Survival - Official 2012 London Olympics Song

[Jobby]

He'll say Epic at least 5 times

 

I'm also expecting: "One of the best bands of the past 10 years and this just proves it" and a few "Blew me away"s

[FabriPav]

That guitar riff on the BBC chorus melts faces.

 

And, most importantly, it's not the copy of New Born

[That Little Animal]

This is how you do an epic Olympics song Queen-style.

Dont forget "I'm Speechless" and "Wow"

[CatchHellBlues]

That guitar riff on the BBC chorus melts faces.

 

Damn right!

[ChrisirhC]

He's not doing Queen.

Only Queen have done Queen.

 

He's doing Muse, which sometimes shares sonic similarities.

 

No one complains when something sounds like Rage...

 

That's because anyone can do rage and do it well. Only Queen can do Queen.

[Peter.]

allright, I don't know wether I should be cursing or cheering that I'm unable to listen to any of the clips, but I'm sure as hell getting impatient now... 1 hour to go. come on, I want it to be awesome...

[ChrisirhC]

[CarrieB]

Hmm I think it's going to be good.

 

Though Matt does sound like Freddie Mercury, though my first thought was "I'm going slightly mad"

[bellapod]

Not long now.

[serpentsatellite]

I have absolutely never been one to complain about Muse lyrics... 99.9% of all music out there is much, much worse, it sounds good, and Matt can write about whatever the f(can we swear here?) he wants.

 

(and I've noticed a hate for any song that may be a little... over romantic...? Maybe.)

 

However... so far this song is making something hurt deep in my stomach and brain. I'll give it a go when I get home, though.

I get that it's literally written about the Olympics, and maybe that's just not my thing.

 

I'm so heartbroken it's not Unsustainable, still.

[CatchHellBlues]

Teasing us on Radio 1 right now

[Suvi]

C'MON GREG JAMES PLAY IT NOW

[mysticism]

They played the first note

 

My life is complete

[Isia.x33]

that was mean :@

[mysticism]

Hahaha NME claim you can listen to the song right now!!!

The page they send you to is empty

[LyraSilvertongue]

Did he just say it will be half an hour? Surely some mistake.

[ChrisirhC]

Well at least Kasabian are still decent.

[Suvi]

They played the first note

 

My life is complete

i can die happy.

 

it sounded amazing.

 

i hope it sounds as good through the whole shit.

[Will_]

The Queen comparisons are bullshit. Some of the Resistance stuff definitely was Queen-y but if it weren't for Bells' voice in places, Survival would be nothing like Queen. When have you ever heard Queen do a riff like that?

[Isia.x33]

Hahaha NME claim you can listen to the song right now!!!

The page they send you to is empty

 

they told me that they have it already

[kueller]

Well at least Kasabian are still decent.

 

Meh, never been a big fan.

[CatchHellBlues]

Well at least Kasabian are still decent.

 

Keeping me happy,...for now!

Also bear in mind this track will replace MOTP, TiRO, Blackout, and various those other gems that will barely get played anymore.

[ChrisirhC]

Meh, never been a big fan.

 

Have to admire their consistency though
