Arcade Fire - Rebellion (Lies) live

[MikeyD9]

43 people have heavy eye lids

[johanbove]

The energy is fantastic! I can feel it even here at my desk.

[Simon0]

i stayed up late last night cause sleeping is giving in.

[jlcpeintre]

Superbe tounne. De vrais Montrélais. Yeah!

[sebadrum16]

yo where is Will????

[Schoolin113]

Is it me going crazy or is Win playing his guitar backwards?

[hojun7273]

how the fuck did they manage to fit the whole band in that small ass stage

[kcarollee]

@hojun7273 size dont matter for a great performance X] as you might already know

[hojun7273]

@kcarollee oh hey Karl

[Simon0]

@hojun7273 my theory is they used they're experience of playing tetris on the gameboy to help slot everyone onto the stage.

[lovelivelaugh004]

Gahh, I just love themmmm.

[dermotbyrne]

No, I'm pretty sure that's the same guy in Broadwalk Empire -

always playing with his silly floppy hair.

[FifiDebord]

Oh wow, I have just learned about Websites like Wikipedia and Myspace where I can check things like cast-lists for major HBO Dramas and line-ups for famous Canadian Indie Bands. I found them using something called "Google" which I had never previously heard of, because I have never used The Internets before. Never again will I make a mistake based on one person's similar appearance to another person on Youtube again!

[Ylviste]

@FifiDebord If Win being in "Boardwalk Empire" was a joke, then I am sorry, being in a bad mood, I didn't care to think if it was a joke or not I just wanted to bash somebody. I apologise for my comment. Even if it wasn't a joke, then I shouldn't have reacted the way I did.

[FifiDebord]

Most people don't realise that the lead singer played the character; Jimmy on "Boardwalk Empire".

[HanZo121]

@FifiDebord that was Michael Pitt

[Ylviste]

@FifiDebord You are stupid. I hate it when people don't check their facts before they make stupid statements like these.

[Unremarkable1000]

@Ylviste What's that bitter taste in your mouth?

[whiteyb9]

@3:42  LOL i wonder what they were thinking?

[wjf1950]

kind of u2....radio head....cold play huh?

[whiteshadow1110]

@wjf1950 I lol'ed. Get a clue, man. This is Arcade Fire sounding like Arcade Fire.

[crazycricket15]

@wjf1950 Win and Reigine would not name their child 'Apple'. Theyd name it a much more awesome food, like Pizza.

[isma1689]

thats Owen Pallett ?

[KoiChannel]

look up "while the city sleeps", similar big and colourful soundscapes!

[son0fsocal]

Yes I agree with you..their music turns my heart into jelly..

[laurapascalache]

Great song, awesome performance! They fill me with emotions.

[laurapascalache]

Great song, awesome performance! They are filling the audience with emotions and vibrations.

[puggy3242]

wow hehehhehe i luv themm soo muchhh <3333333

[GenesisTree]

this song is even better live.

[bushdoctor504]

these guys suck



[puggy3242]

@bushdoctor504 what you have no taste in music what-so-ever. You are going to go on a video just to say 'these guys suck'. douche. I mean seriously, who does that?! I think you just want to piss somebody off. You know, you might not think they are talented (which is totally not true), but they put way more passion into their music than those retarded rap singers. This is great music. You are not going to tell me they suck, becuase they dont. Their love for music makes everysong they sing magical

[jpdt007]

hipster music

[MrMistermoges]

@jpdt007 and you sir, win the faggot award today. Great Job!

[jpdt007]

@MrMistermoges Thanks but no thanks. You won the faggot of the DECADE award so ill let you keep it...you deserve it!

[gnr10166]

wow. just heard this song last night on coachella. where have i been the last couple years :'(

[MagneticZeroFlowers]

I wish people would stop criticizing this. It's good music! Even if you don't like it, they are nice people and don't deserved to be talked about that way!

[boojum420]

Fucking majestic performance. A great tune but a truly awesome performance. I keep coming back to this just to remind myself how it should be, how bands should play.

[stillwhising91]

fuck man,win is hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttt­tttt

[jouetdudestin]

@stillwhising91 I couldn't agree more. Did you watch their rock en seine videos of 2007?

His beauty nearly kills me

[stillwhising91]

@jouetdudestin ah yeah man!!!!!!!i melted,he is all sweaty and i'm all melting.ahhaha

[nyfootballgiants1]

@BrianCulticeMusic any music where the artist puts his soul in it, and doesn't feel homogenized, you can see the NY dolls, the Ramones, Alice in Chains, The Talking Heads,Dave Matthews, Sarah Maclahlan, Santana, Clapton,Elton John, The Police, Black Sabbath(the greatest rhythm section in all rock n roll), The Stones,The Doors, The Cure,Tears for Fears,Miles Davis,and on and on and on, and you'll see the passion for their craft, they don't have to be fugazi (fake, not the band)

[nyfootballgiants1]

why those that cock faced singer makes those idiotic expressions? did he go to the eddie vedder stupid faces school? i tell you canadians are hell bent on making horrible sounds, what's worst this or the bieber? why would any one try to buy or steal this crap is beyond me. The Arcade Fire is the apex of the reality t.v. syndrome since most so called artists out there are auto tuned; most dumb ass hipsters feel that this crap is the only "real thing" out there it makes me cringe barf barf

[BrianCulticeMusic]

@nyfootballgiants1 Whats your idea of good music then? If you are going to criticize, give me some better options.

[jonny26281]

@nyfootballgiants1 well fuck off and listen to limp bizkit and go beat up your mrs if you have one.

[nyfootballgiants1]

this is crap, it drives me crazy to see record labels try to market these fagots and freaks as original. the only original thing about this band is that mongoloid pianist. the worst talking heads rip offs of all time. i would be insulted if i was david byrne his left nut probably has more talent to spare than this abomination it surprises me how stupid our youth is to like this. this is worst than watching an infant choke to death while their mom gets rapped with a jackhammer

[Hambone75891]

they suck so much

[grovegreener]

a performance for our time!

[KoiChannel]

arcade fire fans should look up "while the city sleeps, title track" similar big and playful soundscapes!

[Vexed34]

It's like Tiny Tim had a child with that faggot from The Cure... only its more boring...

[donmega054]

@Vexed34 its more like if god and jesus existed, this is what they would listen to. fucking incredible.

[Vexed34]

@donmega054 Live at the Pepsi Colliseum- it's that clique of coddled snots from band! Three chord crud gaily banging its head against the wall for four and a half minutes! Tickets are on sale now!

Jesus was a bit of a wimp from what I know, so yeah he'd probably be all over this. I doubt that the almighty is impressed with anything we do; but I know for a fact that the Holy Ghost listens to Queens of the Stone Age.

[Outrjs]

Silly snapping turtle

[benniets]

he does that every time on this song, its to keep rhythm

[jdthunder666]

@benniets silly little chicken.

[googlevideosrule]

singers a fucking dumbass - hes got his guitar the wrong way around wtf hahaha - wat a dumb cunt

[jdthunder666]

@googlevideosrule silly goose

[calebyyw61]

@googlevideosrule yur so clever buddy,

[googlevideosrule]

@calebyyw61 Use proper English you dumb yank. Its not "your so clever," It's "your very clever," idiot.

[MegaLlamas1]

At the end it sounds like Win says "Wayne's World!"

[MegaLlamas1]

Arcade Fire: Men of many hairstyles

[erfer666]

At the beginning you can see him turn his guitar over - maybe they had to do a couple of takes, and he was trying to mess with the continuity?

[jahana75]

I love arcade fire and especially love this song, but this sucks. Win and the backup singers all sound horrible! I love the recorded version but this doesn't make sense.

[jouetdudestin]

@jahana75 for me it's the exact opposite :) I love this version.

Win's voice sounds so fragile and on the other side all this energy coming up...incredible.

[jahana75]

@jouetdudestin Yeah I agree that this has more energy than the recorded version

[JaeJolie1985]

I love Arcade Fire. They're friggin' amazing and Win Butler has a gorgeous voice!

[placeborazz]

this track is amazing...They are really a nice and superb band...keep up the good work down under !!!!

[jgariano3]

Great tune!

[OutlawLeFemme]

If you don't like it don't watch or listen. I think they're great

[andyholmes121]

<3 arcade fire.

[fuckcarrots82]

@PenniKalata45

Nah Im good thanks

[RoboPimp3000]

Best opening to a song ever.

[MrAsianPersuasion824]

1:12 when you see it, you'll shit bricks

[awedbyGod]

@MrAsianPersuasion824 WTF?! WHY IS HE PLAYING BACKWORDSSS?!

[BestAtNothing]

@MrAsianPersuasion824 That is fucking hilarious.



[lladsbid]

i saw them live last night. They're better live than they are on record, which is really saying something.

It was the very definition of awesome

[Hogand04]

Fuck having to follow that...

[gosplash]

This would have to be one of the best gigs this band got to play... I dunno... It seems like no matter what the audience would do, did do, was doing, the whole song and the band's momentum just took over and they excelled all of everything. I adore this clip!

The song was always grand, but this execution of it is always going to lift me up.

[AriusMaximus]

Win became a much better singer in five years.

[landcrabs]

Where's Will?!?

[hejcoze]

@landcrabs Exactly!

[MG53895]

i love regine!

[James1954May]

I didn't know Wal-Mart had an employee band.

[mosdomo]

@James1954May Hahaha, Jamesmay, do you just spend your time trolling Arcade Fire videos? I saw the turmoil you created on a couple other vids bahahaha.

[James1954May]

@mosdomo Did you notice my positive comments on other vids then? By the way pal, your comments are right next to mine, the difference being I'm in Egypt after India and before Paris. Any way, I changed my mind; I like AF now. And John Denver, and kitty kats and dolphins and rainbows and unicorns and bubbles and Haiti and corn shit. Have fun riding your bicycle over shucked corn husks amidst the snow in some small shit hole in Indiana.

[mosdomo]

@James1954May hehehe, you're kinda cute. Have fun liking your kitty kats and rainbows and dolphins.

[Amunkriket1]

@mosdomo He just doesn't like hillbillies. All AF lacks is some gap teeth and a Jed Clampett hat and someone playing a saw. They're the Hatfields and I'm the McCoys. Is this some new fad of cool, hillbilly chic? Kinda like grunge but with an Appalachian twist? I don't get it but I like fads. When are they gonna be on Sesame Street teaching kids how to whistle through the gaps in their teeth? The wife kinda looks like Mammy Yokum and just needs an upside down pipe to complete the picture.

[Sergio0Oo]

jesus fucking christ... now thats a nice performance

[KarmaPoliceman158]

1:12 win makes epic win

[igorvianamueller]

Just an indie Slipknot...

[mittenman22]

@igorvianamueller yeah absolutely, tell us more of the storied past of slipknot and how it influenced you to smoke hash off of your stepmothers filthy stove.

[KarmaPoliceman158]

@igorvianamueller shitknot sucks

[daddyfatsaxohten]

@igorvianamueller id be interested in hearing where the fuck you get that idea from :P even though it isnt necessarily a bad one

[imnothere17]

meant to type 05 my bad. the year when they filmed the coachella movie. you can actually see me in the bright eyes "lua" video on here

[harveyhallett]

Is that Napoleon Dynamite singing at 1:47?

[l33tpwnzord]

Back when Arcade Fire was good

[smallisland12345]

@l33tpwnzord back when they were good ? how ignorant are you?! cant have listened to the suburbs if you're making claims like that man

[l33tpwnzord]

@smallisland12345

I've listened to all of the suburbs several times through.

How long have you been an arcade fire fan? 6 months?

[imnothere17]

@l33tpwnzord personally ive been listening to them since i saw them at coachella in 06. the suburbs was such an incredible album. they're still an awesome band, your just butthurt for some reason. or just a troll. honestly i dont care either way. if you reply to this and try to "pwn" me like your name suggests than it'll be a wasted effort cus i doubt i'll ever watch this video again

anyways, amazing performance. jools holland always has the best bands

[l33tpwnzord]

@imnothere17

"Ive been listening to them since 06"

And therein the problem-- funeral (what Rolling Stone rightly called the greatest album of the decade) was released in 03

[Colourbend]

@l33tpwnzord actually I think funeral was second, kid a was first

[smallisland12345]

@l33tpwnzord funeral was released in 2004 actually, and as someone said kid a was first in rolling stones top albums of the decade list, funeral was 6th. Get your own facts right before highlighting others' "problems" haha

[l33tpwnzord]

@smallisland12345

Most of the songs from Funeral had been released on an EP prior to 2004 in 2003.

Oops. I win.

[smallisland12345]

@l33tpwnzord yeah but that isnt what you said. " funeral was released in 2003", which it wasn't, were your words. and " oops. i win" .... get a life

[lladsbid]

@l33tpwnzord 04 actually, but lets not split hairs.

[James1954May]

@imnothere17 Good, in that case you won't have to read about you being a pretentious moron whose sole claim to fame is liking a WalMart employee band several months before other morons did. I'm imagining you watching Bangles videos while eating mashed potatoes out of a giant bowl with a giant spoon. If this awful band did that on stage I'd probably have more respect for what are one of the more humorless bands around as are their defensive and worshiping Jonestown-like cult fans.

[smallisland12345]

@l33tpwnzord i saw them in 2003 before they'd even released Funeral, thanks. don't get in petty arguments, just appreciate the music

[erlvarez123987]

look at my vids i saw arcade fire live please comment

[erlvarez123987]

look at my vids i saw arcade fire live

[silvanah45]

1:51 : )

[ottobenetu]

bom e agora isto

[diggingupdinosaurs]

these people are my heros :]

[Chintiki16]

1:21 Is it me or he's playing with his guitar on the other side haha!! funny :)

[edgarkiller]

@Chintiki16 HE IS!

[sam199166]

@Chintiki16 he does that everytime, not just this time... I guess is some sort of inside joke, or a "lie" that song imply?....

[doggcrappDAVE]

@sam199166 it's so he keeps in time i think

[platypae333]

@Chintiki16 You get a better look at 1:15 I think he is though

[FatMat426]

@Chintiki16 He's probably just keeping time with the rest of the musicians, or he's nervous & needs something to do with his hands while singing.

[PeterMusicEater]

This is REAL shit.

Real Soul.

Real music.

[mickykiiatein]

it would be pretty weird if you were the person that he stares at the whole way through the song

[Kiewicz92]

1:47 LOL xD

[debiedog1]

Regine is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chrisgeedoublezyo]

the singer probly doesent get much girls, but he's DAM good at wat he does

[areabum]

@chrisgeedoublezyo He's married to the babe playing piano

[IAmTheNightingale]

@chrisgeedoublezyo The keyboardist, Regine, is his wife :D

[sebadrum16]

great performance......but where the hell is will???

[11joshman]

what's with the guitar upside down?

[Josh2658]

WOW................. I love this

[nikolaistrokero]

Dude got the guitar upside down.. 

[daveboy2810]

what does he say at the end where he normally says "you been lied to"?

[pdxtosca]

@daveboy2810 Really hard to tell, but it sounds to me like "you get what you paid for".

[MrValentyne]

To all you wanna be pop stars out there who dream of X factor fame and instant succes....Look and learn.This is called TALENT! Pure genius,but simon cowell wouldnt know talent if it bit him on the nose,so they would probably fail the audition!!!I mean who needs arcade fire when you have jedwood?Pathetic!

[zzzaaakkkaaa]

total epic

[bgdaddykul]

Is it me, or is Regine' the most beautiful woman EVER!!!!!

[patrick43215]

@bgdaddykul just you im afraid

[debiedog1]

@bgdaddykul She does it for me, she is gorgeous!!!!

[doggcrappDAVE]

Can't wait to see these at Leeds

[shimokita2]

WTF? He was playing the back of his guitar and then I looked and he was playing the front of his guitar!

I don't think I've ever seen anyone do that before.

[porpoiserider]

why the fuck is he playing his guitar backwards? look at 1:13

[kenslinks]

@porpoiserider maybe to keep rhythm.

[cracksandwhich]

@porpoiserider It sounds better that way.

[aborins]

Arcade Fire's best song.  Awesome!

[MademoiselleUnique]

This is just.. EPIC!

[evan274]

nickelback disgraces canadian music, these guys brought back respect to canadian bands

[ImSoOffended]

@evan274 hardly, chad kroger has a distinct husky voice that can be remembered, he is also a great songwriter.

I find arcadefire very hit and miss with their performances.

[Mysterywhiteboy78]

just amazing...never heard a band like them...

[losf1969]

My favorite bands are from Canada & UK and some Australian.

[805cn]

these guys are weird lol.

[srapnel88]

FUCK THOSE WHO DONT LIKE THIS

[LizardGorgeous]

Masterpiece!!! 15 thumbs up

[jordyf81]

@mattg2103

ok im a british guy too but i agree with the canadian, here is my short list. arcade fire obviously, bran vann 3000 (genius), the stills, sum 41, sam roberts, the tragically hip, fiest, broken social scene. this is all i could get off the top of my head. some of them are more unique than others. but give a few a listen and see what you think.

[ninjacobra]

@jordyf81 Rush, Billy Talent, Nickelback (wich I hate), BTO...

[halifuckinfan]

@ninjacobra SLOAN! Tokyo Police Club, Metric! Canada puts out some cool stuff.

[rimbambin]

@jordyf81 U should listen to Patrick Watson from Montreal



[frankostarr08]

@jordyf81 Rush?! Metric?!!

[2sexygirls1]

leeds fest......Aug .get in.

[dacrimsonmask13]

Am I the only one who feels this???: everytime i listen to this song, starting from 3:48 and on, tears come out of my eyes, i feel like a lot of joy but nostalgic at the same time...

arcade fire it's pure magic, i love every second of this song...

[ipanda9000]

Yeah. I have to agree with all the Canadians here. I love the music that comes out of there. Wish these guys would hurry up and come back to Australia.

[TheValiance]

What other Canadian bands are there? I'm sure there are loads, but as a guy from Britain, besides these guys I don't know any...

[jts224]

@TheValiance broken social scene

[TheValiance]

@jts224 touche (cba with little accent thing) good sir!

[ThisIsMyName1234]

@TheValiance I would recommend: Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Stars, Broken Social Scene, Crystal Castles, City and Colour, The Dears, Death From Above 1979, Dinosaur Bones, Arkells, Tokyo Police Club, Wintersleep, Young Rival, Paper Lions, The Unicorns, The Balconies, The New Pornographers, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Winter Gloves, Yukon Blonde. All Canadian, all awesome (in their own right)!

[drstuartschneider]

@ThisIsMyName1234 You forgot chromeo

[shsnrod17]

@ThisIsMyName1234 crystal castle yeah!!! lol :]

[MattG2103]

I need a short list of other Canadian bands that are a) amazing and b) sound like no one else....  I'm dubious.

[PullingTeeth1]

@MattG2103

Sunset Rubdown, Wolf Parade, Modest Mouse, Swan Lake, Leonard Cohen, The Dears,

[Strummerville81]

love his voice!!!!!!

[MrHHMMHH]

[woodyfurball]

Qustion /Answer/ Arcade Fire are Brilliant sooo FOOKING Original but brilliant, you wanna comment on them what band you playing for? no cunt. now shut the fook up and go wipe yir bum, your mouth is like yir arse it smells of shit!

[iJackson1234]

It's funny i play my guitar backwards too

[CarusoV3i]

@iJackson1234 how the fuck do you play it backwards? why does he do that? at first i thought he must ahve been so high thath he forgot to turn his gutar

[underoath3silver]

@CarusoV3i for sure... then he realized that playing it upside down is fuckin' stylish!
