Pardon?

[Splatinian]

Please refer to my earlier comment of insulting people on youtube.

[Noirie93]

Please refer to my bellend.

[Splatinian]

*sigh* I guess your a bit too young to understand respect. Or rather, to understand prejudice, and how to avoid it.

[Splatinian]

I'm not getting, as you describe, 'all high and mighty' on you...

I simply corrected you, and asked that you dont insult people on youtube, that is all.

[Gnarlybenson]

bloc party and biffy clyro are IMHO the best bands around , u cant beat live

[XxJukesxX]

i really don't have any complaints about bloc party. in my opinion they havent made any bad songs, i can listen to them all.

just pretend one more chance never happened though...

[goaldemon08]

4:11 good to see the crowd wake up

[anathir]

btw it kele looks like he has so much fun playing so here we are. A really strong performance of that song!

[pk550]

Quality performance!

[SexAfterSandwich]

next guitar i am buying is a fucken yellow telecaster with a black scratch pad. that looks amazing

[scumbagg]

yeaaah it does!!

[WoolyJoe]

What did Russel say to Gordon?! I wanna know!

[1ThatZmE1]

i'm pretty sure he said: "hey gordy, we did an awesome job with this song but damn... how i hate the fact there's some bitching about our new great stuff." ;-)

[WoolyJoe]

Ha, no better time to discuss the reception of their newest stuff then in the middle of a performance

[1ThatZmE1]

hehe, well that's called virtuosity.

[isolationeitheror]

silent alarm: GREAT

donward from there......

[lobsterjohnson88]

well put

[Boone382]

Agreed...

[1ThatZmE1]

not agreed.

[WoolyJoe]

Agreed to "not agreed"

[daveM134]

bullshit! got worse with, weekend in the city, then got better with intimacy.....

seems like someones a bit of a luddite

[1ThatZmE1]

was this reply meant for me? because i said i like their new stuff too. anyway, i don't agree with you. :P weekend is very good.

[anathir]

there are some gems in weekend in the city. The songs they have there are different, doesn't make them a worse band, but they provide fans a different style of songs that have their own time, place and mood. I love all their stuff... and my top 10 are a mix of their 3 albums and numberous b sides (rhododendron and skeleton anyone?)

[vowtosi]

skeleton is so great

i'm all for the marshals are dead too

[ArsenBridge]

dyke

[wasey1991]

WTF u on totally not tru disagree strongly!!!

[isolationeitheror]

im glad you can like their new stuff then....

[WillordWinkyPants]

agreed, i have never tired of listening to silent alarm, i tired of the other two albums pretty quickly. it was just so genuine and awesome from a group of then unknown guys.

[demblueeyes]

I am a racist and I take offense to your comments.

[DiegoSikora]

is it me or the beggining of Helicopter sounds a little bit rubbish

[wardyboy26]

GASP !!! BLASTFORMY !!!!

or how ever u spell it...

[Username363636]

is it just me or do these lyrics make no sense....

[lolh4x]

Deep meaning is often found in Bloc Party songs, many say that Helicopter is about Racism.

[TheStrokes229]

Some people say its about racism yes, but also about George Bush and his mistakes, the same mistakes his father made, and how he is, sarcastically, gonna save the world and hoping for a mircale

[ASqUEe183722]

It is

[KnockYourHouseDown]

I find it funny the way he sings the line "Cueing up for some more junk food" when performing Helicopter. It becomes "Cueing up for some morrrrrrrre"

I love Bloc Party.

[KIATIN]

he sounds odd...

[lolh4x]

So Here We Are for the fucking win. So much better live. Helicopter is sick too, it's like.. indie mosh.

[TrentSUB]

This is all I need to get me through the day.

[CSidaway]

Does anyone know what Guitar Effect he uses for this song ?

cheers

[aussieboy90]

some sort of delay effect off one of his boss pedals (Y)

[devilshaircutnessity]

yea its a boss-pedal. im pretty sure its the boss-delay-DD7

[iLoveBlocPartyJK]

Its a DD6, DD7 wasnt out in 2k7 :P

[dandansailorman]

a tiny bit of distortion but a cleanish effect in general, i dont think there is much delay in most of the song, the the occasional bit is used, its just fast picking,look at the tabs

[TheTingOfTheWater]

about 7:00 it sounds like.. tulips? or another bloc. song.. usually I know every song of them but now not xD

[robertoshorto]

helicopter my friend :)

[TheTingOfTheWater]

haha yeah i know (now) sorry (:

..friend ^^

[triple500400300]

I (L) Bloc Party

[bausy88]

Silent Alarm is their best album IMO

[ilcolo91]

yes you right

[123dancewitme]

2:39 his face just shows it all the happyness of him brill !

[sprtn117c]

shortcut to helicopter:  4:08

[guy1220]

thanks! but i still think "so here we are" is kickass song

[sprtn117c]

shortcut to so here we are: 0:05 :)

[wonderfulwomp]

fuck you.

[taquito666]

chevere man

[aDeLuXzOo]

wooooooooooooooooow...Bloc Party es lo mas cool

[prt1990]

To the people complaining there isn't enough distortion:

the recorded version has very little distortion on the guitars - one of the things that makes the 'main riff' so great is that you can hear the individual notes being played. The guitar sound here is actually very good, except perhaps for Russel's chorus in 'Helicopter'.

[bloc22]

very true, the song has practically no distortion because thats how it really is

[soundgarden86]

i agree with ya

and besides this is much better than with a distortion

you can hear the beatiful melodies now !

i love it !

[bloc22]

hell yeah!

[lewiskac]

this song is wicked i cant wait to see them live finally getting the same a vintage yellow telecaster just like russell's....... love bloc party

[jimmyunited]

2.45-2.55: A very matching combination of sound and image.

[specialk25]

definitely an EPIC BLOC

[utubecansuckit]

The silent alarm days sure was something special

[xoxox282]

i know :) i do still love them but i cant help feeling they've gone downhill since the days of silent alarm.

[isolationeitheror]

i definitely feel the same way.

i dont like most of their new music.

[rockthecasbah92]

weekend is the best album

[siggy10]

im goin to see them in November cant wait

[BoogeymanE14]

same here mate

[kernel1010]

i liek helicopter at this fast tempo much more excting then the recorded one

[LaurennAliicexx]

2 best songs theve ever done, id give my life to see this live.

[dassenft]

i did see them live @ southside festival in germany... and it was so much fun!!!

get to see them!!!

[frankwhite877]

absolutely ill

[RookieRockstar1]

wat guitar does kele play does anyone no ?

[Aardvarked88]

fender telecaster bro, a lot of the indie bands use them - they're awesome guitars.

[subwoofer069]

I think bloc party are genius and I love them but can I just ask why the bass player always looks so sad or disinterested?

[Ltjrevival]

Probably cause his part is always too easy

[serpukhovien]

there isnt really much to do when you play a song that slow

[xXChexMexXx]

truth be told i think so here we are is harder on bass cuz it requires waaay more concentration...on helicopter to me its easier than so here we are

[allth3s4me]

slow songs are the fucking hardest thing, harder than very, very fast songs

[TheJwoo]

Very true. Gotta have 'em though.

[Jikel7Bob224]

wow amazing! one of their best live performances in my opinion (So Here We Are, Helicopter wasn't as good)

[SilentBombr]

what a great drummer

[Jikel7Bob224]

agree completely, all the band members are very good but Matt Tong is one of the best drummers i've heard

[leviindierocker2]

All my fellow bloc party fans add me as a friend!! I want fellow bloc-heads on my page :)

[novemberalfa18]

i'm just sad that they've passed the indie to pop..:( but still my favourite band

[samandnag]

bigtig4life is in the closet...

[bobdoleloveslotion]

is kele gay? cuz ive read some things from magazines that infer that but never really a strate up answer

[glassjaw585]

Bloc Party is one of thoose bands that everyone can love!

[samandnag]

bigtig4life you are a complete douche. You make no sense at all. If you don't respect homosexuals then your missing out on a lot of good music, films and everything else. Haha.

[bigtig4life]

"Complete douche"...how original. I don't mind homosexuals' music and film, but as for "everything else," I'll pass.

[vickiemmale]

how funny is bigtig4life (not)... its a shame that some people are so up their own arse.. no punn intended..

[bigtig4life]

I'll say.

[bausy88]

Yeah, sorry guys, this is a great vid though, shame about bigtig4life :)

[ihurthurt]

better luck next time

[BlasphemousZele]

@bigtig4life; you're such a loser,

his sexual orientation has nothing to do with his music, how can you lose respect for someone because he's gay?

I thinks everyone here agrees with me if I say that we lose respect for people like you who say that kind of things

btw; i'm sorry for my bad english,

[leksi777]

great word´s,I´thank the universum for people like you.

[OllieDarlingCool]

You guys need to get out more instead of arguing over a video- you are ruining the video..

People dont want to know about your domestic issues- you are both as petit as each other..

We should just enjoy the excellent vid.

x

[pfork9]

6 out of 10 better look next time!

[cajukz665]

mmm i don`t know if the good old jesus likes bad words, you are out of place, for that matter you shouldn`t even be here on the demonic internet prick go to the church o something and stop poisoning minds here you double minded fanatic

[bigtig4life]

Cajukz665, you don't know a lot of things. Among those things is how to express yourself clearly in written English. Also, you're in no position to say what Jesus likes or doesn't like, unless you two were close friends or you can read the minds of the dead, both of which are highly doubtful.

[thatsfreakinword]

haha u think jesus was even a real person!

what a fuckwit!

well said cajukz665!!!!

[bigtig4life]

"Fuckwit"...wow you people are taking wordplay to a whole new level. But next time you wish to communicate a point, let's try complete sentences and proper grammar(a word or two in English might help). Just a thought.

[jibz88]

Wow i really respect you man. You must practice really hard on being a narrow minded prick, or does it come natural to you? Either way good job man. The world needs more ignorant people like you in it.

[bigtig4life]

Agreed.

[garethp92]

Jesus was a real person, there are records of him.

whether he was the son of God and could actually perform miracles however, no-one will ever really know.

[calumisdead]

Wow, that was...relavent.

[garethp92]

it is relavent if you look back a few pages where thay are all arguing about him

[gibblesmorrison]

Allah is real too.

And buddah.

And the stay-puft marshmellow man.

There are also "records" of captain picard taking on the Borg, turns out "records" arn't all they cracked up to be.

[bausy88]

How contradictory of yourself bigtig4life. Previously you stated you lost respect for Kele because of his sexual orientation because your "god" does not approve. Yet here you state "you're in no position to say what Jesus likes or doesn't like, unless you two were close friends or you can read the minds of the dead". Seeing as you are neither of those two, where do you get your evidence from concerning Jesus's position on homosexuality?

[bigtig4life]

First of all, do not use Jesus and God interchangeably, they are not the same. Second, I get my evidence concerning God's position on homosexuality from the Bible(obviously).

[aussieboy90]

haha well said

i am a catholic, but i could not care less that kele is homosexual

he is a fantastic musician and no-one should judge anybody based on their sexuality/race/or anything else

long live bloc!

[nostro1]

i agree

[calumisdead]

As do I.

Bloc Party are the friggen shiz. There isnt and never will be a band like them. They are every good element of every good band ever, put into this amazing band. They could never do anything wrong. I love them. All of them. Amazing. Truely amazing.

[mrdilkington]

Right, bibtig4life, u say uve lost respect for him because he's gay, and have justified this by using the bible. So, i take it that u dont eat fish, or any animals which walk on 4 legs then (which it also says in the bible). You can't pick bits of it to believe in to satisfy your own archaic views.

[thelambster]

I used to feel a bit annoyed that this band is underrated, but now i'm glad. I'm glad not everyone likes them, so when you do go see them, you know everyone in the crowd is a proper fan x)

[FlammablePlanet]

Aww...and it ends w/Kele's lovely smile:)

[GPower11]

What the hell does his sexual preference have to do with his music? Go listen to Oasis

[bigtig4life]

Like I said, the music is amazing. It's simply a matter of personal respect. No offense to anyone, by the way.

[Spoono]

I don't understand.

[Confuzzlement]

No offense?

If you mean no offense:

DONT POST HOMOPHOBIC MESSAGES ON POPULAR COMMUNITY SITES.

-.-

[bigtig4life]

Blow me! How's that for homophobia?

[OakleyDesign]

You lost respect for him cos he's gay? Glad to see you got ur agenda right.

[pawncakes]

bigtig4life, you can acknowledge gays, you don't always have to follow upon what the man in the sky says.

[bigtig4life]

Confuzzlement, I don't see what losing respect has to do with homophobia. Pawncakes, I've been following upon what the "man in the sky" has been saying all my life, I don't plan on making any exceptions. Also, if you guys have a problem with my exercising my 1st amendment rights... FUCK OFF!

So why would you lose respect for him (for being gay) if you werent homophobic?

Retard ^.-
