Bloc Party - The Pioneers live @ Bristol Academy 7/2/007

[JJ62]

The fact that we're never going to see Bloc Party with Kele playing this song ever again saddens me more than I can say.......

[yoeasypunk]

@JJ62 He's still in the band

[JJ62]

@yoeasypunk So it seems. There was a lot of shit going around a couple of months back about Kele having left the band, but it seems it was all thankfully incorrect. I can't wait to see them again.

[rkronz90]

im from pittsburgh PA never saw them but by the set list ive seen on you tube of this show this may have been their best show ever!

[adjustedsettings]

Epic.

[aussieboy90]

its about trying to be original but realising that everything has been done before and that whatever you do you will not be the last to do so...bloc party are kings! <3

[optimusprime0616]

i can't describe how cool this band is. i mean at the end when everyone said "we will not be the last", i was just like wow. This really makes me jealous of those awesome indie rock bands out there with street cred. man

[TheFunzone22]

Matt tong is INSANE!

[Blubellfield]

The most awesome crowd on youtube !

[skidooshbag]

the best part about this song when matt tong does the drums in teh beginning

[Megiastongi]

sounds crappy........... kele is hoarse

[daveboy2810]

so's your face

[applesauce0piggy]

Hmmm... i might need to attend this academy... haha... I love this song

[fondiest]

see 2:15

the guy is pretty awesome, haha he looks on fire!

[vIcHHgESIchTT]

can anybody explain me what the song is about ??

thank you :)

[tSKiLove1]

it's about pioneering, having the confidence to do something new for the first time. Google the lyrics...

[650eur]

its about war(or maybe conquest) think about "we promised the world we'd tame it" kinda like wat america is doing,and the whole idea for "if it can be fused then it can be split",den ders "ambition,tearing out the heart of you" and ders "You said you were going to conquer new frontiers" and "A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard"......i dunno,its just a theroy,but if ya look up de lyrics online,i thought dat theme kinda fits dem well,

[TamitShah]

@650eur write an essay next time!!!

[FiercegalonRye]

@650eur its actually about bands/musicians who are obsessed with creating a new sound. people who want to be original so bad it's painful.

[650eur]

@FiercegalonRye thanks for the insight :)

[BewareBigots]

'All you need is time all you need is time, all youo need isss' So true. wonderful song, wonderful band!

[lizzylizzy15]

The Drumming at the end of this!! Wow!

[zoman3122]

this performance is epic

[Tsuekasa]

I liked it better when kele plays on the bridge pick up at the intro

[magicroomro]

I have a feeling that when you're in the crowd it's the best gig ever - despite what's happening musically.

[midoriboy]

it seems that kele cannot hit those high notes anymore

well, this is an extraordinary band anyways

[lolyengz]

Gosh, Kele got so emotional till he used fucking head instead of bloody head, dude

THAT'S INTENSE

[Rishaloo22]

so stick ur FUCKING head....in the jaws of the pigs...

[PaulT1990]

'here we go reinventing the wheel and shaking hands with a hurricane, it's a colour I can't describe it's a language I can't understand. Ambition tearing out the heart of you, dripping down the sides of you, carving lines into you' it doesn't just sound mint, Kele is a great poet, wish we studied this in english lit!

[pinguin42]
