Guest ruiagnelo Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 why no Pink Floyd among all the musical references, but dizzee rascal making a live performance? also i was expecting Daniel Radcliffe or emma watson popping up at any moment, so i am relieved now. it was an excellent opening show. very cinematic. the message this is for everyone seems very appropriate for the times we are living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gary C Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Haha, Pink Floyd as the final song. Oh no, wait. Couldn't forget that Paul McCartney would show up to take the prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ruiagnelo Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Eclipse Fine choice! Wish i could have seen it through to the end. I was actually getting disappointed that there was no music by Pink Floyd during the show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Biggest WTF moment was when they were paying homage to various TV series, bam! a Spanish TV series called Cuéntame. That was totally unexpected and I still don't what the fuck was that doing there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delet... Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 So the UK has taken the crown from australia for the most crapily stupid cheese filled pointless bullshit opening ceremony. The flame is quite nice though, pity our broadcast kept showing close up shots of it happening instead of giving us a decent view from further back. They also, completely missed the japanese team. Useless amateurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kichiguy Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 they played fuck buttons THANK YOU - couldn't place it for the life of me... strange to hear old underworld b-sides blasted out too. Damn my life has changed since i was last listening to them in some sweaty Manchester club somewhere. Hopefully fuck buttons can advertise as 'opening music from London 2012 Olympic games' now. Their called F Buttons now, and the advertisements are already out... https://www.atpfesti...dings/fbuttons/ edit: underworld track was rez?!
