The Auteurs - Light Aircraft on Fire

[richievegas01]

Luke Haines wrote that Chris Cunningham stole the warped faces idea he used in the Aphex Twin videos from a sleeve design of The Auteurs which featured Haines' face on a bunch of kids.

[halifuckinfan]

This is awesome. Light aircraft on fire....Light aircraft ah oh.

[katoness]

Don't know why Luke Haines gave all the britpop bands such a hard time. He just sounds like the rest of them. Its nothing really special or out there. Its good for what it is. We are egomaniacs!!!

[darkskies11]

Just awesome, great sound with a menacing creative feel to it.

[chiachhu]

thumbs up if you think the guy is a turn on!!

[talkinboutbirds]

mmm...

[mmmmmmmmm95]

q mierda de video y cancion

[wonkabar69]

Always wondered about this video, because it was on the previews for the DVD, but not actually on the Chris Cunningham video. Anybody know why it wasn't?

[millicentfrastly]

don't change the subject valentino

[stropeztan]

yo millicent or should we say mili tant. whats with the hate? even though his surname almost means that

[millicentfrastly]

would luke haines smash your face?

[stropeztan]

yeah well would valentino smash your face?

[millicentfrastly]

who's that dude in all the eyeliner what thinks he's valentino?

[paulsmartialarts]

LOL @ all the morons fawning defensively over Chris Cunningham. Buy The Auteurs' 'After Murder Park', then kindly throw your other shitty CDs in the bin where they belong. Otherwise: get plastic surgery to resemble Richard D. James, then jump off a bridge

[PhaseVI]

What a co-incidence we bump into one another here! Have been reading Luke Haines' britpop book and thought I'd see if i could remember any of the auteurs songs. As it turns out, I can recall none of them!

[roseyposey112]

the girls eyes are amazing! x luv the song i dont care wat anyone thinks lol

[ummerrm]

black sclera contacts..

[ysfaljanabi]

auteurs/luke haines is the BEST!!!

YSF

[sonyaseattle]

I've been trying to find a video, if there is one, to The Auteurs' song "There's Gonna Be An Accident" - it's one of my all-time favorite songs. Anyone know of one? Let me know!!

[jakebickerton]

'There's gonna be an accident' is a Baader Meinhof track - not sure if there's a video, but yeah, top class tune.

[wfcowindsor]

I love the Auteurs and Chris Cunningham, I didn't get the Auteurs at first but check them out and you'll be rewarded. What's weird about this video is I'm fairly sure the guy pretending to be the singer isn't Luke Haines it looks like he's just playing guitar in this video. If anyone who's read this knows why please let me know

[marx1980]

@wfcowindsor

Yeah, the singer in the video is not Luke Haines, and Haines is the one playing the guitar. Don't know who the "singer" in the video is, unfortunately.

[freakyfadge]

That girl is hot!

[craigmak123]

shame shame chris! you should stick to aphex stuff.. much more respectable

[gothicmosha]

Agreed.

[simbo12]

this is an amazing video i lov it long time

[PentaenX]

ugh chris cunningham should be ashamed of this why would he do this for this band

[simbo12]

this is an amzing video u nonces

[xSlaveCalledShiverx]

Yeah the video is great. I don't like the song much but it really doesn't matter. I'll watch it again. Chris is brilliant.

[Borckmeister]

Buy this record on eBay, dfjb220370 ;o)

[DavidWatts3]

For this song, did Luke Haines and the guitarist switch places?

[mygirlalix]

The single version of this track was the best thing The Auteurs ever did, videos don't really matter, Chris Cunningham has done some funny things, Luke Haines fell out with him, get over it, it is a great song.

[brefsone]

not a big fan of this one, great song though,

[Down10]

This is pretty darn good video. Chris may be ashamed of it, but I thought it looked great. Its abstract visuals and edits make up for its lack of sophistication. ...And any video that has a kid grabbing the band's instruments and smashing them is automatically good.

[fr55]

fantastic!

[AWM05]

I would say this was his best video before Come To Daddy was made. That's saying a bit too.

[TheEndAsWeKnowIt]

I saw this video on MTV's "120 Minutes" 10 years ago, and I thought it was brilliant for its time. I also love this song.

[Voyarist]

Watching Chris Cunningham' early videos is a bit difficult. It's hard to mesh the quality of his later brilliance with the middling stew of visuals he created before Come to Daddy. Chris doesn't like his early work either, and would rather you not see it.

[pobwall]

yeah maaan, kinda crap. NO IT'S GOOD. maybe you should stop reading graphic design books in waterstones, and shoving aphex twin cds up your ass. only kidding,that was mr haines taking over my childlike mind, LMB

[barrentree]

this is kinda crap for his work, i even didnt think it was cunningham that did it. maybe he just thought the band sucked.

[anticliche321]

chris cunningham is amazing.. I love how he expresses the chord changes expecially when the girl points her wand at the guy and a big magnifying glas pops up. The scene switches from the girl twirling amoungst rose pedles and the lead singer making funny faces behind the thing .. love it

[anticliche321]

I love this!

[illusionation8]

That WAS pretty damn cool! I wonder why it was left off of Cunningham's compilation DVD. They showed a couple of frames of it during the intro.

[Bartoly]

cooooool!!!!

[jjochems]

man its about time i got a chance to see this video. thank you!!

[nowaytolive]

Creepy cool
