Download Festival 2015: 11 Heavy Tracks Muse Need To Play

8. Micro Cuts

One of the finest displays of Bellamy's vocal range, and some of his mightiest high-pitched work: so what better a song to unveil on the same stage previously walked by Ronnie James Dio and Bruce Dickinson?

Micro Cuts is made for Download with a little genetic engineering: as Bellamy's voice soars into the stratosphere, the accompanying track gets heavier and if the two combine as perfectly as they did in the studio with a little more metal, it will be a winner with the crowd.

Admittedly it's something of an uneven track, but when it - and Bellamy - hit the heights, it's hugely impressive, and it's prime for adaptation.
