I didn't get that Muse performance, supr. They were purposely being cheesy cause they WERE playing to a track? Eh, not that cool, kinda whack.

[Bob]

From what I remember, the show told them they couldn't play the song themselves, even though they wanted to.

So as a kind of "fuck you" to the show, they didn't take it at all seriously.
The bassist and drummer even switched instruments.

[atila]

lol i didn't notice that..

[apoc]

Beck - Clap Hands
Sarah Kuttner Show (I don't know what this is)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=NXiTnsSn9wU

I was looking for the SNL version of this, but the people at NBC are huge knobs and removed it from the internet. This is a similar performance from another show. It's still cool but doesn't have quite the energy that the SNL one had + in that one they combined it with an old song called One Foot in the Grave at the end, which was the best part.

[ant]

Ill add Sigur Ros doing hoppipolla on Jools Holland

It's amazing how these guys manage to project the same feeling live as they do recorded. Perfect.

One year while watching the X-Games, Ben Harper played live. Ive never been able to find that clip, but it was amazing. It was the first time I ever heard them. Anyone see/have this?

[alex paul]

ATD-I doing one armed scissor on "Later with Jools Holland". now, the song sounds like shit pretty much, but it was ridiculously awesome because jools holland is normally a hell of a lot more chilled out than this, and these afroed freaks probably pissed a lot of people off. the cherry of this performance is when cedric smashes up a chair that was going to be sat on by uber-cock robbie williams in the next song while he crooned a power-ballad, you dont see his expression in this video though

edit: still no embedding?well cock me anyway : http://www.youtube.com/v/ZagV69HujUY&rel=1

à la Nirvana's pseudo-performance on Tops of Pops.

Wait, what the fuck is that even supposed to mean?

[ryan]

it means they wanted to play live, but the show told them they had to fake it and 'play' along with teh track

[lambchopthis]

Ohhhhhhh

That's bullshit. I would have played it anyways, or walked out.
