The Cribs Reading / Leeds Festival 08

[crazyguy47]

turn down marr's mic a bit

[reversekrep]

Love the Cribs..... going to see them for the first time at Rockness in 2 weeks.... so excited :)

[Ainsy23]

I wonder if anyone pressed the red button when these guys were on. I doubt it.

[ply172]

What an intro!

"We're the Cribs from W-ache-field!"

[rhino0909]

to think that all these people wernt watching metallica, makes me want to be voilently sick. shame on all of you

[binstig]

@rhino0909 Be right up close to a band that changed my life (The Cribs). Or stand half a mile away from a generic metal band? The choice was so easy for me! This gig clearly meant something to The Cribs who tour endlessly, whereas this could be any other gig for Metallica.

[ProtoisRob]

I love their music, but they don't sound great live =/

[LAW12W]

"Hello Reading,

We are The Cribs from Wakefield!"

:DD

[bitchenhitchen]

wow.... that was powerful!!!

[ptbox5]

Future headliners. Seriously unique amount of energy. Wish a few more bands were like this :(

[beneve53]

this was just amazingto be at, i love the cribs.

the raw style of their songs is great live. their voices are rough and they don't play the tempo's consistently, but any fan watching them has an incredible time. what more can you want from a live set?

long live ryan jarman

[FlipstaGIB]

The drummer slows down on every chorus, the singing is off. They can barely play their own songs live.

[corbey3991]

best live song ever!! always great to start the gig off with it!!

[11SecondMemory]

I think the backup vocals are too loud, they overpower the lead vocals.. Sucks :(

[Anthologytheband]

not that greatest peformance, noticed how the tempo decays sometimes ?

[11SecondMemory]

The drummers fault :S

[Amarda01]

sounds like it was done pretty intentionally...

i'm not sure it works that well either but remember, tempo changes translate pretty differently when you're actually watching it in a live atmosphere.

[ratty860997]

Goosebumps

This was the highlihgt of Leeds fest for me that year. was an awsome festival.

[NibzandPie]

I love when the crowd joins in.

=]

[rubbertoe6661]

wow

it sounds even better

[corbey3991]

what a song!! best live song ever! love it every time i go to see them! leeds fest they were amazing.

[bassmasa]

This is a brilliant song, but sounds like they messed up the timing. . .

[oliverthomasdyer]

the cribs are way too underated. such a good set

[marokokisetter]

Johnny Marr..

i love this song. Its a fab morning song!

[moodiejg]

a lovely moment in my reading weekend.

[mikeyobie123]

Basicly anyone who disses these guy's are just perfetic pricks with no life.... why search for the song if you dont like it?

[CLOUDBOY78]

Out of time, out off tune and out of luck! GO LISTEN TO MODEST MOUSE. Johnny Marr has clearly lost the run of himself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jake300000]

Fuck off. The Cribs are class.

[CLOUDBOY78]

I think you'll find when you clear the shit out of your ears and open your tiny little mind that they are empirically rubbish. And its Mr. Fuck off to you !

[jake300000]

What makes them 'empirically' rubbish?

Their lyrics are extremely intelligent, as are the content of them, and the band are quality instrumentalists.

Also, why watch this video if you don't like the Cribs?

You pathetic dickhead.

Sorry, Mr. pathetic dickhead.

[CLOUDBOY78]

Ok Jerk300000,

Now I haven't heard any studio recordings, and please god I won't have the misfortune to hear any in the future. I am judging them merely on the live performances i've saw, sorry, 'endured' which is the measure of any good band worth their salt, and this sounds like a fucking pet shop on fire.If they are into intelligent lyrics go write some fucking poems instead coz musically they are shite. Quality instrumentalists ? Watch any kings of leon live footage . Now thats quality

[jake300000]

Gosh, you are hugely mature, aren't you?

If you heard any of the Cribs' recorded material, you can see how accurate and consistent they are when performing live. Ryan puts in excellent energy into his performances, Kings of Leon are boring, American mopheads that sing about nothing.

Go wank over your generic American bands and learn about quality music.

Knob.

[CLOUDBOY78]

WHAT A DEAF COCK FACE YOU ARE.

[jake300000]

Your insults are about as impressive as your musical taste and judgement.

Fucking idiot.

[paulmako]

CLOUDBOY, Mr Dickhead, or whatever you want to be called (mabye Dr Twatface?) you are clearly one of those lame people who post offensive posts to incite a reaction so you can laugh with yourself and think you have an ounce of power in the world... everyone is entitled to their opinion but to slate a band like that clearly shows you arn't interested in musical debate and just want to annoy people. Pathetic. Please, scrape the shit out of your brain and piss off. Mr Twat. Etc.

[itjuk22]

hahahaha totally agree!

[theoutsidersuk]

The Cribs are amazing, probably with people like you is you just don't understand

[maximusv1]

"and problem smell too !!!"

What?

[Quigh]

and problem smell too?

and this guy cant spell. twatter.

[ddddwhelan123]

@Quigh **can't

[binstig]

Why are you even bothering? You're not going to make everybody just go "yeah cloudboy is right." We all love The Cribs for their live energy and hard touring. They tour harder than any other band out their and will always have time for their fans. So stop preaching and piss off.

[deadmandanny88]

why even look up the song then you fucking dill

[SameWayOfSaying]

And you're an idiot: music is subjective.

[Quigh]

how the fuck are we deaf. if we all can clearly say our opinions on the music which we HEAR!!!

sort out your fucking life.

[Quigh]

well obviously not. because i managed to realise that if you can listen to music you're not deaf. so the jokes on you, my idiotic friend.

[itjuk22]

ahahah hey cloudboy bad news for u my friend met the jarmans and also jhonny marr in the airport of mexico jhonny told her that he prefer the cribs 100 time than modes mouse soooo now u can stop bitching =D

[CLOUDBOY78]

like i am gonna believe that !!! piss off prick face

[Quigh]

why are you such a fucking wanker to everyone cloudboy? sort your fucking life out instead of trying to bitch about good bands on a computer.

[TDJHOLDER]

haha that's the worst thing I've ever read

[itjuk22]

lol well we have pics in the myspace

but i cant post the link =/ if u want to see them just tell me

[adogwithahatonit]

Wooooo! i met them all after the Leeds gig,i snuck in V.I.P....fucking amazing!!! :D

[ratty860997]

The Leeds opening was much better they got a massive welcome from the local fans. the reading crowd seems a bit tame.

[adamfizz]

Nah man, they got an awesome reception at Reading too, it was crazy in the crowd. I can see how it would be better at Leeds though, seeing as they're locals.

And on the song: love it. Love the fact it's about the Pigeon Detectives: "You'd never exist if you wasn't generic"

[eddie11111]

yeah i saw em at leeds and it was amazing, its good to see they pulled in a big crowd at reading though, kinda suprised me!!

[Robinho514]

awesome! what a good song, totally agree perfect set opener!!

[jake300000]

Love this song, class way to open a fantastic set!
