This is hilarious. MUSE went on Italian TV and were told that they had to lip-sync their song. MUSE then decided they’d switch up their instruments and singer Matt Bellamy ends up on drums, bassist Chris Wosltenholme is on guitar and syths and drummer Dominic Howard is on bass and lead vocals. Bellamy’s performance on drums alone is priceless, it seems the Italian audience has no idea whats up. Oasis actually pulled this same trick a few years back, but not as effectively:
In case you didn’t already know, Muse are one of the Top 3 best live bands on the planet, which means that this will be one hell of a Live DVD. If you needed any confirmation there are 5 clips from the DVD on Youtube, below I’ll post the 2 best ones…

With the April 1st release of Muse’s new live DVD, HAARP, the band has set up five special screenings of the new DVD around the country for fans and press to attend which will coincide with the release of the DVD. Check out the complete list of screening locations below.
Muse will release a super-limited HAARP DVD/CD Special Edition containing full video and audio sets from the band’s command performances at Wembley Arena on June 16th and 17th 2007. The set also contains a rare set of 3 postcards and exclusive backstage footage of the band. With only 1,000 copies available, this is a must have for any Muse fanatic and is only available online at the Warner Bros. record store!
Filmed at London’s Wembley Stadium on June 17, 2007, the DVD captures the exuberant spectacle of the band performing in front of a sold-out crowd of nearly 75,000 ecstatic fans. The CD features audio from the band’s show on the previous night, June 16th. The power-trio’s performance style can be described as a potent blend of Pink Floyd’s arresting stage show with the bombast of U2 firing on all cylinders! Both discs include tracks from their latest album, Black Holes and Revelations, including Modern Rock chart hits “Knights of Cydonia,” “Starlight,” and “Supermassive Black Hole.”
