To the people who are criticizing them for lypsyncing/wondering why they're doing that -
Alot of the times when shows force them to lypsync instead of performing truly live, they basically tell the shows to screw off by making it painfully obvious they ARE lypsyncing - which is what they're doing in this video. One of their more famous cases of doing this (famous to some Muse fans, at least) is with Uprising, though I can't remember the exact performance. So compliment them, not criticize! :P
the members of Muse are truly artists. I respect them so much more for ridiculing this playback phenomenon in the music industry. For those who don't know them, it seems like they just don't take lives seriously, but as someone who has been to several real lives, they surpass this a million fold.
certainly explains why the camera can't focus on any ONE thing and hold it there - would be too obvious hehehe. Bless 'em, it's great to see them exposing TV shows that insist on playbacks.
... I love him... i truly love him.. MAtthew You are the best, and the best thing is... YHAT YOU KNOW IT!! YHe just Rules!!! and Im serious... he is a magnificent person! *O*
well. they let it be known they were lip syncing on purpose.though its the 1st time they did it without eating microphones or breakdancing and summersaults during solos
lol Dom laughing at 4:47 at Matt coz he's all confused XD. I wonder which is worse punishment, the miming or the fact he is confused at what the woman is saying XD
love it when they used to mess around when they mimed, now they dont :( But tht used to be a sorta protest against miming... and a chance to mess around lol :D
Don't mean to burst their bubble because i LOVE Muse (seriously, best band in the world, seen them live). But the woman's speech at the start is out of sync so i think it would have been in sync when it was broadcast but became out of sync when it was uploaded.
its fucking playback it sounds the exact same as the album,muse always adds variation when they play live. i think they got scolded the last time they got out of line on a live show
their really amazing live! i dunno what their doing in this video though... im guessing they werent prepared cuz one of the band members is missing and who is that old guy?!
Don't you think taht maybe they've been miming on purpose? Just to show their miscontent because they couldn't perform live just like they did in this vid : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXhEUPcLSCI&search=muse%20kicking ?!
THIS.VID.FUCKIN.SUCKS.only the interview was ok..i agree with suppamike..and they did really really bad mime..if they ever come to finland i hope they could even play live..i want hear mime only from radio..
lol... muse have mimed b4 this... check out more vids here.. they hav 2 mime 2 promote their songs on some occasions.. check out the new born mime its reli good
You might want to consider the editing and conversion from PAL. Bless his heart, I think he did pretty damn well considering he only understood a small bit of what she was saying. And I liked it. Ooooh You Set My Soul Alive. Rock It Muse.
often miming/playback is to do with censorship... its a way of guaranteeing a "tv friendly" broadcast. back in the day the band would just get cut mid-performance if their lyrics or content was obscene.. memories of Rage Against The Machine on Saturday Night Live circa '95....
Don't you guys know that in some tv-shows bands are getting forced to mime or playback. In germany bands on television always mime. Its not that its Muse choice to playback, they just where told to playback.
What I like about Muse is that they always come up with new stuff. You just have to listen a couple of times to it before you get it. This song rocks and if you still have your doubts about the new album listen to starlight and knights of cydonia. Then you know this album rocks as much as the ones before. Im a big Muse fan and Muse always rocks!!
I'm also desapointed because of their new style which sounds like...like...euh...like a supermassive commercial song. However, each album is different, and this one will be different too. And I listened to Knight of Cydonia (even if it was bad quality), the hopeless of great album still alive!
Anyway, even if Muse becomes a fuckin commercial band, I don't give a fuck if they do nice gig!
Knights of Cydonia, Des and Bebase Manson grog are some of my favourite songs ever, so the new albums gonna be amazing i think, Matt said there are alot of one off song on the album. dont give up on they yet dude
You'll like Supermassive Black Hole if you give it a chance and listen to it as much as I have :-P Would you prefer to Muse always doing the same thing? I like that they try stuff out as well.
that's so fucking sad... the song sounds like prince and backstreet boys.... and a playback?? it' the end of muse... and i'm sure tht with this kinda shit they'll probally become more popular here in brazil... for the masses... fuck them!!!
they WOULD make them lip sync.. i'm sorry but this show sucks! they're doing zoom ups of matts crotch and doing all those lame transitions.. they could've kept live vocals or something! fecking wankers!
What the hell was with the subliminal messaging with the American flag? Matt's turning you all against us! (But I'll admit I did like the semi-acid trp halfway through)
But yeah, muse's synchs are less than perfect- I think they really just don't give a rat's.

Muse doesn't like it when they are forced to mime on TV show so they play dorks to protest against it and it's way more awesome that way.
