crazydays Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 In the Muse sub-topic at reddit.com, the idea to record reaction videos to hearing Muse's upcoming single (Psycho/Drones) for the very first time is caching on. Does this sound fun/interesting to anyone else here? Someone else has also offered to edit the reactions into a compilation type thing with the song. Respond if you're interested, a discussion thread is also located on reddit here. I'm totally down if you guys are: There's a chance that the single will come out this Thursday the 6th on Zane Lowe's last show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentsatellite Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm not into putting my face on the 'net... but damn, I wish I had a video of my face when I first heard Survival... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 These things are always so awkward because it's obvious that the people involved exaggerate their reactions for laughs. *screams because of song breakdown* *gets attention* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectrum IV Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Is your reaction still included if you find the song shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazydays Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Is your reaction still included if you find the song shit? I don't know, there's just so much hype (The artistic director of the Music Video literally called the album a 'game changer for humanity'. That's just stupid, the amount of hype is ridiculous.) I think whether it's disappointment or satisfaction it'd be funny to see how it actually sits with people. Personally I'm expecting to be underwhelmed.

I'm of the opinion that a reaction video to the music video (song included, as a first listen type deal) would be perfect. Considering the hype and everything you mentioned, it probably wouldn't be as interesting to just do it to the song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just the song first, I won't be able to not listen to it. I say first time hearing or seeing the song/video, record it if you feel like it (even if it's just to see your own pure disappointment/joy in your eyes as it comes), and then we'll see if we want to do anything with the clips/share anything. At least that way we'll have it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a thing. There was one for Unsustainable and/or Survival and it was so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should do this too if it ends up this way, so you'll at least have something initial to work with! Oh I definitely will. And that's interesting, I had no idea it had been done before. To be fair I can imagine most of the reactions to Unsustainable and Survival might have been pretty iffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesseract Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Reaction videos can be good if they're genuine, like the Game of Thrones ones. The ones for the new Star Wars trailer were pretty fun too. Not sure how well it would work out for a song, but I'll probably watch for the lulz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I remember one made by a guy for Survival, it was incredibly cheesy with all his forced reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
