Survival - Official 2012 London Olympics Song

[CatchHellBlues]

Well I think im getting over my initial scepticism and disappointment (that is wasn't Unsustainable) and don't think its all that bad. Need to hear more though obviously...

[chudenk]

I choose to stfu, wait and see

[Isia.x33]

No u

 

FIESTY ONE YOU ARE

 

ohhhh, you haven't seen that side of me yet

[Maneachicken]

Again, (now that officially it will be Survival), anyone reckon this was the song they wrote around the time of NSC that they spoke about being an Olympic song?

[forevermusic]

I played what the lyrics are reportedly going to be and a small part of the back of my head is thinking "Oh dear"

 

I've been out so missed all this but it does sound like a bad idea. It also shows what I know as I thought Elbow were doing the official Olympic song.

Anyone handy at photoshop that would like to put Matt's face on to all the Nickleback lads in a photo? Would pay to see that. (Like the Nicholas Cage one )

I had to choose the most derp picture of Matt as well

Wasn't it on the board in the recording studio?

They'll lose their diehard fanbase in exchange for Biebs fans.

 

Instead of trying to get the Bieber fanbase, they need to be aiming for the Queen kind of fanbase. But crap like this won't be doing it.

 

I swear, if they make a mockery of themselves at the Olympics...I may never tell anyone ever again that I am a Muse fan.

I'm contemplating this too

Nope, part of The 2nd Law recording sessions.

We can keep praying for weeks since it's not going to be released before August.

The amount of money they're making with this.. it's at least double of what they've earned in their whole career so far...

holy cow

[Jordasm]

if their song is pop enough, they can make it worldwide, be loved and stuff

 

but they will probably fall in their fandom's eyes

That's basically the direction I've felt they've been heading towards these last few years.

[dan.]

Is this going to be on the album or do we not know yet?

 

Bit of a n00bquestion but I've not been paying attention at all today...

[hyper_chondriac_muser]

Okay, so it's official. Not sure how I feel about Muse being linked with the Olympics. It's a bit too showy and doesn't seem like it suits them; Muse are showy in a v different way! A film score or soundtrack (not Twishite) is more up their street. Plus, I think it's also my bias against London 2012 – I have to liaise with them for work and they always put the blockers on anything we want to do.

 

Qs:

 

1) Is Radio One playing Survival AND Unsustainable or just the former?

 

2) Same Q for XFM (I heard the presenter say they're playing Unsustainable with no mention of any other song).

 

3) Survival was one of the songs from the Twitpic wasn't it?

 

Exciting times nonetheless!

:LOL: The Derp makes it even better

i know

but still

my non-muser friends are impressed that muse are such a huge part of the olympics

and they don't understand why i am not shit crazy happy hah

 

cannot tell them that i am on the verge of leaving the fandom (though in all honesty i doubt that'd happen, i'd just listen to the old muse stuff and pretend they went on hiatus after absolution)

[ninsp]

MUSE ISN'T A POP BAND

 

THIS ISN'T OK

 

[Isia.x33]

 

people still use memes?

[LyraSilvertongue]

Surely this means they'll be performing at either the opening or closing ceremony?

explain your reasoning... cite sources pls?

thanks

I think I'm more excited for this board's reaction to the full song than the actual song itself. #willgetpopcorn
