[MrTeddy9595]

CHRIS DEEPTHROATING THE MIC AT @3:02

[iLoveMuse13]

The audience are so oblivious too!

[kyu300]

Chris is EATING the microphone at 3:02, #LOL

[869594]

well, i'll be honest with ya, for the best LIVE beand around... they give a pretty damn good fake live show :)

[samwardsamward]

Nom nom nom microphone

[icecold510]

nom nom nom! my cupcakez!

[sgtscortez]

hahah matt at the beginning lmfao XD haha hes like HEYYYYYY

[sporky27]

hahahaha chris got hungry and decided to eat the microphone. :D

[mikeybmore15]

hahaha chris

[XxFuzzballsxX]

lmaooooooooooooooo i love it when shows dont let them play live xD

[skatinggaz]

chris is eating the microphone from 3:02 onwards xD

[skatinggaz]

3:02 onwards, chris is eating the microphone xD Brilliant! i loled.

[adecco57]

why they need to lipsync?? stupid live show better just go to rubbish bin and eat shit -_-; muse is great and is always.

[VicksWezaleff]

whats with the mouth closeups

[RockinMorroccan]

Matt is missing his pedals

Lipsync...oh well

[coolvidyos]

they didnt letem sing live :l

[Gr33nMamba]

@RockinMorroccan

Considering they are only playing one song, a single for TVthey wouldn't nessecarily need pedals if no changes to the tone are made. But yes it is not live.

It's strange that the drums are the only live sound here. Usually It's the vocals that are only live in a studio performance.

[marcolovebass]

gam gam gam gam gam gam gam gam gam gam

[jack101093]

lol wtf? why is he eating the mic

[yeoldewildy]

I love it how Chris throws his bass on the drum kit - you can hear the cymbals

[Vnigo]

0:02 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL²²²²²²

and his face during the solo......

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Loony153]

2:45 is amazing. when he's suppose to be playing he's just posing. i want to be like them when im older

[bluefireball0210]

i hate when they are forced to mime to the recording, but it is usually hilarious

[AbsoluteKaoss]

LOOOL! CHRIS!!!

[chocovanillamint]

Chris was sucking the mic! And Matt was so funny,,, as usual  :D

[soneli6873]

i think chris was hungry

3:04

[johedsita]

i love this play back xD

[sclyfes1212]

What a gifted man. He can reach 4 octaves alone. On the piano: From A2 to A5... Rather a miracle :P

[nuttybassist93]

lmao chris eating the mic! i love these guys

[Cog3n]

wow haha thats so funny.

[rinca92]

exeptionnelle !!! muse!

[mervynster]

lip sync..

[flubberdubber]

its because they didn't let them sing live, thats why you can see them fooling around like chris chewing on the mic.

[ArgentinianTraceur]

XD, i love how matt waves at the camera at the beginning, and i hate mimed performances, theyre so retarded, unless its the hey you crazy kids, or live and kicking XD

[Beerlover2007]

They look sooo bored and pissed off there. I hate mind performance

[nennie16noonah]

oh i love it. i love muse even more now...hehe they fucking rock live nd im sure they were pissed off tht they cudnt show tht 2 the audience hehe when he swallows tht mic hehe

[gomaloka]

why dont stupid producers let Musicians do their music? D8

[SimonG47]

You're so right.

[ryanjnufc]

Chris swallowing the mic was the best bit lol. Muse hate having to do mimed performances and to right as well a would be pissed off if a was appearing on a show which mimed your performances. If I was Matt I would have walked onto the stage with a banjo lol, just to piss off the producers of cd:uk.

[manco82]

I hate mimed performances, so do Muse.

[SonyyyA]

makes you shiver because you prob. slept with them... your so lucky ):

[MyNameIsNotBrian]

if you guys thought this was funny, watch the Muse live and kicking performance. They made it hilariously obvious they were being dubbed haha.

[assaultworm]

this was definitely early on. it's not a live performance, definitely dubbed

[PointZero4life]

check out the new born live and kicking performance, that's the funniest of the muse mimed performances imo.

[assaultworm]

haha that was hilarious.

[carramrod232]

i hate to say it but you're probly right.

[musegera]

my favorite muse song

[AVAboxcar]

aaaaahahahah they're so great

[FreydaWright]

Did anyone else catch what Christopher Wolstenholme does with his bass at 3:50-54? I read that they were told to mime the whole performance, so they did subtle things on stage to protest.

[yomammaonastick]

wtf? lol he just threw it at the drums

[Prongshorn]

lol

[PointZero4life]

why did they mime the performance anyway? i mean it's obvious that they did, just look at the way he's playing the solo lol.

[assaultworm]

also at 3:06, he swallows the mic

[webnetinternet]

2:28 - 2:50 are epic LOL!!

[acedrawer19]

it's because he's voice boxing idiots

[thenetwork00]

I LOVE THEM AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[PierreRHCPfan06]

shitty playback... :'-(

[SoldierDood]

Yeah Did anyone see that Chris was eating the mic at 3:09 lol.

[Brandonlcosta]

Haha. What the heck? He was about to deep throat the mic.

[brokado]

bahaha he almost seems like he choking, well at least we know he's straight. love them!

[yomammaonastick]

new price on ebay for that mic 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000001 dollars

lmao

[yomammaonastick]

thats not all he does

[jaybre09]

they were forced to lip sync, i think i read it somewhere. what a shame because they are amazing live.

[Teoodorh]

LoL Chris's new diet , microphones :D (3:09)

[majkilll]

Maybe the station forced them to lip sync and as payback he did what he did ^_^

[ilikemonkeys100]

wtf?hahah, did he just get bored in the middle of the performance and think "hmm, i wonder how far i can fit this mic into my mouth." ??? hahaha

[emexlondaxe78]

Fucking CD:UK MUSE are a awesome live band for a reason!!! Let them play live!!! Good on Matt for pissing about and gesturing to the crowd during the solo! Oh yeah Chris micporn lol!

[attershja]

Haha. This is one reason I love Muse :D

They make a stand when they don't agree with something :D

[shoelaceisuntied]

hahahahahah what the fuck!!!!! he just started suckin on that mike...

[didowrx]

this is lip sync!

[somberlight]

pretty much (i suspect its only vocals + some backing stuff, rest "ring" somewhat right to be real), but yeah thats what everyone does at chart-like programs or something. must be the sound-engineering thing? no idea.

[Btothecc1]

I think maybe because they didnt have all their equipement they usually use, so they were forced to lip sync

[Hunter909]

but he has his voice and his guitar, so I think that the were forced to to lipsync because of the equipment. I guess the tv station want it....what a shame for the tv station...muse is a really great live band...adn narh..but it's kinda funny how they pose because they want to show that they "have to to this" I would say ^^

Sry for bad english ;)

[eXuroo]

:D 3.05 :D but looks playback

[bentheunicorn]

3:06 WTF haha

[ErasedCitizen213]

Matthew Bellamy.

<3

...even if they're lip syncing. XD

[Mrman154]

i wonder if they were forced to lip synch and didnt want to, so they just pissed around

[sumosanta55]

I think so. They made it so obvious that they're synching. They must pride themselves on being as good as they are live, so being forced to synch is really a shot at them.

[dallorenz21]

probably seeing as chris was trying to swallow the microphone at one point lol

[bennejos]

woow great song

[turkeyslayer22]

3:05

WTF XD

[finbar3bar]

OMG chris just eats the microhpone randomly!! XDDDDDD

[chimichurris2qhotmai]

alomejor no fue en vivo orque se escucha igual que cuando la cantan en el disco pero no quiere decir que no pueden cantar o tocar todos sabemos que ellos son los mejores en vivo alomejor lo hicieron play back porque nisiquiera querian tocar ahi o porque tuvieron una pelea con los dueños del programa pero no importa ami me encantan los falsetos de matt

[juanariful]

@chimichurris2qhotmai siento si ya es muy tarde para responder jaja 3 años

pero muse odia hacer mime (actuar como si estuviesen tocando la cancion) y acuan como payasos para que sea obvio que no estan tocando jaja son los mejores

[chimichurris2qhotmai]

i nthink that they sing playback because they really didnt want sing there or maybe they didnt like the place cause everybody knows that they love give concerts alive

[cypherbleue]

Chris,.... you're awesome!!! hahaha

[hohboy]

lol in the beginning matt is playing his guitar when its the piano part and theres no guitar.

he makes it so obvious.

i feel bad for them,

[therealcoalman]

i know but they had a lot of guts what they did on radio three :D

[citizeno0oerased]

Its playback cause we all know Muse sounds better live. lol

[adritravis]

matt seems to be making fun of the whole thing haha.... but anyway who cares! muse rocks live and well everybody knows that...

[Joes3ff]

You're all stupid thinking this isn't mimed

of course its lip synced

is it not obvious because they're taking the piss, like when chris eats his microphone

and matt starts being silly around 2mins into it

since muse hate lip syncing and we're forced to :P

[hellisnextdoor]

haha matt's waving at the beginning

but is this mimed?

[Rossfull]

I wouldve loved to been there. not many people and all so close

[SINKID3]

it sounds almost identical to the studio version because they are a band who train to themselves to acheive perfection in everything they do. the name of the song strongly reflects it, Sing for 'absolution'.Muse is just too great, but i have to admit to be fair there are some parts of the song that are played directly from the studio version. Its not their fault maybe, its just the host's fault.Haha.

[montana2924]

its not live its playback.

[anoah21]

Is it just me or is it only a recording playing because this sounds way to clear to not be live. I mean there are usually differations in sound when its live like the singers voice

[Iwuzlikeduuh]

maybe its recorded directly to the camera or something?

[glebber]

have a question though... how do u mime drums??? surely that's not possible? or do you mute them or smthing? anyone know?

[karfedax]

Yeah defo a mime. Muse hate when they dont perform live too. Saw this video when they are all taking the piss on some show cos Matt is mouthing out of time, and Dom and Chris change positions for the craic lol Amazing video!

[Forreststube]

wonder what crisis mike tastes like?

[divwilson50]

its not live

because the people who watch cd uk are lame beyond belief.

and the crowd are like drones lol

[hellomrbellamy]

classic. chris eating the mic, matt not playing his solo

aah, i love it when muse mime :)

[boyjimmyjohn]

i love muse, prob there biggest fan ever, but this song sounds exactly identical to the studio version

[Erythromycine]

yeah there miming there

[SimonG47]

It's clearly a play back about 2:47

[kimie126]

the producer dosent allowed them to play live..

dunno why, and u can see matt is dissapointed there...

[citizeno0oerased]

Either the crowd is really stupid.. or they think it's awesome that muse is taking the piss. lol

[Mortnieal]

love how Matt's waving in the beginning. XD

[Rockgod135]

Believe it or not MOST of the solos are Bass dominated :-)

[kemotkemot]

Apart from the playback, Matt DOES sing live here - you can hear it in the chorus.

[hellomrbellamy]

awesome. They just take the mick so well - Chris eating the mic, Matt not playing anything in the geetar solo.... aaah, muse are just so awesome :D

[perfectinsanity9]

the way Matt holds mic so close his lips... so sexy Mmmm ;)

[ShowbizDestruction]

LMAO. Why does Matt feel the need to wave behind her at the beginning when he is already famous and KNOWS he will be on tv in just a few seconds. He kills me. XD

[ChernobylTaco]

Chris can deepthroat mics like a champ!

[spacedementia2008]

haha what a performer. they aren't even playing anything

[PETERILEY07]

if they arent playing anything there, watch them at glasto/wembley/v festival. see if theyre miming there. dickweed

[spacedementia2008]

i wasn't talking about other performances though, only this one. dickweed

[PETERILEY07]

most of it is performed live anyway, just the piano isnt. dickweed

[skimpreston]

DICKWEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDD!!!!!!!!!­!

[Estelle76muse]

Hahahaa Excellent !!!

[IronLass]

xD look at Matt at the begining of the video

~kinda happy~

[darkmask808]

they need a 2nd guitarist so that they can sing this one live

[YumikoWatanabe]

noooooo MUSE IN PLAYBACK??? ERESIA!!!!

[babeyduck]

HAHAHAHAHA THE CROWD .. what a pack of lifeless people :( MUSEEEEEEEEEEEE:D

[1thebadwolf1]

I don't think they're really playing. But hey, I wouldn't care! I'd love to just see them in person. Rawr, matt. Rawr.

[waffle2012]

watch them in their live performance at Wembley stadium. They sure as hell are playing there.

[1thebadwolf1]

thanks! I quite enjoyed the vid.

[ShinySoundEffects]

Matthews hair is hot.

[Jesgan1]

wasn das.. warum singen die nicht live? ich bin empört!!!

[Fabcfab]

brilliant playback

[jimivr]

Ive never understood why the dont let bands play live

this is just a joke, the amps dont have heads and dont have mics at the speakers.

if i were on one of these shows id take the piss too, its rediculous

Very funny when it goes wrong for the show though :)

[mmmmmmmmmmmmmkay]

fucking CLASSIC

[theFEELgoodINC]

favourite part would have to be chris eating the mic.

[Briant27]

[tekako27]

they should notice that its not live, i would in a second

[Zherot]

i love muse but , this is not playback?

[smellers]

ahahahaha at chris! they were blatently trying to show us that it was mime. although i dunno why they didnt let them go live because they sound brilliant live.

[pappypappypappy89]

haha, chris puts the mic in his mouth!

being forced to mime, what a pile of wank! but high five to taking the piss!

[crtrpg]

[Xintarion]

[Museffs]

Poor Chris, he loves the mic too much lol.

[minihern]

zoom to 2.28 . you can see him tekin the piss , it's hilarious. they (cduk) proberably daint want it live coz then kids would start learning the guitar and stop singing on X-factor

[glasgw]

[R4ptor2]

[friggingbomb88]

[CyberNebulaD3z]

I loveeeee them!

[TheThimble49]

Despite what people think about them "SUCKING" live since they were forced to lip sync a couple of live TV performances...they're actually VERY good live. Best band live I've ever seen. Look up any of their songs, but add 'live' to the end of the search. Enjoy :D

[ohmygoditsamazing]

yeah, did u know they won best live band of the year about five times now in the NME awards

[OnTheBorderAgain]

I must say I was very amused when the guitarist got a big cheer during the solo although he wasn't playing. :)

[Kiror789]

3:09 and 3;10 the guitar player on the right (forgot his name) is eating the mic xD

[xXWeezerXx]

bass player? chris wolstenholme xD

[XuserfriendlyX]

hahaha deepthroat xD

[getagrip99]

At 2.46 - 2.48 Matt is like 'Oh my god! I can play a guitar riff without touching my guitar!!!'
