James could have had them out cold, that'd be a twist.

James looked all apologetic like "Sorry guys." And then you had Nicky giggling and Sean knocking the microphone over - total Oscar winning performances all around!

Sean bites one of their legs and refuses to let go, classic times.

I knew this was coming up but it still passed me by. Shocking behaviour. Wonder if that A Design For Life will get a proper recording.

I think there was an effort to include as many people as possible to be involved as kind of 'extras'. So maybe it was - partly (granted probably a very small part) - the crowd. I can't imagine that everyone in the audience was "in character". If everyone was playing along, it might have been easier to act the part. But when you're not really an actor, you might feel a little ridiculous or embarrassed in a situation like that and giggle as a result. I know I would!

I was thinking that too. Hopefully they do, some nice lyrics in there.

Getting a stream of the song's rehearsal on the official site or a live version download at one point or another is probably the likely options, although not massively so as it's only some lyrical changes. I doubt there's ever going to be a proper-proper studio version of it.

Oh, I don't blame him at all because I totally would too! My friend and I were used as extras in her friend's band's music video a few weeks ago and I kept screwing up and looking at the camera and giggling during it. So I know where he's coming from - it just cracks me up heh.

So...what's this all about, have they done a song or acted in something? Or are they going to at some point?

There was a big modernised Passion Play, the band played ADFL with new lyrics in one of the scenes.

Ah I just found a link on Youtube with the different lyrics and then a swat team march them off. Random but amusing, James was getting into it and Sean whacking over the mic, haha.

[exopotamie]

I'm ok if they don't release it officially - the lyrics are a bit rubbish! It's a cool idea though, getting so many different people involved. Dave McKean, even Iwan Rheon! I'm glad we got to watch a bit of it on youtube.

What are the lyrics?

Really difficult to make them out. Someone did kindly post what they thought they were which seems pretty accurate. Couple of pages back on this thread I think

Just watched the clips on You Tube.James was getting into the spirit of it all.Could see James doing a bit of acting.Think he'd be good at it.
