@mustupac Back in 2004 Franz Ferdinand was one of the biggest bands with this song being played all over the radio...so that's why they are acting so excited.
Well, the bassist was responsible for that. He was stomping and it's almost obvious that he unplugged his own instrument with his foot. Unfortunate but it sounded really cool. A happy accident, I guess.
@xtreme1881 Indeed, like most songs of FF ... actually i'm a lead guitar player and know how important is the bass in a band, as any other instrument, isn't it?
@xtreme1881 Listen to how empty the music sounded when there was no Bass... Bass gives the music depth. I'm a bassist myself. I fucking love that Rickenbacker Bass he's got! It's sick!
I'd have a freakin' myocardial infarction playing in front of that many people. Look at them going ape shit. I don't think anybody there noticed the bass cut out. Rock and roll!!!

@birchtree39 yes... but u have to see the crowd from argentina ;) that's the best crowd in the world for many bands!!! like guns n roses , pearl jam , megadeth.... etc...
@sivaband its not so much that bass doesnt matter its just that bass is piss easy and anyone can play it so it jst like an instriment for fail guitar players noone cares what happens cause they can be replaced strait away
