Soul II soul had the right idea walking out when they were told they had to mime and they never went back to perform Back II life

@portcullis5622 Год назад

Many artists did it on purpose, as a protest or just pissing about. For example, Ian Anderson during Jethro Tull's 'Witch's Promise'. I think The Stranglers once mimed without strings and Oasis' Gallagher brothers swapped places in mid-song! In 1996, The Eels performed 'Novocaine for the Soul' with toy instruments (before smashing them up at the end)! Then, in 1988, there was All About Eve, who just sat there for what seemed like an age (and looked like a protest), but actually they couldn't hear the soundtrack to mime to. They played live the following week and sounded great, proving that the whole miming thing was an unnecessary nonsense.

What did Anderson do during Witch's Promise? He always acts frenetic and fun, even today, so it's hard to tell much difference.

Terry Hall often took the piss and would start grinning when called upon to mime.

@bobcaruthers4427 2 месяца назад

Some artists did this sort of thing to protest not being able to perform live. I seem to recall one band saying they wore boxing gloves to emphasise that they weren't really playing.

@millerhxc Год назад

I love that Eels performance. Mark may have seemed "unenthusiastic" but that's kind of his normal delivery. I think the whole toy playing fit the style of song perfectly. They wanted to put on a performance..and they did.

@jekw23 Год назад

Yep, fits their style. I see nothing wrong with that one.

@ZacabebOTG Год назад

Kurt Cobain made a fantastic Morrissey impression in that performance. It's hilarious.

Why did TOTP force the artists to lip sync? 🤐

@domenickmacri7936 Год назад

True. What's the purpose of live music then

@chriggle1 8 месяцев назад

Because the acoustics in the studio were terrible

I remember when REM’s lead singer sung in to a load speaker in protest of being told to lip sync.

@manatarms7652 Год назад

I can’t believe “no more heroes” by the stranglers wasn’t even mentioned. That performance was legendary. 😂

@experi-mentalproductions5358 Год назад

They messed that up on purpose tho, so I don't think it counts...

It wasn`t TOTP.

@shi8457 Год назад

Not surprised most of the American bands (and Oasis lol) made a mockery of it. Only saying as one who grew up in that whole mix, they were asking musicians who were real musicians to mime. Of course, they are not going to play along & rebel against it. Very sure they saw it as a sell-out moment & industry insult to not perform live.

@yadielenielbellecolon982 Год назад

Thank For The Video 💞💗

@art.of.verser Год назад

Really? Pretty sure Nirvana and Oasis had their own way of giving the big ol middle finger due to the show's commitment to miming altogether, which they obviously didn't appreciate. Those performances are all the better for it.

@WatchMojoUK Год назад

@ResidentRob 11 месяцев назад

I honestly don't know why TOTP didn't just lean into people goofying around on stage, it was far more fun. I feel sorry for All About Eve, at the time they got criticized when really them missing the queue (and being made to mime at all) wasn't their fault. The funny thing was that was the first time I'd heard Nirvana, not realzing Kurt was dorking around my first thought was "Why would anyone listen to this shit?"

Does no one ever sing live on that show?

@darrenwilson99 Год назад

This show went through phases of allowing live singing, not allowing it, or letting the band choose.

@JulianHBurchill Год назад

Well it doesn't exist any more (ended in 2006), but the policy changed over the years, and a few bands stamped their feet enough to be allowed to perform live. There was a period in I think the mid 90s when they actually insisted on live vocals at the very least, although obviously a lot of bands didn't perform, but they'd show music videos.
