Best of luck with that, as their live performance was before the televised ceremony started (though there's a bit of T.a.T.u. as background music in the main ceremony too).
I love how Alex points at Matt after he says "your shoulders are frozen" and "you're an explosion" for his answers saying "cold as the night" and "you're dynamite". Super cool.
If only this were 2018 Alex performing. Regardless of what you think of the music he's making now, you can't deny he's become so much more confident as a musician and his stage presence reflects that.
I’d say he’s very confident here, but c’mon who wouldn’t be nervous performing at the olympics it’s not a Normal gig and it’s broadcast on TV to over a billion people.
@@lily-xj3hv can't imagine anyone having to play the olympic stadion not being nervous tbh. besides, on top of those thousands of people attending, it's being aired all across the globe. this is the highest achievable place where you could be playing, if you ask me!!
That year, a couple of months before the Olympics I went to their concert in my city, watching them playing in the most important event in the whole world and remembering I was less than 10 meters from those same faces, listening the same song felt unreal and still feels unreal
this is popluar music, so its 'pop music'. I know what you mean but AM is very poppy, and pop is good. Sadly most people turned away from good pop music
I really like how they are all efficiently dressed for a serious occasion and then there's just Matt Helders (drummer) in a Union Jack onesie/tracksuit P.s. I know its bcs the overall design would make it easier for all he movement but I just find it funny bcs the whole design is all bcs he is a funny person and he usually wears normal clothes anyway 😂
No. The bassist isn't an original member and didn't play on the studio version of this track or the rest of the debut album. They were famous by that stage as well.
The-Wild-Eye Gaming yes there apparently was, alex was too shy to sing so a friend called glyn jones was the frontman. But he wasnt commited so was asked to leave but that was even before they started gigging
Stop making the eyes at me I'll stop making the eyes at you What it is that surprises me Is that I don't really want you to And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night) Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite) Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-oh I bet that you look good on the dance floor I don't know if you're looking for romance or I don't know what you're looking for I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984 Well, from 1984 I wish you'd stop ignoring me Because you're sending me to despair Without a sound, yeah, you're calling me And I don't think it's very fair That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night) Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite) Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-oh I bet that you look good on the dance floor I don't know if you're looking for romance or I don't know what you're looking for I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984 Well, from 1984 Oh, there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets Just banging tunes and DJ sets and Dirty dance floors and dreams of naughtiness Well, I bet that you look good on the dance floor I don't know if you're looking for romance or I don't know what you're looking for I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984 Said, from 1984

LOL
I've never seen Alex so nervous and so hyped playing IBYLGOTDF. It's a whole other persona
12 years later, they’re still one of the best British bands
-one of- the best

Tbhc is really good i guess
I’d say he’s very confident here, but c’mon who wouldn’t be nervous performing at the olympics it’s not a Normal gig and it’s broadcast on TV to over a billion people.
I'd say he just gets higher
He performed pretty confident here but he should’ve made the margaritas before the show 😅
Tranquility is such an underrated album is not even funny
Helders is that kind of guy that you just know is cool as heck.

This is better lol
Nah..
Every time I watch this I get so proud
When Alex stood up at Matt’s drum set why did I think they were gonna kiss lol
i was 7 and didn’t know who they were. i’m now 17 and saw them live last week
Best Olympic openings ever

I love these guys. They’re becoming iconic British music.
Matt was really have max energy
The energy!!! What legends!!!!
This is so hot.
Are they all the original band members? They all look sooo different from when this song was first released
C P Yeah they're the original line up, in the early days before they hit fame there was a few different members. But yea they are the original
No. The bassist isn't an original member and didn't play on the studio version of this track or the rest of the debut album. They were famous by that stage as well.
Only the bassist was replaced.
leonardo h no I swear there was an extra member but he left shortly after the first album
The-Wild-Eye Gaming yes there apparently was, alex was too shy to sing so a friend called glyn jones was the frontman. But he wasnt commited so was asked to leave but that was even before they started gigging
The best band ever
Stop making the eyes at me
I'll stop making the eyes at you
What it is that surprises me
Is that I don't really want you to
And your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-oh
I bet that you look good on the dance floor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or
I don't know what you're looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984
I wish you'd stop ignoring me
Because you're sending me to despair
Without a sound, yeah, you're calling me
And I don't think it's very fair
That your shoulders are frozen (cold as the night)
Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite)
Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand
And lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang-oh

Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
Well, from 1984
Oh, there ain't no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Just banging tunes and DJ sets and
Dirty dance floors and dreams of naughtiness
Well, I bet that you look good on the dance floor
