[lightHeavyhorse]

@lightHeavyhorse hacked accounts.

[Rjimppy]

Why does it matter what they look like? They make awesome music isn't that enough?

[countingdown27]

@Rjimppy because you are what you look like. This is the first testament of the consumerist world.

[mizzrockgurl2020]

i couldnt remember who sung this and when i found it i was like YAY !!!!!! okay im gunna go now.... great song :) x

[MrPhilosopher17]

This song really relates to whats going on in my world. I am trying to decide between two girls. Both of them are my friends. Girl A) Is really similar to me and she is nice. Yet

Girl B) and I just click a lot better BUT her mind is made up on some other dude her friends think is better for her. She says she likes me.

"Yet I'm an indecisive, indecisive, piece of shit." Just wanted to vent. Thanks for the amazing band "The Cribs"

[bazrey]

@MrPhilosopher17 lol

[kswilson89]

@MrPhilosopher17 I've been in a similar position for about a year, how's that for indecisive haha. Good luck!

[XxXxtaniaxXxX]

gary is the fittest thing i have ever seen

[throwupandshutup]

the cribs are almost like the strokes, with a hint of phoenix.

[pontiuspilot1]

Magic tune.

[surfangryseas]

Why are these guys not bigger than oasis,

cause oasis= not as good as this.

[21Essexlad]

Are ppl serious? ohh dear, what a load of shite. Was hoping to find the woman who features in one of UNKLES videos on here and suddenly my ears started to bleed with this noise coming out of my speakers! worst song i have ever heard! period

[LAW12W]

@21Essexlad

Where on earth did you get that idea?

Do you just click on random videos and hope to see what you were looking for.

I might go watch a Deacon Blue video and hope to see a dancing badger.

[21Essexlad]

@LAW12W That would be interesting to see a dancing badger.... let me knw how you get on. I was watching one of UNKLES videos and the woman who starred in it said she features in this song somewhere so was checking it out. Hope that helps

[AirHendrix91]

Cool stuff.

[michaelstojsavljevic]

amazingg

[DeviousNegros]

that tone he's getting out of that 355, is perfect.

[ItsMyLife154]

[MANC2311]

The official video has bee taken down again because of copyright issues FFS!!! Can someone stick it back up if they've got it please,fuck UMG!!!

[mrtictac94]

Another great thing to come out of Yorkshire...

[Uzzie101]

Does anyone know where I can download the studio version for free?

I'm poor and desperate!

[ozzyoborne]

@Uzzie101 it's on spotify

[MsRiotLover]

this has got to be one of my favorite songs, ever.

its so.. excellant.

[daveatethepies]

@alleseigentlich Fuck off, they dont sing perfectly on the albums either, thats one of the things that makes them a decent band. That was a great performance

[QuickToMoOn817]

So realistic. [Thnkx Apple for showing me this song]

[funkmouseyang]

wow wtf dissapointing... he sings a lot worse live

[mattaki]

screw "mature' anything.

[alleseigentlich]

Live they're a bunch o crap. Everything's off. The singin's terrible and they don't act too enthusiastic. Meh.

[andytaliica96]

@alleseigentlich You get up there and do it. Bollockless twat.

[alleseigentlich]

@andytaliica96 Should a twat have bollocks then?

[famousxyz]

[Libertinedreamful]

[togwm]

[mmmthatsagudasm]

i really am an indecisive piece of shit

[TheKoalabanger]

3:03 OMG! The lead singer's buttcrack is showing!

:D

[thedukewestern]

this is great - its perfectly imperfect

[pandarusha]

I instantly didn't like the lead singer, but good tune!

[castorcastorcastor11]

SO GUD

[RAWRimatigermeow]

[tsconflictfree]

[MrMckenzietyrone]

@burplec Assholeham

[cardmastertj]

@burplec me too, but its a city not a town. :p

[burplec]

@cardmastertj well whatever it is, its wank.

[jt93guitar]

Why have they got 2 guitarists now?

[Jayyj]

@jt93guitar because the other's Jonny Marr, who now helps write the songs

[chillyramune]

I would love to call The Cribs my favorite band but sadly, I only enjoy this album =/

[123Closey]

One of the greatest songs released by the Cribs, Marr only makes them better.

[MicMant]

lol, imagine at 2:45 they both sang "lalalala", it would sound funny xD

[DeBoWed]

i love these guy mainly cause i can't sing and they prove that you dont have to hold a note to be a indie punk hero

[MrMckenzietyrone]

ryan has gone for the butch lesbian look again

[xoxsugarsweetoxo]

@MrMckenzietyrone hahahahahhah I love Ryan but you're sort of right

[MrMckenzietyrone]

because i dont like him :/

[MrMckenzietyrone]

fuck you marr

[imjohnandyouare]

@MrMckenzietyrone hahaha why does everyone say that

[SimmoSavvo]

Apparently... He's an indecisive piece of shit... lloll Xx

[javznsn]

there hella legit

[kevvo26]

Best band around at the moment. I saw them in kingston on thursday night and they were absolute fucking quality.

[jimsibob]

i met them when they came to perth such down to earth normal guys and i love we share the same sky its ace :0)

[youxknowxyouxluvxit]

i fucking love his accent, so skanky and real

[Kid0fThePast]

@youxknowxyouxluvxit exept when he talks its nothing like that..

[youxknowxyouxluvxit]

@Kid0fThePast . . . yes it is

[underpuka]

both they have the same voice

[thewombatsshred]

you gotta love the bass player....

[Adam15684]

they are underrated if anything

[surfangryseas]

the fookin cribs fookin rock. fookers.

[chillyramune]

@surfangryseas Heh, well said. Fook yeah!

[surfangryseas]

@chillyramune fook yea!!!!

[ukandoittowithkandoo]

still can't find the song i heard on the radio, there where alot of bends in there any idea cribs fans? i mean after every word ha nah serious ?

[SamPicone]

one of my favourite songs of theirs of all time, seeing them at oxegen and reading cant wait

[the7thmexican]

Let's not forget Gary he is playing a good bass and providing some vocals at the same time no one can do that except STING.

[joeisaflyingfish]

@the7thmexican erm, Sting is amazing, but he's not the only bassist who sings...

[UchihaMadaara]

@joeisaflyingfish david summers does that too

[TheMrDobbins]

@the7thmexican indeed, sting plays fretless bass and sings! (or he used to anyway)

[xOEHLALA]

Its almost like they dont enjoy playing

[cannywf1]

They are a great bunch of lads, met them the other day at the bar a work at in Leeds called "ESCOBAR"

[danny510x]

@SkinsSkater a bit weird that you know that lol

[themanbearpig]

back when the cribs we're amazing, now they're just shit with Marr>>>>>>DIE MARR DIE DIDE DIE DIE DIE

[SamuelEMPowell131]

I love the cribs and they can make such a great wall of sound with only 3 of them. My band actually just wrote a song that we thought sounded like this one mixed with Jacqueline by franz ferdinand so we called it I'm a Jacqueline. We played it at a battle of the bands and we won first place. I'd love to hear what cribs fans think of it. If your interested in sparing a bit of time just search

An Island's View - I'm a Jacqueline

another song i'm proud of is

An Island's View - Cute

[theroadsmusicvideos]

this band is equal to crap

[bradleymuffins]

He can play quite complex guitar parts whilst singing.

[Renegademaster15]

If you can call that singing :P His vocals clearly suffer live especially during their earlier period, alot better now

[Chadisthecoolest]

ehhh. nothingg compared to the lead quitarist and singer of The Fall of Troy

[Reint25]

@bradleymuffins Yes, that always surprises me. His playing is also very smart. Sometimes he plays really easy parts, yet very catchy.

[Joetp]

@bradleymuffins Not that complex, but yeah it is unique to see someone playing lead guitsr riffs while singing.

[SuperrrDuperrrr]

@bradleymuffins you should listen to muse

[misterangry2009]

@bradleymuffins

True...but he cant sing very well.

[cloverfield23666]

@bradleymuffins totally dawg, hes a regular thomas erak :P

[93cantthinkofaname]

@bradleymuffins admittedly, its not that complex, but it is bloody difficult to sing over while playing it

[drunderpants666]

@bradleymuffins True story....I can't never play Cribs songs and sing them at the same time....

[STeWBaIIZ]

just saw them play in NZ!

[gerardaven]

lucky you bud, they canceled Christchurch waaaaaahh

[rcd1875]

How Does It Work Live Now They've Got Jonny Like On Older Songs, Does He Just Play Chords Over It Or What ?

I Meant To See Them At The Corn Exchange But I Was Sick

[paulmclaughlin2008]

mtv live sessions has cribs live with marr :)

[ashbash986]

Thanks for the tip!

[11samwalker]

you mean the cribs? its not the cribs with marr, johnyy is part of the band!

[mastrokid]

is it weird that they're identical and yet there's a cute one?

[edoestecz]

i'm a realist

i'm a romantic

i'm a livin' sausage

XD

[xOEHLALA]

they are a bunch of fags

the strokes wannabe's

[trendifying]

the strokes are shit compared the cribs mate.

[Goyo90]

Jajajaja.... You are so Fucking stupid..

jajaja.. Really stupid...jajajajaja

[cassablancass]

Nooo!! The Cribs are really good but they're not better than the strokes

[moviewatcher304]

@trendifying couldn't be more wrong mate

[Nikopse6]

@xOEHLALA i love both bands but how are they strokes wannabe's ?

[SamuelEMPowell131]

They can make such a good sound live for only 3 of them. I'm trying to get my band to make a big sound as well for only 3 of us. I'd love to hear what people think.

Just search

An Island's View - A song for the pretty blonde girl in the smoking section

or

An Island's View - You've Got It wrong

[mushybobble]

ur songs suck no offence

[tomizzo11]

One of the guys voices is absolutely terrible live, but recorded it sounds good

[braddersthemod]

this song pretty much sums up my personality! lol

[keyserdurden]

Really good live.

[suildhearg]

i'm a red

[youratoolyabass]

great song to cheer u up.

[89cheapmonday]

mce61, you're talking shit.

[MrFantana85]

fuck off.

[happylikeicecream]

<3 <3 <3 <3

[thumby1212]

when theyre not drunk off their asses and kicking their amps over, they put on a pretty solid live performance

[ncljim88]

agredd, and when they are, its as funny as fuck.

[hello2900]

god jonny marr changed them loads dont really like the new album at all tbh lol

[GypsyDancer01]

Johny Marr made'em grown mature, so they go down on the history as a legendary band!

[brenbren211]

agreed, seems like they have went down a political ideal route rather then singing about people they meet. Cheat on me was perhaps they're last hurah for me before Marr ruined it.

I know they all say he hasnt influenced but the hasn't been such a big difference between they're albums since the 1st and secound, and then it was only melony not lyricaly

[hello2900]

yup you hit the nail on the head there, glad im not the only one who thinks so xD

[thumby1212]

Usually I would agree that adding a new guitarist this late in the band's career would fuck up the sound since the Cribs are nothing like The Smiths or Modest Mouse and theyre the only styles that Johnny plays, but because they brought in Alex Kapranos to produce the album, I think they reigned him in pretty well and the new sound doesnt fall far from where the band was headed before the additions

[hello2900]

i think the sound isnt so energetic any more tho, they were a fun happy band with jump about songs but the new album is the complete opposite, really slow and mellow ya know, kinda like the smiths but the smiths were good :))

[Renegademaster15]

Totally wrong about Marr being able to play only style

[thumby1212]

you can see the transition from the energy of The New Fellas to the mellowness of this album... It's made them sound more like the smiths and modest mouse, and the common denominator is Marr. There's nothing wrong with having a distinctive style, and I think it improved the Cribs alot. I'm sure he CAN play other stuff, but you cant deny his stylistic influence here

[Renegademaster15]

I don't think the new album is what I'd call mellow what so ever, musically it is a world more mature, but stylistically incredibly the same, Johnny Marr is a chameleon player, he blends in with the group and does whats required, you can't say they sound more like The Smiths and Modest Mouse, because The Smiths and Modest Mouse sound nothing like the same, Marrs playing with both groups is totally different

[Dieguinho92]

@Renegademaster15 I completely agree with you but it has to be said that they've adapted a lot to marr's style of guitar playing. It's exxxxtreeeeemely clear on we share the same skies and on his guitar part on cheat on me, (not ryan jarman's part.) I love pre-marr the cribs and i love the cribs with johnny, i saw them live at reading 2010 and was chanting his name the whole time but their style HAS changed, and Marr's guitar playing has influenced them, for the better, i think.

[imjohnandyouare]

@thumby1212 How do they sound like Modest Mouse?? The guitar work, lyrics, tempo is all different. I do agree that they sound alot different with Marr in the band tho.

[thumby1212]

@imjohnandyouare In specifics, you're right. The sound that they've adopted is different but still unique. The overall style that they've gravitated towards has become more like modest mouse though. It now emulates space rock like modest mouse does more than it emulates post punk like early cribs did.

[JACKOJACKO121]

LOVE DA OPANING LINES :D ^^

[rigogurt]

the cribs tomorrow los angeles roxy!!!!

[forcavalencia]

fuck yesss!!

[MarlboroShinobi]

british Pillows.

[beatnerd69]

YES!!! very good comment. totally argee!

[Cabeloe]

the pillows are amazing. and i kinda see what you mean.

[kookskillers]

y cant u see the music video for this anymore ??

[balarama77]

when did marr of the smiths join the group? i heard something about that.

[Letsgo2Tescos]

that hapenned ages ago like 3 months ago

[balarama77]

is with em indefinitely? or just to help produce a new album??

[Letsgo2Tescos]

definatly they said s when i met them in brighton

[ryand111]

i like the fact they are not very popular to the main stream

i feel like i have a better conection with the band

and when a band gets really famous they can turn big headed and their music is affected because of this

[BIuejay]

Yeah, well, you know what? You don't. Grow up.

[marvelrocks]

Saw them Wednesday just gone at Southampton Guildhall. AMAZING.

[mosesman01]

Respect for how well Ryan plays the guitar with this.

[mentalbloc90]

better than neither, still pretty GOOD though
