FOALS: The French Open Live

[itsrenaful]

this song kicks ass!

[betty3269]

These skinny men can sure dance <3

I LOVE FOALS <3 why are they so amazing -__-

[lalalaMyOwnWorld]

I was wonderin'.. is this the band that only allows people 18+?

Since they 'have vulgar performances'

or am I confused? :V

Lmfaololol.

[Tato9412]

@lalalaMyOwnWorld yeah that's right, they used to do 'house parties' too but yeah they decided to make them ''legal''

[vealshanker]

this guy is my new favorite drummer! FN bloody hell!

[EstandarLOL]

Awesome drummer fuccccck!

[MrMckenzietyrone]

lots of air shagging.

[potchoker]

seen them at Glasto 2010 in the John peel stage... and i will never forget it.

[BatmanGrrr]

I love Yannis' dance at 0:39 ♥

[LeGrandFromage93]

Just looked up the lyrics to this song to find out that he's singing in french in the verse, i thought i just couldn't understand him!

"Un peu d'air sur la terre" (A bit of air on the ground)...

[benawesomeo]

i saw this band live @ glasgow last night and it was 100% the best live performance i've ever been to. i haven't see a band quite so musically talented who played as enthusiastically as Foals. you DEFINITELY have to experience them live to appreciate them fully. also i lost both my shoes by the second song, things got a bit rough, it was awesome. :D

[ChadTheCunt]

no no, i think you missed what i was saying. no doubt these guys are extremely talented composers, but when they play live they go off on their own little trips. that's what i meant.

[ChadTheCunt]

no way man. when you play shit like this, you don't think about it.

you just feel it. you lose sense of everything and just...jam.

[fishman2007]

which is very true cos if you watch other performances of this song you'll see how its different in many ways (in a good way of course cos foals are awsome )

[ChadTheCunt]

that's what makes a good band great. the ability to lose yourself in it and just go with it, and your bandmates are right there in the same state of mind as you.

THAT'S a fucking great band.

[KradricxMEM]

I literally yelled the lyrics when he screamed in French. My friends are like WTF? XD

[shnibbles6]

MEE TOOO! HAHAHA!

[mikestu139]

does andy roddick know about this song??

[andyinflames]

1.16...whats with the humping? lol

[a2afelipe]

he's got some really anoying shaggin moves

[mattcattt]

he REALLY likes his guitar is all =]

[carbonstixdrummer]

april=bloc party+foals how good can it get

[TIMPA921209]

just perfect!! cant get any better, and foals are easy as good as bloc party

[xxxpistolpetexxx]

shiz are there any tickets left for that?

[eddybrown123]

his voice fits in perfectly with the style of music!!

yeah, the guitar parts are not very hard but they're trying to prove that you don't have to be really good at playing guitar to make really good music!!!

[SkateDiMa]

perhaps the parts themselves arent so hard, but to get them into the whole rhythm thing is pretty hard though i think

[LKLNinja]

yeh, I know the structure quite well because I'm addicted to Foals, but we (my friends and I) had a go at performing this for music and they couldnt get their heads around the parts and structure of the song lol

[teenagelifeinglasgow]

un peu d'air surr la terre.

Beautiful.

Immense.

Incredible live.

[NJCLASH]

fucking good shit

come to fraNCE encorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre

[indigo3030]

They are amazing! Please come and gig in Scotland

[d0oli]

FOALS! Please come back for another awesome concert in NY!!

[Prankcalls101]

Their singer has a uniqueness to his voice that just makes you want to listen to him more.

[magicpie77]

yes, i agree. yannis is very distinct and seems very genuine. i love his style. their guitar work rocks!!!

[wonderfulwomp]

it's weird, they've said in interviews they suck at guitar, but a lot of the guitar parts are really difficult

[henzos1]

their guitar riffs are piss easy but for some reason they sound great.

[tommyk77]

The guitar parts are simple. It's the composition that's good.

[EvilGeniusWithGuns]

YES

also, some guitar parts are quite hard, especially rhythmically...

i would say yannis' voice is quite bad, but its his energy which makes up for it.

[neonfoxincolour]

he's an energetic little guy on stage. it looks like sometimes he's playing with his hair or hitting his head.

and I love the hard and cutoff guitar riffs, gives the song this edgy sound.

[andrewpickeringcople]

my ass their guitar is hard

u go learn some this town needs guns and come back and tell me that foals' guitar is hard

[wonderfulwomp]

i would, except they're liquid shit. and more to the point, i just meant rythmically, espcially on big big love. sorry if i offended you with my verbs.

[collectallfive]

I second this comment.

[AlexxxLloyd]

Their drummer is sick

[magicpie77]

yes, the drummer just kills...wow

[Olavfosse]

what ?!

is just the tape that is fucking crap ,

they are the fucking greatest !

[5cense]

I think you meant to say "they're the shit live"?

[NeatStar]

Jimmy.

You have recieved D Minus in basic music comprehension.

Please see me for a letter home and detention.

[coyel]

What that an insult, or just a sage comment on what music is?

[lumpfish99]

oh definatly sage....

[coyel]

Oh, lovely.

[edphilsanter]

Is it me or does this have a quicker tempo compared to the album version?

[purpleyorange]

They're all slower in the album, minus Red Sox, which is quicker!

[lafolie]

i also agree

[jono8192]

Un peu, d'air sur la terre! D'air sur la, d'air sur la, d'air sur la terre!

Nice song :)

[crosswalkernie]

I prefer this song live.

[ledzeppnam123]

druming is insane

[bonfires]

there was a demo version on an NME cd from last summer maybe... maybe it wasnt from that far back, i can't remember. it's more up tempo than the album version but the vocals arent as clear

[TheBigHam]

yah! i got that cd, its what first got me into foals, was october 2006 i remember cos its when i first started uni lol. how hardcore are we??? haha X

[bonfires]

hehe, can play the whole 'i liked them before you did' card

turns out buying nme from time to time can have its perks

[harryhendrix]

they have the live version on the bonus CD anyway altough im thrilled with the album even if some of the songs sound slightly different it still a fantastic debut from a great new talent

[08carrick08]

This song is addictive!!!!!!!!!!!!

[5cense]

i think the album version is ... different. I have the original I suppose I could make the MP3 available, but that wouldn't be too cool. There's another version I have when they played live in the studio in Austin last year that's pretty good and downloadable. Can't find it now though.

[oldscool10]

Hello i'm loving their stuff went to see them last week in Manchester and have fallen in love, but the album is so different to their live renditions. And what you have are amazing the best on Y.T. i would pay for the mp3 and would not upload them anywhere!

Please could you reconsider my offer.

[oldscool10]

Yes the album version is pants compared to this, does anyone know how i can dowload & convert this to my mp3?

[killjess]

yhe it is true. the single version is shit!

[titstroke]

iv heard the album version since my oringal comment n i rekon its okay still an awersome track tho nothin compared 2 the live version

[titstroke]

iv heard this song is disapointing on the record is this true???

[trickface]

I disagree, they cleaned it up. Apparently it's lost tempo but the vocals seem to be the same.

[titstroke]

yeh iv heard 2 differnt versions but i dno which 1 is the album version

[tiddelyjazz]

the album version is great...but the energy of this live is ace ace ace.

[atthedrivein198d]

i pefer the pre-album version but the album version is good in its own right...they've basically added more too

[chrisdvsmith999]

great video

[08carrick08]

Un peu d'air sur la terre

D'air sur la

D'air sur la

D'air sur la terre

AWESOME!!!

[ratgoseby]

the air on the ground, ow the air the air the air so softly

[birdseye90]

i appreciate that it's probably french (duh) but what are they saying?

[kingkongzillabong]

something about your hair

[squirtylike]

A bit of air, under the ground =)

[Aphexwig]

The lyrics mean "a little air on the earth" - Great song, especially live

[08carrick08]

Cool!

[oldscool10]

saw these guys live supporinting B'party and almost dropped my drink, they were awsome.

[richz7]

lovin it...roll on march...album time

[kittin517]

God Bless the fucking Foals! I love this band!

[pipya]
