Leeds Festival 2010 - Biffy Clyro Walk Onto Main Stage

[martinph01]

@TheFrankMir "God only knows what I'd be without you", taken from the Beach Boys song 'God Only Knows'.

[oneloveman988]

Wow these guys are incredible

[TheFrankMir]

What's his chest tattoo say?

[86THEMADHATTER]

@TheFrankMir There's actually an interview if you type in ''simon neil tatoo's '' and he goes through all his tatoo's.

[graysonisgod]

How dare matt cardle even cover biffy its bullshit and just shows that mass produced pop artists have no talent they get the songs wrote for them they get a band to play the music they just turn up and sing or record everything is done for them the tallentles scummbags .

[surferpip]

Mon the biffy

[shadowslash55]

I wish Mike Vennart would get more attention in this video

[Brit050789]

I love Biffy Clyro... I think like they are underrated! :(

[a1dzcannon]

lol simon and james wore the exact same jeans as they did at the milton keynes foo fighters gig

[nb1879]

I love Biffy but why did santa stand in for simon in this gig?

[re4per955]

whats the name of the song they play after the went on stage?? :)

[fleabo420]

@re4per955 That Golden Rule

[BiffyClyroBiggestFan]

they need to do a cover of that song this instant

[rockislife999]

T-shirt on, T-shirt off

[CauseIAmNotThere]

i looove his blond hair :)

[dtc91]

Now, I'm not expert at the internet but I believe that this MyMadra character is what is generally known as a "troll"

A very successful one at that by the looks of things.

[TheEvilelvis89]

Oh sisters let's go down, down to the river and praaaaay !

[mirwin931]

MATT CARDLE? LOL

[burnonatoaster]

Simon Neil brought a boat with the money he got from the matt cardle sales, as he wrote the song..

[TheEurasia23]

WHY THE FUCK IN EVERY OF MY FAVORITE ROCK VIDEOS THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING TO TROLL???? JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY THE GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING MUSIC!

[seanoghughes95]

why do i get nervous watching this O_O

[DarrenAlexanderHood]

Right. Biffy will get so much money from that stupid twat from x factors cover. But it still disgusts me that people think he wrote it. Matt Cardle probably struggles to write his own name nevermind an amazing song like Many Of Horror. If you think he wrote it you should just shoot yourself now.

[SuperMegabar]

why have they got Libertines music on a Biffy Clyro vid??? and i hate it when the 2 top rated comments are about the same thing :/

[MrThunderpage]

these guys rock for Jesus!!! mr. Thunderpage! south florida/usa!!!

[THEDUNNOS]

Who or what is matt cardle?????

MON THE BIFF!

[imilkdude]

i like how people fed the troll mymadra :P

[eahM94]

i dont kno why, but when they start to sing 'oh sisters..' i get really excited :S hahaha

[ObsessedLittleGirl]

He reminds me of god for some strange reason

[frodobaginsatheshire]

@ObsessedLittleGirl i'm gonna guess.. because he's Simon Neil, and Simon Neil ≥ God

[maupoludy]

Actually... He looks like Yeti from Monsters, Inc.

[EmmaOberst]

james is so bloody gorgeous <3.

[theOneThatUChase]

do all the bands do that before going on stage?

[xiluvjtx]

omg he ooks sexy with that hair and beard. mmmmmm.

[MrHudson1988]

I love that music they come out too, when your at there gig it proper builds up the atmosphere

[missfuckinglovemetal]

ITS JESUS!!!

[Morgk95]

oh look its captain birdseye!

[MissNothing09]

Simon looks amazing with blonde hair ;) <3

[SonefourUK]

Love how the Libs didnt even play dont look back..

[madformusic28]

LOL I actually find it funny that some retards are either:

a) Completley stupid enough to think that Matt Cardle wrote this song.

or

b) Completely insane enough to pretend that they think that Matt Cardle wrote this song, when they know that Biffy Clyro fans will hunt them down and murder them.

I'd just like to make it perfectley clear that Biffy Clyro are the best band in the world, and there is no way that some stupid X Factor prick is going to take credit for their song. Stop making shit up.

[aDustBowlDance]

blonde hair, black hair, he's still fucking gorgeous!

[DrummerRidley101]

primarkopolop what ever your fuckin name is, Go suck ya moms pussy yu fat fuck. Go listen to yur xfactor shit or the fuckin gay factor yu homo. And leave us to listen to our talent Biffy Clyro, we dont wont kids like yu hangin around our music thinkin yur the fuckin dog bollocks that yu know every thin, because some bent gezzar/woman done a shit cover of Many Of Horror one of Biffo's best songs.

[WonkyAsian]

BEN... :)

[sinclairryanl]

@MyMadra It's funny because you're thick.

[TwilightGN0ME]

Was so funny at Leeds when he threw that amp that broke off the stage XD

[MsEleaNoir]

@MyMadra

MATT CARDLE WROTE THIS? ARE YOU PISSING JOKING?

matt cardle was on a shitty reality tv programme and got one single by stealing a band who are amazing and have worked hard to be where they are's song.

face facts, x-factor stole this song, just changed the name.

MON THE BIFF!!!

[MyCh3mic41Rom4nc3]

@MsEleaNoir yeh, biffy wrote the song!!!!

and their bliddy producers sold it to x factor! :P

[RetardAssProductions]

Holy shit! Its zeus!

[thorsfield]

cool! with mike from oceansize (greatest band ever ever ever!!)

[lastexile1187]

@thorsfield Damn straight man :D

[okamitherisingsun]

LOL when Simon was going to take his shirt off, but then decided it was too cold!

[pukester1122]

LOVING HOW HE LOOKS LIKE SANTA

[daisydooker]

brother where art thou

funniest film ever,couldny believe when simon was singing a song from it there lol

[Mavarik]

the love the beachboy tattoo

[bobo123011]

I'm not that sure I'm not a massive fan. And I was mighty stoned (:

[thetm102]

im not sure about the albhino look :S

[TiocfaidhArLa2t9]

his hair is mawd!!!

[bobo123011]

biff looks like jezussss

[ljks1]

@bobo123011 you mean simon

[SuperEnj0i]

@ljks1 wahey what a wanker :L (not you i mean the bobo dude)

[caitlins143]

when he walked on with blonde hair at the actual show, everyone just went silent :P

[JadeOY]

when the amp fucked up and all you heard from Neil was "OH CRAP" :)

[MyMadra]

this guy stole matt cardles song

[TeddyBearAutopsyUK]

@MyMadra I really hope you're joking and not genuinely retarded.

[MrBigmanmusic]

@MyMadra if u actually mean this i am going to hunt you down and fuck your shitty matt cardle up

[MyMadra]

@MrBigmanmusic you're going to hunt ME down and then fuck matt cardle up?...wow makes alot of sense....matt cardle did write the song, biffy is just a talentless band who robs songs and then tries to portray these songs as their own

[MrBigmanmusic]

@MyMadra he wrote this song not matt cardle

[MyCh3mic41Rom4nc3]

@MyMadra um, biffy wrote the song. they wrote it a fekin year before matt cardle sang it.

lol :)

gather the facts up before you accuse :)

get a brain aswell. :)

MON THE BIFFY'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[primarkopolop]

@MyMadra your an actual idiot lmao, please tell me your not serious? and by saying biffy are talentless then you know NOTHING about music anyway. listen to their first 3 albums for a few days and if you have any taste whatsoever then you will agree with me

[MyMadra]

@primarkopolop biffy are talentless...they did a silly cover of a matt cardle song and now you idiots are worshipping them....they are old talentless wannabe's

[primarkopolop]

@MyMadra im not gonna give you anymore wasted keystrokes after this comment as your simply just a tool, or your just taking the piss just to get attention...either way your a naive prick

[MyMadra]

@primarkopolop hahaha wtf..you can't even spell you brain dead moron...you mean "you're" a naive prink, not "your" you dumb shite...matt cardle wrote this song...get over it

[primarkopolop]

@MyMadra and im guessing you meant to call me a "prink" then instead of a prick lol. thats the most obnoxious thing to say to pick up on someones spelling anyway, why do you bother posting your drool everyone thinks your a prick for thinking matt cardle wrote the song and for saying biffy are talentless so do yourself a favour and do some research and stop being a fucking arsehole.

[Crackbaby444]

@MyMadra now I don't mean to get into a fight, I just NEED to say this, to tell you that you are wrong. biffy clyro released the album only revolutions on november 9th, year 2009. the song many of horror is on that album. matt cradle released a cover of that single in december, year 2010. you CAN NOT in ANY WAY argue with that. biffy clyro wrote the song, matt cradle named the cover when we collide, because that is in the lyrics that SIMON NEIL wrote in the song MANY OF HORROR. peace

[Carus92]

@Crackbaby444 so you mean matt cradel wrote when we collide and billy clyro wrote many of horror O.o?

[Crackbaby444]

@Carus92 when we collide is the name of matt cradle's cover. for fuck's sake people...

[TheOfficialFush]

@MyMadra /watch?v=Cc-JCy8bkN4&feature=f­vwrel

you're not even worth the time it would take for me to insult you.. that is all.

[GrantMills246]

@MyMadra I hope you realise how much of a cunt you've made of yourself and by the way matt cardle is a talentless twat that sings like hes been booted in the balls a million times.

[music4meh]

@MyMadra you made me laugh so hard! you are so dumb

[rargh0]

@MyMadra wow just wow, i don't even know whether to laugh or cry that's just unreal. I struggle to believe that anyone is really that dense. Christ if youre going to insult someone at last use facts from a reliable source not from your fantasy land. I really just can't understand how you could say something so stupid. I hope for you're sake youre joking cause you are going to get the piss taken out of you and ripped to shreads by biify fans.

[Libertad792]

@MyMadra go troll somewhere else.

[AcceptableInThe90s]

@MyMadra  you nobhead, he wrote the fucking song u prick.

[OnMelancholyHill11]

@MyMadra Trolling correctly is an art that requires subtlety.

You lack subtlety.

You are a bad troll.

Biffy are quite frankly one of the most talented bands of the past decade and in my opinion have never written a bad song and I'm honoured to say I know that for a fact as I've listened to damn near every song they've ever written.

[MyMadra]

@OnMelancholyHill11 you're an idiot, matt cardle wrote this song

[OnMelancholyHill11]

@MyMadra And your attempting to get me mad through intentionally being an idiot.

So I'm just gonna leave and let you continue to mercilessly troll everyone in this video, because nothing I say can stop you being an annoying cunt.

[DA87i]

@MyMadra LOL IRONY. 

[Randersif]

does anybody know what the theme tune thing at the beginning is called if it is a real song?

[cabedgepatch03]

@Randersif Hey at the beginning during the NME logo it's The Libertines - "Don't Look Back Into The Sun"

prior to the band going on stage it's "Down to the River to Pray" 

[SomeKindOfJaggySnake]

@pigeonbreathhed The guy playing with them is a guy called Mike Vennart :L that ain't Neil. Two different people I'm afraid lol. Two of them legends but ;)

[MissNothing09]

Simon is AMAZING <3 xoxoxoxoxoxo

[urmybggestfan]

I WAS THERE THEY WERE TOTALLY EPIC

[SomeKindOfJaggySnake]

@pigeonbreathhed At the end of the video? they are playing That Golden Rule (:

[SomeKindOfJaggySnake]

@pigeonbreathhed Yeah he is. that wee guy at 0:18 with the band is Neil Anderson, their tour manager. and he is carrying all their water bottles and stuff haha.

[CalzumSSBM]

1:09

Rolo Tomassi Hoodie (:

[SomeKindOfJaggySnake]

Poor Neil, look at him carrying all the stuff for the boys! What a legend wee Neil is!! ((:

[shootmybum]

what band was that playing on the intro from 0:00 - 0:10 ?

[sazzles12]

@shootmybum dont look back into the sun by the libertines :) xx

[shootmybum]

@sazzles12 kk thanks its a great song.

[swopitnow]

This video gets me so tense! You can really feel the pre-show nerves.

[MRSYKOOO]

makes me feel happy knowing tht when i sang oh sisters lets go down simon was singing to it aswell

[SoundDoomed]

Mon the Biff!!

[minicluer]

He looks like the son of God!

[TheNeutralFan]

That haircut... ain't doing Simon any favours.

[NowUrJustIncoherent]

@TheNeutralFan I beg to differ!

[TheNeutralFan]

@NowUrJustIncoherent Well, it's different, I suppose. Ehm... nothing else much to say.

[MissNothing09]

lol i love his hair....!!!!

[Sparky2294]

0:56 Its jesus =D

[entershikari619]

what were they singing as they went on stage?

[Mushman34]

@entershikari619 Down in the River to Pray sung by Alison Krauss. I only know it from the baptism scene in the Cohen brother's film Oh Brother Where Art Thou...

[entershikari619]

@Mushman34 cheers man, good knowledge

[Gears2warzone]

he does look so much like kurt with the blonde barnet.

[Sumbody8]

simon neids:

1) a shave

2) to get that hair dye out

3) to stop smoking

:)

[guitarja112]

@Sumbody8 if you think 'needs' is spelt 'neids' you don't deserve an opinion.

[Sumbody8]

@guitarja112 it was a joke because simon nEIl is his name

[guitarja112]

@Sumbody8 lost on me

[MrFerezu]

@Sumbody8

NOWAI

[AliGlenUig]

@Sumbody8 simon neil has been a bearded smoker almost all of his music making life and has made some incredible records. The hair-dye was done for a laugh, because he obviously doesn't take himself too seriously.

[NowUrJustIncoherent]

@Sumbody8 I disagree, he's awesome in that way :)

[davieallan1988]

what is the name of the song right at the start when nme festivals 2010 logo comes up ?

[KnightSurge]

@davieallan1988 It's called 'Don't Look Back Into the Sun' by The Libertines. They made their comeback at the Reading & Leeds shows this year! :)

[Miliooosha]

okay, just want to ask.. I was @wembley at september 11, and hear that song which you can hear at 1:11 and Simon sings too at the video. And at wembley all the crowd was singing it too.. Is it a pray or something? just curious.. thanks for answers.

[MoshEnthusiast]

I just have this feeling that Simon has a mortal hatred of t-shirts.

[cicizoomer]

Stop slagging off the hair - he looks cool. At the risk of sounding like a 15 year old groupie wannabe (instead of the 28 year old version that I really am!!) he looks hot! He looked amazing at Wembley the other night, a full on Rock God...kind of Taylor Hawkins meets Kurt Cobain, much better than the bouffant he was sporting in the Many of Horror Vid.

[danrari]

@cicizoomer

I hope your a lady..

[RockerDude1712]

santa is that u ???

[StarLightx3]

stop being a dick and dye your hair back

[livvi67]

1:42 Mike Vennart = Legend. I want his babies. etcetc

[WhoKilledTheNoodle]

Awk..Poor Neil at 0:20 forced to carry their stuff. Neil, you are a legend matey!! The hardest worker in team Biffy next to the band! :D

[flx0011]

Only Simon Neil can pull off that beast like look, looked like a legend at Wembley :D

[joshobj]

I wish I could meet the band!

[TheEvilelvis89]

simon looks like a YETI !!

[MegaCreamcheese]

i thought santa wasnt real until i saw simon neil

[eilieo]

aww an amazing time! i love biffy and was glad they played some older stuff! plus i was on the big screen during mountains! :D :D

[muckimuffins]

love biffy, loved jaggy snake :) and even simons hair he's hot!

[primarkopolop]

i went fucking MENTAL when they played jaggy snake, no one would go mental with me though i was surrounded by biffy newbie's :(

[PeterL571]

@primarkopolop if i was there i would go metal with you

[TheEvilelvis89]

I think simon is going to build an ark soon ! lol

[321TODDY]

I loved their entry music :P They are awesome They even played jaggy snake :)

[deromdotcerom]

oh sister lets go down, down to the river to prey.

[Kimmy4Liam]

i want his trousers!

[chanceie12]

Ive heard there earlier stuf it isnt band , but nothing new there. then they bought out there latest album and didnt improve and yet got more famous lol

[TheWowmart]

@chanceie12 um ok guy .

[manbearpidgeon]

@chanceie12

'Ive heard there earlier stuf it isnt band , but nothing new there'

Ahem,. . . . .are you totally deaf. Possibly the most ridiculous statement i have ever read on youtube. Name one band that produces the sort of sound that biffy do.

[IAINoodle]

noah before the ark

wicked stuff

[Millionaireglamm]

simon neil is hot, but now he was a full on beard not so much:L. But Biffy are still freaking awesome, and there Scottish like me woooooo:D!!

[vynerock1]

haha it was funny when the amp blew up on many of horror so neil chucked it off stage..awesome set:)

[MusicLifeSpark]

I know right, at beginning of many of horror wasn't it, It was a brilliant show. :)

[tomkneale1243]

@vynerock1 It was weezers amp! Bet they were pissed off..

[vynerock1]

@tomkneale1243

are you sure? weezer where at reading on the sunday

[strongbad12345]

Nice to see james with a rolo tomassi hoodie, they were quality at leeds, as were biffy

[Dexthefirst]

omg! Simon neil has a top on! lol thats a new one!

[MonkersX]

Looks like Jesus with tattoos.

[theunusualsuspect]

It was trully epic when he kicked the monitor of the stage casually and just carried on playing.

[MrJohnnycoyle]

@theunusualsuspect yeah he was a fucking hero for doing that!

[GenerallyGodLike]

I think he's going for his own take on the Kurt Cobain look! Long blonde look and stuff... Looks good

[chanceie12]

Biffy are a bit overrated though? admit it.

[Tomamo5]

@chanceie12 dude. you have no idea. they deserve all of their success. seriously. go listen back through ALL of their albums. they are one of the most original and inventive bands out in the UK, if not the world.

[primarkopolop]

@Tomamo5 amen to that, their first 3 albums are my favourite albums of all time.

[TheNeutralFan]

@Tomamo5 +1. IL, VoB, and BS are bloody awesome. Heh, I used abbreviations.

[CharlieEed]

On second thought... I quite like the hair xD

[CharlieEed]

Simon Neil.

I know you're practically God.

Not even practically- you're literally God.

But, what on earth did you do to your beautiful hair and beard?! ;-;

[zoerebeccaclarke]

i'm not particularly liking this blonde hair & beard.. who the fuck dyes their beard? oh well dare to be different...

[SebAnders]

@zoerebeccaclarke it would even weirder if he had blonde hair and a dark brown beard lol

[zoerebeccaclarke]

@SebAnders that is a good point, i gotta prefer his hair + beard its natural colour though xD

[SebAnders]

@zoerebeccaclarke i have to agree it does look much better dark brown (my natural colour lol)

[zoerebeccaclarke]

@SebAnders i just hope he dyes it darker or gets it stripped soooon :]

[lprandyb]

nice to see santa doing stuff other then xmas day..

[ChrisRoughleyTV]

why has he died his beard n hair blonde :S
