The Rock Dose

Muse Refuses to Lipsync, Hilarity Ensues

Posted: 28 Sep 2009 03:31 PM PDT

British rockers Muse were recently featured on the Italian TV show Quelli Che Il Calcio, and were informed before their performance that they had to lip sync their performance. The band decided that if the nutjob producers wanted to give the audience a fake show, they would be more than happy to comply.

As Muse took the stage, they took their places… but something was wrong. The music to their song “Uprising” began, but wait, was that (singer, guitarist, keyboardist) Matthew Bellamy on drums? Yep. Bassist Christopher Wolstenholme on keyboard and guitars? Check. And taking the stage as vocalist was drummer Dominic Howard. I don’t think that the audience had any clue what they were seeing, but it is an absolutely hilarious mock performance, with Matthew Bellamy really hamming it up on the drums.

The producers of the show should be ashamed of themselves. Check out the clip below.
