[MeTaLMoNkEyLeYrOy]

Would be so awesome if foals dipped into some oldies and tried the instrumentals aswell for some of the newer songs for festivals 2011!

[tullochlad]

[abbeywharf8]

[MrPepeSilvia]

The jam they do right before they start playing french open sounds like the tune "tron", also off antidotes. Love it!

[ICptSI]

Yannis is the best dancer ever!

[carterj25]

french open - tune

[kittin517]

I wonder if Yannis has actually told Andy Roddick that this song is about him? I think he should be dead flattered because it is bloody awesome!!

[23lFrench]

OMG it's like sonic youth ^^

[dananananankirk]

The trumpet player is the bassist/trumpet player from Jonquil I think.

[Secilou80]

Il a un accent vraiment vraiment mignon lorsqu'il chante en français . :D

[BEARISMFASHION]

people might think they are crazy but

they are fucking awesome

[zthaniqks]

[jackwills101]

@zthaniqks why are you dead?

[arcticpew]

0:52 typical foals fans...

[lhoclhoc]

i swear the saxophonist looks like gabriel from metronomy?

[kwfmusic]

@lhoclhoc Don't think so, nice idea though - looks like a cross between Gab and Jarvis Cocker haha

[theshortcurlyguy]

[LKLNinja]

@theshortcurlyguy no it's a travis bean. both his guitars now are travis beans, fecking amazing guitars...

[TomscTV]

amazing

[fatyman277]

this is one of the best things i have ever heard.

[Faragnigskni]

whoever's seen this live, do you agree that this was the best song played? i thought it was the best of the night!

fucking brilliant!

[wafflestuffer2]

@Faragnigskni electric boom was best

[patmay789]

[powerkidd]

drummer is very good

[Dj9z]

0:51 lol

quality foals

[HaroldFeldberg]

I want the MP3 of this soooo bad

[djsmithy]

If you google youtube to mp3,

youll find a few ways of getting it from the video. ;)

[TokinBloke]

@djsmithy youtube compresses the shit out of audio... so a live recording already will sound like fuckin 10 kbps..

[thekook33]

@HaroldFeldberg go to Media Converter and don't do the last step which tells u to play a game

[t3t0m3d1n4]

@HaroldFeldberg I´ll prefer the .wav of this

[turnip478]

what the HELL is math rock?

[mfthrilla]

It's that class you failed in grade school.

[plcbmathilde]

yannis looks like godzilla when he is climbing !

What an energic show !! I've hardly ever seen anything like that! and What an energic track with a terrible terrible drum sound !

[ralphdrumslikefab]

jack is awesome but matt helders is still better

[plcbmathilde]

who's matt helders ?

[ralphdrumslikefab]

The Drummer for the arctic monkeys

[fintondean]

that drummer giver matt helders a run for his money

[CassiusFA]

Foals used to be a math rock band before this, so he probably is better.

[fintondean]

whats math rock?

[CassiusFA]

look up battles

[fintondean]

i know who battles are.still dont explain what math rock is.I think you've heard that somewhere and thought that sounds good!.is math rock just rock played by nerds?

[MisterMagoooo]

its mixing different time signatures together seamlessly. like 4- 4 staight on to 6-8. its a lot more vast then that but that is one of its basic principles. check out the japanese band "TOE"

[jonasnr8]

wow mate thank you so much for mentioning the band TOE, I love it !

[MisterMagoooo]

check out an irish band called enemies. they did a japanese tour with TOE supporting them. i don't know them well but some of my mates are good friends with them and they're well worth a look.

cheers,

jeff.

[plcbmathilde]

WTF !!!! NERDS ? what are you talking about foals ,math class, metromomy and all the other bands aren't NerdS ! don't talk about stuff you don't understand !

[CassiusFA]

Guitar music that makes use of rhythmic taping and complex rhytms (which is why i said foals's drummer is probably better than arctic monkey's drummer).

It isnt some secret genre you know, everyoner can google search ''math rock'' and get a list of bands.

[jackwills101]

good shout i said this over a year ago about the drummer, but i was laughed of the park by friends who were caught up in the moneky's hype

[LKLNinja]

@fintondean basically good music with individual notes usually played above the 12th fret. there can be chords too.

Look up tubelord, meet me in st. louis, this town needs guns, colour and The Edmund Fitzgerald.

[garrybaboon]

Are you joking?

math rock is rock music with complex time signatures....so more then your avrage 4/4.

It has nothing to do with were your playing on the guitar, for good examples look up "hella" and "GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES!"

safe

[LKLNinja]

Yeh I see your point, but you're kinda straying to elitist math rock. I was mentioning bands which are like that (Edmund Fitzgerald) and bands which have those influences.

I will check out those bands though (Y)

[CoachinItthNitelak]

seen them them at oxegen

Every song was emmense!!!

[TheScaleInterpol]

XXXXX isn't a "new" song. The live version is a bonus track on the Antidotes iTunes download.

[123shiper]

In my opinion, the drummer is in a class of his own.

The band are immense. Cannot wait for the new album. Favourite band by a mile!!

[CassiusFA]

Ithink the guy who does their trumpet is from metronomy

[CURLS456]

no hes from antibalas

[plcbmathilde]

it's remembered me the crazy sax of James Chance (the sax machine) !!

[Faragnigskni]

i saw these friday night,, and they were world class,, thanks alot for posting this, they did 3 new songs,, and the start was 1 of them, fantastic, cant wait for new album!

[Gaddaf6]

Does anyone know where to get the full video of the set? I remember watching it on the BBC website like a week after glastonbury 2008 but now its gone ! ANy help?

[astronaughtXXXX]

i love this band so much :)

TLF //

[bazzadabeef]

2B s Vater Ideally or Pro mark, vick Firth. In that order....

Hope that helps Bravery fan..

[GaryThesnale]

TWO B's?!!??

[BazzaFD]

That's exactly what i though :).... Amazing how quick he is playing with tree trunks!...

[GaryThesnale]

I can barely play any foals kinda stuff unless im playing with chopstick sized sticks. I've never even seen or heard of that size =|

[BraveryFan420]

can someone tell me what size of sticks Jack uses?

[stubs999]

fucking amazing.

[TEZZLE27]

definately sums it up :]

[BogotaBT]

so sick

[Azethor]

Fucking Magic

Air sur la terre !

[iqota]

[lative]

african rhythms for the modern age.

[123shiper]

immense

these guys are on another level. the drummer is world class

[shnibbles6]

French Open - greatest song i've ever heard live :)

[wakefield240]

[SatanMcCarthy]

Yeah, and Jarvis Cocker on Sax

[SarahXDwooop]

you beasts :D

[yesitsconor]

nothing can beat 9 pure minutes of foals craziness.

[wreck93]

10 minutes would

[Zooxel]

DID YOU SEE JACK FLIP THAT STICK.

Oh my God that's incredible.

[LucaPigeonNeon]

BIG LOVE !!!

[shanks191292]

I love the way the trumpet guy is having a dance of his own too.

[dertopf]

great

[F1CO]

lmao, jack is very fast for catching another stick ;)

[alexispanidis]

fatty at 50 secs

[rochdalerules]

lol, yeah she is piggeeee lol

[retroremo]

that's a bit mean, I mean we all different sizes but god it looks like a chore for her to be there. I mean waht's the point going to glastoif you're not going to enjoy any of it. I would have loved to her reaction to jay z's performance. anyway as foals are not playing any major festivals this year due to recording I'm going to see them next year at roskilde festival next year. That will be part of my end of year 11 scandanavian exam celebartion vacation.

[rochdalerules]

Good idea, i'm in year 11 in england and i'm going to Reading after my exams, should be cool :)

[LKLNinja]

haha same here!! I think foals will be palying at Reading, I mean, they are playing at T in the park and a few other festival, and there are about 5 other stages yet to be confirmed so they'll probably be on those.

[DeanFaggotNOT]

what a munter

[joshisnotposh008]

i kow, she looks like she's thinin "who the fuck are the foals, and where is my burger?"

[timbo374]

AWESOME.

[djsmithy]

Update: I have fierce issues splitting the other parts up, they loose audio for some reason.

Send me a pm if ye want a link.

[alexispanidis]

[rochdalerules]
