Mew-Snow Brigade DMA



I'm thinking the DMA people probably wouldn't let them play unless it was playback... You know. TV people - scummy fakeness.

still gorgeous. ^^




Jeg er simpelthen så vild med den optræden, selvom det var playback. Jonas' stemme er fantastisk til den type musik og sneen, åh sneen! <3 Helt perfekt sammen med vinden, åh altså.




mew rules ! jonas bjerre's voice & the entire band is so amazing Come To Mexico City Please!




it's playback, but so incredebly good, dynamic and just wow :)




Is it just me or does it seem like the layered the Studio version over the "live" performance, due to the stage efectd (fake/real snow, wind machies) or do they have good filtering to remove the backround noise/static.




love <3




they added a snow effect in the stage rght?? its so perfect with the song... love mew... but in indonesia still few who knows mew... its sooo addicted actually...




this is just too great.




GREAT SONG




''I'll find you somewhere, show, you how much i can''




it sounds like he's lip synching here..cause ive heard him perform this song before..doesnt sound like that..still love them though




They do have playback, right?




Theres different types of songs its a more thoughtful singing from the heart type not some heavy metal head bashing




they normally don't do either.
but sometime the tv-station demands it.




lol his microphone is to high up XD

rock anyway. thats a good dance song

-frenger




Yeah, I agree that it is the studio track being played over. But it probably wasn't their choice. I mean, we all know Jonas can sing, so there is no reason for them to lip sync. Plus, with those fans blowing that hard, the mic would probably be picking up a lot of wind static. Oh well, still awesome!




snowsnowsnowsnowsnow look at the snoooooooooooooooooow x )




ok...
either the are reaaaaaaalyy goood in live acts... or that was a playck!
anyway.. i love that band




if i had to pick a favorite, this would be it




I'm confused. i read that they used playback for the VIDEO not live. If that's true would anyone have video or audio of the actual live performance? :S




Enchanting!




hvilked år var det ?




It's obviously a playback.. Too bad, because they are amazing live!




wow, how are they this talented




words cannot describe mew




the collest danish band ever....




hahahaha i like thier capes. this song is really good. mew is a band that is so good at creating a song with MELODY and harmony. sure you may not be able to "rock out" to this song, but the chorus in this song is so melodic and catchy.




PlayBack!




i believe it's Frengers




one of the most magical songs in the world. Just amazing. The song taken me out of the human being and out to... Mew fans call it the "mew universe"




ja det er en skam at det er playback.




I love mew. so powerful. LOVE MEW. LOVE!!!!!

XD




this is the first comment i post ever:tohtorikipu ir right about the playback, is way too obvious, but their music is amazing!!!




The snow, look at the snooow!!! XD




They are so good live and on video and on the CD. They're really nice, too, when you get to meet them.




He has the same voice in the other live concerts...




I wish I could go back in time to see them perform this song live again.




the singer looks a bit like Julian casablancas here. haha.




I like mew i have seen it many times...
Mew sounds best when they are playing in rock clubs.

check our live playing...




are you serious?




Wtf.? I get an andrenalin rush in front of my computer when the snow goes on. Omg..




<3.




he's making a "haa" breathing sound.. but I think the light makes it look like the lips are moving.. who knows ^^ :) they're damn good anyways :D




greatest band in existence.
and their greatest song




what is the name of the album?




Great Song.




The riffs and the beat is great...it's just that I'm not feeling the singer's voice for some reason




Spoken like a true critic.




sry its not




Cool video.




dam they sound good live like on their cd , mew is the shit




XD lol yup u got -2

haha s'ok il give u a +1 just for the heck of it.




Mew är riktigt jävla bra, hans röst är helt outstanding..




lllllovely




Cool old people are ... cool.




Um, theres something wrong.. I can not remembet the video was squeezed together last time i wached it?




nickraciti, jonas is a genius. nothing they've ever made is even close to being mediocre.




Friends + Strangers = Frengers




I was thinking the same thing.




JONAS.




Effects of globalization and the power of capitalism...lost of identity, inequality in trading power. its just how it is...




no problem just heard the song recently and i love it to bits really good singer, my favourite song now i know just how he feels




Is playback common/acceptable in Europe? Because I've seen it done now for Danish, French and German awards shows. =^/




Jonas looks so fragile! Like he's about to break. He doesn't seem like he should be performing at these crazy loud award shows. My opinion anyways. He looks like he's going to get swept away in the wind. What's with that wind anyways? Are they playing outside or something because if it's not I bet it's a real hindrance to the guys




100 percent. He previously had problems a award shows. I just think it's a shame, because he's a really great singer.




Oh i get it now, sorry haha.
And by the way, why did i get -1 rating? some people at youtube is so unreasonable...i didn't even insult the band or anyone- and probably i'll get -1 for this post too.




Gotta love that!




Nice:D




Thanks for the wonderfull words Labchamber :]




love them!<3 love this SONG!!




"i'll find you soMEWhere"

I fucking love Mew.




OMG!!! Jonas is so cute
Mew is love <3




Ich gerne....




this guys voice sounds like he'd dominate in a techno/electronica music style




Maybe it is because of the way this video was made(the video and audio sometimes do not agree with each other)




This is a really good song. Love it!!




most probably the coolest stage effect with the snow...




wow that girl singing is hot




great song with added snow effect...congrat for mew....




thats because this is playback.. and that really sucks, cause they are a great live band.




looks like a blizzard, cool




This video gives me multiples




i love the town tuned crunch sound guitar.




if it was live lol WOW that would be awesome




fine, had u pointed it out nicely, i would thank u, but u didnt, so i wont. none the less: is "snow brigade" particular to the DANISH culture/slang?




Listen to it. It is pretty obviously a note for note reproduction that has the same EXACT mix as the album version. The reason for that is because it is a playback. I'm not saying that Jonas can't hit those notes or that the band can't pull of it's own material. On the contray, Mew is amazing if you look at other live videos. However, NO BAND ever produces a perfect live rendition of studio material, period. There is always a "live" quality to the music This doesn't have it.




beautiful <3




That's his style; if he started jumping around the & head banging then it wouldn't be him.I like the way he sings,sort of lost in his own world..




Pure Scandivian...Awesome!!!




Probably their best song!

Fuckin love this band




i totally love this band after hearing the subways talk about them!




errr.. have you checked out the lyrics? its suppose to be snow!




yeah i just found out it was played via playback. sorry for the news guys. but still i love the energy. i love the cape lol.




ha, i was thinking the same thing..




Mew is such a great band! Jonas has an amazing voice with divinity.




genial, estos weyes tokan d webos y la rola y el video no c kedan atras, chido mew




seconded.




Yeah that was lip syncing




the more I watch this, the more I think that he is actually singing, but they are using a vocoder of some sort to perfect his notes like on the album, as well as adding the additional trademark reverberation on his voice. even still, no one can ever deny how goddamn powerful that song is. such a sick groove! heh




nice trommeslager.. :D !!




this is so fucking good




this song just heals my soul




i like (non german speakin people)




lipsync? :O




not bad for a dutch band ...




i have alot less respect for mew now =( playback are you fucking serious?




ø¤º°¨„ø¤º°¨°º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ º¤ø„¸




i love this song




omg i love it when he closes his eyes!
its so awesome!
this is a great band.




My favorite Mew Song... although they are all very good!




unbelievable... simple as that




i agree, goose bumps every time




i think there's someone suffering a seizure in the crowd from the lighting effects around the end of the song.




AWESOME




los adoroooo




they only did playback cause the DMA people probably wanted them to sound perfect




mew are so fucking good i love jonas he looks great performing live




And people, shut up already about the whole playback thing. If the matter was in their hands they obviously would have played live, BUT IT WASN'T. Get over it and enjoy the video for what it is.




They're so beautifful!!! I LOVE THEM!




thanks for the info. i understood the implication of a relentless pursuit in the song, but i just wasnt sure if the specific term was indigenous to the danes. but thanks for filling me in.




....suuuuure... ride the snake, dude....




yeah this is playback. listen to it. it sounds exactly like the record. and ive heard them play live too.




Ja!! ez el video maz mamador que e vizto! la actitud del vocalizte Mew ez d miz bandaz favoritaz :D muy buena cancion! :D
y el guitarrista esta bien idiota :D los riffs que le mete fuera de tiempo! genialez :D




Lol!!!


^^

My name is




that's a fuckin' playback!




I love the snow and their outfits.




perros de mierdaaa, son perfectos!!!




i love the town tuned crunch sound guitar.




just discovered these guys. fucking LOVIN IT!! wouldav been nice to hear them really play live tho. stupid music award shows they do it too often. is it fake? i think it might be, cant tell not 100 percent sure tho.




yeh, you can tell its mimed, but Mew do put on a sick live show. However, the fact that you even tried to string together AFI and "good" in the same idea gives away that you have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to music. In that light I hope you are either being sarcastic or are a nine year old girl.




Silas is realy good on drums..one of my favorite drummers along with peart and Wekl..i would love to watch them on a live session!:D




A great give away is the lack of interference despite the MASSIVE wind machines...




Wind machines and microphones don't mix too well.




i understand why there have choose to take playback. Jonas is not so good to sing live. And THAT is so sad, i allways hoping that it be a good live show, when im seeing him on Tv, live. I dont want him to be sad.




that sucks!!!




they're so good live . :]




Yeah playback sucks ass but WHOA! That was the coolest thing I've ever seen. Srsly. The chills are still running down my spine.




It stands for Danish Music Awards:)




jeg har let efter den her koncert li siden jeg så den første gang den gang jeg var 13.. det helt vildt!




oohhhhh... i thoght that mew wouldn't do lipsync ^__


^

I love this song, some of their other stuff is stupid though.




I love the stage effects




Original!

I´ll paint this sentence (friends + strangers = FRENGERS) in my T-Shirt!!




lol its a guy. u think he's hot? sexual confusion aside though, looks like an awesome concert.




VERY Great Song! One of my Favorites!!!

But it was Playback! He can never Sing so Exactly!




I luuurve this song.. But I think this is a lip synch (it's identical to the album version.)

Anyway, what a great song, eh?




det er så fantastisk. Man kan næsten ikke forklare andre der ikke har hørt mew, hvordan det er. Det er som at være beruset, når man hører dem. Man er i et helt andet univers. -Så fantastisk.




AWESOME video :o




powerful




It wasnt lipsync at the actual concert, but for yourtube thay put their recorded song over it...




I meant 'lol' to Feetzie's miss understanding about the lyrics, and thought it was funny that MJaaayPeer corected (?) him/her and added so manny of this = !!!!. :P




you cant really tell its playback because of
everyones energy.
but still, theyre amazing.




How do you call this a good performance? The guy isn't even moving one bit, even though he's playbacking. The wind is nothing really special. I like their songs though, but this is a tad disappointing.




HUH!? SERIOUS!? damn that's really sad!




why the hell is it so windy in danemark?




this song got that magic noone can explaine. Fantastic.




One of the best bands in the world, to bad it is playback... they're to damn good live to use playback.




they didnt use a playback live, only for the video.




T%&here porbaly is a good reason for the playback here... It's the Danish Music awards (which genereally suck ass cause of the danish pop music scene) and rules of how the "live" performece have to bee done, since it will be on live national tv, in DK.




Usually at Music awards, everyone lipsyncs.
It's a weird thing, but many shows do it for various reasons.




I like this band, but i think in this performance their not playing, just recording their song....coz it sounds pretty same....so....




This must be my favorite video on YouTube.




omg. i am in love.




I'll give you a hint -- whenever you see a vocalist covering his mouth with the microphone or his hand (or both), he is probably likely lip-syncing. Especially if the live version sounds exactly like the recording, intro and all.

Nevertheless, Mew is awesome and makes some great records. And they look very Scandinavian too.




fucking awesome! look at Jonas's eyes. I love when he singing with his close eyes.




is there an official video of snow brigade?




et af de bedste numre :I




This is a fucking playback... Ugh.




This does sound an awful lot like the studio version. As in, can't hear any difference at all :(




playback =(




SOMEONE has chopped of their dick.




freaking amazing




err... what do you mean?




haha, cool.




min favoritt sang..jeg hører på den om igjen og om igjen..<3




"I'll find you somewhere, show you how much I care" !!!!!




luv the song, but wtf is a "snow brigade"? is that lost in translation or something? is a snow brigade a common dutch saying?




i really dont understand why some bands have to play their album versions over their performance. It sounds better but its not why you pay money for a ticket. You want a new experience even if it doesnt sound quite as good.




Awsome




What is DMA?




The video, yes.
Live, no.




Gotta luv'em. Making us danes proud.




Sorry, it is.




Arbejdsdrengen bekendte Dane , Jeg er Brazilian OG levende henne ved den blevet af den Tocantins , nå i Palmas. Jeg er heri benytter um oversætter til at sige end den er hen til den sig MEW er umas JEG forbedret sporgruppe af den Lande. JEG skærme den musik MICA al i dag! JEG elske at musik! Oprigtig talt , troede end den er hen til den stemme af den Jonathan det var det en i den JEG forbedret stemmer af den gynge han virker! Ubestrideligt!




I'll find you somewhere show you how much i can xD. Oh this is my fave song.




they are still incredible live, this was mostly for effect, like a live music video




and i thought the wind blowing effect's cliche....
they made it cool...

mew's the shit




Who said it was a playback? O.O




really cool stage lighting and wind effect - gives the song much more power and the performance much more excitement. otherwise jonas would look totally bored standing in the same place singing without moving.




but why the quality is bad?? ~~




Love this song so much.




i love thi band and vocal:)




Sorry man but, I'm pretty sure this is a playback...




Who fuckin cares if its playback.....the song is amazing lol !!




Why do you say that mean stuff about them? It okay that you think some of Mews stuff is stupid, but keep it to yourself dude.




Jonas would never lipsync!!




or maybe they was lucky? xD




Oh I didn't think about that




a Snow is a type of ship used from the 16th-19th century it was the best ship of its time so hes saying you cant hide from me i will find you with my Snow Brigade




playback?? haha, well, I love the tune.




Silas is mine




Five stars




this is so strong!




i like this music alot
even though i listen to metal mostly
but this music is really speacial
like it alot
=)




great music girlwhodrankstars message me back lol..




Isn't it just the light that makes it look like his lips are moving? To me, it looks like he has his mouth open, but he isn't singing. And I think he knows the song good enough not to sing at that point. :)




this is so great, Im watching it the 58 527th time now :P I love their music the wind in this preformance omg its just amazing!

thanks for puttting this up!

xx




I can hardly imagine a life without mew. In the last few years their music has meant a huge part of my life. Mew is magical, enchanting, mysterious, beautiful and touching. You can not describe their music. It's just very unique. I hope there is a person quite like Jonas to me, when I become an adult ^w^" Proud to be Danish.




awesome live sound :|




I love mew, they are unique and inventive.




cool but I think he was lipsinking




i love his voice




perhaps one of there best performances. Brilliant!




ahahahahahah




playback




lol they're not dutch theyre danish lawl Btw snowbrigad e my favorite mew song


^^

This is nearly giving me an orgasm




agreed. Just because they have to do playback here doesn't mean they -can't- perform well live. I still have just as much respect for them because they're still awesome performers.




This si probably lip sync ... but I don't care.
This is giving me goose bumps every time I watch it.
<3 .




plyaback or no playback, its a cool video, love the effects, love the song, and damn mew is hot!

what more can i say :]




nope




the best band in Denmark EVER! and i just love Jonas in this video!




great copy of this!! thanks so much!!




I love the snooooow, in the end!!!!! Aaaah! So cool and ..I have no words for this




Fuck DMA, Mew sounds perfect, either way!




Frengers




yeah they're faking it guys... wow you kids should get a life and stop tyring to put down people who have made it better than you scrubs ever will




I love the whispering overdub bit near the end. Very epic.




my favourite song of Mew, but the others are at least as good....




i think they played it live (at the show) but tv2 thoose to make it a playback (on tv)




I have seen Mew live two times and he has a voice tahat sonds precicly like that. I don't know if that was real, but the concer was, and that was amazing. I falling in love whit Mew and JONAS<3




I know it's playback, but that was just too cool.




this is too good. TOO DAMN GOOD!




Erm,they're not Dutch,they're Danish.Get your facts right.




wut happened 2 the screen notin like tht last time




Yeah, because Jonas unfortunately have a hard time reaching high notes live at these events. What a shame.




This song is amazing




One of the best of their songs to juxtapose the delicacy of Jonas' voice and their mastery of lyrical wall-of-sound. Voices of Valkyries over the storm.




"Alle med endetallet, 6, 7, 8 eller 9 kan stemme nu" ;)

Men tak for uploadet - 5 stjerner!




You guys are probably going to swear off this band after reading this - but I'm in my 50s, and Mew makes me wish I was young enough to hit the stage again. They're fantastic.




AFI sounds like shit on the cd, so i cant imagine how shitty theyd sound live.
Mew, however, kicks ass.




love this vid

I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens.
Woody Allen




playback fo sho




mew are really good i like them!




POWWERFUL BAND




great song




this video is awesome. even though it is dubbed i'm sure it sounded good live cuz mew is a good band! these people are just kinda sittin there tho.. i woulda went crazy! i love this song and the blizzard on stage looks so cool.




Jonas, canta hermonso no me importa si es con playback o en vivo, i love it! xD




at 2.08 he's moving his lips. but theres no lyrics




yeahhh they're too good for a live band for playback. i find it somewhat annoying.




Must love them




Frengers, not chicken fingers




hmm.maybe good point..and to the other kid..DMA is danish music awards




this is my favorite song from these guys. I just wish i could hear the actual live sound- not the studio cut over the live footage.




totally sounds like the original, but still good :)




too bad its just the recording and they are not actually playing the song... whats the deal with that anyways???




i read in other comments they used playback for the video... not live.




awesome




It is evident to me that Mew and AFI should never be compared together side by side, mew is amazing, AFI could eat poo and i wouldnt care




The Light is cool.
