Live and Kicking (TV)
June 2001 - That 'New Born' performance.
Muse were introduced by Trey Farley to play New Born. "They've been called the 'Fixed Penalties', 'Black Plague', which is very very cheery isn't it, and they have been called 'Rocket Baby Dolls', but now they are just called 'Muse' and have been around since 1994. Please give it up, its a brand new single its called "New Born", this is Muse!"
Bellamy has black hair and is wearing black sunglasses. Muse infamously were told by the Tv show to mime to a shortened version of the song, as it is cut from the second verse to the final chorus. As they are miming, Howard and Wolstenholme switch instruments and Bellamy doesn't even attempt to play the guitar or piano properly throughout most of the song. Bellamy does a bit of a breakdance by spinning on the floor on his back during the final riff. The performance ends with Bellamy and Howard tangled up on the floor while Wolstenholme destroys the drum kit.
