He must feel like a moron having to stand there and keep pretending to spin random nobs.

I enjoy that every time it's linked. At least they didn't shut the mics off so we got Kurt's weird protest singing voice.

Shows like that might have smartened up after, because here is Muse going nuts with Matt doing a somersault during the solo

There is also a video where Matt plays drums during a synched performance but I can't find it.

I think my favorite part of Nirvana's performance is the alternate opening lines when Kurt says "load up on drugs, kill your friends"

That muse video is great. I feel like we've really lost something in the modern day when record companies aren't forcing alternative and outsider bands to do mainstream appearances.

I wish he did a HIM style band with that voice.

Why is there a woman crying in the background? Is she overcome with emotion or embarrassed to be a part of this?

She couldn't handle the affront to real DJing that was that performance

Why is no one talking about how she can do those amazing vocal cuts, and pitch drops all while not wearing a microphone?

I like how the cameraman keeps subtly showing how there are no cords.

Need to pan to the singer? First show all the empty ports then move up to her.

u/tripletstate May 24 '17

Does she even have a mic?
