FabriPav Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 If they keep the rule about having to mime I seriously doubt they will play at all They really have to mime? Yes, however, B&H would be the perfect choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcade Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 They really have to mime? Yes, however, B&H would be the perfect choice more speculation if they did perform then in all likeliness the band may just (its global PR for gawds sake so of course they'd like to) perform live, but have a backing track just in case theres a problem with stage equipment. Miming entirely on stage just isnt in Muse's vocabulary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyper_chondriac_muser Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Miming entirely on stage just isnt in Muse's vocabulary It is if it's a piss-take. Now THAT I'd like to see at the Olympics . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Didn't Matt wave his arms around during the piano in Newborn? Or was this a different show? That was in 2001, I think. What Kueller was referring to happened in 2006, the band was promoting BH&R and "played" Supermassive, without swapping places and just miming the song.

haze015 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 There is a huge conspiracy theory surrounding the games, so it would be odd if Muse was there. That said, the conspiracy stuff is mostly flawed, made-up and the USA-centric, no different to usual. This article is from a year ago, so it's nothing new, but it doesn't appear to have been posted here.... http://www.contactmusic.com/news/coldplay-and-muse-set-for-olympics-launch_1211727 Kind of confusing because at first it says Muse is "lined up to perform", and then it says they're "in the running to join a star-studded line-up". I like how all of those are from Devon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I love thought of Dom miming the piano line to B&H during the opening ceremony. There is controversy about miming - I swear there was a little girl at the Olympics in Beijing who mimed to a backing track and everyone got really pissed off about it.

They got pissed because they (the Chinese gov) thought the girl that was actually singing was too ugly, so they dubbed her voice over another girl performing it. That's how my former Chinese teachers explained it to us, anyway. As for Muse, I doubt they will perform at The Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people usually perform during the opening ceremony? If just one, I'd wager it'd be Coldplay rather than Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I knew that it was miming to someone else's voice, although at the least it was miming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forevermusic Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Uprising and Map Of The Problematique are on the official playlist of songs during the opening ceremony.

Jobby Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Creep, the EastEnders theme and Firestarter. Amazing. I'm very surprised at the lack of Take That though, would've thought they'd be an obvious choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
