CoolFunkMan Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Hehe, it's great isn't it? I loved the interview with Dom too, "The drumer, Matt..." xD
Paj! Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I hate miming, unless it's necesarry for whatever reason (in a big-scale production with dancing or whatever), and even then, only for minor bits (not whole songs). So I'm glad Muse did that. But people do/did it all the time. Usually when people mime now, it's out of choice.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I'm not sure I get it. How exactly are they taking the piss? I see that the drum isn't playing all the beats heard, but that's all I see. On the topic of miming/singing playback, I walsy thought it seemed cheap. If you're playing live, you're playing live. LIVE. As in not prerecorded.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 This is a picture of Muse's lead singer. Now watch the video again. Ahhh, so the lead singer took the drums for fun's sake? Now I see the humour! :p I was merely hindered by my lacking knowledge of bands.
Dyson Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Not quite - they were forced to mime the track on TV and have the studio version playing, a common practice which Muse hate. So they switched instruments and played stupidly so that people could tell it was a prerecorded copy. They've done it before, they're on Youtube too
Ten10 Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Wow everyone in my circle of friends at sixth form loved Muse but I never paid them any attention, and just listened to them for the first time now. They are pretty good. Anyway here is my contribution for today.

Mr_Odwin Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Rule #1 with Muse, never ever force them to mime... xD Nirvana did something similar on top of the pops (but with live vocals).
MoogleViper Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 That would be much funnier if they had put "EXPELLIARMUSE!"
Goafer Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I think I mentioned this in the HWYD thread, but for those who missed it (or in case I didn't actually post it there) here is the back story: The lady in charge of inspecting the prints before they go out brought something back saying that it wasn't good enough. She said that the next person would spot it. My boss said they wouldn't. My boss was so confident that he said "If he notices it I'll..." *pauses to think*"..run around the car park, waving my arms, yelling Julie is never wrong". And indeed Julie is never wrong:
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Nirvana did something similar on top of the pops (but with live vocals). Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was also the first ever Stage Invasion that took place on Top of the Pops. It then happened a few years earlier with Oasis - D'ya know what I mean? That's a bit of music trivia I think. Just tried to research more into it, but couldn't find any further info. But, that performance by Nirvana is legendary. He later stated in an interview that he wanted to sound like Morrissey. Haha.

Comparing Obama with Hitler and Marx? Seriously? They should see how things are in Denmark. To them we must seem like a new Soviet Union.

Mokong Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 The first 2 might have been posted here before, but theWIneKone just put a 3rd, so at least that'll be new, plus cool to have all 3 in one place
