Many artists did it on purpose, as a protest or just pissing about. For example, Ian Anderson during Jethro Tull's 'Witch's Promise'. I think The Stranglers once mimed without strings and Oasis' Gallagher brothers swapped places in mid-song! In 1996, The Eels performed 'Novocaine for the Soul' with toy instruments (before smashing them up at the end)! Then, in 1988, there was All About Eve, who just sat there for what seemed like an age (and looked like a protest), but actually they couldn't hear the soundtrack to mime to. They played live the following week and sounded great, proving that the whole miming thing was an unnecessary nonsense.

What did Anderson do during Witch's Promise? He always acts frenetic and fun, even today, so it's hard to tell much difference.

I love that Eels performance. Mark may have seemed "unenthusiastic" but that's kind of his normal delivery. I think the whole toy playing fit the style of song perfectly. They wanted to put on a performance..and they did.

Not surprised most of the American bands (and Oasis lol) made a mockery of it. Only saying as one who grew up in that whole mix, they were asking musicians who were real musicians to mime. Of course, they are not going to play along & rebel against it. Very sure they saw it as a sell-out moment & industry insult to not perform live.

I honestly don't know why TOTP didn't just lean into people goofying around on stage, it was far more fun. I feel sorry for All About Eve, at the time they got criticized when really them missing the queue (and being made to mime at all) wasn't their fault. The funny thing was that was the first time I'd heard Nirvana, not realzing Kurt was dorking around my first thought was "Why would anyone listen to this shit?"

Well it doesn't exist any more (ended in 2006), but the policy changed over the years, and a few bands stamped their feet enough to be allowed to perform live. There was a period in I think the mid 90s when they actually insisted on live vocals at the very least, although obviously a lot of bands didn't perform, but they'd show music videos.
