bloc party- positive tension

[ccole742]

that was shot and cut soooo good too :)

[blakewlarge]

WHY'D YOU HAVE TO GET SO FUCKING USELESS?

[cossack77]

Matt Tong is a fucking beast on the drums. Pit Matt against any other metal or jazz drummer out there and Matt would easily win.

Gordon is an extremely underrated bassist. His bass lines are smooth and sexy as fuck.

Russell is a very talented guitarist. Very reminiscent of Jonny Greenwood at times.

Kele is a great vocalist and his rhythm guitar compliments Russell's guitar well.

Bloc Party along with The Strokes are definitely the greatest bands of the last decade.

[Eddemer]

lol at the way he says breasts 1:04

[FrenchKiss43]

damn gordon can't sing

[Browncoat1138]

OHMYGOD this song was amazing live... I saw them back in 2009 when the played the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. The entire set was incredible, but this one really blew me away. The whole crowd was just so charged with energy, we were all dancing and singing along. It was a great show. I'm only posting this here cuz all the videos of that show are terrible quality.

[nursefrankenstein]

There are alot of bands out there that can make a brilliant sounding studio album, but few who can pull all those elements together and deliver live like this. Drummer didnt miss a single beat, even though they played the song about 20% faster than album speed.

[Ionjohn]

how can kele make sounds like 0;35 ? with pedals ?

[thannydrums]

holy shit, this is a really good song

[Milburnization]

Lovely Asian lady *lushfmlk.info*

[lukekachy]

this song makes me want to get fucking drunk

[R3AP3R664]

PLy it kool boy ... goosebumps ..

[elurseeknay]

love silent alarm

i stopped listening to them because of their shitty second album but their first one rocked

[RosieeeOhhh8]

the drummers amazing :o

[Splatinian]

@jjenkins134 Yeah, thats why I want to see more, I love their older performances, such as this one :)

[cudatheferocious]

watch at 0:49 when kele confuses the lyrics he looks over at russel like "shit, dude.." haha it still fuckin rocks

[Splatinian]

Are there any other videos of this set? I only see this one :(

[gelbekatze]

@Splatinian i really dont know, i just downloaded it from ares

[I200gI]

the drummer is a fucking genious. his grooves are so unconventionelly.

[jamaoker]

2:16 it just gets too awesome!

[soccerboi29]

why'd you have to get so FUCKING useless?!

[justvers]

Too damn good!

[blocpartyrocker]

They were so epic when they were fresh.

Hopefully, when they come out of hiatus, they'll play like this again.

If anyone here has seen Zephyrus live..that's a disaster.

As in Kele's voice anyhow.

[laddragonoid]

matt tong is so nuts in this performance, like he is in every other one, hes such a good drummer

[SoaringLotus]

I believe Kele as of now is like 28 years old

[BlocPartyRulez92]

why does it matter how old he is? ^^

just listen to this great song ^^

[MsAna73]

How old is Kele?

[chibixleon]

un REAL.

[MRjoshc328]

he looks so young because this is off of their first album

[vampire891208]

kele looks very young

[DerOberKoch]

which pedal he use at the beginning ?

[018mickey]

phaser

[azbazicus]

man he is quality live. i honestly thought this song wouldnt be great live but they really pull it

[21bmp04]

SO FUCKING USELESS!....contrary to that, great song

[Clarkyboy21]

[diiscolemonade]

[OwenKProductions]

[Narop20]

2:16

The guitar are very great!

This song are cool and the Band too!

[AudioOllie]

Is there a official music video for this song? and which album is this on?

[KwlNerd]

No offical video, and its on Silent Alarm (their Debut)

[kaoruthescenekid]

[BlocPartyRulez92]

what?! i don´t like sausages!

i love the run,run,run,run,run,run!!

^^

[ispywitmylittlei]

[BlocPartyRulez92]

[jo3hva1]

[electrolitejj]

such a tight and solid performance. awesome.

[PrinceofSprata]

there awsome

[Bringerofpwnage]

They can do no wrong, in any performance, they are always epic.

[namaste985]

SKINS

[Tenorsarefun]

he should grow his dreads back out like they are in this video. They were bad ass.

[BMWFrodo]

this song is tied with skeleton, uniform, banquet, like eating glass, song for clay, halo, and helicopter for my favorite bloc party song

[crosswalkernie]

Hehe all great songs.

[mintymikey23]

that's a lot of favorite songs... but im guessing that's cuz the Bloc. is freakin amazing! my fav song by them changes everyday : )

[PWV]

3:21 so serious

[babyglebe]

great version...then again it is bloc party! they're always great!

[ConkerTheSquirrell]

where this is taken from????

[KingOfWai]

great band !!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoaringLotus]

For some reason when see Kele it strikes me that he has dreads and plays rock music no pun intended

[blink182fenderstrat]

"So fucking useless."

Kele blew my mindd with that.

And Russels solo,

brilliant.

[boosh1988]

kele should grow mutton chops.

[Jikel7Bob224]

I trying to figure how Russell and Kele don't break their strings when playing this! My strings break from just tremolo picking too fast.

[fattyJNL]

What kind and what gauge strings do you use?

[Jikel7Bob224]

Eh, It's super light by D'ardario or whatever, which I guess could be the problem, but still, they're attacking their guitars!

[fattyJNL]

Yeah....Use some thing a little bit heavier.....Have a nice day!

[OlympiaOverdrive]

second time for watching this and it just gets better and better. the talent just pours out of these guys. i am infatuated by them. jeez they're brilliant.

kele is so cool in this video, it's amazing. the way he swings his guitar round, dude, i love him.

he says 'so fucking useless' like ive never heard it. wow. :)

[harlen123]

teeth and breasts

[Queteo]

Great in the fast thing.. :D

[OlympiaOverdrive]

dude this is amazing!

[aaronsingh69]

1:40 kele makes a mistake and stutters he's supposed to say 'stuck past timing' but he repeats 'nothing ever happens'

[aaronsingh69]

yes it was made from indie, but its not indie!

[aaronsingh69]

captnwar you prick, bloc party are not indie, there post punk!

[crosswalkernie]

Which is an indie subgenre

[JSkunk22]

I heard Kele claim he was bisexual. But does that really matter? Straight, bi, gay, asexual, whatever, who cares who he sleeps with.

Great song, fantastic band.

[nawabmevans]

For some reason kele doesn't strike me as a gay man...

just doesnt...

[1ThatZmE1]

kele is so emotional. it's just awesome.

[343GuiltySparkinst04]

Why the fuck can you only find this song in live or covers. wtf happened to the god damn music videos!!!!! I want to see the drugs

[cal31BRIAN23]

u have to be talking the unofficial one, a person made, because, bloc party didn't make one for this song. u want to see the drugs huh lmaoooooooooooooo

[Indievidualist]

no it's live! they're just amazing live ;)

[nawabmevans]

no its live

[bloc22]

ummm buddy, this is how they sound. I saw them twice already live. Just cuz many others bands CANT sound good live doesnt mean bloc party cant. Bloc 4 life!!

[Julschn91]

it is because of this shit copy right!

there are many many videos disappeard of youtube!

[OoFlankerOo]

enorme le batteur

[vitriz]

awesome!

where can I download this full concert?

[raymondScales]

thats right Gordy doesn't even need a pick!

[bloc22]

his fingers are mad quick and his playing is soo clean!!

[evilpandaRO]

you can't say his playing is clean because he's not picking strings, he's strumming all the chords. they just don't use a lot of distorse :P

but yeah they are pretty quick for the genre.

[suckithardnfast]

First heard this in forza 2. RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN

[fondiest]

great! bloc party is the new shit.

[tUkOtX]

Increibles!! dios mio!!! esa parte k ai a partir del minuto 2:30 es buaaaaa.....ojala en españa fuesen mas reconocidos

[gelbekatze]

[tUkOtX]

[elgojira]

So fucking useless!!!!!! wow estuvieron en rock al parque en Bogotá, son excelentes, lo mejor del festival!!!!

[thebloc3]

best bloc party song by far!

[maxispresident]

there is no such thing as too fast

[Johnnyctbh]

Its faster than the studio version but its not a bad thing

[mintymikey23]

they're just amazing!! :0

[keiashajackson]

great video by a awesome band

[Tsuekasa]

Kele's beard is cool here lol

[raymondScales]

yeah beards own.

[arctickook]

best version of this song, more forward than the album version or for example the glastonbury one.

[Tsuekasa]

yeah this is an the old performances of bloc and glastonbury is a recent performance last year. I like this way better because it rough and fast

[Tsuekasa]

Kele's riff is so awesome

[kaczydav]

somethin glorious is about to happen

[JRGrox]

i love this song, it's excllent!

We were learning the drumming to it at my drum lessons the other week, tis awesome! :D

[Rishaloo22]

soooooooooooooooooooooo fuking useeeeeeellllllllleeeeeeesssss­ssssssssss!

it would be funnier this way

[shhhmegan]

Wow they're amazing live.

[matthew9120]

one of my favourite live song

[superchargednut]

SO FUCKING USELESS!

[paulwall08]

Kele nailed it on the "so f*cking useless" line. i was literally waiting the entire video to hear that. this is one of my favs on SA, well it's hard to choose which one i think is best, but i definitely think that this one stands out.

[grrr199]

they suck live

[yopmevideos]

like the klaxons a little

just love that fucking song

[luisvieirafcp]

best band ever! Excelent guitarrist, perfect drummer (very catchy), competent bassist and great vocals! ;)

[Alldubproduction]

what u chatting about the drummer is very talended !

[luisvieirafcp]

yes it is!!

[mintymikey23]

Matt Tong is my hero !!

[kellydisthebest]

They always seem to speed up the songs they make when playing live?

[sinsecurities]

i'm, not sure if it was them...but some band said it has to do with the adrenaline rush and also they said it hides mistakes...either way, sounds great to me.

[pinguin42]

every band plays faster live

[MalDrumX]

yh... they did play it alot faster.... still great song.

[bloc22]

they have such a sense of cool that its not even funny. best band ever!

[jonny6666]

If it was a battle of the bands between bloc party and dragonforce (throws up) Bloc party would win just by turning up :D

wooo bloc party!!!!!

[skateandsnoistheway]

dragonfroce is really good too i love that band

[tomiknowimsad]

faveorate song

absolute beauti

[daveauborn]

they have to be one of the best bands in the world

[FreakingAngryPirate]

BREASTS!

[metallicastro]

Play it cool boy!!!

[Tsuekasa]

kele is feeling it in this video,

[22Hayesy22]

'Heyitsmatt25' makes a quality point.

Matt Tong's drumming is incredibly catchy. He can play the exact same beat that someone else does, but make it sound 10 times better.

[taykill]

one of my favourites in Forza Motorsport 2

[bodhiarpha]

increible

[bahramradan]

coooool.

[nazthespaz1]

wat a tune

[guitarzpurenoise]

just listen to this fucking amazing song...  bloc party rocks

[bubblething367]

Who's that? Are they like Bob Barker's grandson or something? And don't say 'Who's Bob Barker?' because then you're simply retarded.

[captnwar]

youtubecom/watch?v=CxNujWeVc-4

i'd like to see your precious matt just try double kick. thanks to nicholas barker.

[rhcpbell]

and why the fuck woud he want to play like that

no rythym no soul, just noise as fast as possible

a double pedal is cheating

[timaaaahhhh]

What are you talking about?

[whothehellismoop]

haha Go fuck a goat captnCornhole

[heyitsmatt25]

quit trying to compare drummers. I'm sure Dimmu Borgir's drummer is better at metal than Matt Tong, but Matt Tong makes some very catchy, clean, fast-paced dance-ish punk beats that I'm sure Dimmu Borgir's drummer would not be able to make up. Different genre does not equal better.

[purpleyorange]

Agreed.

[luisvieirafcp]

have you realized that that drummer is a fucking dumb? does he even know what is doing? he's just hitting the drumms! Do you know what's music? .|.

[jkwon47]

Do you even realise what you just said?

thats MATT TONG foooool!!

[luisvieirafcp]

hey man, this is supposed to be a reply to Captnwar. I was not talking about Matt! Matt is awesome :D

[museyoutoo]

LEARN TO PLAY DRUMS YOURSELF

[luisvieirafcp]

hey you don't know how to read?? It wasn't for Matt Tong! it was a response to the captnwar FOOOL

Matt Tong Is the Best Drummer ever

[museyoutoo]

lol.

who says i said about matt tong-thing you stupidass FOOL!

[luisvieirafcp]

oh yeah that captnwar is a great drumer no doubth.... fuck you. and fuck Muse and Matt Bellamy and all of his gay fans like you

[bubblething367]

You enjoy causing trouble with these comments? What's your real opinion on Bloc Party? The blocheads will hunt you down captnwar.

[captnwar]

a typical humans...its too easy sometimes

[gelbekatze]

i agree with bubblething367 he is so damn right

[bubblething367]

What is up with you captnwar? What's your problem? First Matt, then you call us all indie listeners boring and that we suck? What planet are you living on? I think you were born with a malfunction in your brain. Enjoy Bloc Party, or leave them alone.

[ERodriguez000]

I agree.

Stop bitching about other's music taste and just watch the damn Bloc Party video.

[hannahrick90210]

that is awesome!!

[razcue]

PLZ man! I saw them live the drummer wasr FRIGGIN AWESOME!

[Xanapoo]

i love this song

but they put alot feeling into

still love them tho :]

[captnwar]

for learning drums...i thought this band would be great, but live the drummer FUCKING SUCKS..i'm better off with a metronome

[purpleyorange]

You do realise Matt is one of the most precise and accurate drummers in Indie upto date? Live and in studio?

[captnwar]

indie fucking sucks!!! i know i actually used to listen and enjoy it. but then after hearing more than 5 bands, i realised they all just play music very heavily inspired by 70s and 80s music, its all just the same shit with different lyrics. my mind is completely bored with it now and i crave more melodies and harmonics....plus musical talent/knowledge/training helps people create songs that don't all sound the same.. so suck on a big fat one and be happy with your lame boring drone

[purpleyorange]

What's that got to do with anything about Matt?

[hazeleyg]

well fucking done, feeling big and clever?

i can understand you maybe posting this on a crap indie bands video, but bloc party? really?

your delusional.

[josh060790a]

i agree with everyone here captnwar you are talking so much rubbish, even in the new album bloc party sing about the indifferece in music and the way people look, they are totally different from most bands around they rock

[NoUraTube]

dear captnwar

shut up u ferret fuckin horse humpin sheep shagin prick matt is unreal hav u even tried to play any bloc party songs on drums

[luisvieirafcp]

go suck on your momma's breasts you son of a bitch motherfucker!

[Jacd92]

I hope they play this live at Radio 1s Big Weekend Im Gonna Be There!!

[almitaaah]

so awesome

[GoingToDieSoon]

Jeez. Bloc Party rushes their songs so much live. It's very evident in this preformance. Still it's amazing.

[exorhi]

It's all the drummer's fault.

[msva93]

breast

[strokeness]

Play it cool, boys...

[gelbekatze]

if anyone knows how to get more videos of bloc party please post the link
