Blur - Beetlebum (live Glastonbury)

[kajnido26]

No me canso de escuchar esta banda y este tema en particular!!

[mica3202]

no puede sonar mas lindo :))

[lanoviadepetedoherty]

my damon before gorillaz (L)

[TheMooseman1971]

biebers bum.....full of cum

[pentura]

Is it just me or does it seem like Damon isnt putting much effort into this song :/

[zoeabfab]

So did I...lol

[lee9792]

i just jizzed

[huesosbajotierra]

Que buena canción hijos de puta!!

[kevsul47]

so ludicrously brilliant.

[shponglerox]

i love damon switches from his low voice to his high voice

[legend9286]

urm.... has anyone noticed Damon changing the words??

At the 'he's on' bit I'm pretty sure at one point he sings 'piss on me' and 'come on me'??

Anyway I still think they are one of the best live bands ever, I love this song too. Fantastic.

[slagmilkcard]

I'm sure you are aware of the phrase "Chasing the Dragon"? "Chasing the Beetle" is another phrase regarding smoking heroin. A "Beetlebum" is simply someone who sits around smoking heroin. Listen to the lyrics - it makes sense...further sense when you have smoked it.

[blubblubcat]

thats great advice, i'm sure.

[paddy260]

oh this is 98!

[paddy260]

missed this to watch the Prodigy who were bollox, absouletly sickened, bad mistake!

[brandonedge]

[54spiritedwill54]

[oatesy33]

[glastonburylover]

[taxmonkey123]

How I wish I was there!

[Bilisnikola]

Anyone can tell me where can I see the entire concert?? please

[imanegativecreep]

There's a website called blurcast, it's a Blur video website. The entire concert is on there. Check it out, it's an amazing set, one of my favourites.

[Bilisnikola]

Thank you so fuckin' much!!

[telecaster228401]

thanks mate

[blurrystripes]

hey people, I truly envy every single one of you who can go and watch them live... I'm from Argentina and have no possible way to get to see them now, so I hope you really have a great time

[SirHawkeyeWho]

Oh man I love these guys. Really hope I get to see them some day soon.

[joe646]

i've already got mine... looking pretty likely.

[joe646]

Praying for glastonbury headline 2009!!!

[Pure7pazaak]

I'm gettin a day ticket if they do. Don't care if its a 200 mile drive!

[therockromantic]

Only 210 more days :)

[ronostomo]

is it true that blur and oasis played different venues in bournmouth on the same day and the rival fans clashed?

[imanegativecreep]

They did do the shows, not sure about the fans clashing.

Got my Hyde Park and Glastonbury tickets!

[WierdPivotDude]

um....

I LOVE blur to death and woul die for them, but I noticed that his voice is not good live frequently

(dont get me wrong, I love blur forever)

[spallyman]

you would die for blur? what does that mean

[WierdPivotDude]

that means that I think they rock and their the best band in the world.

[nicefff]

i see what you mean but the music is so amazing who gives a shit its not like its burning your ears off lol :P

[Mullu29]

i'd like to hear you do it better!

[VaNSaNT85]

graham is the man dude...

[raym12]

Graham Coxon is truly a guitar hero, icon, whatever you wanna call it.

[bennyboykikass]

i think both bands are great. both two of my top 5 favorate bands. but if i had to choose i'd pick blur, just because they have more variation to there music. and i'am from the north so there you go.

[coxfire]

try "blur mishap at meltdown"

[bilwit]

What chord is he playing? (uses the same form/finger position but different frets like a barre but it looks weird)

[bilwit]

Damon, that is.

[Emoreallysucks]

He'll be playing barre chords but instead of barring it, he's using his thumb to fret the top string.

[ronostomo]

according to alex james biography, damon created a new shape which enabled him to play chords up and down the neck.

[LozJBell]

how does graham get that lovely sound on the outro riff? there's definately delay in there but it sounds like something more.

[PantheonLincoln]

Just delay and distortion. Nothing more.

Around the time this was shot, Graham used 2 ProCo Rat pedals for his main distortions, and a Boss DD-3 for delay. the Amp is a Marshall Plexi.

I've always liked Graham's tone on late 90's Blur stuff.

[saintmattio]

10 years ago

[filthee1977]

Graham the man.

[noelwannabe]

blur and oasis are two of he greatest band that have ever ame out of britain but oasis are better

[noogies]

and then you woke up.

[imanegativecreep]

Errrr, no they're not, how can you expect anyone to take you seriously with a username like 'noelwannabe'..... Hmmmm.......

[morbels]

Their songs are unique. Original compositions, not pop copies.

[imanegativecreep]

YES!!!!!!!! That's what I always say, and they change significantly between each album, don't stay the same and get boring like Oasis.

[bubupor]

exacto!!!

[Nigz98]

hate to tell you m8 oasis did change thier sound, on bere here now

and standing on the shoulders and on heathen chemistry and on dig out your soul

however blur do change alot which is pleasant and fresh unless you include 13 and thinktank which were just shit

[Nigz98]

please note that was to imagentivecreep

[suicidecrackers]

blur components are more 'artists' then oasis, they have the real musicians spirit

[KineticRic]

I know, people need to let it go.

Just except the fact that they were two bands with different musical interests.

One wasn't better than the other. They were just better than almost anything else at that time.

[freymaroto]

the bands were never on battle...were they??? theblur supporters and the oasis supporters were battling each other...but not the bands

[coxfire]

Actually, the battle was more media driven than a real battle between the bands. Still, they did not like each other, particularly Noel gallagher (who hates ervery other band...) who said he wished Albarn and James die from AIDS...

[imanegativecreep]

Blur are my favourite band and it did start with the media but the bands encouraged it. There wouldn't have been the sinle battle if Damon hadn't moved Country House forward to clash with Roll With It.

[coxfire]

Indeed, the charts battle may not have ocurred, but I do not think that would have change a lot the history, imo. By this time where america was starting to rule the world, Britpop/rock was the answer ans the media had their subject to cover, and, well, set up the whole thing. Personnally, I love both bands (the 90's albums particularly), think it is no need tho decide who is better, that is a matter of taste :-P !!!

[bennyboykikass]

yep u got it right ver.

[tomomoto]

Blur FTW.

[stufflol]

BRITPOP IS DEAD

IS IS TIME TO MOVE ON

Blur is brilliant band, but you can scream "blur is better than Oasis" till you're blue in the face, you wont change anybodies mind. seriously, it was more than ten years ago, get over it.

[rob83x2]

I'd say Oasis won the Battle of Britpop, but I prefer Blur.

[RhysAneurin]

But that's the thing, Blur left britpop behind them, so it doesn't matter. They moved on and created fantastic interesting and varying music, while oasis stuck to their same old bloated, boring pub-rock sound

[rob83x2]

I always thought Blur were more thinking-man's music, with a more technical and arty style.

[LozJBell]

oasis have two songs that they churn out under the same name over and over, blur have many different songs, each that sounds different and interesting

[xxDeadStarxx]

blur oasis. whos better. blur of course

[konzendouji08]

oasis is monotonous. redundant.

blur = innovation

[lockedoutagain]

oasis is much better

[mrgabe]

Sick stage design!

[soloyosoyasiyya]

oasis are better than this, but i like this song too

[ricklongo]

I love Oasis. However, i can't name a single song by them which is better than "Beetlebum". This song is a masterpiece.

[DorepoBASS]

both bands(oasis & blur) are awesome

[lautsprecher]

I quite like blur, but they are not even anywhere near as good as oasis!

[thejamman3plus1]

oasis are shit

[spongebobslushpants1]

sick!!

[dreadboystarchild]

video and audio out of sync but w/e

[Rajenkjn]

Awesome SONG! Oasis SUCKS

[peterhonda]

Lovely

[PeopleOnTV]

mint

[machieaveli]

Easily one of their best songs.
