Shows how far MTV's quality has fallen <laugh>

Do they still even show music videos anymore? Or is it all reality bullshit now?

Radiohead for certain. Though their more experimental stuff might be trickier...

I posted that Oasis one, but I'd like to see Noel do another one with his solo work and later Oasis stuff. Weller too.

An Arctic Monkeys one would probably be quite good too.

I would like to see any of them do a set with the microphones unplugged, just hearing their natural voices. Wouldn't be a pleasant experience with a lot of them.
Can't remember who it was but there was an unplugged session where the lead singer was on an acoustic but the lead guitarist was using an electric one. Which was rather odd.
 
I'm not saying my wife's ugly, but last night she went next door to tell them to keep the noise down and she came back with some Haribo...

Unplugged doesn't actually mean unplugged, it just means completely stripped back, so they generally still have mic's and the guitar/bass plugged in.

So they aren't unplugged? Why not call it "----- appears stripped back?". I accept the mics still plugged in as unless you are an Al Jolson or Pavarotti no one would hear you. Still when a "live" performance can mean that they aremaybe there but are miming (not any of the ones mentioned in the thread...)

I was making the point if they were indeed unplugged most would sound pretty poor without a mic. On documentaries about groups like the Hollies, a great live band and Abba most of them didn't sound very good when you heard them singing direct in the studio but they sounded great when you heard what was coming out through the mic.

Surely that is spelling not grammar? You have to wonder how that made it to production without anyone noticing.
Maybe they have a boss who has told them he will remove from the premises anyone pointing out typos, grammar errors or spelling mistakes?

Maybe no one knew it was wrong. There was a protest a while ago about the importance of higher education and the effect cuts may have and at the front was a banner saying " Don't use sicssors on higher education budgets".
 
I've always taken "unplugged" to mean acoustic, and in some cases, yeah stripped back as Lambo says.

I can't imagine a Kraftwerk "unplugged" would be too great.
