Information
Muse performed Uprising on the Quelli Che il Calcio morning programme. The performance was fully mimed from playback, and after performing Dom was briefly interviewed by the shows host.
In somewhat similar fashion to the the Ipswich Big Sunday appearance in 2000 (which was also a mimed performance), the band members switched places with each other; Dom mimed lead vocals and feigned bass, Chris feigned guitar and keyboard, and Matt feigned percussion and backing vocals.[2] The host also incorrectly introduced the band as "The Muse".
The performance has since become infamous among fans of the band, mostly due the band's deliberately poor miming which produced predictably hilarious results. The performance can be watched here.
Interview
Q: So your new album (The Resistance) it's been completely recorded between Milan and the lake of Como... you love our country, why you love Italy??
A: It's a beautiful country, we love to be here.. and our drummer Matt lives in Como, so we built a studio in Italy, we had a lot of fun.... you can have a lot of creativity!
Q: I know that one of you has an italian girlfriend, a psychologist... right?
A: Yeah, our drummer..
Q: What is better? Clooney's house or the drummer's house??
A: I think George's is better... it is huge....
Q: I had read that you love simphonic music, you have a 40 pieces orchestra here in Milan, why this mix between rock music and orchestral music?
A: The band had a kind of influence by the piano and artists such as Chopin and Rachmaninov so we tried tho take an orchestra to do something different from the past... it's been amazing
Q: You talk a lot about apocalypse and real problems, your album came out on 9/11... don't think it's just a coincidence..
A: Oh no it's just a coincidence.. someone thinks about a conspiracy but we are in a different time, the world is different and there were no messages with the album release date.
