Sorry. The vocals ruined the cover. Alright I wouldnt say ruined, but they surely didnt fit with the rest of it. And even you were on the fence about it,”…Byron Davis screams in jjjuuuussssttt the right amounts.”, Yah well, It was jjjuuuussssttt short of a success. Instrumentals? Fucking incredible. If you put those instrumentals behind Matt Bellamys vox and you’ve got an untouchable. But………they didnt and its not as good as the original,and it certainly wasnt great, but then again covers rarely are.

Well, shit. I can’t find this song anywhere. You think it would be at least posted on their MySpace. I don’t wanna spend money, I don’t really like Muse, and I’m sure God Forbid aren’t bad, but I’m not wasting money. Can’t I get a sample?

I like Metalsucks. I like Axl and Vinnie. But not posting the cover here for “obvious reasons” smacks of an odd hypocrisy.

Agreed.

I HATE the production. There’s no air, no discernible musicianship by any of the individual members, just a big mush of sound. Whoever mixes God Forbid is god awful.

And don’t get me started on that totally gratuitous and retarded meedley-meedley flourish after the first chorus.

Muse is amazing. If this is the best God Forbid can do, they should quit now.

I didn’t know it was possible for a professional band to cover a song, and in the process, bring NOTHING new to the table. This is just a less impressive version of the original song. In fact, they’ve simplified the song considerably. Several interesting drum fills have been replaced with hammering on the splash symbol. Although the harsh vocals don’t detract from the entire piece, they’re very cheesy, and certainly don’t add anything.

Honestly, the track by Muse is A LOT heavier than this.

I wouldnt mind hearing the song before i pay for it, muse and god forbid are pretty cool so hopefully this is suitably good.

FYI, the video isn’t supposed to be this boring. There’s a version out there with regular images.

Muse is a great band, much better than most of this garbage shit repetitive deathcore that keeps coming out.
