the maccabees outclass band like muse and the libertines and band like that by far , the're possible the best abnd in the bussinees and so unique in unbelivable
@metroshero111 your true to say that they outclass bands such as libertines which they do, maccabees are very good. but they are still at a very early point in there career to even compare them to muse.
@jimmyguitarman hahaha muse are fucking awful. The libertines were the uk's response to the growing indie scene in the US (the strokes), europe (the hives), etc. a lot of these bands wouldn't be here without them. Listen to radiohead. It's what muse are trying to be.
@Dieguinho92 yeah i know ive been a fan of indie and alternative rock for years. and i know radiohead are legendary compared to muse no doubt, all im saying is, the maccabees are an indie band, whereas muse are an alternative rock band. thats the reason you cant compare them. not because i favor one over the other.
and btw good musicians should learn to appreciate all kinds of music ;)
im a huge indie fan, but ove the years ive played pretty much everything from pop to metal to funk.
**********absolute Spitzenklasse, unverkennbare Voices,die komplette CD von den Maccabees werde ich mir kaufen...many Greetings from Germany***********
This is by far the best performance of this song I have ever heard, soooo much better than the recorded version, the brass instruments ruin it abit I think :/
ahwillluvyoubettuh ahwillluvyoubettuh ahwillluvyoubettuh ahwillluvyoubettuh ahwillluvyoubettuh ahwillluvyoubettuh ahwillluvyoubettuh ahwillluvyoubettuh ahwillluvyoubettuh ahwillluvyoubettuh this is the greatest song released this year so far
np (that was me on my mates account :) lol) The micro pog is bloody expensive! Its got a really good effect though, especially in this song, it really tops it off
yeah thats definatly a micro pog and theres a boss overdrive (prolly sd-1 super overdrive) and some form of digital delay (looks like the gray boss one)
I love the singing melody against such pedestrian guitars - it would be so easy to slip into some drab conventional pish that you hear from Razorshite. Well done lads - great song!!!!
fuck off, i jus wondered y ud hav ear plugs in wen uv gota hear urself sing, plus they look like the earpieces that like news reporters hav, so i was wondering, fucking hell m8
There not ear plugs fella, Dont listen to the other guy. They're in ear monitors so that when he sings he can hear himself directly in his ear rather than trying to listen through a monitor/P.A
Cheers, thas the answer i was lookin 4 lol du u know where i cud get sum from? and any idea of price? I'm guessin ther expensive? lol I'm a singer myself in a band so they wud b helpful lol
There ear plugs...lol im not tryin to start an argument, but there not in ear monitors. he's wearing them because the drums would over power everything if he didnt.
but in ear monitors are pretty pricey...but you can pick up a good pair for around £250
Ye after researchin them it doesnt look like there are, because i cant see a wire anywhere. Ye i also looked at the price, bloody hell i better wait until my band is more successful :) And i apprechiate the polite answer, unlike some arseholes on here
Ye same, even tho my comment back to him wasnt the nicest way to put things :) But he started it :p lol cheers m8, im guessin your in a band yourself?
I dno about anybody else but I just watched the video to this and I actually prefer this live version, certain parts are different, and theres an effect on Orlando's voice in the video, I think i prefer it here, it might be the levels of the instruments?
I agree, this is a better video and sound is a lot better, doenst have the orchestral trumpty string bit at the end, as in the official video it goes over the guitar sound to much! great song though!
And in the studio version, the delay on Orlando's voice after the first "Better" seems a little fast, and slightly too high in pitch?? see what everyone else thinks. Blinding tune though!!!
this band sound even better on MKAT, ILL.
