Download Festival 2015: 11 Heavy Tracks Muse Need To Play
8. Micro Cuts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y31WAq4cENoOne 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.
