i've seen so many people try, but Arcade Fire is the first that I've seen pair an electric guitar with violins so perfectly. these guys have to be one of the best bands in existence.
@tigerroar90 i love this band, saw them this weekend at reading and agree that violins and guitar are rarely put together well. The thrills do it nicely too tho.
@tigerroar90 Electric Light Orchestra... from 35 years ago lead the way.. they were remarkable, apparently each member of the beatles wished for their individual talents... they were all formally trained as are A.F.
Good question - the next logical stage would be evaporation, perhaps it is less well known because those who attain it tend to be difficult to gather together for a coherent interview? :-)
This is the first Arcade song that I heard approx. six months ago. The ending knocked me off my feet!!!! Played a few more on iTunes and then bought every song they made. Saw them in NYC and they just blew everyone away.
hahah good job, Richard! Ten points to Gryffindor!

Aren't they all fluent? I thought that Wyn had lived in a French-Canadian area for several years.

yeah... um no offense to arcade fire, i mean i adore those guys but their french is um ... well not their strong suit. even for Quebecois =D
actually come to think about it, the chick's french isn't all that bad, mostly the dude's...
not to say i don't like it, i find it's very cool they mix french in their songs...
averageguitarheroguy 2 years ago
totally agree with u mate, win's French sux but the girl is actually a native speaker, hence the better accent, for a quebecoise! lol
This song is still great, tho, even if he monte une cheval!

Win's french is a bit rough, but I think it's mainly his accent. The dude never sounds more Texan than when he tries to speak French.
Régine is fluent though, and she certainly seems to "think" in French and then translate into English for interviews.

She was born in Haiti, so I'd think she'd be AT LEAST fluent.
