Arcade Fire - SNL

[1864892]

This reminds me of "Mountains Beyond Mountains"

[Nemova]

Fuck, this is too good for words...

[adammalo1234]

Never mind lol

[adammalo1234]

What is the name of this song, please?

[toniopsousa]

@adammalo1234 "We used to wait"

[brianmessmer7]

7 dislikes = 7 conservative douchebags

[adrian92107]

I love this! there musics so real.

[wangson]

i just can't get into this band at all.

[lizzierocks247]

Oh well you asked.

[bethanywhitebear]

My heart stopped when he walked up to the camera

[lizzierocks247]

I like this song but that guy creeps me out bigtime.

[iffytunes]

@lizzierocks247 bitch win butlers doin just fine without your support hahahah

[lizzierocks247]

@iffytunes Well excuse me. I'm only 11 and I like Win Butler but after he shaved half his head...

[iffytunes]

@lizzierocks247 i dont give a fuck

[StrOcc]

@iffytunes the insults are totally unnecessary. calm down.

[75Veritas]

Ladies and Gentlemen, zone out and commence drooling now over your Iphones. Slap your earbuds in and melt your brains to some wholly shallow muzak...ZZzzzz

[CliffsRiffs]

caught them one night on Palladia playing some festival (Glastonbury??) - blew me away. Wow.

[peoplewhoplaygames]

Lol these guys are so awesome I laugh when I watch them. And no this isn't sarcasm I like really laugh these guys are so amazing that I actually laugh. I want to see them live SO MUCH.

[isma1689]

OWEN PALLETT!!!

[unkommon2001]

@isma1689 It was him! I wasn't sure! Thanks for this :)

[snehesten]

I wonder how many offers butler has gotten about a solo career

[ratwhisker]

this is pure. like medicine.

[joeyverbeke]

When Win backs up at 4:10 he steps on one of the bass pedals and it cuts out hahaha.

[istetchthesun]

@joeyverbeke its great that the bassist immediately knows, proceeds to turn around while rocking out to push it back.

[lhrttz]

Win doing that Julian Casablancas thing with the microphone about 3:50 is fucking awesome hahaha

[L0veepanicc]

Win looks so fly with that hair haha

[trenton9]

I like a band that moves to their own music. Ever see performers literally stand still like a petrified corpse while showing no emotion throughout the performance? - Irritating.

[kolonymusic]

arcade fire=CR*P!!!



[juliakay5437]

Youtube, please make a "love" option! Like does not justify my feelings for this band!!

[Nemova]

@juliakay5437 Ahh, so true!!!

[adrian92107]

I've watched this video so many times

[blackjellybean111]

I <3 this band..I think they are amazing

[merkaba341]

@SuperNoobTroll go out and talk shit about them as much as you can! Free publicity for a band that knows how good it is despite your "well educated" assessment of them. I hope you enjoy your music as much as we enjoy Arcade Fire. Opinions don't really matter to anyone but yourself anyways.

[mysticmerman]

Amazing band! What a great performance!

[BertilUlfsson]

amazing songwriting, but what a stupid band. I wouldnt want to see these weirdos even if I got paid to do it.

[rajivk91]

@BertilUlfsson

...fuck off

[wakaw07]

@BertilUlfsson Ahhh, somebody is pissed at his lot in life?

[bleetrich]

@BertilUlfsson Haha. That post was funny as hell. Though they seem to be over the top artist weirdos in their demeanor during the performances, they are actually some of the most well adjusted, normal people you will ever see in the spotlight. Check out some interviews and you will see what I mean. Thanks for the laugh.

[wydebo]

Ah, spotting Owen Pallett. The evening just became 40% more awesome.

[xxxasleep]

owen is brilliant.

[merkaba341]

@SuperNoobTroll

That actually makes no sense at all. Did i miss the part where they didn't know how to play their instruments?

[SuperNoobTroll]

@merkaba341 yes

[CiaranNolan901]

they definitely aren't used to being confined to such a small space!

[SuperNoobTroll]

these douchebags need to stop hiding behind weird bullshit and learn to play their instruments

[strokes8771]

@SuperNoobTroll if these douchebags need 2 know how 2 play their instruments then why did they win album of the year u fucking asshole

[SuperNoobTroll]

@strokes8771 the magic of pro-tools, their producer, and the appearance that they are doing something original because they have a large ensemble. news flash: large ensembles have been around for hundreds of years and, if you take the time to educate yourself, 99.99% of them are superior to this misdirected noise

[strokes8771]

@SuperNoobTroll fuck off u probably listen to shit pop music like bieber and whatever and i hope understand this is progressive rock and i dont no if u no but there's a lot of bands that r this type of music so fuck off and listen 2 real music like arcade fire, cage the elephant, the black keys, and the beatles insted of katy perry and lil wayne

[SuperNoobTroll]

@strokes8771 ur gonna compare this embarrassment to the beatles?

[strokes8771]

@SuperNoobTroll im not comparing them 2 the beatles these guys will b remembered like the beatles cause there goo please u cant compare any one 2 the beatles

[NoClue1472]

@SuperNoobTroll

I like Arcade fire but even I must admit.

Successful troll is successful.

[jagratprovider]

arcade fire could play wall street!!!

with beastie boys and sonic youth!!!

why?

knot!

[Riebester]

Bono went into the SNL audience once and pretty much dry humped one of the women in the front row.

[FloryStardust]

Wow...Scarlett Johansson AND Arcade Fire...that's a fookin' Eye- and Eargasm !

[taichijones]

@MoreCappuccino - this is what is called music - no drug [including caffeine & Al] is more powerful than that within each of us individually

[Mr1flyfisher]

Peter Gabriel gets carried on his back through the crowd doing songs.



[dilaudid]

Win is presidential - seriously, reminds me of a young George Bush. God bless these young American bands, they are the foundation of our free capitalist democracy.

[talldrumking12]

@dilaudid

They're from Montreal dude

[PureMadness]

@talldrumking12 Win and Will are from Houston.

[Youngamerican17]

@talldrumking12

win is from texas

[TXTGX]

@dilaudid I hope you're kidding.

[zachi033]

I like the fact that when he's on stage, Win just does whatever the fuck he wants. Wether it's giving Regine a peck on the cheek as she sings, going out into the audience, or standing on a piano, he is usually the most fun to watch. Amazing song, btw.

[swkjfhskdjfhsdkjfh12]

Did you know that Arcade Fire only has ONE music video that isn't fully interactive? All the others have their own websites, since YouTube doesn't support interactive music videos without those stupid annotations.

[swkjfhskdjfhsdkjfh12]

Did you know...? The song, We Used to Wait, actually features the real PacMan themesong hidden within the song near the end. This works like a pun; An arcade game song inside an Arcade Fire song

[thehappiestcamper]

Crap. -_- I kind of squealed when he walked up to the camera. I'm a fan girl now! >_<

[MultiXavi3r]

is OWEN PALLET there???

[DeadMoose01]

@MultiXavi3r Yes that is Owen Pallett! I freaked out when I saw him there too!

[MultiXavi3r]

@DeadMoose01 wowwwww thats is so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jeastube1974]

Love this one too!

[HylianSwordsmanTy]

What song is this?

[phantasmo14]

@HylianSwordsmanTy We used to wait. Its on their album The Suburbs.

[stersnevet77]

Sings, claps, walks around. Great. But where did the friggin' mic stand go. Oh, there it is. He's almost a magician musician.

[jellydude7]

Kind of bad that they played on the worst episode of the season.

[GLBizzie]

@jellydude7 are u kidding ? That is one of the best episodes this season

i mean this season was realy bad. but this episode, the season finale, the rihanna episode and the kings of leon episode are the best <3

[MrWaterFireThunder23]

you can see Scarlett's bra

[pollywolly67]

I've never seen a band so absorbed by the music and so moved by it that it's soo powerful to watch and listen to.

The fact that they believe in the music and that's all that matters to them is actually what has made me a huge fan of theirs

I love Arcade Fire <3

[1235788888]

@pollywolly67 If the number at the end of your user account means the year you were born then you should have seen HUNDREDS of bands that love the music they make and are absorbed by it and completely in the moment during live performances. This band is good and all but not the first to be IN IT IN THE MOMENT.

[pollywolly67]

@1235788888 Sadly I'm only 15 but i wish I could've lived in that time when bands actually played music because that's what they loved to do. I think I love Arcade Fire so much because they were inspired by the great bands that came before them.

[kwizzeh]

@pollywolly67 You can still listen to their inspiration and their influences. That's the beauty of music. Listen to one, will lead you to another and then another and then another.

[lrocio32]

BEST BAND EVER!!

[cantgetenoughemo]

i didnt think it was possible to be this bad.....

[MrCocofante1]

They should sang THE SUBURBS is the best song!!

[katiedid1023]

Win is so intense this whole performance, and then at the end it's like "big happy smile and wave" hahah

[katiedid1023]

Actually they all are sexy hot beautiful

[katiedid1023]

Sarah is sexy hot beautiful

[blackrollins]

it would suck to be a roadie for this band

[ymechaie]

why do you think they always wear the same thing on stage?

[bigtallpap]

It's not like I didn't already know this song really well but I just stumbled upon this performance and by the end I found myself literally moved to tears. Quite, quite stunningly brilliant.

[lucas6912345]

great band !!!!!! great song !!!!!!

[waitwho19]

what is the name of this sonG????



[malinkulasekera69]

@waitwho19 We used to wait.

[LoreenaFromBrazil]

Awww

Owen Pallett is back again! *__*

[agayterrorist]

love arcade fire

[porchestra]

Well, they're no lady goo goo, and that's a good thing!

[AthiestFeminist]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone go out into the crowd!

[tashious]

@AthiestFeminist watch some of the concert videos or impromptu (spelling?) lol. Arcade Fire will start concerts deep in the back of audiences, sometimes. Win will also walk far into the crowds, haven't seen him get mobbed, those where huge venues to :)

[pytko3]

@tashious Not to mention sometimes they even invite as many people in the audience that they can fit on stage to join them for their closing song(usually when the closing song is "Wake Up"). Although, it seems to piss off the security guards! Haha!

[2424yoshi]

@AthiestFeminist U2 has.

[orwellwoody]

how come no one has commented on this. this is one of my favorite AF songs

[canucklehead86]

@orwellwoody They're speachless

[canucklehead86]

@orwellwoody They're speechless
