Muse - New Born (Live & Kicking performance)

[LewisTee08]

looooooooooooooool

[KJFilmProductions]

there oviously playin to a track, the funny part is muse's performance is allways crazy like that whe there pluged in yaaa!!!!

[Vlodrak]

They were probably offended that they called it Black Plague when it's clearly Gothic Plague

[thewriter1008]

They're messing around with the TV studio, who told them to do it on playback.  Notice that Chris is on the drums (they don't get many good shots of it, probably because they figured out that the band was playing a prank.

[XxSTRlKERxX]

It's an optical illusion that they aren't playing, in reality they are moving their hands so fast it only appears like they are messing about.

[lovepeacelovepeace1]

I keep having to pause before i kill myself from laughter. Matt is so epic here.

[excelisinsane]

getting muse to lip sink is stupid for two reasons: 1, They are absolutely amazing live (having seen them myself) and two... well, I guess you can see that for yourself :P

[MrGlenLane]

"Black Plague..."? I thought it was Gothic Plague, or am I mistaken?

[akariasking]

Intense.

[midnitemyth]

Dom is ripping the bass!!! xD xD xD

[Saprakilon]

This is what you get when you let Muse lip-sync.

[mward95]

11 people wish they could play the piano with no hands

[DamnArms12345]

I'm glad someone had this clip, i remember watching it when it happened on tv, and i only just remembered it.

[W0LFSNAKE]

3:26 break dance LOL

[djfarrugia16]

They look like they are delibrately being obvious about the fact they are lip syncing... love them even more for this.

[KwonEunAh1]

It's official.. Don't EVER make Muse lip-sync... Dummies xD They're too good to lip-sync, everytime they play their music, it's sound special and unique in it's own way.. I love every version of all of their songs =P

[TheGreenAvenue]

@KwonEunAh1 its funny when they make it tho XD love Matt at the beginning

[cdiSPAGHETTI]

I love his gentle stroking of the keyboard XD

[crk416]

This is what happens when you try to make Muse lip sync

[blinkacoustic]

Hah! Doms on the bass and Chris is on the drums!!

[NejiTentenlova]

You twits. They're obviously playing the instruments with their minds.

[iLOVEmattxD]

I love it how matt dances

[Ashabarala]

emopera???

[paddyfinno20]

what you get when you ask muse to mime

[OpaqueMoonlight]

Dom is a lefty?!

[youtaughtmehowtolive]

@OpaqueMoonlight yup!

[Aoikihou]

I love how the speaker is upside down HAHAHAHA 

[GreenDayandMuse]

playback?? xD

[leoniedesrosiers]

@GreenDayandMuse ya think? xD

[Ayries]

HAHAHA. Oh I love these guys. IDG why people even ask them to mime! I mean, it's not like there's any risk they'll sound bad live. But at least they don't lie to their fans and act like they played live.

[Zolio6]

When I saw Dom playing bass I knew funny shit was going on. Muse knows how to shove it up the network's ass. It must be an English thing to be awesome.

[ANETIT]

haha its very funny see stuff like this!!!! : D

[JMBSKILLS]

some musicians go through a bunch of different names till they get the perfect one which i think is cool, 'cause I like the name that they have now lol

[vos10latika]

amazing..... Matt.... i love u so much!!

[drumchris92]

haha dom looks like he is drunk at 2:47. soooo great

[EmThreePea]

This is why I love them. x]

[ullijoos]

ich lieeeeebbeee dasssssssssss

[PlugInBaby00]

Hahaha I love that they do this when people tell them to fake, those shows deserved to be screwed over. Why would you ever tell a band with such amazing talent and such great live performances to fake it! Well, that's what they get!

[MyMelon13]

hah love doms bass stance :D and its crazy but if i was an audience member on a show where muse was forced to do playback im pretty sure i would enjoy it (not as much as muse live, but more than any other band live lol)

[ivanjny]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!

[IndianaJoel93]

lol I love how whenever muse are forced to preform playbacks they completely screw everyone over and swap positions, lol matt is having a fit on this vid lol

[dieLaura96]

awesome!!!!!

They are doing the same like in the italian tv (rai tre) with uprising!

so cool!!!!!They are toe only one who can do thatmusemusemusemusemusemusemu­semusemuse

musemusemusemusemusemusemusemu­semusemuse

[trolden9520]

I love how they just fuck it up when they play with playback xD

[UberTroll13]

You can tell it's playback but if you don't then let me tell you this..... notice you can see that the main microphone for lead vocals is actually just a metal bar if you look at the curling on the closer end

there is then a piece of foam and the producers of the show think you're too retarded to know the difference

[ben775883]

haha, cant believe drummer and bassist switched instrument, they are fucking legends lol

[AteRockCoffee]

playback y aun asi no dejan de ser

geniales!

Ni el playback puede con ellos! Yeah! XD'

[MuseToYourEars]

Do they realize making muse mime is actually a huge insult to their own name?

'LIVE & kicking.' Yeah, right.

Muse'll show em.

[FretsonFireMuse]

You'd think people would learn their lesson not to insult Muse, because they aren't afraid to screw you over :)

[Grensley]

I hope they are forced to fake it for something big someday.

[monadu72]

c'est quoi ces dances de ouffffs... j'adore!!

hummm play back?!

[AmyJaynee]

hmmm... yeh i bet the producers werent too happy bout that :L

[Geebliss]

lol amazing :D

[smllyshoo16]

or wait no it's bellamy on bass and dom on guitar lol

[smllyshoo16]

does no one else see chris on drums and dom on bass? HAHAHA

[simonjeste]

@smllyshoo16 thanks for pointing that out! it's hard to tell with the poor video quality, but totally obvious in the rare shots of the drummer... also on that Italian show they did the same switcheroo, only this time it was Dom on bass and Chris on lead guitar, and Matt on drums!

[UprisingBliss]

I bet all those people were wondering how Matt was still managing to play the guitar while rolling around on the floor XD Then it was stacks on Matt at the end LOL

[chrls7Cantona]

i think matt bellamy might not waana see this performance EVER again..with those black shades..lol...so bloody hillariously good...

[iluvpurple911]

HELLO! to everyone who's asaying he sound to track like and he doesn't even touch the piano

it's because they didn't let them play live (because matt gets a LITTLE crazy live)

so he got angry and decided to make it obvious he's not really playing

:)

[bareakon]

yeah, those fuckin' fatcats, tryin' to tame muse. fight the powahhhh!!!

[iluvpurple911]

haha fatcats :)

[LordLuddas]

WOOW Matt's so awesome, he doesn't even have to touch the piano to make it sound like record quality! ;)

[kriztendom]

They're funny, its me first time i saw them lip syncing :))

[badrubb3r]

Wow, Matt's voice is so PERFECT here

[nonmeaculpa]

He's lip syncing dude. Listen to the record along with this one.

[tkmrbump]

hahah dude he is syncing. its obv msue hate mimeing so when they do they tkae the mic out of it. he isnt actually playing the piano either btw hahah

[OropherThranduil]

cobain did it first.

[murderleaves]

it's playback

[CarbonatedChris]

bahahaha dom on bass is the funniest :p

[remond5]

They are air playing all over the stage. That's why they HATE PLAYBACK, don't you see the drummer is playing the guitar, if you don't believe me check the video in which they play Uprising on an Italian tv show, on that video Matt is playing drums and Dominic is singing and playing the guitar.

[billboy1616]

Lol Chris on drums is just so hilariously over the top its unreal classic ! :D

[anfgamers]

dom on bass, he's air guitaring all over the stage

[Ukraz]

hahaha. this whole performance is amazing, but the best is when he jelly arms the keyboard and then just stops pretending all together

xD

[coolbean08]

hahahahaa!! matt cracks me up at the beginning!! and dom on bass XD 2:49 onwards LOOOOOOOOL

[hUrAn0]

xDDD

[Axemaster5]

hahaha hilarious. such a rebellious band :)

[irenequeen93]

jaja

parece k no se les da muy bien so del playback!

k artistazos!

[undiente]

they're actually playing the instruments. But they're just SO good, we can't notice it

[EJRocky]

Actually mate, that would be GOTHIC Plague...

Kid's TV presenters, eh :P

[SamuelEllmer]

1:56 See his left arm? He draws veins on his arms XD

[AbraCadaverArson]

HAHAHA! matt is such a good piano player he doesn't even need to touch the keys ;)

[simmouk]

Lol, first time I've seen this - brilliant!

[uhmene]

Was that Robert Smith on drums?

[briainod]

nah its just chris the bassist

[anaabananaq]

OMG SEX! LOL

Have I told ya how I love Muse? Really, they're amazing HAHAHAHHA

I don't know how to explain how I laugh seeing this video. Did you guys already see a similar video, a "live" @Quelli Che Il Calcio? I don't evem know how, but is funnier than that xD

[PressureChief421]

That one is definitely great. I LOVE how un-seriously Muse takes themselves.

For those of you who can't find the other "live" one - /watch?v=3oTt8Noi5Rk

[musewembley17]

best bit is chris and dom swapping! This is Muse's answer to going mainstream.

[Corgan3underscores]

chris and dom :)

[topspin87]

HAHHAAHHA. I love muse.

[mrsmattbellamy23]

love the shades :)

[EpicShinyLapras]

What's this show called, do we have a date?

Awesome live performance, I can't believe Matt learned to play Piano without his hands.

[pokemew]

ahah everytime I see this I crack myself laughing! Thank god they did that... asking the bands to mimick... pfff fuck them! Go muse!

What I love most about this is matt "lip sync" in this AHAH and of course, the 'piano playing' and such.. ohh, Chris in drums and but Dom in bass AHAHA :'D love them

[Shadow9392]

omg matt b r so pro he duz teh secks face and plays teh piano w/o even touching it and duznt afraid of anything

[jamescfc1]

This makes me laugh every time.

[deliriumtriggered]

emopera???

what the fuck is that??

[hhcash]

sounds like a mix between "emo" and "opera" to me

[binstig]

um ok...

[Guitarawr]

sounds like a mix between "no" and "you could not be more wrong if you tried" to me

[yeeerk]

matt is so beast at waving his arms lololol and chris is crazy on drums

[crazyboo925]

THESE PE0PLE ARE S0 STUPiD....L0L

i L0VE MUSE GLAD THEY MADE THAT SH0W WAY BeTTEr:).....

CHRiS 0N DRUMMS...D0M 0N BASS...AND MATT 0N ....CRACK hahaha

[tsk187]

AWESOME! :D Trust Muse to make such a statement. Muse love to play live and so I reckon getting their own back was great! Good job Muse!

[TomDeshort]

haha, kinda ironic considering the name of the show is LIVE and kicking. major respect to muse, as if i didn't already respect them enough.

[Zeinishe]

wtf was that????

[JTandresen]

what were they thinking, not allowing Muse to play live? that's like the most stupid thing ever. that's like not allowing a comedian to be funny. i mean, come on, it's muse, playing live is what they do best!

[tkaczyk1995]

OMG friggen hilarious, lol matts face 0:46

[HLGGanoth]

Chris is on the drums and Dom is playing bass in this!

Funny how the fans didnt go, "WTF, this is fake!", ESPECIALLY after the synth, hand...wave...think from Matt lol!

[markiboy2517]

You can completely understand why they were taking the piss! Not allowing them to play live?! what were they thinking?? Completely understand Muse's reaction to that decision

[ncalvin86]

This is embarassing...why would you not allow the band to play? Seriously? "Don't be musicians, please, that offends us"

[Apekooi]

they were angry at the BBC; the BBC insisted on them playbacking the show instead of actually playing. Their response was typically muselike; they mocked it by not really playing.

[Pixylchaz]

:D Woohoo! Spirit fingers! ^^ You just gotta love Muse lol. \= I wonder why they weren't allowed to play live...

[becker089]

Hahahahah thats epic!!

WTF where they pretending to play on a kids show anyway lolz..

Lol @ Dom playin bass too hehe

[seikkies]

That was awesome hahah

[tkaczyk1995]

lol Chris and dom swaped!

[poiuytize]

idiot audience . . . . . . .

[fanielsexy]

omg its a fucking playback. but why?

[crazy4japan]

the best thing about this is.....i bet the crowd don't even realise wat happened looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­l. luv music? luv MUSE :D

[mentalman1369]

lol @ Dom playing bass at 2:45 ahaha

[xManamii9x]

is this really live?

[waheiki]

..no

[mattytowler]

I love how dom and chris have switched places too

[Amulius]

ROTFLOL god i love muse

[Garadlin]

playback :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(((.... *crying*

[HandsomeJimK]

Stickin it to the clueless corporate pigs who would rather be PC than let the artist perform their art...way to go boys...

HYSTERICAL!!!

[CriticalJ]

yes, its true, they arent playing because BBC wouldnt let them play live. therefore, they exaggerated it all in a mock performance. Also if you notice, Dom and Chris switched instruments... i know chris used to play drums back in the day but i wonder if Dom has any clue how to play bass or not lol

[zenos34]

THEY ARENT PLAYING THE INSTRUMENTS!

[oly36]

yeah!:)!!!!!!!!!!

[StrogenZalec9456]

saturday morning kids? come on.

the reason muse was, kinda creepy, is because it was for a small age audience. Makes perfect sense. Kids are into creepy stuff.

[StrogenZalec9456]

remember that rap is crap!

[seargent48]

GOD DAMN LIVE AND KICKING

[Athena172825]

omg...they've always had a blast on stage.

They KILL me.....

[WelcomeToTheJungle31]

Matt on Bass

Dom on Drums

Chris on Bass

Lip syncing?

WHAT THE HELL IS UP?

WHO THE FUCK DIVIDED BY ZERO?

[ThePouceGoose]

Oh, no, you divided by 0!

... YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO THAT GOOD MAN

[47895647]

What is this for a shit.Matthew play not E-Guitar and Piano and Matthew sing not.Was there some ill? And why did Matthew sunglasses and Dom an.Chris play their instruments.

[thelolcamel]

2:47 look at chris lol!! x

[hectorlo575]

Im not sure but actually Dom and Chris Changed instruments cause the network didnt want them to play the song live... thats why matt isn't playing the piano and just waving

[rockerogalaktiko]

lol matt on bass

[Ravenj419]

HAHAHAHA What?!? Attershja you are kidding right?

[attershja]

What do you mean? I was watching this, thinking 'Lol, Dom's on the bass' then I read a load of comments that said Dom was on the guitar, not bass and was thus confuzzled.

[attershja]

So. Chris is on the drums...Matt is on the bass...Dom is on the guitar?

That's amazing. XD

This is my second favourite mime video. I looove the Sing For Absolution one. :D

[dazvader12]

no matt on guitar,dom on bass,chris on drums

[attershja]

Thought so, just read a load of other comments somewhere, saying Dom was on bass :S

[attershja]

* sorry, not 'saying Dom was on bass'

I meant to say 'saying Dom was on guitar'

[LoveableJoe]

Leg-ends!!!

[coldhardfacts]

I love muse, but it's strange in this performance they are playing Mili vanilli style. Things were not matching up. I'm tellin ya

[Johnzen03]

That's the point...the producers of the show wouldn't let them play live so they just dicked around.

[coldhardfacts]

I would've refused to do the show under these circumstances

[NotAYTUser]

i would do the same as they to show how annoying miming is.

[buttsyrc8]

Is NO dought a good singer but is limited when also playing instuments!

Should be just a singer.

[BiGtRouBle666]

shit ! play back !

[MrFairygodmother]

lol, i didn't notice it was a kid's show xDDDD until i just now read the description... I'd wanna be there!! Dx

[afiq200990]

HAHA. look caREFULLY. matt on bass. dom on guitars. chris on drums. WTF? AND DOM's got a left handed guitar too!. he plays drums on the left. HAHAH

[DannyLovesMuffins]

Muse were told to mime, so they did. Look at how they performed. Switched members and Matt's piano "playing".

Note to World: Don't tell Muse to mime. Your show ends up looking retarded. LOL

[n00bzorman]

also matts breakdancing at the end, surely nobody but the idiots believed this :,D

[BloodTal0n]

Hang on a bloment, what does that video description say?

EMOPERA?!

[bjossus]

Lol, those guys crack me up. They always do something when they're told to mime or not do this or that on shows. And for all you show hosts: DO NOT ASK MUSE TO MIME OR TRY TO TELL THEM HOW THEY SHOULD PERFORM!!!!!!!

[Imyreld]

This is what happens when you ask the best live band to lip sinc...good for them for making it obvious!! I love this vid!

[phanhuybach14]

wait!! Chris on drums and Dom on guitar?? xDD

[madpaintbalerx]

Chris used to play drums in a band, so that isn't exactly unusual, but Dom on guitar, yes.

[n00bzorman]

also matt on bass.

[lalali2323]

[idk how the hell this vid is

not in my faves !@#$%!^&@#!]

MUSE asked to MIME ?

what a disgrace ! zzzzzzzz

they done the right thing

though ; YEAARRGHHH MUSE IS MY MUSE !

dom .. is .. the .. hottest . =,]

[robbo4pm]

haha, i hope more stations ask muse to mime, just to see what they do! like when he gave the bird while 'playing' muscle museum on some german(?) show

[Meteoralogist]

Matt doesn't like playback, hehe.

[LORDUnLuCkY13]

they should have known betta than to ask muse to mime XD

[rupy100]

whats up with matt's hands on the piano?

MUSE!MUSE!MUSE!MUSE!MUSE!MUSE!­MUSE!

[skalkmusix]

pws eisai etsi re papara bellamy?

[benbenguitar]

i wouldnt be surprised if matt was actually plain piano at the start he has special powers when it comes to music :P

[StrogenZalec9456]

what up with the hands?

[Lysimachus]

Epic, Muse know how to react to being told to mime a performance.

[candytuftbloom]

This is so very cute.

[SillyStephers93]

mahahahaha!! this video is so funny he's just taking the piss out of the show :P

and chris on drums and dom is on bass FTW XD

i just think its amusing how they've ripped the shit out of the show

[REproccession]

they were doing a this performance to be extra screwy

love it

[AGDG123]

what a nob they were called gothic plague

[tristanharrison]

yeah they were not black plauge..
