REBEL TO PLAYBACK, LIP SYNC, or whatever it is called

During my last holiday at june, I spent most of my time in Pekanbaru, Indonesia

Almost every morning I watch various of Indonesia Music Shows. I only remember one of the shows name, Its called "dahsyat". A lot of band perform in this shows, however many of them performing Lip sync or using playback. WHAT THE HELL!!

Music is not just a performance, it is not just for shows, not only for enjoyment

It is a message, and also emotion. There is no way you can shows true emotion or send the right message of the song to your audience if you performing Lip Sync or using Playback.

Its better for them just to hear your music from Tape, CD, or Mp3 if you perform like that.

The following video I'm gonna shows you is a band (MUSE) which understand completely how emotion and message of music should be delivered, how can it be theatrical and not just ordinary shows. In those video, MUSE was asked to perform in the shows using playback or Lip Sync. However they know how to fight this kind of shows that wants playback performance.

MUSE-UPRISING

In this video, they supposed to perform "uprising" using playback. they retaliate in a funny way, they switch position with each other.
Matt: Vocal + Guitar + Keyboard > Drum +Backing Vocal
Chris: Bass + Backing Vocal > Keyboard + Guitar
Dom: Drum > Vocal + Bass


Dom even make joke of the emcee during the interview after the playback performance.


MUSE-NewBorn

This was years ago. They were asked to perform Playback, and again they switch position during the performance.


There are some of other performance where they somehow have to perform playback and they always retaliate in various ways. Other than switching position, they also sometimes give "the finger" to the camera or scream like hell. Matt even did a breakdance together with his manson guitar during a playback, LOL. You can search them on youtube.




SAY NO TO PLAYBACK, LIP SYNC or Whatever it is called
REBEL, RETALIATE.
Don't let those ignorance businessmen turn music into a mere showbiz.

Padi-Rapuh

Somehow I really want to hear this song again n again....

Padi-Rapuh




here is the lyrics and chords for this song...
Intro: Cmaj7 G (4x)

D F#m
Kularut luruh dalam keheningan hatimu
Bm Gm A
Jatuh bersama derasnya tetes air mata
D F#m
Kau benamkan wajahmu yang berteduhkan duka
Bm Gm A
Melagukan kepedihan didalam jiwamu

Reff: D Bm
Tak pernah terpikirkan olehku
Em F#7
Untuk tinggalkan engkau seperti ini
D Bm
Tak terbayangkan jikaku beranjak pergi
Em F#7
Betapa hancur dan harunya hidupmu

D F#m
Sebenarnya ku tak ingin berada disini
Bm Gm A
Ditempat jauh yang sepi memisahkan kita
D F#m
Kuberharap semuanya pasti akan berbeda
Bm Gm
Meski tak mungkin menumbuhkan jiwa itu lagi

Reff: D Bm
Dan tak pernah terpikirkan olehku
Em F#7
Untuk tinggalkan engkau seperti ini
D Bm
Tak terbayangkan jikaku beranjak pergi
Em F#7
Betapa hancur dan harunya hidupmu

Int: Bm A F#m G F# (2x)
G Bm (2x)

G Bm
Aku tak mengerti apa yang mungkin terjadi
G Bm G
Sepenuh hatiku aku tak mengerti
