The Rakes - Retreat

[DesgWarrtw]

I can meet naughty women tonight mworld5.info

[louilenin]

These guys are joy division wanabee (you have to admit it). Their music sucks and they act like copycats.

[Rjimppy]

@louilenin Why did you search if you think they suck? if you don't like them don't search for them, these guys were awesome and I hope the reunite very soon

[underpuka]

@louilenin eat cock

[Seagerash]

so ian curtis. great band. this is my fave rakes song.

[maderock666]

im so sad because the rakes isn playing gooood rock, from colombia i support them and i hope one day they come back. Sorry for my bad english, The rakes and editors rules.

[underpuka]

I love 1:55 to 2:18

motherfucker to people that doesn't like the rakes

[MsNibot]

omg this stinks

[BethPessoa]

this perfomance don't do justice to The Rakes' legacy

[zaidabanksnyc]

Perfect :)

[Bbcandicecreamsky]

R.I.P

[krebsey]

STOP with the R.I.P. they might get bored of working in curries and do music again

[ivandamonstr]

NO more crack for the lead singer..

[martineteo]

he dances like ian curtis lol

[rosanero2009]

What a concert at Ypsigrock Festival,they are so nice!

[djtimelord]

Fucking nice band!

[Snett111]

true, true. That´s the mood I´m always in.

[tony487]

Lead singer is a modern day Ian curtis

LOVE IT I DO.

[zarella]

i love the rakes dearly but this just doesnt have the kick to it like the album version

they've even played this song in gigs better

bit of enthusiasm perhaps?

[jrportillo85]

The Rakes are are pretty sick. They should do a joy division cover. He does an Ian Curtis dance alright... Anyway the Rakes are modern, but Joy Division is still part of the legends class.

[charly2293]

estos tipos son geniales! hahaa

[AxleCarp]

I love the guitar sound they have.

[BunnyK250]

jajaja, el cantante se ha hecho los 100metros farlopa lo menos

[chrisbeat1988]

how are they like scouting for girls, when their first album was released about 4 years ago?

[Aaronrichardpiper]

like joy division visualt but like scouting for girls sonical. how wank are they. copy cats. lol 12 year old girls will love this.

[deanfwj]

Scouting for girls? Are you deaf?...I seriously hope ur one of those flamer twats.

[Aaronrichardpiper]

whats a flamer? are you over 40? thanks

[deanfwj]

..a flamer is someone who contrives to make pointless and deliberatly annoying points to piss people off, just to see the resulting argument..I'm 26, and if nothing else I know The Rakes are NOTHING like Scouting for girls.

[bobafettfreak]

but they lack joy divisions live energy

[Skidder123]

what part of you thought that it would be productive or sensible to put such a load of toss. The rakes arent like joy division , but they are nothing like scouting for girls. Scouting for girls sing little serendaes to the 12 year old children they touch in their dressing rooms, listen to any newer rakes stuff and you might find it addresses important issues like racism and comon prejudice.

[curteh001]

These sound absolutely nothing like Scouting For Girls. You sir, are clearly retarded.

[franzferdiman]

j'ai vu the rakes et franz ferdinand en live,rien a voir; ian curtis n'aura jamais le carisme de kapranos.les franz sont de loin les meilleurs!!!!

[adamlebnani234]

British Rock is the best!!!!!!

[brodierice]

Ian Curtis Much?

[Loli82]

yeah, lookalike!

[hannahmwalsh]

some of his dancing is very ian-like.

[TheBendsAndYorke]

They don't do the guitar riff at the chorus...For me is a bad live version.

[brhumgorst]

tell me a UK band of the new generation that does a good live concert in big venues.

[JeremyFraser06]

franz ferdinand

[brhumgorst]

franz ferdinand? they are just like the Rakes, they have good studio songs, but horrible live presentations.

[LaitKnight]

i don't think so

[ryand111]

muse?

[TobagoGas]

Love the song. It's gets better as it progresses and so does this performance.

[eueu55]

I like them but I think the singer is trying too much to be like Ian Curtis :S

[cmoradescott]

i can see what you mean.. he does look and act like him a bit... dunno why someone gave you a thumbs down for that!?

[Jamie49]

i enjoy the rakes but explain what the hell hes doing at 2:07 lmao!

[sara0hey]

haha

[pxiq]

WHAT THE FUCK I LOVE THE RAKEEEEEEEEEES. they're CLASS.

[Kdozzle]

does anyone look at this and just think....joy division rip off???

[samuraiinCfede]

Not musically, just the singer's pose...trust me

[TheNickMoffittReport]

No... Why don't we just look at any rock song ever written and think Chuck Berry Rip off?

[alexpeterspeirsjacob]

Listen to the remixed version on itunes. Type in "retreat (phones mix) the rakes" Its so much better

[mmmmilikeit]

LOL. yes please lets all go listen to Pearl Jam.

I dont actually think this little performance is that bad. Consistent with the sound on the record.

[WeezerFan666]

I don't think he particularly trying to sing, more talking over the music. A bit like Mike Skinner.

But it isn't his best performance though ...

[jelu95]

No not his best performance but saw them at Lowlands in Holland last weekend and they were brilliant, one of the best acts I have ever seen(Kings of Leons were incredible also)

[kaleidomono]

if u addict to those funny old tribute bands, why don't u shot yourself down since there's no time machine

[DPT7777]

Not their best performance, but still, yes The Rakes are great. they were great at Glasto.

My question to all these morons slagging them off here is, why are you bothering? Shouldn't you be leaving your irrelevant and mispelt comments to something more on your level, like Big Brother, or Blue performing at Wetherspoons, or something?...

[enfieldcc4eva]

ther sooo shit its untru

[superchargednut]

Are you having a laugh?

[enfieldcc4eva]

no i aint, u think ther gud!? the lead singer thinx hes gos, wen he can barly hit a note, fukin ell, get sum gud bands goin, i dint no em b4 glastonbury, so i had an open mind, they wer the worste band that i saw play

[superchargednut]

I do, they are my second favourite band. Listen to the album version of this song.

[enfieldcc4eva]

jesus christ, a BAND is able 2 reproduce live, u shuldnt have 2 hear ther album version, therfore ther crap!! ther front man is an absolute piss take, i cnt get over how crap he is, listen to some pearl jam, or if u dont like them, led zepplin, the who, bad company!! ne 1!!

[superchargednut]

The Rakes are class.

End of.

[enfieldcc4eva]

the rakes are average.

END OF.

[jelu95]

They can reproduce live!!!Actually they are brilliant live but you are never going to get a good performance in a Jools Holland setting...Even the White Stripes sounded shit on it!Don't mention Pearl Jam as a reference they are the most overrated shit ever, so as the Who for that matter they are incredibly dated...

[connellking]

learn to fucking spell you cunt

[nuuude]

his eyes are definately very open

[LithingGrint]

he doesnt quite move the way he does at their own gigs. Great live band by the way, brilliant debut album, nice second one.

[jamezoasis]

[Cosser]
