[MarryMeSimon]

[lornanosnhoj21]

true biffy clyro fans would shout 'WOO' at that point 0.08 :')

[johnnyboy4711]

Muse me arse,biffy have much more talent. Plus they rocked the shit our if Glastonbury

[johnnyboy4711]

I love it

[LionHead914]

hey u guys im a new Biffy clyro fan from finland, i saw them when they performed in Helsinki with Foo Fighters... and i was wondering what means "mon the biffy" ? :DDD if any one would care to tell me:DDD btw Biffy Clory kicks Ass!!

[1LameLoser]

@LionHead914 It's just something fans and the members of the band says before and at a live show <3

[LionHead914]

@1LameLoser okey thanks :)

[mistersnaredrum]

@LionHead914 mon is an abbreviation of "come on", if that helps at all. it's something scots say to cheer on their team or band.

[LionHead914]

@mistersnaredrum as okey now i see:) thank u that helped me out alot :) All ways goof to learn new things:) Biffy Clyro rocks! \,,/ :D

[RUJEL999]

MON THE FUCKING MUSE

[ClockworkFacility1]

@RUJEL999 I'm only liking this because i love Muse and Biffy.

[00cow1]

thumbs up for the bass bone!

[dtc91]

Loving the the fact that Ben's mic has slipped when he trying to sing "somebody help me sing"

[AlainnSourise]

LOL I so love the trompetes and all. Its like sometimes they have a look of "fuck yeah, we are playing with a rock band"

LOVE Biffy and MUSE

Seen them both on a concert, when Biffy where the band playing before Muse. SOorry about my English, I aint to good with it :)

[Padingtonslamin]

the first live performance ive seen where their still wearing their shirts. MON THE FUCKING BIFFY!!!

[coolkenny13]

@Padingtonslamin BIFFY CAME TO INDIA : D I SAW THEM ALIVE > they opened for METALLICA

[jjjjtttcc]

Biffy Clyro and Muse are probobly the best trio bands of the 2000s!

[WonkyAsian]

I want to be that microphone :)

[keeperblue]

He's fully molesting the microphone. I like their music, but his singing accent is wayy to whiney sometimes, in my opinion

[vcmonkey]

@keeperblue There was a time when I might have thought that too lol. But you haven't heard whiny until you listen to Tom Delonge live. hehe

[MissNothing09]

aaahhh Simon :P xxxxxx LOVE BIFFY!

[cubbienate97]

307 people have good taste in music, 8 people listen to justin bieber.

[Padingtonslamin]

@cubbienate97 fag

[cubbienate97]

probably gonna see them live

[MrJuggernutter]

fish

[camie2k6]

8 people are deaf

[anarchotrent]

Love this song. Love the whole album. Manages to be epic and beautiful without being the slightest bit contrived or cringey. You just honestly believe every second of it.

[herofrogman]

Given added poignancy by the fact that the bass player is the spitting image of George Armstrong Custer.....

[bobbydog4]

Simon Neil is wearing a shirt!!!!!!!!!

[StuFaeTroon]

greatest!!!!!!!!!

[NathanNewton07]

Quality Performance, Biffy at their best

[Esstothebee]

how the fuck can you dislike this?

seriously, get a grip!

MON THE BIFF!

[gavj94]

Did anyone notice at the start the drummers mic is facing downwards and he's just shouting at it :L

[chaozuper]

@gavj94 that's cos it's supposed to be facing the drums :L

[gavj94]

@chaozuper no you're wrong cause 1:40 you can clearly see its back to normal facing him and he's singing into it and why would he sing into a drum mic?

[chaozuper]

@gavj94 must have more than one cos look at 0:48 he's singing into the drum mic

[emsonlovesmuffins]

JUST LIKE IN THE ALBUM. world should hear more about Biffy Clyro! There are so many known bands and singers that while singing live they sound like shit. Simon really has a gift! Gotta love him! :)

[babuwhite2010]

This is shit! Matt Cardle would do a better version. Just kidding (so take ya hand off that reply button).

[nasher931]

im learnin to play this song, but i cant work out how to play the part at 1:19 to 1:30

any help?

[CalJBurns]

@nasher931 take a long hard look in the mirror, sit down at your computer desk, log on and type in to google Biffy clyro the talentless arsehole tab, learn it, go to bed wake up in 20 years and become mortifyingly ashamed at your former self.

[mindingosafado]

Fack I wish we had shows like this in America T__T

[SimonStorey87]

saw them in august at belsonic and they did this song as an encore. The noise was a-maz-ing

[davesleeman]

bass distortion is epic!!!

[Misishaxi]

Biffy = Awesome, but how is it the TV crew ALWAYS fuck up the sound levels on Later?

[thestig1214]

Like the tenth awesome band I discovered on this show.

[therealrene]

aounsa very blink 182 ish

[kylefindlay101]

@therealrene fuck off 

[PumpkinPie4you]

man wish I could see them in Glasgow in nov... :( lol I'm sooo jealous!! I Love Biffy!!! I like how diff this song is... I love the instrumentals.... and yea... he's like eating the mic lol geez!

[TheNeutralFan]

The crowd is fucking deader than Elvis.

[jonesismyname]

@TheNeutralFan There's a reason for that...

[TheNeutralFan]

@jonesismyname Meh, fair enough, not the best version of the Captain I've heard. It really needs a full brass band and a sober Simon. I don't mean to say he's drunk, but I wouldn't out-and-out say he isn't.

[tvrulesnation]

@TheNeutralFan

The crowd at Jools aren't allowed to like jump around & all, you see it all the time very rarely will a few start sort of dancing together etc. I don't know why that is though

[TheNeutralFan]

@tvrulesnation I see. Fair enough, even if the rule itself makes little sense.

[anarchotrent]

@tvrulesnation Probably because they're on TV, everyone is self concious and no-one knows if the camera is going to do a closeup of them dancing like a twat. Also, it's more like a dinner party environment (that's what they're going for anyway) so jumping about just doesn't fit. Watch Jools on NYE tho everyone is pissed and it's all celebrities so they're used to looking like twats on TV and they all have a dance lol.

[tvrulesnation]

Ay thats exactly it makes perfect sense, been watching the show for years on NYs Eve, i HIGHLY recommend ehh ''the one i love''-20111jools, can't remember the two girls name but they cleared it this year.

PS the b-side demo version of this song ''help me be captain'' is fucking much better, its alot harder riffs. This is a bit Blink-182, still catchy

[kilomeister]

another singer singing in a very fake american accent.

[TheNeutralFan]

@kilomeister Eh? Simon Neil? That accent is Scots through and through, mate. You'd have to be quite amazingly incredibly deaf to call that American.

[guitargodattheheart]

@kilomeister most of birffy's songs are hard to cover cause he uses his accent in them and other people cant do that. luckily im scottish but on the other side from him :(

[SimonStorey87]

@kilomeister it's obviously a scottish accent...

[TheNeutralFan]

@SimonStorey87 It's the kind of accent that everyone thinks is Glaswegian until it turns out that they're all from Ayrshire.

[stuartallford]

@TheNeutralFan *kilmarnock

[TheNeutralFan]

@stuartallford Pardon?

[stuartallford]

@TheNeutralFan they come from the town Kilmarnock

[TheNeutralFan]

@stuartallford Ehm.. yes...

[johanesbrain]

Now They the biggest!

[razzle364]

anyone else think the lead singer looks like "Maddison Twatter" from Skins??

[adamwalker94]

@razzle364 YES!

[Askthisguy]

@razzle364 Wow never saw that before, but you are indeed correct :P

[DarkTigger4]

Cant wait to see them in glasgow in nov!!!!

[ConzoMcF]

@DarkTigger4 Same :D

[eatbananaforlunch]

This is their only song I like :S

[fuckwad118]

I FUCKING LOVE THESE GUYS!!

[cammyammy]

i, like 4 others, accidentally had a spasm and pressed the dislike buttone. dayme

[Stevomyungbassfreak]

Cannot wait to see them in Glasgow in November!!!!!!!!

[lilmissfc]

same!!!!

[Mellor303]

preffer the acoustic version from live lounge

[AVA1234]

I think the guys at later with Jools Holland didn't realise that Biffy have 3 vocalists, not 1 lead and 2 token vocalists lol

They should have done a few more songs... The Weapons are Concealed would have been fantastic with a brass section

[titipoum23]

quelle chanson de fou !!!! trop bien

[pipandrew]

lol hes nearly eating the mic

[EJRocky]

Oh man, he's making that Strat sound like hell... awesome!

[ApacheBoneknife]

Weezer with a brass section.

[mat876]

if that guitar strap was any shorter , he'd be chewing on his guitar

[Edthelast]

@mat876 Its the biffy look. i wear my bass at my knees XD then again im nearly 6 foot XD

[AVA1234]

with all the brass behind them they should have done The Weapons are Concealed as an encore lol

[myyyname]

00:20 lol is that gary numan??

[genesiz7201]

what sad bastard put the drummers mike that way

[sheila37]

@genesiz7201 omg LOL i just noticed that. poor ben. XD

[slippysam1]

i agree with paulkane 1962 i'm just a wee bit older but would still go and see them in fact the captain is now on my bands set list great number ..makes yae pround tae be an ayrshirman keep it up lads

[j4mespatrick]

yank!!!! "wank"

[Will137]

Can always tell when Simon has been on the beer ;)

[mattybungo]

just pure class

[Louuuui]

Mic fail at 00.49

[Aaaymee]

@Louuuui hahahaha

[moriondor]

What the hell happened to Biffy Clyro? They used to push the boundaries, now they shovel shit!

[outrightrocker]

Soooooo scrumptious =)

[thelawist]

Love the the lead singer is a bluenose

[glasgowrus]

I played with these guys at Nice N Sleazy, in Glasgow, back in 1998. They are exactly the same - I wonder why it took them so long to get discovered!

[HILLYkid96]

anyone have tabs fro this on acoustic

[campbellvstherock]

them and kasabian are the two best bands in britain atm

[ipodtouchrocks]

Dont forget muse. :) lol

[campbellvstherock]

they are good as well, nice to see u are a celtic fan cos so am i :)

[ScreamingElderly]

@campbellvstherock

both are veryvery good, but that sir is your opinion

[scottydog48]

this record makes me feel fuckin fantastic everytime i hear it, brilliant.

[SilentGig1]

whats with the mic eating

[ScreamingElderly]

@SilentGig1

It tastes good.

[ScreamingElderly]

Simon can eat whatever he likes

[stokeSKINNYPIGS]

[milburn9691]

[iddiols1]

again, no way near as good as their early stuff. yes i'm a cunt. whatever.

[fanny69bandit]

im sure your not a cunt just for saying that lol bt yeaahh apperntly the captain and alot of the new album was written a long time ago, they just decided to pirate this one up :L

[Crecyxx]

My god Biffy Clyro are amazing,and Simon is sexy.

[marmiteislush]

may 5th. (L)(L)(L)

[TheJokersRiddle]

[avatarinthebrain]

He's making love to that microphone!

[LuubyLouu]

he looks sooo hot with that clothes damn! i know with who i would like to make love with.. and it's not with the microphone! haha just kidding

[1p3jn6cda]

@avatarinthebrain  Should get him and Liam Gallacher in the same room and see who gets arrested for public indecency first ;)

[ScreamingElderly]

@1p3jn6cda Liam gallagher is a fucking douche

[tommen64]

@avatarinthebrain HELL YEAH!<3 XD

[sidus87]

i saw them live last saturday in Bologna and they were awesome. I was looking so much forward to the Muse, but in the meantime i was enjoying them a lot.

[paulkane1962]

As an older rocker, (nearly 48), and seen most of the good ones live, DC, Maiden, Lizzy, Zep, these boys aren`t bad, I`d buy a ticket to see them......

[mmmbilly]

not enough songs have impromptu whooping and hollering in them, first rate!

[WouterJ]

Just for fun though, don't stone me for this.

Impromptu whooping and hollering must be something typically Scottish, The Proclaimers did it with their song "500 miles"

Long live Scotland.

[SionWeeks]

How is it typically Scottish if you can only name one other song that has it?

[WouterJ]

Well I guess The Proclaimers' "letter from America" has the hollering as well. But to be fair "500 miles" is a better song.

[NealeMathieson]

Sounds like they gave all the good microphones to the brass section! Excellent performance regardless!

[COINPURSE86]

Love the song,  but does anyone else find this performance a little flat?

[stopracismhatewar]

Not really, His vocals are sort of bad live. But it's not all about vocals :)

[mtbboi]

dude check the live lounge version , enough said ...

[chickenw4rr10r]

how can you say this is flat maaannn!!

[2n2equals5]

The guitar is far too quiet and the brass too prominent.

[emeraldsignal]

I cant climb up your ladder

I cant ride your horse

[ciaranzer]

The Brass is epic! Love it :-D

[miniturbo123]

Great Tuba playing Mr Owen (the Slab) Slade -- long time since Fine Arts Brass hey !!

[glassjon]

Great band/songs/albums!

Fuck the horns,but!

[grantstew22]

Im so gutted that they're not supporting muse on the uk dates..

listening to them makes me feel patriotic, Mon the Scots!

[lewabdn]

Id take a biffy clyro gig over muse anyday. Theyre too good to be supporting muse

[anthonybartle]

Ridiculous comment.

[hakenhaai]

Fu-cking brilliant!

The Horns section: goose bumps !

[ssjjk]

I'm sorry but old stuff is much better!!!, nothing wrong with it! This song though...:( just soo shite! I wont say "youre not a true fan, blah blah blah" because I don't think that, but I really cannot stand this song more than the rest of recent stuff theyve done!

[HenryVidsAndThat]

I am sorry if I offend you old fans because I have only just discovered Biffy Clyro! And I am so sorry that I prefer their new stuff to their old stuff (yes I have listened to it) but thats just my opinion. You have to just face the fact that they will get new fans and that we have our own personal opinions and theres nothing wrong with that! Stop moaning that because you bought their first album you have the right to insult new fans.

[jamesf348]

I really do hate the "the old stuff is better" mentality and the "youre not a true fan, you dont have the old album" spiel. So because you have all the albums youre better than everyone else? Enjoy the tunes and shut your cakeholes.

[Jonnay12]

Aye man, sure i love their new stuff, im just saying that their roots are what makes them who they are, but clearly you haven't heard that mate. you need to educate yourself first....

[XxelliexX08]

wow they are so good live

[mp40vthompson]

Biffy's support are amazin. Torn Apart By Horses or somethin'.

[cribbibo]

pulled apart by horses :D

[Herpescrew]

Pulled Apart By Horses. They're fuckin brilliant.

[VeryWittyName]

Haha, yup. Saw them at Brighton, was at the front...singer gave me a manly hug and then spat on everyone around me. Tubelord were also pretty good, of course :P

[zegers84]

each day I love this song more and more

[Jonnay12]

No mate, Biffy are a band, not just one person, and if you were a real biff fan you would realise that their earlier stuff is what makes them who they are and why real biff fans love them.

[cribbibo]

no sir, if you were a real fan you would realise its the same band and enjoy it all the same.

if your unable to accept change please go back to the dark ages ;)

[philclyro]

i agree

i love old biffy and new biffy. its all good to me

wave upon wave upon wave is one my fave songs but so is bubbles and captain off new album. its all biffy :-)

saaafe

x

[haribohannah]

I agree! I love it all. :) Its all good to me, You could kind of see this coming anyway, God, Listen to the old stuff, it's Just plain Biffy

[wiinut2k7]

[HattyMarris]

[special21e]

Fuckin love hearing the accent somewhere other than home.

[iHonestMan1910]

[spellingmastake]

[iHonestMan1910]

[Tobot16]

[LuubyLouu]

[andy5910]

y cant you hear james or ben like atall

[Legacied]

mon the biffy

[MartinDurden]

nice performance

[Jonnay12]

i hate the way people are only discovering biffy now, listen to the early stuff....amazing.

[ShatteredDreams888]

so becase people have only started liking biffy because of his newer stuff, thats bad? tbh i pefer his newer stuff

[DropoutDan08]

his new stuff???? biffy clyro is the whole band. not a person in the band

[ShatteredDreams888]

sorry i ment their
