Seaking Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 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. He means the mics on the drums and on the amp(s). I wholeheartedly agree with your display picture by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 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. I think he means if they recorded a "live" version and then played it back, which is probably true. The guitar parts sound pretty different from the original. At least in some parts.

I don't know. It was cleared up, but yeah I meant more the drums and amp. I'm going to bet most who are just in it for the spectacle wouldn't have noticed a difference if there was an effort to properly mic a kit or not. Guess who wasn't shown on NBC?

We Want The Cup Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hey fellow Americans... NBC is showing a LONGER broadcast of the closing ceremony later... Probably on NOW for east coasters. I am thinking Muse might be on that. I'll be recording for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kueller Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 That makes no sense. It did sound different but it almost seems as though you didn't finish your first sentence. I'm confused. The guitar was mimed, but the track the used wasn't the studio version. EDIT: Make me double post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Rabbit Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 WTF? A Slowpke colored Psyduck? I'm sorry for being late to the party. I was looking forward to watching it on the TV and singing along. Ah...well. At least I got to see it on the stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking Muse might be on that. I'll be recording for sure. That's what I'm hoping. That's why I set up both broadcasts to be recorded. Muse got screwed over. They should've been shown in primetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I already accepted the truth, I just wanted to see for myself. The recording they used was more close to a live one, though, wasn't it? Btw, Matt's singing was very good considering it was their first performance in a year and the first performance of a new song, and considering that the song is challenging. This will be a beast live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kueller Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Eh, watching it again I see a lot more the weak points in the vocals, even if it was a year off. But I'm sure that had a lot to with nerves and the like. Still not sold on the song live, since it's the instrumentation that will count more and none of that was actually live. Also, on an unrelated note my computer is running at 75% CPU. The fuck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma-kun Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Haven't watched it since the ceremony, but Matt didn't have his usual Neumann mic did he? And in addition, no equipment for vocal filtering and effects. But what's that about people saying their in-ear monitors didn't work? Is that just because Matt was off-key and they need an excuse?

Jetro Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 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. I am sure the choir was. It sounded exactly like the studio version. All of the song did, except for the vocals. The 3 big notes Matt all hit and well. No, the end note was not on, and slightly painful to hear.

Killer Rabbit Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I don't think I've ever seen an Olympic broadcaster fuck up as badly as NBC did in the past few weeks. They've effectively killed the enjoyment of pretty much everyone in the entire country. Yep! NBC = National Broadcasting Cunts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabriPav Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Okay, after watching the pro-shot multiple times, his vocals were good except from the YESSA'M GONNA WIIIIIIIIIIIIIN at 2:37. The last falsetto is way better It will still be insane live, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabriPav Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Dominic Anderson @domanderson666 @Fehertwit that's because u were watching on NBC! Without doubt the absolute worst coverage of any Olympic games ever, anywhere, ever!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Jesus, give them a break guys. It was their first live performance for almost a year of a song Matt has never sung live before in front of a humongous global audience - some way to make your return.

The last falsetto is way better It will still be insane live, though. That was my first impression aswell. The first Bb4 was good, though it felt like it was maybe a tiny bit off, the first falsetto was quite shaky at start but he saved it pretty well and the last one was more or less spot on.
