[lysander1]

[aleksandarWH7]

who is guitarist on the left side that is just standing ?

[djsqueeze007]

are primal scream nazi ?

dont get this song, but love the sound fuckin amazin?

[crelp74]

@djsqueeze007 no they aren't nazi at all

[wrecktem]

@djsqueeze007

No, this song is anti-Nazi.

[katoness]

@djsqueeze007 are u fucking naive or what pal? Do u think they would be playing to thousands of people if they were nazis or even playing at Glastonbury?

[jaseins]

@djsqueeze007 the vast majority of rock/pop musicians are liberal or at least hard to pin down politically. it's kind of requisite to do what they do. the exceptions stand out. it's often literal in the words. he's calling whomever swastika eyes is "parasitic your syphilitic". it's an accurate insult.

[djsqueeze007]

are primal scream nazi ?

dont get this song, but love the sound fuckin amazin?

[fede018]

who are this Kasabian wannabe?

[crelp74]

@fede018 hahhahahahaah

you should reverse the question to that crap act kasabian if you're serious

[sirjp1]

@fede018 haha genius i think some more music knowledge is needed sunshine. then you will realize who copied who

[fede018]

@sirjp1 hahah i was just trolling, duh! i guess i succeeded

[jamesypoo1980]

@fede018 you very very silly, theses guys are out almost 20 years before Kasabian.

[MaaaarrJ]

@fede018 fuck off you nobody cunt,HAIL HITLER LOLOLOLOL

[kitschtaco]

@fede018

Agreeing with crelp on this one. Primal Scream's been around since before you were born.

[astricii]

@fede018

Uhhhhhh there would be no Kasabian if there were no Stone Roses and Primal Scream... That's like Seeing B.B. King and saying "Why does this guy want to sound like the White Stripes?" Music existed before you were born.

[MrRenealexis]

Awesome!

[Donkeyhawk]

I watched The Football Factory and if weren't for my recent interest in soccer(football) English hooliganism, and movies concerning the subjuect, I would have never known about this band. Very good tunes.

[669basher9rc]

[Kekke466]

@captaincaspian Roland SH-101

[captaincaspian]

@Kekke466 hero x

[stutaggart]

This was my sound track to the "Royal Wedding"....You wouldn't belive how well it worked. Try it for yerself!!!!!!!

[Korpiekev]

Great track, but the crowd gave em bollocks and kept callin for basement jacks who were next gig. So he told em to go get Fu..ed and stormed off stage.... Brilliant

[MrScottwetherill]

@Korpiekev You're talking about glasto 2005 mate, this is their triumphant headline set on the other stage in 2003! No storming off on this one i'm afraid!

[lavyheed]

@Korpiekev they had to be dragged off stage m8....well bob g did lol, he did go off....but came back on with his jacket off, ready to keep playing, ive seen mani talk about it and watched it on tv, magic lol

[MAJORSNODGRASS]

terrific drumming

[COOLJERK1963]

Superb! XTRMNTR!

[micklejuice13]

I don't really think I have fully realised how good Primal Scream are, until now

[vusgy]

coolest song ever 

[IDrinkYourMilkshake8]

My favourite album since the turn of the century. And fucking Coldplay won the mercury award. not that awards mean fuck all, like.... but still.

[chump5874]

Outstanding. Bring on 18/3 glasgow!!!!

[YUUU226]

great!!!! I REALLY LIKE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!

[therust100]

Cool!!!

[dermeisterrific]

MANI IS ON FIIIIIIIIRRRRREEEEE

[deadmau5suckz]

201 are fake

[chiqistar]

FULL ON!!- Great track! The fact that I can't understand a word he's saying doesn't really matter...

[MaoKlimt]

-

perfect!

[AlabasterDog]

FUCKING STELLAR!!!! I wish I could give this more stars... Seriously

[TheYoungfuzz]

this is mustard

[TheYoungfuzz]

mustard!

[hxcgrunger666]

@tanifanibani Damn straight. To have the balls to pull off playing that rhythm with a click live is truly something. One decent mistake and you're screwed.

[SAMUELJOHNST0NE]

what primal scream cd was this on

[hektorpike]

@SAMUELJOHNST0NE exterminator....best album by a mile. pure vitriol, covers lots of different styles of underground sounds.

@ the moaners... yeh, theyre copyists, so is bowie. negativland have made a career outta it and they are still cool as fuck. so what, they fuckin rock man. plain and simple.

[STFCstoneroses]

THIS IS THE BOLLOCKS!!

[Lyaka999]

Yes !!!

[leedsunitedj]

Is that the bass that sounds like the siren?

[TheRippingCorpse]

This is great!

[nylecrane2k7]

When the views are 88,014 that'll be quite ironic. 88 & 14 are the neo nazi's favourite numbers.

[saraj12]

the drumming and vibe of this. Does anyone think that yeah yeah yeahs record about skeletons sounds similar? do you think they've been influenced by the scream?

[TigerBreadProduction]

That is one killer bassline from Mani, phwoarrrrrr !!!

[nylecrane2k7]

Does Swastika Eyes mean anything?

[madeddi]

@nylecrane2k7 its about the usa and neoconservatives

[CocoonSoon]

@madeddi Not really actually, more in response to Clinton and Blairs war escapades according to interviews with Bobby at the time. He hates all warmongers, neocons, democrats, labour or tory. He saw evil in their eyes hence swastika eyes.

[inspiralroses]

The Swastika is none of a genuine Nazi Symbol, ye hell of cunts!!! Ye'd better think before ye say what ye think ye mean!!

[Erey15]

aaaaahhh is that kevin shields :)

[andreakins]

que faes oh

[Kookoooo1]

She got Swatsika eyes

[timbogert33]

hello, is someone knowing the model of the RICKENBACKER bass of the bassist ? Thanks.

[buduiza]

this is good stuff.despite what hes done before.Velocity princess!!!!

[TheCannonFist]

Shittest band in the world ever, for so many reasons. Gillespie is a true phoney. Gotta be the least talented front-man ever. No voice, no look, no charisma, awful lyrics. -I wish him happiness. And when i say 'happiness' - i do of course, mean 'death.'

[crelp74]

congratulations dude, you're one hell of a cunt!!!!

[niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

i have to agree that gillespie is a complete ass, but the band is great

[STFCstoneroses]

@TheCannonFist no charisma? you clueless cunt!

[thelatedavidsmith]

@TheCannonFist

what a fucking moron

[geoffmaguire]

@TheCannonFist I'm embarassed for you!

[auxcontent]

provocation

[MCNOISE666]

@TheCannonFist

Spaz!

[oscarcanterbury]

@TheCannonFist If Justin Bieber is your idol then you're on the wrong site.

[macdawg22]

@TheCannonFist

and how many times have you played at Glastonbury?....

[ramiroortega1991]

What Radiohead should've been in the 2000's. Primal Scream is incendiary.

[DocWithers]

An utterly shameless vocal ripoff of Mark E. Smith (The Fall).

[Eightball69]

Off my bonce next to the mixing desk. This was Friday night....kinda made the rest of the festival pointless after the Scream ;)

[gazpercy]

best live show ever!

[talktal]

the best show i ever went to was primal scream back in 2002. blew me away

[TheLexyboy]

Ive got to say the best gig i was ever at was Primal Scream @the Barrowlands with The Jesus and Mary Chain as support. I swear my ears havnt healed yet!

[MegaThornhill]

YEAH!

[madeddi]

a tight rendition of this song by the scream.

5 stars

[Masbirreo]

Yup, start a revolution...

Just make sure you don't lose your fucking ipod.

[callicolady]

can imagine this on my ipod real fuckin loud as i storm into the houses of parliament armed to the teeth - starting the fuckin revolution :)

[docterlovejoy]

captain mani is powering the fuckin battleship the scream team and they will shite on any of they pussys about the day!

[suwymoon09]

I love this

[elmartox]

coco melter

[Alexa1825]

i love primal scream :)

[ambaiste]

legends - can't wait to see them tonight

[armandokg1]

fucken powerful!!!

[kkndevlin]

Los vi en Santander Summer Festival, la caña, lo único que No terminó el concierto por una rallada del cantante xDD

[Elcapitanfanegas]

Yo los ví en el Natural Festival en Guardias Viejas (Almería) y me quedé con la boca abierta. Cuando sonó este tema creí volverme loco.

[drxmxm]

Detesto cuando hacen eso, qué se creen que son?

[Elcapitanfanegas]

I love this song. ¡Temazooooooooo!

[kkndevlin]

Ya ves... TEMAZOOO!!

[weecoby3]

When all is said and done ...this is nothing more than a thumping, mindless, sonic fuckout! Fuckin' love it!!!!

[faustolallana]

Good!! Show better than Glastonbury 2005...Primal come back to Buenos Aires!! Argentina!!!

[thomasonson]

Swastika Eyes by Primal Scream is according to the public Czech broadcasting council a fashist propaganda. They paid for a fucked up translation and decided to abolish this alternative station (simmilar to BBC 6 radio) . The programme director must be even communist or mentally ill... Quote: "This minority group of listeners (he ment listeners of Radio Wave - one and only alternative public broadcasting station) ain't in my opinion future of this nation". What else do I have to say...

[crelp74]

yeah, sick story.. what can we say.. cunts?

[kaiboy83]

Nice to see someone who knows what there talking about. Primal Scream are fucking brilliant...

[arnoklephoque]

@thomasonson Hey I'm communist and I like Primal Scream. That programme director is just fucking stupid.

[arnoklephoque]

@thomasonson Hey I'm communist and I love Primal Scream. That programme director is just fucking stupid.

[spikearchie]

nice one..!

[liamjwolves]

is it possible to get this on mp3?

[madeddi]

Buy the CD like everyone else who likes it did.

an mp3 contains approx 25% of the "sound" that a CD has.

WHY would you want an mp3?

[gscapuzzi]

cause is so fuc.king free

[RaveSensation]

LOL that is the biggest lie I've eve heard.

They are exactly the same, failure.

[VacuumBoots81]

It's true, MP3s are more compressed than files on a Red Book CD and therefore of lower quality. Thats why people obsessed with quality go for CDs or FLAC files or something even less compressed. Search "Lossy Compression."

[liamjwolves]

haha everyone else? come on.

nah i meant mp3 of this live version, i like it a bit better than the studio version.

[crelp74]

buy the 'live in japan' mate, mindblowing

[lambretta186]

buy the vinyl and turn that up....

[spacemanthe2nd]

I was there come on !

[yukitcy]

god!!!!

[liamjwolves]

they look shit hot live!

[cutemloosebruce09]

they are shit hot live!

[kinrive0fearn]

oh aye, amazing.............amazing

[865hjffj34]

oh i thought this had something to do with the hindu swastika

[sonicjay007]

kick out the jamms!!!!

[RhysAneurin]

Seeing them tonight down here in Cardiff, can't wait! Especially hearing this one

x

[paulshortss]

nice one.....if you can remember ( the set list) can you post it on here please ? I'm going to see them in london next friday woulnt mind knowing what they are playing. hope you had a nice time anyway.

[RhysAneurin]

Yeah sure cool. Its funny you said this, because I was lucky enough to grab one of the setlists. Chuffed!

Kill All Hippies, Dolls, Miss Lucifer, Suicide Sally,, Jailbird, Beautiful Future, Uptown, Deep Hit, Exterminator, Suiside Bomb, Sick City, Shoot Speed/Kill Light, Swastika Eyes, Movin on Up, Rocks.....then Higher Than The Sun, Necro Hex/Josh Homme, Country Girl, Accelerator.

It was amazing!!!

x

[theworldlooksred]

I saw them live in 2006 and I'm seeing them in Newcastle next month. If they play "Higher than the Sun" that would be a life defining experience! Exterminator as well? Wow the setlists have certainly improved since Riot City Blues.

[theworldlooksred]

Surely they played Can't Go Back though?!

[paulshortss]

sounds like you hada a good time. Suprised they didnt play " cant go back" and would have thought they would have started with that. Did they use backing singers. Ive seen them before with and without. Much better when they use them i reckon, nice one anyway thanks for posting the setlist.

[rathcooligan2006]

isent "cant go back" not a recent song?

[GallagherWellerBrown]

This is Swastika Eyes...

[derek1456789]

didn t use backing singers in prague,had a few beers with the band after and they said they wanted to play smaller venues with just the band for now!!!!was still amazing show

[derek1456789]

seen them in prague recently in a very small dirty venue,perfect dirty band dirty people blooby amazing!!!!what mani can do on a guitar amazing!!!!!!

[paulshortss]

Get him in Number 10 .

[paulshortss]

i am seeing them soon, would be interested to know if on this tour.............are they using backing singers for some of the songs ie Jailbird , moving on up. Always sounds much bette when they do and a bit of a disapointment when they dont.

[lifeonloop]

Kevin Shields is on guitar mate.Mani`s on bass. Both mint tho.

[Bionic253]

This song is great. I saw them 2 weeks ago and they were fucking incredible! And this song performed live really blows the back of your fuckin' head off! xD

[weecoby3]

Told you! When they'd finished this number at T in the Park this year, all you could see was folk searchin' around on the ground for the backs of their heads. I,rather foolishly, picked up the wrong one and spent the rest of the evening with a rather fetching blond ponytail. True story.

[paulshortss]

where did you see them ? I'll be seeing them soon at the Hamersmith Apollo.

[Bionic253]

I saw them in Poland at Pepsi Vena Music Festival :)

[paulshortss]

nice...you live there and polish ? or go over especially ? did not know they were popular in poland. can you remember some of the set list they played as likely it will be the same when i see them in three weeks

[Bionic253]

I'm Polish and I live in Poland :p The aren't very popural here, a lot of people came there only for Klaxons and left after their show :/ A day before Pepsi Bobby was walking down the street and no one recognized him...They played:CANT GO BACK, DOLLS, MISS LUCIFER, SUICIDE SALLY, jAILBIRD, BEAUTIFUL FEATURE, DEEP HIT, BEAUTIFUL SUMMER, SUICIDE BOMB, SICK CITY, SHOOT SPEED, SWASTICA EYES, MOVIN ON UP, ROCKS encore UPTOWN, COUNTRY GIRL, ACCELERATOR

[paulshortss]

I hope they play that set list in london in three weeks. Shame people left after Klaxons, they are much better.

[weecoby3]

You really HAVE to see Bobby and the boys perform this live ....they crank it up to a ridiculous level of noise that just blows the back of your fuckin' head off!

[ajf68]

Teenage Fanclub along with Primal Scream are two bands who never got the recognition they deserved. Probably London bias

[rael1999]

The London Rags have controlled the music scene for 50 years...but they'll never stop class coming through...the most original bands have all come from other City's...and before you Cockney's start banging on about The Pistols...They where just raw Rock and Roll

[celticninjadruid]

i can't beleive i was there that yeah and missed this what the ^&*%?

[RhysAneurin]

Amazing song

x

[docterlovejoy]

on yerself mani ma son that bass line is fuckin evil commander mani fuckin rejuvenated the scream long live the best bass player this countrys produced

[technique275]

"My minds a weapon immune from infection, blood in my eyes my vision is clear"

[HeadPark]

I was there with ma girlfriend on ma shoulders. Totally stunnin set. Still talk about it today. No one rocks like the Scream!

[thewotsit]

these cunts just blow every other modern band away and yet never seem to recieve the same adoration from the moron media. but fuck em, and fuck all the whiney nobs on here.

[MrEubank]

Excellent words my words my friend.

[montana184]

fuckin right mate

[borimirtheboring]

The media adores mediocrity.

[kkndevlin]

temazooo

[Verve20]

I only heard this tune a few weeks back and I can't believe where my ears have been. This it mindblowing

[XMD5a8000]

I see your

Autosuggestion psychology

Elimination policy

A military industrial

Illusion of democracy!

---

Awesome!

[mathieuplasse1]

On records, british artists are awesome. They are lousy live. This video is a great example: The singer just walks around, doesn't give a fuck and sings like he's feeling sleepy. This song should start a riot everytime they play it, but the singer is just too dull.

[chockafromtheblock]

'the singer just walks around'? are you watching a different video?

[sarcassdick]

Mate, I dont want to be rude, but I think your living on a different planet, either that or you're American.

But one thing I know is you know fuck all about music

[swans1997]

The singer just walks around, doesn't give a fuck and sings like he's feeling sleepy

Perfect rock and roll performance I think. He doesn't give a fuck. Exactly what rock and roll is all about. Fuck that choreographed or trained chimp shit. That crap is for fucking wastes of space like MCDONNA and her crap ilk.

[curzonator]

shutup m8, dont judge britain by one band, listen to others like pidgeon detectives hes a fantastic frontman, and kasabian and kaisercheifs

[mr1866]

PIGEON detectives are just one of the million generic modern rock/pop combos around, kaiser cheifs are maybe the most overated band of the last 5 years, and though kasabian are great, they can't beat the scream. i've worked with all 4 of them, and you have no idea what real music is

[VacuumBoots81]

who's to say how a front man should move? he wrote the song, he should be aloud to do whatever he damn well please. and sonically this sounds wonderful. so how bout we focus on what's important, the music, and forget about what's not, the movement of the lead singer (which doesn't have anything to do with the album version even)

[mrcat1990]

surley a certain kevin shields co wrote this

[PegGonzalez]

Are we watching the game fuckin' video here?

Retard

[telleebabe]

The singer walks around and doesn't give a fuck you reckon?? Dull?? No-one is more passionate about music than Bobby Gillespie. And he's unique. Yeah if you're into face-pulling dancing six-packs, look elsewhere.

[weecoby3]

The Scream, in a tent, at T in the fuckin' Park 2008 .....YEEEEESSSSS!

[BigStevie1974]

fOOKIN AWESOME VERSION.

[BIGBENFIJI]

I was there. Bobby G threw his mic stand at the cameraman ...5 times

[karlledwith]

aye hope ramones im obsessed wif ms lucifier.hopefully der playing oxegen.t in the park is looking the exact same so far.

[ramones1971]

fuckin' awesome! can't wait to see them at t in the park.hopefully their new stuff will be more like exterminator/evil heat.

[lonelygunman]

rock!
