Psycho (Muse song) performer Muse

Critics have described "Psycho" as a hard rock and glam rock song with elements of nu metal. The song's main riff has been "in and out of [the band's] live set" for quite some time, and the song was described by the NME as "sixteen years in the making." The infamous "0305030 03055" riff, as known by its place in the live-outro to "Stockholm Syndrome", where its name comes from how it is viewed on tabbed-sheet music.
The song wanted to sample audio from the movie Full Metal Jacket, but they weren't able to get permission, so the military drill heard in the song is a reproduction.Replying to a fan question on his Twitter account, Matthew Bellamy referred to the song's explicit lyrics as "too offensive for radio". Zach Dionne of Fuse said that the song's guitars recall Marilyn Manson's "'90s goth-stompers" like "The Beautiful People".
