Your arcade fire... there is so much going on there. Who's in charge? How many are just paid bods? They can't all have input?? Can they?

Watched Later with Jools a few months back and he had Arcade Fire on. None of it made any sense, I just don't get them, it all sounds terrible.

Edit: kimbers put it better than me

Ricky Martin (or whatever your name is) Keiser Chiefs

1 - stop plugging your album

and
2 - sing to the audience not the ****ing camera for us at home

I'd gone off Arcade Fire, but seeing as DebZ's ears don't like them, I'm beginning to think they're awesome again. I like that there are so many of them. 🙂

Sounds like you want Download festival.

Me. I'd like, The Offspring, Capdown, Less Than Jake, Sublime (original line up, even though he's dead), Mighty Mighty Bosstones, NOFX , Dropkick Murphy's, Me First & the Gimme Gimmes, and probably Jimmy Eat World. I could think of others but I've got the best part of a bottle of wine in me.

Not a fan of poncy music.

3 honest chords in rock, blues or soul is my kinda thing

But the fire are good

Songs are better when Win Butler is lead vocals!

I'm pretty sure I've seen NIN at glasto several years back , I'm sure it was good but memory is hazy

Bizarrely flying back from Portugal last weekend got stuck thanks to French air traffic controllers, delayed by 5 hours met an ex glasto mate of a mate, me to restless toddlers to contain and a pissed off wife, him still living the dream knocking back the beers on a stag party

Arcade Fire are seriously out there but they are seriously entertaining Imho.

**** with the drum took it a bit far though.

I think Arcade Fire suffer from the fact that they got all of their best work out of the way on their first record. I'd take Funeral as one of the great albums of my record-buying lifetime but the rest of their stuff isn't in the same ballpark.

Damn that Four Tet, i leave the room for a minute to go for a piss and i hear a crash……….the rumble from the sub on a specific track wobbled my pint from the table and it's now all over the floor…pint glass is still intact though so at least that's a plus.

One of them is definitely a last minute stand in. Either that or he didn't practise the dance routine and missed the memo about shoes.

Ok, so now I'm a bit disappointed I'm missing the Fire. They've definitely warmed right up as the set has gone on.

I've just noticed that a lot of rock stars seem to be a bit podgy currently.
They can't be trying hard enough.

Whilst i can admire Arcade Fire for their musical ability to play extremely tight live, e.g. every bar is tight to perfection and the key is almost spot on but i can't help but be distracted by what else i'm doing or another webpage i have open - it'd be different if i was actually there but watching them live is rather a chore.

Edit : Although saying that i can get into this track playing at the moment

Your arcade fire... there is so much going on there. Who's in charge? How many are just paid bods? They can't all have input?? Can they?

Oh yes, and Régine is a multi-instrumentalist too, keys, drums, percussion, vocals, hurdy-gurdy...
There are actually extra musicians adding to the core band, doing backing brass and percussion, but that's hardly unusual, Elbow have their strings and brass, for example, but the main Arcade Fire is a six-piece, Win, his brother Will, his wife Régine, Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury and Jeremy Gara.
Richard is utterly nuts, once he gets going with a drum.
So far I've sen them four times, twice in the last six months, and their sets get better and better, this set-up is one of the best by any band I've ever seen.
I can understand people not liking a band, but saying someone like Arcade Fire or Elbow are shit, is either trolling, or wilful ignorance, because pretty much any band at that level has to be bloody good musically.
I detest the Manics, but their musicianship is beyond criticism, and apart from the auto-tuned garbage that fills most of Radio 1's playlist, I wouldn't call any band crap, just not to my taste.

I saw arcade fire once in the leadmill. A billion people came on the stage, they started yelling that "aaaaaAAAAAA, aaaaaAAAAAaaaaAAAAAaaaaaaAAAAA" song and one of them started hitting a soil pipe with a drum stick.
