idlewild - a modern way of letting go live

[crothersdaniel]

Awesome human band.

[Nanahara89]

Amazing Scottish band. Just going to say one thing. If it were an English band people from England would call them an amazing English band but it's cause they're from Scotland that they're saying idlewild are British to try and claim england help produce an amazing band

[CountFerodo]

wish I could find the video of Hell is for heroes on this show. that was awesome as well

[mardy68]

LOVE MUSIC,HATE RACISM...

[attendsanty]

I like this song.. but live they're not that skilled (yet)

[primarkopolop]

yeah who cares where theyre from really, all i care about is their music and thats why i like them, and i think some people are forgetting about other bands like bloc party, i mean the lead singer is black with an african name and the drummer looks asian, yet they are still considered a british band

[muzikmystro]

^_^ Awesome musicians

[mrbeast84]

I am scottish and british!

Idlewild are a scottish band!

Done!

[southgower]

I remeber watching this on c4 when it was aired. The girl at 1:12 still cracks me up!

[SirPaulMcFuckhead]

Me too - I was drunk on my sofa, it was excellent

[pritchardo92]

This sounds so awesome when its rough like this..

Idlewild are quality :)

[chemovio]

naa sometime in 2003

[theshontman]

Face it there Scottish!. i live in england, but i aint trying to claim there British cos i don't care that there from another country, all i care is that there a awsome band and scottland produces some of the besat bands around

[toyoboeIII]

british doesn't mean just 'english'- It includes English and Scottish . You are a bit confused by these labels so just enjoy the music I suggest.

[fuckopassword]

@toyoboelll fuck off you fucking english cunt. not that i particularly care about my nationality but mostly i think your reply here is ridiculous bc yr being such a pretentious kno it all "you are a bit confused by these labels". the meaning of a word is influenced by its popular conception via its connotations. almost no one scottish calls themselves british. => it is you who are confused. (sexually i mean you sick peado)

[leocoltuk]

thanks for the vid, havnt seen this for ages!

think this was wat got me into idlewild, was it broadcasted 2000/2001?

[tenfloors]

its funny that rod (the guitarist) is actually from leeds in ENGLAND eh?

[PhillipFlan2008]

ive heard this rumour? I heard that he was scottish, but lived in leeds and then went back to edinburugh to study. I read an interview with the Kaiser Chiefs and one of the members said that they used to work with him in a chip shop. Or maybe I wad reaming I dunno. I know Allan's from reading though, but got into Idlewild via supporting them with Desalvo...who are awesome...if not a little hevaier than idlewild and more reminiscient of converge..but still deserve to be check out.

[chris0taylor]

he is in fact from scotland but moved about alot in childhood from scotland, england france and america but is originally scottish

[guitar103]

My sis's best mate used to date him at school and she lives in edinburgh

[sharkace22]

dis songs deffo about drugs!

[Supermassive]

why? drugs arent a modern way of letting go?

[chris0taylor]

not a modern way but i can see what he is saying

[aaronclyro]

and its nice to be calmer about things lol. apologies for the agressiveness in my previous coments x

[Sexyconn69]

ahh dont worry about it, me too .. and yes, the detectives is a bad example haa

[aaronclyro]

pigeon detectives? eugh. you could have picked a better example than that. they make me embarrassed to be english..lol. erm, yeh i do understand that, there is always going to be a sense of patriotism. i think the guitarist from mogwai has a scottish flag on his guitar. it just bugged me that someone said idlewild are not brittish because they are scottish. i guess it was more a political thing i was getting at.

[Sexyconn69]

dude, i definatly agree with you, there are many great irish and enlish bands, all i want you to understand is that you get the pidgioen detectives who are an awesome english indie band, u2 who are a legendary irsih band, and idlewild, who are an amazing scottish band, and i know fore a fact they would want to be thought as a scotish band, same with biffy, than a british band, and you must understand that in some way

[WeezerFan666]

For ages I thought his second name was Womble ...

But that's an even better name, no? Roddy Womble, a true rock star ;)

[tspmcfarlane]

Roddy Woomble

[shoaibtube]

wats da lead singer's name?

[connormcl]

dude thats not british music thats scottish music ..

[DAandFrank]

when it's good, we like to call it british, it makes us feel better about the existence of mcfly if we can claim this as well.

[aaronclyro]

scottland is part of britain dumbass. this music is as british as british can be.

[Sexyconn69]

you have no fucking idea how different scotland and england are dumbass, if your american or someshit come over here for a year and see for yourself, and if your english, fuck the queen you wanker

[aaronclyro]

how much of a thickshit are you? whether you like it or not scottland is part of great britain. its a fact so theres no point argueing. oh, and if you wanted to know, im british. most of my favourite bands are scottish; biffy clyro, idlewild, mogwai. bet you didnt expect that now did you?

[Sexyconn69]

i dont care who you like or who you dont like .. if only you were a scot tehn you would understand the difference .. and yes i know that scotland is part of britian, that does not in anyway distinguish the people, the music, or the culture ..

[aaronclyro]

i never said it did. but this is still british music. its not ENGLISH music. but it is british. anyway, its not like you scotts are the only people who make good music. granted, you do. but there are many great english bands. oceansize? hell is for heroes? jetplane landing (irish?). im sure many scotts will agree with me on that too.

[Sexyconn69]

and i seen biffy the other night, best gig of my life, just thot i should add that lol :D

[aaronclyro]

yeah, likewise! i saw them in brum. absolutely amazing. they've been my favourite band for years.

[mrcat1990]

what the fuck does it matter where a bands from as long as there good doesnt mean shit and hwo can you put pigeon detectives in same catogery as idlewild pigeon d are just your average lary lads making ramshackly boring lib type tunes mainstream alternative idlewild make amazing different music

[israelpc]

I love them too, I saw them live in aberdeen in 2005 and they rock!! this is one of my fav songs. scottish fiction...

[duggro]

british music? scottish music yeaaah!

[staceys82]

God I love this band. just got tickets to go see them again. they're awesome live!!

[ragnarokhellfire]

this song's awesome, idlewilds one of the best groups around

[haysoos7]
