[human0un]

this shitjust wants to be cool..like she is some kind of rebel with a politcal statement..meanwhile she is just selling some bullshit while dancing like a complete idiot

[parasitic15]

At 2:24 and 2:31 when she says "child" she sounds SO much like Bjork, specifically in the song Pluto.

[Choralseptic]

i love the part when she goes "no one here wants to fight me like you do" i can't stop replaying it

[mangazo15]

those legs those legs those legs!! OMG those legs, seriously you guys THOSE LEGS!!!!

[CLASHofTHElonders]

@mangazo15 then i bet you....no wait WE love that dead disco video and well of course the song too but the LEGS first

[PrestigeSeattle]

Whoa I never knew this song had a music video until just now haha. I like it!

[enfuriae1]

Fight fight fight...bye bye baby...

[alisia413]

my favourite song

[datrippledot]

metric is Canadian, other than Bieber Canadians make very good music

[BlueMoonz55]

38 people gave up easy.

[candy69200201]

whoever is comparing Metric to paramore is either DEAF or just plain stupid. Seriously???? Must be children making these silly comparisons.

[wishhunter]

did anyone noticed the timer at 2:35 it sync´d with the video? just sayin

[ultraviolator85]

38 ppl have lose the combat

[alexj0101]

I had this stuck in my head for a long time after playing rock band 3. Good song and the front girl is hot, so that's pretty cool.  Yeah.

[l33tpwnzord]

Paramore's voice is sexier, but Metric has much more interesting songs.

[eatmyorangemarmalade]

@l33tpwnzord dude, who gives a flying fuck. they are both great bands.

[dmmh]

everytime I listen to this I imagine myself on my friggin snowboard on some mountain...aaaaaaaaaaaargh

[thakich]

oh god! i adore her :D

[violetamoschi]

aaaaaaahhh cant stop listening. she kills me when she sings "figh off the lethargy" and "no one here wants to fight me like you do" aaaaaah love it

[twink1017]

[jomamaboi]

i love the symbolism with the puppets

[highlander818]

If you like Metric check out Hannah Georgas song "dancefloor". She's awesome, sounds just like Metric, very upbeat and catchy.

[legogaara]

this has got to be the most stupidest music video

but i cant get over hoe awesome this song is! :)

[patchbeard]

Dancing soldiers!

[scarlettestr]

i love the way she dances<3

[evslarg]

it kinda sounds like "come back baby"

[FireCrackerzzz]

@evslarg the lyrics are "combat baby come back baby"

[evslarg]

@FireCrackerzzz really? dude im good

[taymilll]

@evslarg Sometimes it is! The lyrics are combat baby come back

[MountErrigal]

I love the way this kitten dances

[rep300]

37 people are losers.

[KaptenKanna]

It's like Placebo fused with Cardigans, me like

[SnackPatrol]

@KaptenKanna Never thought of that analogy, nice one.

[TheWrekker]

I'm psyched to see them live in NO this Friday. VOODOO!!!

[FlamingQuilava2]

awesome music vid

[Groove60]

Fuck all you people who are saying shit about it being on Rock Band. Lots of people will be introduced to Metric and how great they are so I don't understand why you are complaining. If you really cared, whether they go mainstream or get some decent playtime shouldn't matter to you, what should matter is that people other than you are enjoying their music.

[GregSep]

@Groove60 no need to be so angry at people for appreciating music... besides, I discovered Metric from Scott Pilgrim

[destiny9blondie]

i think rock band is too cliche for metric not that they dont deserve the recognition! i <3 metric!!!

[Raidr88]

Best Metric song by far. So glad they played this at Lollapalooza. Acoustic version = WIN!

[zipzone]

Screw rockband, but this song deserves more publicity its one of their best songs I think.

[finalfantasy8VIII]

i love metric so much especially Emily haines :P

[nurfbar]

sigh.. the guitar riff is epic

[FunnyCoolMonkey264]

i love this song. it is so epic

[007Lucidity]

YAY! This one is going to be on the new Rock Band!

[udpenguin]

i love claymation and stop frame animation it's hypnotic metric rock

[TuRatoncitaa]

trukiniiiiii copadoo l k mandas genial :D

[guitarkidv1]

just stick some fucking alice in chains on (Y)

[deir712]

can someone explain what paramore got to do with metric beside the fact they both got front girls?

[devourerofbabies]

@deir712 Well, Metric plays innovative, soulful, socially conscious music, and Paramore plays highly polished power ballads. That's kind of similar, right?

[curioustongue]

@devourerofbabies I think of Metric as more like Jack of Jill, she sings with a bitterness and spits the lyrics out rather than singing pop-like self absorbed words.

[devourerofbabies]

@curioustongue I don't quite agree. I think Emily sings rather than spits. She's quite an accomplished vocalist IMO.

[themaester5]

@curioustongue i agree good sir

[FireCrackerzzz]

@deir712 they both had songs in twilight, other than that nothing, metric > paramore

[deir712]

@FireCrackerzzz Really? I did not know that?

[FireCrackerzzz]

@deir712 yeah one of metric's songs was in ecplise i think i dont know the name of it because i never really liked that one song.

[Person22000]

@FireCrackerzzz you mean like noone actually liked the movie? lol

[FireCrackerzzz]

@Person22000 i've never seen a twilight movie and i plan to keep it that way

[Person22000]

@FireCrackerzzz my point exactly. No one likes them.

[FireCrackerzzz]

@Person22000 hahaha true, how could someone write four boks about nothing??

[peopleguy12]

@deir712

wth shes not just a front girl shes a good singer

[deir712]

@peopleguy12 please re-read the question and answer again :p I'm not debating her ability to sing. I'm asking why metric is compared to paramore where it's obvious those two bands are like comparing apples and pears (is a dutch saying :-D )

[MetamarioMX]

@deir712 they did songs for the Twilight Saga...

[JamesJaceable]

@MetamarioMX So did Muse, All Band's have to make more money to make more songs, and atleast they dident steal off old lady's to do it.

[bigpimpdaddy69]

@deir712 theyre both hot

[romoluvr208]

@deir712

They're both super amazing.

[LiamBamBam]

@deir712 Metric is actually good and original so they've got nothing in similarity par female vocals. It's like comparing Britney Spears to Nightwish

[1tessarain]

@deir712 Probably just because their both on the twilight saga soundtrack. I don't dislike twilight but I don't like it when people clump the artists. Besides I like both bands equally their awesome:)

[femalerobotchicken]

@deir712 they're both totaly the CHIZ.....*what is 'chiz anyways?* xP

[XwashburnbassplayerX]

@deir712 they both did songs for a soundtrack to Twilight (i dont like the movies but i have a friend who follows them religiously.)

[alessandrosgirl]

Paramore sucks. Such an overrated, shitty band. Hayley Williams is one of the worst singers ever. Emily Haines has a much better voice. She's a lot prettier than Hayley. Better musician too.

[psycho826]

@paramore367 he just said it :/

[paramore367]

@psycho826 Haha sorry i didnt catch that :/

[psycho826]

@paramore367 lol ok :/

[paramore367]

@alessandrosgirl I like paramore and metric. Metric does have a way diffrent sound then paramore, but i like some of her songs

[paramore367]

Metric is awesome. I like there old and new songs not one of my top fav bands thou, Still love it.

[DurrennV2]

I never seem to get tired of Metric, ever.

[Kirthey]

I never get tired of this song. o.o Ever.

[sarnsberger]

Lovelovelove

[UbermenschTheory]

hahahaha! theyre reporting for Stars and Stripes! xp

[ericksonmpe]

Metric> Yeah yeah yeahs

[BanditNoBody]

Ohhhhhhh!

That's what we get with the army budget!

[xyxTuT]

this song will be in the upcoming rock band 3 :)

[malice1337]

@xyxTuT thats a band thing indie bands should stay off rockband.....

[iannewman79]

@malice1337 that's such a stupid fucking hipster thing to say. any exposure for a band is good and this song is fun as hell to play on rock band. go back to pitchfork with your ironic mustache, skinny jeans and trucker hat. WHEN OTHER PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT MUSIC I KNOW IT MAKES IT LESS COOL :( :( :( . lol. faggot.

[Jmonstra]

@iannewman79

Hooray for hating on hipsters!

[blackhollywooddeath]

I fucking love her voice

[coolkid97100]

Does anyone else think this song is about the disappearance of rock and roll/ punk? I I didn't think that at first but then there are lines like "paint it black," and "all time low" and "seventies child."

[macdog3392]

@coolkid97100 Yeah I picked up on that too, those lines really stuck out to me

[ZombieFreakxX]

@coolkid97100 : Definitely, especially when you retain the "mild seventies child". That was when punk/rock'n'roll had disappeared, really. The Mild 70s.

[crwatkins1]

@ZombieFreakxX ??

Punk rock didn't emerge as a genre till the mid-70s. The Ramones didn't even form till 1974 and they are often cited as the first punk band.

[MissMusicXD]

ouffff i hope they play this one at bluesfest in a couple of days!

[Jynxedgrl]

Love ALL of metrics music. It's the best!

[BallisticJunkfood]

This song is so awesome.  It's my current obsession. I can't wait to play it in RB3! =D

[Icarus19911991]

Waste of RB3's track space...

[aflyingturd]

@Icarus19911991 You're a waste of this planet's space. You CLEARLY wouldnt know good music if it were to shoot you right up your fat asshole.

[Icarus19911991]

@aflyingturd I know good music. Metric isn't.

[aflyingturd]

@Icarus19911991 You're probably happy for some of the shittiest stuff coming out in Rock Band 3. haha.

[Icarus19911991]

@aflyingturd if Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Chicago, Stone Temple Pilots, Queen, The Doors, and Jimi Hendrix are 'the shittiest stuff', then yes, that's what I'm excited about.

If you're referring to the real shitty stuff (basically everything in the 2000's category), then no, I was pretty universally disappointed in all of those.

[aflyingturd]

@Icarus19911991 Actually, it's funny you say that, because I hate almost all of the 2000's stuff myself. I thought that you would like the bad 2000's music.

[DoubleYOUTeeEmm]

@Icarus19911991 Metric definately is good music, you're just lame. Jump off a cliff.

[Icarus19911991]

@DoubleYOUTeeEmm It's a shame that people these days are so brainwashed they can't tell bad music when they hear it. But I can use that to my advantage. I'll start with a generic drum beat, at a basic guitar and bass line, and then sing the same line over and over and it will be a hit.

[o0ODigiDudeO0o]

@Icarus19911991 So what's your narrow-minded interpretation of good music? And If you don't say something along the lines of Tom Waits, I'd say you're highly incorrect.

No, I wouldn't. Music is music, it has no right or wrong answer; go find your own liking.

[Icarus19911991]

@o0ODigiDudeO0o I appreciate someone finally letting me have my opinion. Although after the first thing I said I was just going out of my way to irritate you guys, Metric isn't particularly bad just not my taste.

[marissasinanan84]

@Icarus19911991 Yet you're commenting on a METRIC link???? wow you're officially a LOSER!

[Icarus19911991]

@marissasinanan84 Definition of Loser:

Anyone who uses 'loser' as an insult on the internet.

A song by Beck that is significantly better than Combat Baby by Metric.

[marissasinanan84]

@Icarus19911991 That's your comeback???? Geeeez make sense with your life man plz! you're uploading a band that u hate why? just to put your negativity into it and you don't think that classifies you as a loser??....seems u got alot of time on your hands dude...TRY SOME SLEEEEP!

[marissasinanan84]

@Icarus19911991 @Icarus19911991 That's your comeback???? Geeeez make sense with your life man plz! you're uploading a band that u hate why? just to put your negativity into it and you don't think that classifies you as a loser??....seems u got alot of time on your hands dude...TRY SOME SLEEEEP!

[Icarus19911991]

@marissasinanan84 I have no idea what you just said. But I don't even hate this song particularly, I'm just giving you hell :)

[paramore367]

@Icarus19911991 I dont agree w/ u on that , Metric is a pretty awesome band from what i haerd from u like the old school bands, y dont u watch some of those on utube instead of wasting ur breath, the comments are soppused to b postive ones we dont need to hear ur negtive ones.

[Icarus19911991]

@paramore367 I must admit, this is growing on me. I don't love it, but I don't hate it anymore either.

[paramore367]

@Icarus19911991 Ya.. it seems to do that doesnt it?

[flj333]

@Icarus19911991 i like beck but it definitely isn't in the same class as metric, its more moody, so all in all i would rather chill with the the metric lol...

[thatCanadiangrrrl]

Combat Baby on rock Star 3 ....release date Fall 2010!!!

'More' CDN and 'real' music in general needs to be on more of these fun games!!

[rockbandrocker122]

@DranCity Seriously, she does NOT know how to sing... 1:18 - 1:27 = Painful.

[brainiacbelle]

@mddw666 You know NOTHING about music.

[mddw666]

@brainiacbelle Look, I like the lyrics, the beat, and everything else (Except the creepy puppets) I just don't like the way she sings. She's also fuckin' hot.

[brainiacbelle]

@mddw666 Each to their own. You're wrong, though :)

[Sirrus1000]

@mddw666 Get a life great tune

[DASCoonJT]
