Cool, I didn't know that.
the band started too early :v:
Guys in the band probably just started too early and it was too late to just stop playing, nobody's fault.
lol this is so painfully hilarious to watch
The music is not to give speeches over, it's for respect to the queen not to be used to hype up your speech
I could see in his face he was thinking
"Well, [b]fuck.[/b]
This is awkward"
:lol:
Monarchists.
It also looked like he was waiting for her to drink to her own toast.
He has Witcher 2 to keep this off his mind

Fuck the queen. People of actual importance are talking.

Just to remind you, posting statements meant to inflame and annoy just to get a reaction is trolling

It's true though. Monarchists are really pompous and they don't get anything done but waste taxpayer money. The whole "Royal Family" thing is complete bullshit and is there just to serve the purpose of tradition.
Hell, it even fucks up Canada because we need to get the Governor General's permission to pass new bills IIRC.

Well, the way people expect to just stop what they're doing to listen to "God Save the Queen" (which therein I have a problem with the song name) and the whole "her majesty" crap.

umm at least i don't need to do some pledge to my country in school, and you can't say she's pompous because she has a title

I find the whole idea of the Monarch to be pompous, maybe not necessarily her because of a title.
That was really awkward.
I don't see why this is such a big deal.

Never had to do that in the USA.
Pledge of allegiance has always been optional.
Also didnt seem like that big of a deal

because people who don't like obama because he's obama will bitch about everything
like the time he bowed low to the japanese prime minister(?), people got up at arms because it was too respectful or showed that he felt lower than japan or something, and that it made him unamerican EVERYBODY RIOT HE'S WORKING WITH JAPAN
and the pledge was nothing special, I don't remember anyone in my classes since I was little actually looking interested or proud or even attentive when doing it. It was all just one giant messy mumble until it was over with and we could sit back down. I think teachers used to tell us we HAD to do it, but I'm not sure if it was actually optional back then.
It isn't really that much of a deal I just don't think anybody expected him to speak over it because that's not the tradition, there hasn't been some clear rule that you're meant to be silent, britain doesn't usually go for speeches over music

That's ridiculous, that's him respecting tradition, this is him not entirely understanding it
[QUOTE=Kondor58;30109890]That's ridiculous, that's him respecting tradition, this is him not entirely understanding it[/QUOTE]
people flip like pancakes either way
He's not speaking over it, it's playing over him.
[QUOTE=Coffee;30109923]He's not speaking over it, it's playing over him.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much this. Regardless of tradition, it should have been obvious to not play while he was in the middle of a speech - it's disrespectful to him and makes him look like an idiot.
I thought it made it sound kind of badass. Like, america is always "Fuck yeah, AMERICA!" this was a kinda "Fuck yeah, England!" moment.
Hell i live in England and i wanted to slap the shit out of the musicians, Obama does really good speeches.
btw what did the queen say to Obama after he finished talking?
