HannahG123 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 As what others have mentioned, they recorded a live version and that was played back (The Who did the same (and elbow I suppose) ) still sounded great though also Morgan getting a higher billing than Muse was brilliant Me and my sister kept shouting MORGAN! at the screen whenever we saw him was awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Are you saying it didn't sound like a studio recording or it didn't sound like THE studio recording? Like THE studio recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaking Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Like THE studio recording. Ya I think what the person a few posts above me said is correct. They recorded a "live" version (I wonder how many takes it took) and then played that back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foldingstars Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 too long. But they aren't looking that bad anymore! There's been some improvement since R/L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zolic Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I really want a properly mixed version of the performance, the mid-section sounds so incredibly lame because matts vocals almost disappears and everything sounds very low and far away.

muse maniac Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Must of been so arkward for matt trying to remenber exactly how the play back goes, pretending to play it and singing at the same time. He probably would of found it easier just playing. Were the other musicians miming?

I know there's a few artists who are also skipped but Muse were pretty high profile yet mentions of them seem very rare in the British Media. ...ah finally, The Sun mentions them: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/olympics/4484394/Dazzling-Games-closing-ceremony-thrills-millions.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furygirl Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Wow, at least they US pubs have mentioned the OMISSION of Muse from the coverage. Probably because they haven't heard Survival yet and don't realize what a complete embarrassment it supposedly is. For the record, it's not embarrassing.

Ryoma-kun Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Quote from comment on dailymail article: "very good however who told the guy from the muse that he could sing? he's either deaf or has a sense of humour If McCartney (with his age- ravaged voice) was bad, there is no word in any language known to man which describes how painful the muse vocal was" Auch, that's really harsh! It wasn't THAT bad... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryoma-kun Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 lol, dailymail And actually he sang good. I keep changing my opinion about the performance every other time I listen to it. Depends on my mood really. But I just can't keep getting myself to enjoy that second verse really. Too many bum-notes from what I'm used to from Matt... First verse and chest-note is good though, same goes for last falsetto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryoma-kun Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Look for the audience recordings, there it sounded very good. The TV broadcast had the worst sound quality I've ever heard. Yes, I agree. The mix was totally completely off, and to Matt's defense, all artists sounded crap during that ceremony. Whether the audience recordings just aren't good enough to pick up the bum-notes or it's the TV-mix that made them stand out unfairly much, I'm not sure...

Niall Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Just thought it was rather weird to have such a huge performance missing. Maybe they were all watching NBC...

HannahG123 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 no comment = nothing bad to say about them in most cases and the cheast note made up for any bum notes he did later since I didn't think he would even atempt it. Plus being flat was due to adreniline and nerves I bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoma-kun Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 My bet is that he intended Survival to be played half a step down. I can't really see how he'll keep singing it in original key if it's going to become a regular. It's really too much of a strain for him and tbh, I think it'll sound better when it isn't as forced as it was now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
