Survival - Official 2012 London Olympics Song

[Buxomflirter Queef]

I very much doubt they're doing it for the money.

 

it was a joke, you fool of a took.

 

Twilight was not a good achievement for Muse. More like a low point. Muse obviously wanted to separate themselves from it, too.

see above.

[LyraSilvertongue]

Yes they are.

 

Being a musician is a job. It's naive to think it's not about the money.

 

It's also about the fame and prestige, but still.

 

I'm sure this mostly about the prestige of recording the official Olympics song. That it comes with a bit of money is irrelevant. I'm sure they would have done it for free.

[TheDarkShines]

Hell yeah, nice bit of shikari

[Isia.x33]

Excellent, only 23 minutes until disappointment.

 

your optimism is infectious

[CatchHellBlues]

Suspense is killing me

[kueller]

n audience of generic chant-loving violent men. I see that as an appropriate definition of 'selling out.'

 

Sarcastic or not that's pretty much been Muse for years now

Except maybe the violent part

[HomesickSubterranean]

I've always wondered what it would be like if Muse circa 2001 were shown what their music sounds like now.

[Bumpypotato]

Excellent, only 23 minutes until disappointment.

 

Your name seems appropriate somehow.

Is £60 really that much more than what other arena bands are charging? Every concert I've attended/looked tickets at has been at that range (well, in euros, but the price range is the same for Muse as other acts).

 

Also, I'm not entirely sure the band gets the final say in ticket prices. I think for foreign tours at least they charge a playing fee and then the organizer mandates the ticket prices. I guess bigger bands have some say in the matter though.

 

Of course the bands have a say in the ticket price. It's why bands like Frank Turner and Biffy Clyro can play arena shows for £25 a ticket.

it was a joke, you fool of a took.

 

Well it wasn't funny. Try harder, potato

[Killer Rabbit]

I'm waiting patiently for the sign.

 

[Will_]

Fuck yeah Shikari

[Gareeh]

Any band you like would say yes to the olympics. No questions asked. Unless they felt they wouldn't be good enough.

 

So stop.

[ChrisirhC]

Muse obviously wanted to separate themselves from it, too.

 

But not the royalty check no doubt

[ninsp]

This DJ is INTOLERABLE!

[ChrisirhC]

So stop.

 

How do we know many others weren't asked.

[Nattatouille]

Fuck yeah Shikari

 

I was never a fan until I saw them this weekend.

 

It. Was. Insane.

[deborafraga]

omg Enter Shikari, I remember fighting for my life at the barrier at Reading

[PeedgeMcDuck]

Anyone who like Shikari has no place to complain about the quality of Muse's work.

 

That band is garbage. Through and through.

[hyper_chondriac_muser]

You guys are hard to please

 

This is very, VERY timid cynicism coming from the Muse board. Just wait til the song is released... will be totally ripped apart!

 

Zane's just confirmed 7.30pm, and apparently tweeted a pic of him with the band (I think it's in their London studio), which would explain the interview scenario: I hardly expected them to be there with him live.

[Korni]

That band is garbage. Through and through.

 

excuse you

[Jobby]

Wish Zane would be quiet during the songs. He won't do it during Survival though, he'll be too busy preparing to fanboy them.

[hopelessly-and-endlessly]

your optimism is infectious

 

[jackparker]

Does anyone else's Radio 1 online connection keep briefly stopping?

[ninsp]

Anyone who like Shikari has no place to complain about the quality of Muse's work.

 

That band is garbage. Through and through.

 

Can I give you +1000000000 thumbs up? And a beer? That last song was painful.
