Muse performed their new single “Uprising” on an Italian TV show recently and were told they had to lip sync the performance, so the band gave them what they wanted. Lead singer and guitarist “Matthew Bellamy” decided to fake the drums while the real drummer “Dominic Howard” took on vocal duties. Bassist Christopher Wolstenholme “played” the guitar and Keyboards.
Check out the hilarious performance right here.

whoever produces that show IS A FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!
I think this was one of their better live performances.
FF, r u kidding me? how can u say that? That pissed me off after seeing the clip
Lighten up….they took shitty situation and turned it into more shit.
Bellamy his hilarious on those drums hahaha.
Haha. Niice.
The lyrics of the song fit perfectly with this situation.
And yeah, the drumming is LFAO
That’s hilarious.
Priceless
I agree Kalt thats exactly what i was thinking.
makes me think of nirvana’s performance on top of the pops haha…
Oh Nick, you and your Nirvana. haha
That is absolutely hilarious. The show’s producers were being jerks, so they decided to have some fun with it. How often do bands ever get to pull off a stunt like that and still sound good? At the same time, why would any producers bother to bring in live entertainment if they’re not going to let them perform live? It defeats the purpose.
This is fantastic. My respect for Muse just went up 100%.
I’m glad to see a band actually having fun.
Ahahaha! Love it!
To quote the great flyfreak 1942-Several posts ago
“EPIC!”
this is so awesome and funny all at the same time ha
I am not a big fan of the Muse, but this was the best idea for this crappy scenario. Awesome/hilarious job, guys.
LOL, the “lead singer” and “drummer” are forcing back tears of laughter.
is it me or is there a trend here> Flyfreak must be the most negitive commenter on TL, 90% of all comments on all issues are negitive. Tell me Flyfreak what band do you actually enjoy or show respect !
If you think Flyfreak is serious then you’ve missed the point.
opie, I’m the most positive and upbeat member of TL.
I love it! After being dissapointed in Muse’s new album (which I never thought I would say because I absolutely love them!) It is good to see that they are at least supporting the lyrics they are singing… I mean how appropriate is this song for the situation.
This gave me a good laugh, I like that they don’t have to take themselves so seriously all the time.
