favorite bands) but in this case, you are 100% dead on. It achieves a level of balance between the two bands that is impeccable.
I’m so glad this made it to my explore page a year later. So much of how this song was executed was because you got the little details of what makes Muse, Muse. You were dialed in on this, it fulfilled a fantasy in my head I never knew existed. What would it be like, if Muse covered Metallica. Sublime
Nah, come on. This is Muse, and you're just playing along, right? It's Muse. It has to be Muse. I mean, there's no way one guy can so perfectly capture the entire sound of a groundbreaking artist like that, right? This is just **ridiculously** well done.
I would think this was Muse if I heard it on the radio EXCEPT the timbre of this singers voice is a bit darker and heavier than the guy from Muse... That's just nature though, he totally nailed the vocal style and the instrumental as well.
this is definitely expertly done, but i think a lot of it has to do with being able to hit the 'tones' and the 'cadence' that muse tends to play with. forward driven, very even spacing between notes in the bass lines, outside of melodic sections, with that 'fuzz' is really what makes the muse songs.
I know that both bands are fans of each other, so I hope they both see this legendary effort. It really gives "Master of Puppets" that Matt Bellamy big government conspiracy paranoia* feel.
As a bassist, I only wish we had MORE video of your bass skills! "Slap like now!" For real though, at this point, I am convinced Muse wrote this song for Metallica before travelling back in time, in a Delorian, presenting it to them.
Наконец !!!! хоть кто то делает красивые каверы Металлики, представляю какой это тяжелый труд, обычно дай Бог если хватает ума просто перепевают Металлику, дай Бог здоровья этому парню и творческих успехов!
This is the perfect example of just how much impact, a bands style has on songs. An absolute masterpiece! This is the most Muse'iest Muse I have ever heard.
I think if Muse tried to cover 'tallica, it would sound less muse than this. This is absolutely genius. Every opportunity you got to add muse songwriting conventions you took, even if meant taking some liberties with the melody. And while I appreciate what both Muse and Metallica do to an extent, I like this a lot more than anything either of them have done individually haha.
@@twistedmime5264 indeed, that's what I meant when I said it meant taking some liberties with the melody. Andre actually enriches the song harmonically in places to make it more "muse-like", certainly in the verse and chorus, where Metallica just use 5th chords and keep it punchy bludgeoning - Andre voiced those chords differently and added that dirge and extra texture.
ehhh. my biggest criticism would easily be that he doesnt take enough liberty with the melody. the original song's vocals are pretty melodically boring, which is kind of okay there because it's quite a bit faster and noisier, and because hetfield's barking introduces timbral variation where another singer might prefer melodic variation. even with these mitigating factors, the original personally grates for me a little somewhere towards the end of both "verse sections"; here it's even more frustrating, despite the occasional falsetto leap. (and like. i dont think im hating, it's a serviceable cover with some interesting ideas, im going to send it to the muse/metallica fans i know.)
With the Stranger Things 4 driven re-emergence of this song, there are SO many people doing versions of this. The amazing quality of this one stands alone. The guys from Metallica have been amazing sports about all of it. Their record company might be a different deal though.
I can’t believe how well he nailed the style. I couldn’t picture it in my head but once he started playing I knew what was up, and was so happily along for the ride. Thanks for making this I loved it.
Been a Metallica fan since about 84 and I have to say... this is a work of absolute genius, I think both bands would stand applaud. Hats off dude, that's amazing..
this is by far my favorite cover of master of puppets. you capture his vocals so beautifully. if i hadn't known, i would of thought it really was a cover by muse of the song. i keep coming back to this because it's so good
The only issue I have with this is you've taken away any incentive for Muse to do it themselves now. This is insanely well done - it transcends time and space.
I don't believe they had any incentive before but I will say that I strongly believe that an actual Muse version of Master Of Puppets wouldn't sound like this. This cover is done by incorporating some blatant "Muse momments" from their career which of course are iconinc but artists are not inclined to simply reuse old catchy parts to indicate that a cover is done in their style. I hope it makes sense.
He makes references to all the Muse's records! That's a crazy amount of knowledge, talent and creativity. Including the production! OMG! I'M SHOCKED with the amazingness of everything here!
For real. I could hear even some sounds of the outros they use in-between songs live (like the hysteria outro) 🤣 the only thing missing is some strobe lights and glitter jackets
You're selling yourself short. Really. He really just followed the patterns of the band muse and applied them to a metal context. You don't need to he talented to do that. However, you have to have musical awareness lol. If you don't hear individual patterns that make a band unique you obviously can't do what he did.
There's always those guys in the comments that are up their own arse, online musicians and their fucking egos man. Just appreciate a composition and move on, no one cares if YOU don't think it's difficult.
@@chrisking6695 its not just musical understanding, its a mixing of all things in a context, look at his filming production, all the instruments that he recorded with very good quality, the vocals that he managed to sing very accurate to the muse singer, and doing this while playing which is something difficult at its own. Analyze all this combined and you still say there is no talent involved to do something like this ?
This is mostly Absolution vibe - you have prettymuch every song from this album sqashed in here. Especially the solo on the piano sounding like Apocalypse Please is just wow.
Right? He basically yoinked this from Muse and if they ever do cover it, they'll constantly have to ask themselves "yeah, but did we do it better than that youtube video?"
Honestly, I have heard the original too many times. Hearing different versions makes it fun to listen to again. And this version I can listen to all day. Awesome.
Was listening to this and then my wife asks me from another room: “Ah, is that another new Muse song?” 🤣 Mission accomplished! Wish Muse would play a cover this way during a concert once in a while! Great job.
Well, to get known people have to hear of you. And where are the people? Streaming sights and radio. The radio that most people listen too plays mostly the same 30 or 40 songs over and over again. Maybe swapping 4 or 5 in and out every half decade. And if you're not already a pop star streaming sights don't pay artists enough to really bother that much with them. The worst thing for talented musicians was the invention of streaming sites. The subscription price payed there goes to the sites and not the artists. The sites then get to pay the artists as little as they can get away with. So it's going to take a lot of blind luck for people to find this guy. Which is a main reason people do covers. People looking for Master Of Puppets here might find this person and go hunt his other stuff down. But it will have to be pure word of mouth and luck.
He actually even sounds like Matt a few times, especially in his middle register (think 'Take a Bow'). So much of this is Muse without parodying the band; the vocals, the piano interlude, the hat-tip guitar riffs and bass lines. I had fun noticing all the nuances from Muse tracks that I recognize. This is marvellously done!
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g-P30WJ3j40.html how about this? He sounds maybe 80% like Matt almost the whole song :D (except when the soft part starts)
In my opinion this is one of the best covers ever. It is not just a mere imitation of the original (what most "covers" do) it actually extends over and brings the musical and lyrical content to a completely different experience. Thank you very much for your efforts and for making this available to us. I bow deeply in gratitude and respect.
If Muse actually did a cover of Master of Puppets, it wouldn’t sound as much like Muse as this does. Absolutely brilliant interpretation. 5 stars. Go to the top of the ‘in the style of’ class.
I'm a huge Muse fan. This is superb! The vocal impersonation of Matt's style is so good. The bullhorn gave me a good chuckle. This man has done his homework.
I was listening to this and my wife said from the kitchen,"I most profoundly and humbly beg your forgiveness for my unworthy ignorance, my most esteemed and gracious master. But, could you be kind to me by continuing playing this sublime and heavenly fusion of Muse and Metallica? For i shall prepare any culinary delight you desires." So nice job.
Andre, you had my curiosity, then you had my attention. Now you have my absolute respect. This is just too good. Im basicly speachless. Musician with the capital M!
As someone who’s all time favorite band is Muse and also loves Metallica, extremely blown away by this. I never imagined I’d hear something so undeniably Muse that wasn’t actually them!! I only hope they see this and recognize your insane talent and deep understanding of their musical styles. :)
EPIC! There is creative irony to Muse's style here. And a full disclosure of the theme! I think that it would not be out of place for the performers to prepare such a tribute to some anniversary.
I’m an old school Metallica fan, but never listened to Muse. Now I feel like I know Muse’s style, and I’m gonna have to listen to their early stuff now cause I want more. This though, this is on a whole different level. This is a masterpiece unto itself. Not a cover, but an entirely new rendition of a classic song. Amazing dude. Truly amazing.
Muse's newest album (Will of the People) is really, really good! The lead singer described it as “a greatest hits album - of new songs”. It makes a good intro to the band.
