At the risk of being called a heretic, i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that i did like the muse cover, although Lightning Bolt is maybe my favorite band. Of course the cover is not as good as the original, but it doesn't completely stray from the original or water it down so much that it is indistinguishable. However, the idea of bringing the bolt to muse fans is pretty ridiculous. And lightning bolt did play to thousands of Europeans at ATP, so i don't think muse is doing them any favor by popularizing their music abroad. Anyway, i'm rambling, but i think the brians should be flattered. It definitely shouldn't have caused any controversy.

I just had a listen to Lightning Bolt for the first time as I was curious to see why Muse had deemed them worthy to cover. Matt Bellamy normally has good taste but LB have to be the most awful band I have ever heard. My grannies ass has produced sounds that are easier to listen to.. Well then why are you even here you shitfaced fucktarded assgoblin? You think posting on message boards of bands you don't even like makes you cool or something?

Excerpt from an online interview with Muse...
"DOM: It’s gonna be a big rocking set, with one or two new songs thrown in.
MATT: Check out the lightning bolt cover song. It’s a new style of music coming out of weird abandoned art galleries in Boston, called Skronk music which is like insane punk, simplistic sort of gamma metal. Dom and Chris are gonna do a cover at the beginning of the gig tonight, of one of the bands that does that."
I'm sorry but what the fuck is that about? Calling all Muse fans- you're favourite band are a bunch of retards, and judging by what you've been saying about LB you all sound pretty thick too. Great, they covered a good song by a good band, but do you think LB would have been happy about it? I'd be pretty pissed off if some band covered one of my songs and said 'it's this new style of music coming out of fake eyelash factories and it's called splerge. It's like spazzed out folk with a twist.' Eurgh...what a musical travesty...

Hey
Erm, I'm the twat who's site the muse cover is on, I've taken it down now but you can find it on the Lightning Bolt site now anyway.
Have to say when I heard Muse play it, I thought it was the best thing I had Muse ever play, then a few days later I found out lightning bolt where the original band, thankfully working in a record store I was able to track down their album and bought it that day. Fucking amazing!
Cheers,
Chris

I didn't know who Lightining Bolt were just over 2 months ago. And when I saw MUSE play what I later found out to be 'Dracula Mountain', I thought it was just Chris (bassist) and Dom (drummer) just jammin' out. But when I read an interview they said "Look out for the Lightning Bolt cover" So I downloaded some Lightining Bolt stuff and thought it was amazing! Sorta music I've always wanted to hear , just without knowing it. Heavy riffs and intense drumming.
And I'm positive alot of Lightning Bolt fans are gonna be pissed off at me, just for liking their band. "Some mainstreamer thinks he's a Lighting Bolt fan!" Fuck it, isn't it great that people have been introduced to Lighting Bolt like this? Because it's hard finding out small, alternative bands such as Lighting Bolt. Their music's so fucking great, and now more people can enjoy it.
By the way, fuck off Ian! MUSE may have done a decent cover, but it was nothing on the actual song!
That's about it, try not to be pissed off at me coz I like MUSE so you automatically assume I'm a kid with a hoody who's heard one album. I do know what I'm on about, Lighting Bolt are great, and I'm sure you know that more than me. But MUSE have done good by covering Lighting Bolt's Dracula Mountain, coz now more people can enjoy their music
Or do outsiders piss you off?

God, your all a bunch of arrogant pricks.
I was there at the gig, the bootleg really doesn't do it justice how it sounded at the time, so don't start saying its crap, I was there, my ears heard that cover, it was an absolutely brilliant way to start that night. So please, stop this bollocks. Also Muse are reknowned are talking complete bollocks in interviews, so you reading that interview likes its the bible shows what you know about them and really just shows how stupid and ignorant you all are.
And no Lightning Bolt haven't done much for themselves in Europe, playing at one festival isn't bringing LB to a large range of "Europeans" (It's sickening you class us as one large group, which is far from the truth) and ATP is hardly a reknowned festival, perhaps they should try playing at a few proper festivals all over Europe, then you might have an arguement. Basically Muse did a huge favour to LB by covering them, they brought LB to a whole new audience (nearly 40,000 over two nights, then all those people who also downloaded the bootlegs of both nights). LB hardly done that at one festival, Muse done that at their own gig.
I do really like Lightning Bolt, just a shame their fanbase are just a bunch of pricks not open to anything new, instead just want to sound big and clever.

I don't know why I keep posting on this thread, but i feel compelled. I for one, don't give a shit if people listen to Muse or Lightning Bolt or both of them. I like Li'l John and my favorite band is still Lightning Bolt. It doesn't matter. And i've already posted to say that i think the cover wasn't bad. However, what Muse said about the music Lightning Bolt makes is pretty stupid. And its hardly justified by saying that they are always spouting off and putting their feet in their mouths. I think its great that more kids could be exposed to them, but they have played all over Europe, made a Peel session, and played ATP, so its not as if they are completely unknown across the continent. Either way i think its cool there are more Lightning Bolt fans around. I am really curious, though, to hear what the Brians think about the cover and the exposure.

Has anyone who replied to this from Providence? look, I can't speak for all of us in this lovely capital city in this lovely little state, but it doesn't seem to be the fact that Muse covered this song, awesome! I think i heard once that Phantom Planet covered the Bolt once, who cares? anyway, the thing that upsets me, and maybe some other providencians is that they called it "skronk" music and said that the Bolt was from Boston! I'm not so sure why, but alot of us really hold dear that such a great band, and more importantly such a great all around music scence is located in our little corner of the world and it hurts to see them, and thus, us as indivuals misrepresented.

Well said Jay Z! I haven't heard the cover so I can't really comment on it, but come on! Skronk music?! That did kinda take the piss a bit...DeadStar, I'd imagine LB are quite happy that fans of Muse (who are hell of alot bigger than LB) have been turned onto Lighting Bolt, I'm guessing Muse are pretty big fans of the band! However, they could at least do a little research before pigeonholing them into some bullshit category of music. Lightning Bolt CANNOT be pigeonholed, I'm sure most people agree with me... Outsiders definitely don't piss ME off, we've all been outsiders before! It's just irritating when certain posters come onto this board and post 'My favourite band covered one of your favourite bands songs but my favourite band does it better and your favourite band is shit'. Leave it out! If you don't like the Bolt then why come onto this board in the first place? "Also Muse are reknowned are talking complete bollocks in interviews, so you reading that interview likes its the bible shows what you know about them and really just shows how stupid and ignorant you all are." Sweet Jesus! Haze...I had no idea Muse were renowned for talking complete bollocks in interviews, what I read was what straight from the horses mouth, how should I fucking now that they always talk shit?! I'm really not a fan of Muse so unfortunately I don't know much about them and what they're like, so don't call me or anyone who's annoyed with what they had to say about LB stupid and ignorant! Ah...must go and watch 'the power of salad' to calm me down...

Okay that is strange...I'm quite liking the esquimax track I'm listening to right now, it's completely the opposite end of Lightning Bolt... Bryan, your room needs a traffic light to look cool, I managed to get hold of one for my room, all I need now is some bulbs and some electricity...

How the fuck do you get a hold of the tune? I just want to hear it, out of interest. I'm sure it'll be shit, but hell.
