diamond_writer Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 On this board? Probably not. But BBC managed to piss off a bunch of Musers for a few hours of broadcast. NBC managed to piss off all of the United States for several weeks. Eeyup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm hoping the show that runs from 12:30-3:30 is the whole ceremony, commercial free, so I'm DVRing it. Now I have to go since I need to get up at 6:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chryse Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I wonder if everyone with criticisms of the performance watched it on the BBC. To be honest, I was watching the live stream and then eventually had to leave before Muse came on. Every performance seemed kinda flat on the live stream for some reason. I tried turning up the volume all the way on my computer and it didn't help at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a problem with the treble cutting in and out. Most of the time it was really dull and flat w/ too much bass. Kind of sounded like my earplugs were half out, but they weren't. But the few times the full sound was working, it was much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuseAmusesMe Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I'm so angry at NBC for cutting Muse. I watched that closing ceremony only because I wanted to see them perform. What a waste of my time. Just needed to put that somewhere other than Twitter <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
January Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 one more time - i THINK maybe they'll show it in at 11pm mountain time in the 'additional coverage' thing on NBC... i'm gonna record it just in case Hey thanks for that. I'll record too just in case. Although if they don't show it it's not that big of a deal since it's already on youtube and musebootlegs. I'm glad it's not like Reading where we needed to wait a year and buy an iphone just to see footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hecklefang Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well the "additional coverage" on NBC started and they're currently showing The Who. Doesn't look promising. Edit: Wasn't paying too much attention, but I think the commentators just said "What an end to the night, we'll be back with a final word from the athletes". Or something like that. So yeah, fuck you NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The performance is great considering it was their first. I wonder now whether I was projecting my own nerves in interpreting the performance when I watched it the first time.

Thank you, can't thank you enough haha. This is what I've been waiting for all god damn day.

kueller Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Oh thanks I'll check this out. Heard it. It's great thanks. Also, if it was mimed, what was the point of going through the effort of micing the drums and amps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaking Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Heard it. It's great thanks. Also, if it was mimed, what was the point of going through the effort of micing the drums and amps? Trust me the guitar was for sure mimed. Starting to think the choir was as well considering there were no mics on any of them nor in front of them. The drums could have been done live not sure. Forget that for now. The 3 big notes Matt all hit and well. The first was one was shaky at the beginning but the other two were dead on. Some of the vocals on the song were a bit off but first performance in a year, on a song you never played live before and on top of that it's the most viewed performance of their career. Not too shabby. His new piano is awesome. Edit: Just heard it again. The first note was on. He just had to go pretend to play guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Why miming just the guitar, though? Nonsense if drums and bass were live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spark_ Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I do think the guitar was mimed, there seemed something a bit off about the way Matt was playing/moving. Wasn't it already confirmed beforehand that the guitar would be mimed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure most people who would know about micing instruments would be able to tell if it was playback. Also I think the last note might have been a bit out of tune. Have to give it a better listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vocals during the second "verse" would have been tons better without his ridiculous shaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I still can't properly see in which moment it's obvious they're miming did they record a live version and playback'd it instead of the studio one? Because guitar is a bit different from the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because guitar is a bit different from the studio version. Did you download the one that was just posted? If so, the entire thing is blatantly obvious. His hands are sometimes no where near the notes he should be playing. But super specifically, go to 1:55. He starts going up the neck and then when he stops to re adjust the mic the guitar is still playing and his hands aren't doing anything. Actually they are. They are resting the strings. Which would prevent noise. I'm sorry that you had to learn the truth Fabri. At least not this way. Considering you were so convinced they were going to go full on live.

Have to give it a better listen. When you say 'why put mics around them?" do you mean around Muse? Because, even though it was miming and everybody knew it, it's not that attractive when a band that is in theory supposed to play a real live show performs with no mics around. It's silly, but I guess, without the mics, most people (especially the ones who don't really give a shit about anything but the spectacle looking good and don't know the band at all) would think 'wow, that's fucked up', but with the mics they think 'ok, it's not that fucked up'. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
