[@Goatisme]

Its an idea and a concept that a lot of people adhere to as an artist expression rather than a specific group of artists portraying their work through time like how it traditionally go, they are a bit like that too its just their performance art is centered on counter-individualist and counter-recognition and its overall a big clash with the US's overall values on celebrity cult and personality worship of their entertainment scene in general.

One of the Blue Men walked by and painted his sleeping nose with blue pigment ( I have the picture from later, on the side walk). We later learned they were referring to him backstage during the show as "angel baby".

Jeremy I agree

[@Keebrev]

I’ve had the pleasure of performing alongside Blue Men Group, at an event in 2019 for my high school. One of the strangest experiences ever. While I was backstage for most of their set, my group actually got a green room next to them - and I got a glimpse of them unmasked! It’s actually a rotating group of different guys. I met one of them in the bathroom, of all places. Once they’re in character they don’t break it at all, so he didn’t speak to me, but he did leave a palm print on me and another cast member’s face. Funnily enough, I didn’t get a good view at any of them directly, but a few of them most definitely have busy beards under the mask. Quite a moment for sure!

[@seemourbutts6679]

Blue men in a green room

[@magsy21]

When they performed in Chicago back in the nineties, after the show, there was an opportunity to ask one of them, still in character, if I might touch his head. He obliged. The blue stuff felt not unlike the dashboard of my car, 😂. I said to him, “I know you’re not up for a chat, but I do wonder if it gets super hot beneath the blue.” Without so much as a smile, he nodded in the affirmative. 💙

People throwing around the term genius start getting on my nerves. The whole concept is wildly outdated. Also - all those wonky contraptions are just alternative variations of preexisting intruments and the music is not even very good. So... Not genius. Doesn't take a genius to put a basic pattern into a step sequencer. What is a genius you ask? Wikipedia has some answers. Maybe not the ones you look for...(Batman yadayada...)

I mean...if Zuckerberg just painted himself blue and joined this band all the speculation about him would stop

[@GrantBrenner]

Idk what you’re talking about. I never suspected him of being a human.

[@ijopstuff4953]

He’s painted himself even whiter instead now

[@lanceresultay014]

he’d be the one smoking meats while making music

[@nathanielball365]

LJR he'll be smokin sausages too. And not the kind you eat either!!😂🤣😂

[@timehunter9467]

You mean the cold lifeless stare he does? The fact that he can’t communicate in human ways?

[@skunkuseggs9405]

this is the most human yet alien thing I've ever experienced and I love it.

I can't be the only that wants a Daft Punk X Blue Man Group collab

[@Retroshift]

and Kraftwerk too!

[@SocietyKilledTheUnicorn]

Blank Face there's so many different blue man groups. Which one do you choose? The original New York one? Or one from a completely different country.

[@JoelHarkin]

the one that feature tobias

[@ThePochas0]

Blank Face holy shit I was thinking that the whole video

[@kbrad988]

Yes, there are many Blue Men at their different shows, but there are the three original guys who came up with the concept of Blue Man Group and who write the music for their shows along with other collaborators. They are the ones who appear in this video and in most of their major media appearances as BMG. That's who should collaborate with Daft Punk.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

The most unique music group out there, they really stand out among the music world gives me Phil Collin vibes
