Metric - Empty (Live in SF, Be the Riottt)

[A5vich]

5:17 .... "ahhhhh!! ahhhhh!!"



[DufftheMagicDragon85]

I find it kind of hilariously ironic that the lyrics to this song happen to be about drug addiction

[natashaohburn]

oh i love her. she's so insane

[XxKaoticFatexX]

even if she takes drug, I'd tap her so muchh =D she's so lovely

[1800ghostdance]

she doesn't do drugs. just drinks beer.

[mrg54]

I don't care if they do drugs, but not sure where all the cocaine comments are coming from, it looks more like MDMA to me (or just drunk!). Sluggish, deliberate movements, slow head hanging / swinging etc.

Anyway, I saw them twice in the two days just past, and no way was she on anything, she was just super energetic and fit - the whole set was spot on. They played this song too, I have a vid of it up. I think drugs or no drugs, she's improved greatly as a front woman since Fantasies came out.

[calebbbuh]

i think the point here is that, this was almost 3 years ago, she seems a lot better now. and even then, she can still put on a good show when shes coked out then any of us could ever wish to put on under the same circumstances

[mariano26788]

fuck.... emily haines is so hot

[allhailvoldie]

Who cares if she's fucked up, her band makes brilliant music and they put on an excellent live show. If they need a little boost to help them out, why not? I bet the majority of their audience is fucked out of their minds as well.

It's a personal choice, don't like it don't go to their shows... easy.

TO: ALL THOSE WHO THINK THEY KNOW WHAT IT TAKE TO MAKE MUSIC.

fROM: zay

wHEN MAKING MUSIC, SOME MUSICIANS HAVE TO HANG LOOSE, COMFORT, AND TO DO SO ...

DOESN'T MEAN THEY DRINK...NOR SNORT LINES

[joelite]

what is wrong with this? there is nothing out of normal with this video. just a few, probably false rumors in the comments, she mightve been drinking, but who hasnt?

[GtoTHEparathyroid]

its pretty obvious to see she is being affected by something. if you can't tell then you probably haven't seen them live many times.

[freddieblacksheep]

ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhh. upsetting.

[nessa206]

my god. she is so gooone.

what was with jimmy at the end. there were a few extra bars at the end...

*shakes head*

[XvideoxheadX011]

This brought me to tears

I love them so much, it makes me really sad when I think of them being druggies or alcoholics.

[sirsquillium]

I agree. Seeing this just saddens me greatly. I mean, I absolutely love her music, but now when I listen to it I just think EMILY HAINES DOES COCAINE EMILY HAINES DOES COCAINE EMILY HAINES DOES COCAINE. it sucks...

I don't know... maybe she doesn't do it anymore, presently? Perhaps her trip to Buenos Aires cleared all that shit up? I don't know, but hopefully...

[funkyMANG]

now that I'm watching this...it was in the middle of this effing song!!!!!!!!!!! oh emily

[nunzilla]

that is fucking sad...really fucking sad.

[funkyMANG]

I was at this show and i can't recall if it was before or after this song, but Emily did a couple lines in the corner of the stage in front of everyone....i remember thinkin...What the fuckin hell?! did that just happen? By the way deerhoof, girltalk, and busdriver killed that show for reals!

[bubs16]

Canada has the best bands/artists in North America.

[stnick90]

They also have Nickelback, so it evens out

[muckaru]

theyre so fantastic.

[Sagitarius54]

The dudes (and dudette) need to lay off that cocaine but I must say I can dig 'um. I normally not into this kind of music.

[blisteringsolo]

@Sagitarius54

I have no idea if they do coke, or drugs, and how much, and when, but neither do you do. It seems your too busy to go and see them in concert. Emily Haines pounds that stage like nobody's business. So when they hit a more tempered song, and she's a bit slower, she's probably exhausted, taking a break. You can see here her hair's all sweaty, probably from an 40 minutes of running the stage. She's phenomenal live.

[tony920226]

aweosme song

[junebugv69]

I love Canada!

[Spartula]

Woot! San Francisco! That's right metric, one of the hottest bands from canada! THE BAY!! MY PLACE!!! MY HOME!! WOOT!!!
