Arcade Fire - Ready to Start (Unstaged)

[lisimar02]

cool

[ToSSpLaY]

Seen them live. Skeptical at first. Not my favorite genre... BUT! Amazing musicians! They would all change instrument after every song, and incredible showmanship (is that a word?) All in all, I have immense respect for this band.

[ibannezer]

3:03 Ian from Smosh!

[4grandma]

why this song reminds me of last nite by the strokes? >.<

[junkydrummer]

@4grandma because you have obviously been smoking some of amy winehouse's crack

[4grandma]

@junkydrummer i dont listen amy whimehouse. u obviosuly been smking some of arcarde fire crack.

[iampower714]

So much talent in one band!

[beforethree]

how to make perfect song (s) .. uncredible band.

[rahcip]

two drummers!!! ? whats the point ?

[vann1215]

@rahcip

umm... good music?

[KnightTheArsonist1]

@rahcip It gives it a militaristic feel, it allows one to keep a regular beat and the other to add embelishment, and it's just really cool. A lot of artier metal bands use two drummers as well - off the top of my head I can think of Cult of Luna, Kylesa and The Melvins.

[melovetorun]

Weed, girls, beer and Arcade Fire.

[jimmylindo777]

I prefer the another one video, is more full of energy; and like a lot the dancer-drums!! hehe :)

If you agree: Thumbs up!!

[kibbsy]

Best band in the world

[jovifcp]

SBSR!

[oilers1027]

A lot of great songs come from bands when they bring in additional instruments namely violins. Arcade Fire has these as a band in all their songs and it songs great. Wish more bands would bring in non traditional instuments. thumbs up

[nuggz503]

These guys are like the slipknot of indie rocks. Except no clown or guy with a dilldo nose. Good stuff

[Doohs12]

A man at 3:31 just like Thuston Moore!

[skilful21]

I party so hard all alone when I listen to this song.

[kaberle24]

Esta banda fucking rocas/ This band fucking rocks!

[elom22]

arcade fire SUCKS! this ugly guys don't know how to sing!

[themrgarybusey]

@elom22 and you cant spell idiot go back to school

[citylightslikerain37]

@elom22

i bet y'all a million bucks this elom22 person is hideous and tone deaf. (:

[hoteoin28]

@elom22 Your a big retard, This band here is special because their music is different compared to anyone else. Take the wax out of your ears before you start making stupid statements like that.

[Beauyeahiknow]

@elom22 you are a disgrace to humanity

[mysteryskater48]

@elom22 Something tells me you like Beyoncé, and Justin Beaber.

[RueArsins]

"hi i'm Matt, and i'm Kim, And we're Matt & Kim"

Wow, i'm glad they said that, i had no idea what their names were.

[hyderulez94]

Indie rock fucking rules

[skribbal]

Great band. The violinist makes me want to play the violin. Amongst other things.

[beavaroo62]

Win is David Byrne's and Neil Young's love child.

[afonsot12]

I'm Portuguese, I'm twelve and I think this band is amazing. They play with pascion and they are musicians. It's incredible how do they can play with so many instruments and have this beautiful music. I thinj they are one of the better bands in the world... They are great!!

[TheFilipe75]

@afonsot12 podes crer que sao afonso,....e se tudo correr bem vou vê-los no super bock super rock em julho!um abraço tuga!!!

[justintherescue]

Regine is amazing.

[luidria89]

perdon, acaso sabes tocar? ellos no conocen estereotipos, ellos si aman la musica mejor no comentes nada si no sabes

[tai77]

lol the kings of leon slagged them off.

[yournextnightmare]

@tai77 it is funny because kings of leon have absolutely nothing on Arcade Fire

[Saltaelabismo]

Es una banda sobrevalorada. Son musicos normalitos, lo que pasa que la gente se deja llevar por que piensan que mientras mas musicos hay, las canciones pueden ser mejor. Eso casi nunca puede ser asi. Los acordes que utilizan son sencillos muchos musicos para poca cosa.

[Sacsco]

@Saltaelabismo No tildes a la gente de ignorante. Está claro que los componentes del grupo no son los mejores guitarras, bajos, pianistas ni bateros. Pero tienen cualidades que los hacen únicos. El sentimiento de su música, sus letras y todas sus extravagancias les hacen destacar. A unos gusta y a otros no. No hay por qué decir que están sobrevalorados. Y sinceramente, creo que lo que has dicho de más músicos es una estupidez pedante en la que te has proyectado tú mismo. No va por ahí la cosa.

[Saltaelabismo]

@Sacsco yo estoy hablando de Arcade Fire, no de David Bisbal. Me basta saber que te gusta Shakira para saber en que direccion va tu concepto de lo que en realidad es musica. Se feliz con lo que piensas y sigue escuchando enrique iglesias. Hasta nunca ser humano inferior

[Sacsco]

@Saltaelabismo Perdona si te e molestado. No era mi intención. No es para ponerse así.

[Davidazarserur]

@Saltaelabismo jajajajajajaja a ver pendejo estas hablando de los acordes que usan? has estudiado musica acaso? sus progresiones son jodidas, puro talento. cosa que demuestras carecer.

y acuerdate que no solo por saber mover los dedos en los trastes de una guitarra eres un musico.

te recomiendo que neta entres a oir eso.

[Saltaelabismo]

@Davidazarserur Tu lo has dicho: "No solo por saber mover los dedos en las teclas de un piano" ya puedes decir que es bueno y que no es bueno en la musica. No me vengas a hablar de progresiones y cosas asi, que hasta un chimpance sabe lo que es eso. Y no seas charlatan, que copiar este tema es mas facil que prepararse una torta de jamon. Te recomiendo que afines bien tus gustos musicales y no sigas como ormiga a falsos musicos.

[Davidazarserur]

@Saltaelabismo asi de convencional eres? no solo porque no tengan "solos" y ruido a lo estupido no es bueno.

y si ni te gustan tonses que chingados haces viendo sus videos?

ah y por cierto, no solo se mover los dedos en las teclas del piano. he dado conciertos de musica clasica en salones nacionales.

[Saltaelabismo]

@Davidazarserur ya ves que tonto eres? quien esta hablando aqui de "solos y ruido" otra cosa ¿no se que quiere decir chingado? y que tiene que ver que des conciertos en salones nacionales? jajaja que graciosa respuesta jaja. Ya me habian dicho que no discuta con mexicanos que son mas tercos y torpes que el chavo del ocho. jaja "conciertos en salones nacionales" jajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja­jajajajajajajajajjajaj

[Davidazarserur]

@Saltaelabismo jajaja si a los 31 años estas asi de jodido no me quiero imaginar en q vas a acabar. No te preocupes, deja este mundo de musica y de cultura para los que si lo pueden manejar. No hay espacio para gente como tu. Cuando crescas entenderas pequeño imbecil.

[Saltaelabismo]

@Davidazarserur ya ves ke vuelves a ser tonto? ke tiene que ver ahora tener 31 años? osea por ke tu tienes menos que 31 ó mas ¿eres mejor ke yo? jajaja ya me habian dicho ke ver el chapulin colorado trae sus secuelas. Me da risa y lastima ver ke por que tocas un piano ya te crees la ultima coca cola del desierto. Piensas que eres el unico mexicano ke tocas y sabes de musica? jajaja No queria ser duro, pero eres un ser humano inferior, hasta un chimpance toca mejor el piano que tu. ANALFABESTIA

[Davidazarserur]

@Saltaelabismo triste y patetico. Cualquiera es mucho mejor que tu. Ser humano inferior? Se q eso piensas de ti mismo. He tratado con gente como tu. Y es precisamente tu egocentrismo el que te tiene tan jodido. Se ve q no eres musico, se ve que no tienes talento, de ningun tipo y se ve que no eres inteligente. Solo un poquitito. No eres la jollita de nadie. Eres la desgracia de tu propia vida.

No soy el unico mexicano que sabe de musica. Mi pais esta lleno de gente con talento@Saltaelabismo

[yournextnightmare]

I can't think of a better song to start a set with than this, it is just perfect.

[Thizzpwnt]

@rockstarrist Unfunny and tasteless joke. How about something original, you troll? That 'drummer' you're speaking of is Regine Chassagne, and she can play more instruments than you can count to.

<3 Arcade Fire

[walruspower60]

Wow, Sweat.

[rockstarrist]

I know the reason for the bad quality in their songs - the female drummer ! Go back to the kitchen !!

[MiguelCamposTV1]

@rockstarrist haha not funny

[7399me]

@rockstarrist Boooooo!!! Go fuck yourself

[FluoresecentLiar]

after i listened thos song, my mind is totally open and i know, that i am ready to start, whatever it would be.

[MiguelCamposTV1]

That is one Awesome hairstyle Sarah!!!!!

[moosesnWoop123]

i wish i was in that crowd! :(

[renyV]

best song ever

[last0call0drummer]

good song and good show! they could have more people on stage xD one thing i don't really understand is why they have 2 drummers playing the same thing. unless they have a really good reason i think its just stupid

[caitlinyoungx]

I have so much respect for this band! They are unbelievably talented!

[KoiChannel]

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

[spidersoma]

I remember when I saw these kids opening for the Unicorns inside a small venue here in Austin, TX for about 150 of us. How the times have changed!

[Lildrummerboy50]

They dress really well... just saying.

[JenniferNuce]

Amazing, Arcade Fire, I can breathe again.

[ihasch]

They are kind of a rock orchestra, but it's nice to see a band playing instruments.

[stereocincava]

2:46 I love his energy during the entire song, that guy really feels what is playing... I like him (sigh)

[nataliafaun8]

@stereocincava IKR!

[ninefivesuited]

All they new is a Chello and they're the new ELO. But, they do freakin ROCK! A lot of talent in Arcade Fire.

[principerojiblanco]

Arcade Fire es más grande que The Beatles! / Arcade Fire is bigger than The Beatles!!

[MrFalinor]

1:04 - i love her smile :)

[Stumoo]

I don't think Arcade Fire have enough people on stage.

[zepdrummer444]

@Stumoo they should get the brass and woodwind section back

[birdonawi]

max headroom meets joe strummer! hahaha ARCADE FIREEEEEE!!!

[chukmaty]

His shirt seems like it is right out of Blade Runner :D

[agedskate3000]

I was there the whole fucking crowds were on there feet screaming a dancimg not one living organism was in their seat so shut up.....the audio is just fucked up

[elultimoingenuo]

I was listening to this song all the time, as often as I could.

More than 12 hours away from Tokyo to London with British Airways!!!!!!

PLAY and PLAY AGAIN, PLAY, PLAY, and PLAY AGAIN, EAT, SLEEP, PLAY, and PLAY AGAIN,...

[preliminar]

wow...brilliant! :)

[Rauhwassermeer]

american express presents...fuck you vevo, just fuck you!

[ThatWierdKidd]

I love how theres hella instruments but instad of it sounding like noise it sounds like...

Maan, I dont even have the words.

[ginkgonk122]

I didn't know of them when they played at Oxegen this year so I missed them. Got into them in about September, been listening to them non stop since then. Guess how I feel now :'(

[saadle]

@ginkgonk122

They're headlining Electric Picnic this year :D

[comacful]

@saadle cant wait 2 see dem again was at d 02 b4 xmas day wer unreal....Interpol at picnic aswell y r we being spoilt musically.....pity probably...

[rockerjcc]

Hey I reviewed this amazing album as my latest album review. I was kind of hesitant at first, but now I am officially an Arcade Fire fan. The review's on my page if anybody's interested.

[Electricninjafish]

I bet they thought it was so clever to start the show with this song.

[beforethree]

vevo fucking bullshit

[KoiChannel]

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

[condorjq]

i reget of not going to this concert, im wheeping right now.....pls come back!!

[JoelsTunes]

Everyone, including myself, is a fucking idiot.....too quick to judge everything and everyone....this is good fucking music but if you don't like it whatever, listen to something you like but don't fucking knock others, what a waste of a lifetime

[RoCK7HooLiGaN]

this band is just soooo average srsly

[midnightsurprise1]

daaaaang, canada has so many talented musicians!

[cyanatelolwut]

i wanna see them live so badly.. hopefully with their new found popularity that will happen

[akatsukiyondaime2]

3:02 i didn't know owen pallet performed with them on this. =)

anyone who appreciates good music should check him out. He does all the string arrangements for Arcade Fire.

[gogolplex74]

@akatsukiyondaime2 yes shame that he is gay

[unitedwellfall]

Good band and all but i feel two drummers are unnecessary

[roso614]

@unitedwellfall no

[lilodevil]

aye what is it with american crowds you allways just find them standing there like they got dragged along to a gig ? i dont get it ! they should all be rocking out to this you dnt have to know the lyrics to dance

[Sonik117]

@lilodevil Just wait 'till they come over to the U.K. That Hyde Park gig will be fucking insane.

[fuzzypickle90]

FUCKING COON!!!!!

[dialedIn087]

they are so nasty

[dialedIn087]

they're so nasty

[criplefoot760]

a great tune !!!so happy for them for winning grammy so sick..i had to stay up to see them play..worth it ..when you coming to escondido ca?hahaha kidding but seriuously san diego maybe?

[RottenHamburger]

My favourite is the ginger guy and Win

[rforfakes]

How do you fit this many people in a recording studio?

[Jimhupponeword]

@MockingbirdLuck13 Nirvana is one of the single most overrated rock bands ever.

[joeking88]

I love the size of the band.

You don't see it often

[rforfakes]

@joeking88 Yeah I know? haha... I just wish they would make more money off of it... Im sure they split the money evenly so they probably make as much as a standard worker

[charles4hl]

wtf mormons......!

[Boweavel]

If your australian and/or a triple j listener you'd know every song off by heart, Hopefully the grammy win will also bring perks for this band.. like hairstylists... :D

Congrates Arcade Fire!

[rsvpnow]

f*cking incredible band.

Thank you Grammys.



[NuclearMisfit]

@:47 I'm in love.

[23ardii]

wooooooooooooow!!!! winnerS of the grammy's 2011 de album of the year!!!! amazinG!!!!

[caitlinyoungx]

26 dislikes? weird... (;

[gargantua4]

Anyone else get the Mormon advert before this video?

[gilkful]

nirvana is a copy of the pixies

[ProtstTheFuckingHero]

@gilkful pixies are alright, Nirvana are legends, so even if they did copy they did a way fucking better job and you cant say shit.

[Nieves57]

Tunes Award Winner 2010

[nfg99]

I havent felt this way about a band since Nirvana

[majusik1]

good song

but still prefer studio version

[rforfakes]

@majusik1 the lead singer is more pronounced in the studio version, but actually i like them just as well live, probably because the size of the band impresses me

[hoislas]

fuck off it´s amazing this song¡¡¡

[tai77]

FUCK OFF ADVERTS!

[annaloap89]

And if I was yours, but I'm not

[annaloap89]

And if I was yours, but I'm not

[infinitetalents25b]

terrible artists

[XxIndieKiddColaxX]

Deserves so many more views!

[eagleshamscott14]

3:01

that guy looks super sarcastic 

[roprika]

they are so fuckin BAD!

BEAUTIFUL

[vevev]

@AgentMerk that's Owen Pallett

[IsaacQuinnHorton]

"Hey guys, lets all shave half of our heads off!"

the result, a majestic band.

[thommyknox]

To be fair to the crowd this was recorded literally just as the album had come out and it's difficult sometimes to get into the stuff you don't know as well. I imagine they're alot better in the Funeral era songs played at this show. Plus there are a bunch of people dancing around still. On the other hand they have no excuse not to have it constantly on repeat as soon as they got it and learnt every word to sing back at them, such was The Suburbs amazingness.

[shazbot126]

@thommyknox legit feedback dude, I was at this concert dancing my ass off because I had the cd on repeat the day it got leaked. I was pretty disappointed to not see as many people grooving with this, such an amazing opener i can still feel it.

[shazbot126]

@thommyknox legit observation dude. I was at this concert dancing my ass off because i had The Suburbs on repeat since the day it leaked. I was bummed to not see as many people rocking out. I mean especially on "Ready to Start" as an opener, how much more epic can it get?

[AgentMerk]

WHO'S THE OTHER VIOLINIST!!!??? NOT SARAH. I NEED TO KNOW! THIS IS A CAPS LOCK SITUATION!

[MrNotafatkid]

i love his hair cut

[Spac3man88]

Thats what i call a really bad crowd ¬¬ Amazing song though

[paradox2776]

1:06

[jorge1997blue]

im a guy but im pretty sure i just had an orgasim

[doodletownpipers]

@jorge1997blue

don't worry, guy's can have them too

[BequiDelarge]

sarah has so many muscles! LOL

[cbrandom]

hey Vevo faggots, I'm going to boycott every product in every commercial you fuckbags make us watch. Just FYI.

[lemans24fan]

@cbrandom and it only seems to be getting worse....... im about done with this site alltogether........

[wiggy989]

Best band in the world. I've seen some big bands live (Arctic monkeys, Kings of leon and coldplay) but none of them had anything on Arcade fire. I've seen them twice at leeds festival and in manchester. At leeds Win threw his mic into the crowd and I caught it, best moment of my life <3

[VonSeux]

groovin Bass

[anneynico]

come on people, move !!!

[yupitsme09]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

[MontrealMMA]

New York crowds suck. They're so fucking jaded

[agusohyeah]

@MontrealMMA i was there and when it ended the guy sitting next to me told his friend "well, it wasn't as bad as i expected"

[djsasquatch69]

@MontrealMMA they prob just made the croud quiter so u can here the bang

[climber910]

@MontrealMMA You should see any video from their concert at Mexico City... Believe me, THATS a crowd :)

[connington72]

@MontrealMMA - you have either never been to a show in NYC or you just don't grasp the technical concept that when bands put out live videos, some drown out the crowd noise

[proveskater]

@MontrealMMA Try playing in Nashville

[bruceleelukalike]

@proveskater Try playing in California......marijuana,booz­,and hot CHICKS!!!!!

FUCKING INSANE!!!

[oweyniners]

@MontrealMMA Never understood why people are so arsed whether the crowd are going ape shit or not.... maybe their just contently listening? They obviously want to be there or why would they bother going. Or maybe I just have that point of view because I cant dance for shit...

[iminochrasy]

Epic song. Hope to see them live some time.

[snakestorm123]

Seeing them in glasgow tomorrow night. I just watched this and nerdgasmed.

[PattleProductions]

great band :)

dead crowd :(

[moiaussi38]

arcada fire, come to montreaaaaaaalllllllllllllllll­lll:(

Amazing

[smorr08]

Unreal

[dimflamingo]

I'm seeing them in Cardiff on Thursday, can't wait.

[RMrider57]

must take a long ass time for them set up
