Don't ask Muse to mime.

Because they will take the piss. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5X6TyxlaJtE] Regardless of whether you like their music or not, you've gotta respect their attitude to live performances.

For discussion: lip syncing, miming, call it what you will, but how much does it annoy you?

For any who don't know what it is, the TV station plays the track straight off the CD in the studio and the band acts as though they're actually playing it live.

There are more examples of them doing this, my personal favourite is this one [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZ3-74AuVGM], mostly for Matt Bellamy's drummming skills (or lack thereof).

I have totally no idea what this thread is about.

Do they mime, or do they not mime? In the video he wasn't even touching the keys on his piano... thingy.

It's about the fact that they do mime but they take the piss out of the TV station for asking them to.

For example they put the singer on drums, or he flips off the entire crowd whilst singing the line: "they made a big mistake".

Oh, I saw that quite a while back. They were beaten to the punch by nearly 2 decades though.

I like Muse. You have to respect their live performances too. One of the most mind-blowing shows I've ever been to.

I don't like miming honestly. I like the live versions of most shows. Loud, feedback, all the crap. Love it.
