BIFFY CLYRO - interview

[twaaatter]

@linzirawrfaemyspace No one likes a name dropper.

[geecarrr]

puzzle's a great album!

Yet my favorite song is from the Infinity Land album, track 1 - Glitter & Trauma.

<3

[65blizzard]

[EmmaOberst]

now, i do love simon. i love all the boys in biffy clyro. (:

but james, ohmysweetjesuschrist, he is so bloody handsome and cute and just fgagdaygfyefgwyfg! <3

[1800canawe]

such an underrated band. im from texas and i happened to see them on tv at a music festival and i havent stopped listening to them since

[The9Train]

@1800canawe I couldn't agree more. I'm from NYC and I stumbled upon them and have been obsessed since. They're such a breath of fresh air in a music industry that is so watered down and shitty. Cannot wait til they come back to the US... Plus, Simon is god-like.

[HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE]

froem scotland??

[TheVideoGenre]

Its Jesus!:D

[KateH2376]

[JaidaPosh]

I was totally going to say he reminds me of Kurt Cobain. Actually they are Francis beans favorite band. I just started listening to them about a month ago and I LOVE them!! Old stuff new stuff. There probably one of my favorite bands since the Nirvana days!!

[megaaaaaaaaan]

What's with all the shitty camera angles and the greyscale?! Spoilt a good 8 minute video of simon neil speaking!

[Hoohaa61]

Oh...they are Scottish....Now I get it!!! :) Bunches of Paolo Nutini fans are into them! :)

[darkwizardlord]

the woman asking the questions was a gob shite! u could tell the guys where like what the fuck is she shiting on about! she hadnt a clue.

but the guys held themselves together perfectly.

i could just waych simon for days

[DiedInPain23]

the grunge style died `94!!

[MissNothing09]

Simon Neil soooo fittt!!

[robintopping62]

Are these guys from Ayrshire?

My wife and I have recently moved to Mauchline. I had never heard of Biffy Clyro before. We've been a wee bit out of touch with Scottish bands - been in Morocco for 6 years & Edinburgh (off the coast of Morocco!) for 20 years.

Anyway, bottom line Bloody Brilliant band. Good luck guys.

[Undsable]

I have just found out that my moms cousin is Simons wife shit that's exciting

[NxR]

@Undsable lol wtf that's rad, sweet

[allrain]

@Undsable yeah. obviously. lol

[NewParamoreGirl]

[LindseySkye]

I'm going to marry a scottish guy

[MsChainsaw1]

[allrain]

lol he sounds exactly like Groundskeeper Willie in this one, ahahah.. Love Biffy Clyro

[Swayden2kX]

@allrain are you american?

[allrain]

@Swayden2kX Nope. Italy. Why you ask?

[FullMetalJacket0903]

how amazing would a gigi with bloc party and biffy be!! my two fav bands atm

[littleyamaha]

what a shit interview! it's not 'puzzles' it's 'puzzle' dear. haha

[manicmacintosh]

Give the woman a break FFS. She's Belgian, not her mother tongue she was speaking in. I'm pretty sure her English could put most of ours to shame.

[acdcbestfan]

this band makes me proud to be Scottish

[jakxcombat]

@acdcbestfan Same :)

[donnemoiunnom]

@acdcbestfan I'll second that ;)

[01karoline]

@acdcbestfan totally... this band is great... love being Scottish!! =]

[tecklePie]

the worst interviewer ever. crap questions from someone who cant talk. she keeps calling the album puzzles.haha

[linzirawrfaemyspace]

ive met simon about 20 times (i know his wife and he lives in the same town as me)

and every time i hear him, his voice gets sexier haha :]

[Simone222444]

I love His Voice (:

[AlexB7]

They're easily my fav band by miles.

Got to stay behind and meet them after the signing they did in HMV in b'ham on wed, such cool chilled normal guys. Love them!

[phillrocks]

[LeaheyHoo]

Cool video! Check out my profile for live concert clips from Biffy Clyro and more!

[dafronz5]

saw them at rock city on 14th it ruled

[trigbiffy]

Watched them again last night that's 9 times and they still rock although I prefer them 3years ago just seemed to rock harder..

Simon Neal is the closest any one has come to Kurt Cobain!!!!

[hannah0040]

best band EVER!!!!!

[derminator14]

saw the last night in dublin supporting bloc party!!they really got the crowd going!i was wishing they had changed there minds about folding stars...but i was grasping at false hopes!:'(!

[guildwardian]

this is hardcore guild wars shit (thats a very good thing so dont take it as an insult towards biffy clyro cos they fuckin rock)

[TheCultofBiffyClyro]

Pour les adeptes du culte de Biffy Clyro, c'est par ici!

[elabringino]

wow, these guys are incredibly cool! very down to earth, didn't expect that! i saw them open for qotsa and they were awesome!

[flylikehawkings]

MON THE BIFFY

seen them 9 times, hopefully 2 more times on there upcoming uk tour.

[willarveschoug]

this is filmed like a porn film

[cobain6]

lmao

[prominator]

I spoke to them for a long time after they hed played in sweden togheter with blocparty:)

Still I think they've become more to the mainstream wall with thier latest album, It's to normal.. you know like; vers, chorus, vers.. and so on. Their old albums hed more wierd stuff and.. I donät know how to explain really.

[derminator14]

what were they like then?

[prominator]

First I spoke to Simon only, he was smoking outside and we talked about a lot of stuff like; what he was listening to at our age (17) and I remeber he mentioned refused(very good swedish band) and I told him about my band and stuff, we play punk and he was like, Oh I like punk!

that was cool.

[prominator]

then he went in and said he where going to bring Ben and James. shortly afterwards they came out. I talked to them for a shile to about a lots of stuff.

When we where talking to them blocparty where playing inside and we said that we just where here to se them and not bloc party and thet seemed to make them happy :)

Me and my friends where like the only biffy fans there:P

[smithemm9799]

saw there show last night in SLC, opened for 'The Editors,' AMAZING!!!!

[Femmz]

They are both so sexy!

that accent is just wow:)

[MCRcutiepie]

omg. I fucking love the scottish accent!

[Skull0nFire]

hahaha look at 0:53 he has the sexiest laugh!

i met them at the sighning at HMV, theree awsome

mon the biffy!!

[piglicious]

They seem so incredibly nice! :)

and their accent is awesome.

[downie123]

LOL, check out Ben at 00:40 he walks in and looks like he doesnt have a fucking clue and walks off again.

MON THE BIFFY, goin to c them in october.

[DeanDobbs]

LOL I really do love the way that everyone seems to think Biffy Clyro weren't professional or an established band before they made Puzzle. When she spoke about them 'deciding to be more professional' you could see them instantly thinking 'Fuck off'. :]

[jayshiz]

whats with the shit camara work?

[chrismcwhitt]

great vid.

it's so weird seeing the biffy and being able to say 'i have spoke with them too' :)

[JoeSkaterGuitarist]

where is ben in this?

[unwin01]

he comes out halfway through! did you not see him? :-D

[monkeyboi12345]

good interview thou :)

[monkeyboi12345]

do you mean si?

[remrule]

hehehe one of my mates looks just like sam its quite mad plus i aint told him yet mayb i should lol

[aegaegwa]

'mon the biffy!

[Phonicsey]

Awh, James is lovely =o) To all those who asked, the name is nothing to do with "Cliffy Byro", that is a total MYTH.

[bulletinthehed]

i think these guys are total legends!

[Benthedrummers]

Chili's didnt used to be mainstream at all, but after californication it all changed

[bushuaaaa]

big imagination for feeling young cause life yearns real optimism. biffy clyro

[wingbatknickers]

dude calm down. your a freak for freaking out so harshly on nothing at all. she's attemting to speak another language. Bet you can't even speak English properly.

[abatha26]

puzzles

haha

[DangerRifai]

wow. harsh.

[bretty19923]

biffy is love

[twinkletoes82]

Mon the Biffy! New LP is fuckin fantastic, one of best things this year... and ever! Give the interviewer a break - she is from Belgium.

[greendaypunks99]

ok,but for me mainstreem sounds like paris hilton,britney spears ,take that,chart pop and stuff like that

[charmedredhead]

that is "pop". mainstream is a whole different story and the meaning of it doesn't change with different people it has a fixed meaning. You say "pop and stuff like that" that's just a genre. Mainstream is based on how many fans they have how many records they sell, whether they are a household name and i think you'll find rhcp are rather well known.

[Robandrews10]

such nice guys! i hope i can see them some point, theyre music is sooo good!

[greendaypunks99]

what?? RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS MAINSTREEM??

[thomyorke4president]

Short of U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers are the most mainstreAm band on the planet, yes. Shortly followed by Green Day. Then you've got your Foo Fighters and your Coldplay. If you're not aware RHCP are mainstream, you've barely listened to any music. Wake up.

[dee4life2006]

i fucking hate that interviewer, she actually said " you have a new albums out called Puzzles" fucking freak!

MON THE BIFFY!!!

[cianoldschool]

Ha! She's a pretty bad interviewer in fairness to her, i'd say the lads had a good laugh after that one, they almost look surprised at some of the stuff she says! 'mon the Clicky Biro!

[pauleth9]

wwere is ben man? as his martial arts instructor i hope he is away trainig somewhere. mon the biff keep up the good work

[MackLoud]

Haha, she did actually know about the Cliff Richard biro story, it wasn't too bad.

Where's Ben, though? :D

[djmzkondukt]

Yes, I agree, she doesnt really know what shes talking about.Poor Simon, he looks puzzled,nevamind the album name.I Love Biffy, they are the hottest band alive!:)

[miggillicuddy]

I love them so much.

This interview is pretty gash. yes, the interviewer is belgian or whatever, but she could have done some research.

Some good genuine answers to some dodgy questions.

<3

[Saladbowl]

Check out a song by my band. Biffy are a great influence to us. We love em dearly... watch?v=dVPKGAW60H4

[andymiles01]

It would help if the Stupid Slapper knew her subject!I feel Si and Jimbo's awkwardness!!!

[naykon1]

couldn't watch it past 2 mins, "Puzzles"??? its puzzle ya fuckin retard, learn about a band before interviewing them!

[russellnews]

YES MON THE BIFFY !

[TheKevRawks]

the name is from i lucifer. lucifer in the book states biffy clyro would be a great name for something. The 2nd album title vertigo of bliss was taken from the book as well.

[thebanderosse]

actually...the name is apparently based on a joke about a personilsied biro made for cliff richard...cliffys biro...biffy clyro...learn up m8

[TheKevRawks]

go twat yourself mate

[thebanderosse]

mature...

[rachmrachum]

no! thebanderosse is right. every hard core biffy fan knows that :) it was in one of their first interviews with kerrang mag. yeah i know i'm a geek. a geek that saw them 3 times live within 2 weeks ahh festival fun :)

[kurtkabane]

Yeah that is true, though it was more fun pointing out how pretentious 'TheKevRawks' was being :)

[bushuaaaa]

wrong way round fool. ive read i lucifer which was realised in 2002 and biffy were out prior to that. infact they started in 1995 as screwfish then became biffy after. what you menat to say was that the vertigo of bliss there second album is from i lucifer because its a line in the book

[Adamwoodbass]

Mon the Biffy!

[megzislost]

love these guyz sooo much!! but i want some ben lol! met him at the after party in barrowlands

[fistfulofmercury]

great stuff. does anyone know why their name is Biffy Clyro?

[Quiston]

thier name apparently comes from a conversation about

cliff richards biro pen... then that became cliffy biro and then that became biffy clyro...

i think its an awesome name... and i've heard that the band wanted a name that you couldnt pidgeon hole them with like you couldnt guess what they sounded like from thier name...

[fistfulofmercury]

wow that's cool i never knew that! thanks alot mate.

[puzzle789]

Mon the biffy! what was ben doing? haha

[graeme6630]

MON THE BIFFY!!

[vicentiugarbacea]

Simon, James and Ben are really great guys. I've met them backstage in Munich after their gig on the 9th of May, a great day in my life. They've been so nice, signed me autographs and chat a bit. Not a single trace of 'rock stars' arrogance. I just love their music and I highly appreciate their honesty. Biffy's music is just hardcore symphony. I hitchhiked along way to see them and I hope to see a big gig in the future. Go on guys! Cheers

[unwin01]

Haha i love how ben walks out after about 50 seconds, see's whats going on then fucks off again!

[distinctlyplain]

Probably my internet going mad but this stops after 4mins..

[scinnybiffy]

aw i love biffy

[fernmak]

They meen everything to me. wish i could have a biffy "b" tattoo but im a bit young at the moment. great interview great band

[mrcat1990]

the band dont like people gettin the b tattooed anymore cause its lost its meaning i love biffy and would get the b but simon personally said rather i didnt. n hes such a lovley guy so i obliged

[eiaarias]

oh mee gaad im planning to have one tattooed myself! scottish accent is really hot. simon's really hot, being scottish is a plus hahaha

[jwillchad]

thanks for this, great to see a proper biffy interview on youtube nicely done!!!

[seasonrock]

loving that interview! very well done!

mon the biffy :)
