  • Long Life To The Editors.

  • what a performance

  • Remembers me to Fisher Z, long Time ago. Good to Know, that fantastic Music never ends^^

  • The best youtube video of E D I T O R S.

  • I think they sound more like The Chameleons more then Joy Division. Nothing wrong with that though, quality band that's very underrated and also from Manchester like Joy Division. Look up The Chameleons and don't tell me that Editors don't sound more like them.

  • Comment removed

  • @pipolaye Did you finished watching the video???

  • omg..these guys play with elecric guitars, bass, and acoustic drums, and have mics for vocals..they are so totally ripping of _______________ gotoAndGet("Any_rock_band_in_h­istory)

  • For some reason I always picture the lead singer in my head as looking like John Mcenroe...anybody else?

  • Munich is just perfect!

  • I hate how every post punk revival band like Interpol and Editors are called "rip-offs" of Joy Division. Hello people! Thats why it's called "Post Punk REVIVAL". They aren't stealing, they're keeping the spirit alive!!!

  • I HAVE to go see this band live, Ediors are so awesome, isn't a single bad track on this album

  • Ever since I heard "Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors" I've been mesmerized by this band, and everytime I hear a song from them, regardless of how many times I've heard it, they never cease to amaze me.

  • I agree, comparing is shit!!!

  • apparantly tom has to wear one of those transformer voice convertor helmets from argos or something because heaven forbid he should have a good voice similar to that of joy division

    there not the same their both individual bands and no they also dont sound like coldplay

  • Editors copying Joy Division?

    Hardly.

    People only bring up the comparison because Tom and Ian both have Baritone vocals, they are not comparing the music.

    The music itself if completely different in style and sound.

  • A-ha... And you are a moron=)

  • JD are SHIT

  • Whats the name of the second song?

  • @EverLong1995 

    "Munich" . Their best song.

  • Haters gonna hate.

  • JD fans just like to say everything and anything is a ripoff of ian curtis and joy division, and be all on fire about the whole thing. I love Ian Curtis and JD, and i don't mind at all hearing things that sound like them, it shows that they made an influence on people, that they actually were heard and not under-appreciated.. they were achingly, heartbreakingly beautiful. I adore bands who are influenced or at least touched by what JD was, I love that the flame isn't dead..i'd be sad for music.

  • God Damn, I Really Like Editors (gets a job,saves money, travels to New York and jumps off a very high building)

  • Editors, Interpol, Joy Division etc are all different. None are the same. They are all in their own league. Just because of the vocals being a little similar, doesn't make them copies of each other. That's the stupidest criteria to judge a band.

    Individuality is what these bands are going for & they definitely achieved this. Like visual art, music is all about individuality and unique styles. If you cant' see Editors for what they are, rather than what they sound LIKE, then u have a problem.

  • Tom looks a bit like Mr. Bean

  • @carnota1972 Well, Thats the biggest crap i ever heard.

  • @olhonmusic A little hint for you.Millions of people around the world listen to Editors.If you dont like them just stop listening them.And go troll somewhere else.

  • @32bom "Millions of people around the world listen to Editors". sure, you're right. But it's also true that they are a clone! :-) music biz is full of clones, that's normal. When there's a lack of ideas, people steal them from others, hoping in a commercial success. And luckily (for Editors) Joy Division are unknown for most of today's young boys..they did a good job in this sense. But...what about the aestethic value of this operation? IMHO it's near zero. But I'm a troll, I could be wrong...

  • @olhonmusic I just wanted to say that I don t like when someone criticizes their work in that kind of way.You are wright i am 32 and I don t know Joy Division well.But they are something different and they are unique in these times.Maybe there is a small similarity,but still Editors are separate band.No offense Cheers from Poland

  • Favourite live song of all time, and for those who say editors are copying joy division,interpol or depech mode, sure the're all good bands and sound similar but for fuck sake unless the songs are exactly the same lyrics, title and music its their own music and their not gonna stop because you say 'its sounds too much like another band' so stop complaining and get a life

  • oah please... just stop whining about it.... they make great music, there's nothing more to say

  • The bass, is the same that uses Snow Patrol´s bassist or not?

  • Yeah, Rickenbacher 4000 series (4001, i think). Snow Patrol's bassist is left handed though.

  • rickenbacker 4001

  • This is the only Editors that we know of.

  • I knew they would!

    I remember my band tried to cover this song, and we thought we weren't bad.

    When we tried to play it with the album version, however, we couldn't help but fall behind.This song is remarkably fast on the album.Playing it at its original speed is, in my mind, an amazing feat.If you listen, you can hear they play it slower.

    NOTE:

    I AM NOT CRITICIZING THE EDITORS.

  • I saw this guy here on youtube cover it, and he was just as fast as the album! Blew me away, and totally made my day.

  • But you must tell me why my friend?!?!?!

  • i'm with you on this

  • Nothing even close to the realms of Joy Division and Interpol.

  • I agree to an extent, I think its consistency where the Editors fall down next to Interpol and Joy Divisions prligicy.

    But damn theyre a good listen when theyre on fire, and trump both other bands live.:P:P:P

  • I can't stand it when people compare bands. Why can't they just be judged individually?

  • Because this band owes royalties to Ian Curtis's estate. Joy Division was doing this stuff thirty years ago, when it was interesting. Now, it's just a rehashed, derivative band with no individuality.

    Just because I can write a tragic five-act play in blank verse doesn't mean I should be compared to Shakespeare.

  • @iamlameduck Why watch Editors videos then?

  • i agree with you joy division are great but editors are a sepearte band and very good

  • i used to not like them, thought they were some of the many generic versions of JD, but...they got their own genius

  • Which kind of tele does he use ?

  • its a telecaster custom

  • Look at that insane passion @ 1:13. Insanity. He's putting so much of himself into it, makes me want to worship him :O.

  • I went to a movie rental place and on the new releases section, I saw a Joy Division DVD. I laughed. On the box, it said how inspirational they were. I think Editors takes indie to a whole new level rather than Joy Division.

  • i love the editors they r one of the best bands around who cares who they sound like they are the EDITORS

  • great

  • ryanpa1 they're british so they're better. FACT

  • They are great, they just seem a bit nervous, but i can understand that... Best band ever!

  • Nah. The way they make songs is a bit different from Interpol. The bass lines and the guitar riffs don't sound alike. It's just that the genre is the same. I agree that both bands make great music.

  • Fuck you are prick they are well good. i saw them at glastonbury and they were great. try some hearing aids prick

  • two different bands.

  • your voice....i don't know sounds diferent i think

    xD

    but i love him <3

    thanks very much for sharing this!!!!!

  • they are a very powerful band and its annoying when people compare them to other bands!

    tom is hot! but i think i prefer him with his longer hair! :D

  • I cant think of a band they sound like to be honest their pretty original ! and yeh i love em!

  • Snow Patrol influences are blatant. Joy Division... Face it, as hard as it is to say, it's almost impossible to be original, because with today's speed, as soon as you come up with something good, it's been sampled by an R&B artist or ripped off by the indie crowd.

  • unless you were born in isolation and never heard any music it is impossible to be original. little pieces of everything you listen to work their way into your music.

    good song though

  • hmm toms voice sounds a bit less deep than usual, anyway still great proformance, AND IN MY OPINION EDITORS ARE BETTER THAN INTERPOL ( im not interested if that makes me a whatever youre gonna say )

  • luv this band-oh yeah also like joy division 2-but the editors have their own sound-they make luvly sounds...

  • jools is a legend

  • did i hear right? Jools said the editors were dreadful?!(3.24) and i thought he was a musical genius...

  • he said lets hear it for them

  • Nah, he says

    "from their great album the back room, let's hear it for the editors!"

  • twat off you dog paw!!!!

  • Whenever I say anything about Interpol or Editors the first everyone says is, "They're just a rip off of Joy Division!"!

  • In the comments section on every Editors video there is at least one person who says that they're just a Joy Division rip-off (which is bollocks as they sound nothing alike) and another who says they're not as good as Interpol (also bollocks).

    Oh dear, two bands in the world who sound vaguely similair. How will we cope.

    I think that we should be so thankful.

  • fuck interpol?fuck you...you fucking homo..

  • i agree with you

  • jools holland's such a legend

    E D I T O R S

  • It's amazing how much better Tom has gotten in concert since they first came on the scene. I he was still great during the Back Room days, but nothing like he is now.

  • The editors are amazing, breathtaking

  • because they have bad breath?

  • wtf

    interpol???

    maybe youre retard

  • meant for grenade gun, cos he blatently sticks his dick in a Gears Of War box set and jerks off.

  • your a twat.

  • ye your band is fucking horrible as well

  • i like the concept but sounds a bit like interpol... but you can say also that interpol sounds like joy division, its a vicious circle.

  • it's his voice that reminds you...but anyway there are so many bands who sound like joy divison. :-)

  • Editors don't sound like Joy Division only because of Tom's voice, just listen to the instruments and riffs and stuff

  • its about time some fuckin bands play rickenbackers. those guitars rule

  • I agree on that.

  • Good point, definitely don't see enough around these days - they were good enough for the Beatles and Johnny Marr

  • why the hell is everybody arguing over a stupid comment? Just enjoy the music dudes!

  • tshhtf is what most people say as soon as they see you. Hence the name. Try holding a guitar the right way up before you even try to comment on music?

  • tshhtf...

    Being original is hard. What they are doing is fascinating: drawing inspiration and then changing it slowly away: i.e they already sound a lot warmer. You cannot die they are all very talented musicians, and they have connections like no tommorow in the industry. Just have patience.

    Everyone starts out imitating what they like. Take Ocean Colour Scene, the best band ever, started with everything sounding like the stone roses and slowly move it away.

  • ops I meant "Deny" not "die" :P

  • The vastly overated and incredibly dull Joy Divison did not have half of Editors talent.

    Joy Divsion must be the most revered but least listened to band in history.

    Editors fuse many influences with their own material resulting in the best live sound anywhere.

  • wow i am a fan of joy division and i have to agree with you

  • Haha. Calm Down Guys... Why Bother Even Typing In Editors Into Youtube If You Dont Even Like Them.. Its Just Silly.. As Is Slagging Off People Via The Internet, Its Not Exactly Cool Is It. =]]] xxxxx

  • Is it cool to type all yours beginning with a capital letter then? I guess so.

  • Your a penis.

  • See What I Mean. Its Just Youtube... Know One Cares...

  • the bullets in this video is amazing...the best one ive heard...thanks for posting this.

  • the lead guitarist has got to buy a new guitar man, hes gonna wear that one til its broke!! its a rick, he shouldnt be playing on it soo hard and soo much

  • for anybody who is confused, the first song is 'bullets' then the second song is 'munich'. both songs from the first album. Although i think the second album is slightly better.

  • the second song is munich

  • wow!!!, the guitarrist use a guitar rickenbacker 620/6

  • its both if you didnt realize it

  • yeah this is bullets. still rocks.

  • This is 'Bullets' not Munich

  • his hair looks much better long

  • saw them at splendour in the grass in aus, they were so good

  • saw them at v mate they were amazing

  • it reminds me a lot of Interpol

  • not as good for me the comparison between the too but closer than anything else out there besides joy division

  • Far better songs than Interpol.

  • I am so inloveee with his voice...so divine, he is so handsome and talented, one of a kind!

  • fuck the arguments these songs rock n the band r very good.

  • i lov da music dey r legends

  • tom smith looks way different dere dan he does in da video 2 dis song

  • Do they play this show on BBC America? They have great bands on it and I'd like to catch it. Thats the only BBC channel I have.

  • why do people have to compare all the time? just take it for what is is and if you dont like it dont listen to it

  • OOh they played this at T in the park. I think.

    was a proper good show!

  • better than the recorded version

  • yeah how dare you, these guys are WAAAAY better than Bob dylan

  • bob who?...............

  • Editors yes they are good and talented but something is missing off the album its not all there not like a turn on the bright lights by interpol which is complete. sorry to those who don't like interpol..{i think anyone who can read these comments Knows who im talking bout} i think the lyrics and the meaning the editors offer aren't as interesting as interpol's lyrics and writing ability. just as bob dylan horrible singer great lyricist and guitar player but theres more than singing in a band.

  • how dare you compare any of those losers to Bob Dylan. how fucking dare you.

  • Whoah, chill. It's just music.

  • shit music being compared to good music makes me angry. and i think the idea of "just" music is pretty relative.

  • That's what you think, in my opinion these are kinda good. If you wanna go off on a hissy fit 'cause someone doesn't agree with your tastes, take it somewhere else.

  • Amen to that. im sick of seeing youtube arguments

  • i can see these becoming alot like joy division, good tune

  • absolutely LOVE this band

  • i saw these live when they supported franz ferdinand !!

  • stop talkin shit, editors rock saw them at camden last month, where you there? do i care!

  • Oh, how I adore Tom Smith! :) What a gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous voice he has. And Munich is a brilliant song!

  • i'm pretty sure Ian Curtis is happy with Tom Smith and the Editors because they really rock:)

  • ian curtis is dead u idiot

  • i know that u idiot, but i'm pretty sure he is happy wherever he is! I know Ian Curtis music long before you were even born, so shut up!

  • why how old are you, im not 18, this is my brother youtube account

  • For Cool T-Shirts, Vests & Hoodies this summer click on my name and you can find an address on my page, alternatively click on any of my vids and you'll find it there too.

  • Jools Holland is such a smug bastard, haha.

  • Bloc Party better than Editors. Best laugh I've had in a long time. Editors have nailed the Alternative aesthetic, with anger and beauty in abundance. Magical.

  • I like Interpol a little more but both bands better pray to Ian Curtis every night because if it wasn't for Joy Division these bands wouldn't be here.

  • All the haters need to shut up. There are worse things in the world than hearing bands on the radio that sort of sound like Joy Division. Other generations should be so lucky.

  • editors are great even if they are from... shhh ...birmingham

  • No Ian Curtis,you're not dead.

  • great performance

  • ahhh I love themm! Probably one of the best bands today!!

  • wow, love his voice!

  • I agree. He's so much better at singing than the lead singer for Interpol. Editors' singer sounds smoother and fits the emotion of singing vs. shouting.

  • wow thats a lie, its not about range interpol gives the music character. joy divisions off ness you can say gave them character plus interpol smoked editors on reviews check pitchfork media

  • You say I lie about Editors' singing vs. Interpol's, but support my statement by saying "it's not about range, it's about character."

    I never said anything about character. My comment was directed strictly toward the ability to sing. And as for reviews... that's great. Opinions from opinion sources... nothing like the "truth". I don't like Interpol... got a problem? Face it, b/c not many people do when you look at what is popular today, son.

  • you were going so well until you appended the "son" bit.

    i think you are right about tom smith being a better singer than paul banks but there's no need to patronise people into the bargain. i'm afraid by that post you just come off looking like a complete fucking twat.

  • When a person throws together a barrage of opinions and concludes his case by contradicting himself... how am I s'pose to view him? He just appears to be a reputable Interpol fan that holds fast his mindset.

    As for the latter part of your comment... I don't know what to say. Maybe I just know how to stress an objective opinion in a light-winded sense, instead of beating him/her over the head with frankness; not to mention the many flavors of vulgarity/rudeness.

  • i cant think of anything that sounds less like bloc party lol

  • the sound like kitchens of distinction

  • This kind of thing anoys me, you need to realise that nothing nowdays is a original... I've seen Editors suporting Franz Ferdinand at NEC in Brum in Nov. 2005, they were awesome... I love Bloc Party, Editors and Interpol and they sound nothing a like, only their influence's are virtually the same. There's something different in all three bands, may it be the guitar riffs, bass lines, lyrics and popularity, and their's somthing simular in all three bands.

  • crosswalkernie you are a jeerk

  • errrrrrmmmm bolc party and editors r totaly different although i think bloc party have amazing drum patterns and great guitar riffs editor r so much better they realy r its just a shame they aint as big

  • it's too LAZY!!!  bullets is manic and exciting on the album..it's so boring live.

    it's like "here comes the chorus..." there's supposed to be a "...BOOM!!!" but there's not...it just never takes off.

  • it doesn't sound like bloc party, but just like interpol.

    they have soon the same voice ^^

    it's faster than interpol however

  • The singer really takes aping Ian Curtis to a new level.

    The rest of the cues are from Interpol.

    I guess this is the sort of thing we'll have to get used to more often than not now that Indie has gone Pop.

  • Interpol is the cream of the crop with melancholic vocals, pixie-esque basslines, dreamlike dual guitars, and dense drumming.

    Bloc Party have a wailing singer unique to the post-punk sound. They also have a much tighter and more original rhythm section than Editors, and an excellent lead guitarist that is great with dissonance.]

    Editors? Meh. They are okay. Generic post-punk revival riding on the tales of Bloc And Interpol. They will be forgotten within 2 years.

  • Cross, my man......after An End Has A Start went platinum, do you wanna revise your comments?

    Interpol - Fucking brilliant band - in their own right

    Bloc Party - Fucking brilliant band - in their own right

    Editors - Fucking brilliant band - in their own right.

    You see wha I'm getting at here?

    Peace be upon you

  • I love the Editors and Snow Patrol but I just can't get into Bloc Party. Wish I could.

  • Bloc Party own Editors.

    Editors are just a better and more active Interpol.

  • Editors AND Interpol are both way better than Bloc Party

  • INTERPOL IS ALWAYS BETTER!!!!!

  • Please do not place Interpol, better, with Editors, a mess. Just dont!!!!
