[words taken from melody maker - video of the week] Once more around the block for this single, and with the re-release we get to see the band doing the rounds on the summer's festival circuit (but not t in the park - the blond period remains absent). singer matt bellamy has a snarly, not particularly genuine grin on his face, jerking his head back and forth like a chicken and fluttering his hands by the sides of his head, th*m-ishly. jumping around with a billy idol snarl on his face, matt starts throwing instruments and mic stands around, while the audience gets on with crowd surfing. in between shots of destruction, we get to see the band backstage, filling their shirts with air. at one point onstage, bass player chris appears to throw up. matt hurls his guitar through the air. the infamous scenes from glastonbury are shown, with matt and chris both piling on dominic, bringing themselves and the kit crashing to the ground. matt's eye looms up to the camera, blinking nervously, the mic stand and guitars all go whirling overhead, before the flailing and jumping end with matt toppling a pile of speakers. the last thing we see is him in a heap in the floor with his arse sticking up in the air. haha!
