The third sentence makes it clear it's fake

  • Geiger counters aren't rhythmic, they're random
  • How would the audience know the beat matches the counter?
  • Random music doesn't sound good, the audience would be more excited for good music

Disappointed in the people who believed this.

And even if it worked, you wouldn't need a radiation source more dangerous than a banana to make a geiger counter go click enough to play along.
