This is my favorite band ever. As a bassist I tend to pay closer attention to Robert Hardy than the rest, especially knowing he was always the least experienced of the 4 musically. Watching this video shows clearly how far he's come in recent years. He used to be so stiff and impassioned on stage. He'd even mess up sometimes. Fortunately this band is so respected, not many care when that happens. But here hes pulling off a complex bassline and even dancing a little. Good work, Robert!
I fucking love Franz and Green Day, they're awesome in different ways, and both of them have respect for each other. i just think that some people should just lay away the ignorance, arrogance of somebody that never could be good like these bands and show some good sense just once.
Hahahaha it's like they didn't make a single mistake until Nick plays that extra note at the very end once everyone's stopped. Not that I care, it's just amusing. They're so damn amazing.
@Noahii I think both bands are too big to be on the same tour. but franz likely took this as an opportunity to win over some new fans, people who otherwise wouldn't listen to them. i like both bands, but not new green day so much
@hilmanose Sorry to thumbs down your comment man it was an accident. I actually agree with you. Saw them in Toronto this year and they fuckin' rocked! Love Franz! ;)
lol. too bad for you. they have some pretty good songs off their new album, it's just that people don't like it that they changed their style a little bit. yeah ,whatever.
I don't even see why Franz Ferdinand would waste their time with selloutslike Green Day. Green Day doesn't EVEN deserve to open for them.
