@vistroor HAHAHA, kid, you have Through The Fire and the Flames in your favorites. You're the faggot here, okay? Go back to watching your stupid ass South Park, and quit wasting the time of those of us who actually have good taste, okay?
@KingTaargusVII i dont think he's calling the song gay...i think he might just be going around from video to video exclaiming his sexuality and love for penis
is there any difference with this vid of them performing live and the one in the studio?? i want to download the better one. and this is the most underater bloc party song btw, had to listen to it for like 10 times before realizing how good it is
Silent Alarm is still the best. but this sounds so good live.. i hated how kele's voice was changed to a whinier sound for the recordings on the 2 newer albums
agree with rockafellaton, i used to absolutely love bloc party, seen them 3 times and silent alarm is still one of my favourite albums. second album was still good but when they released flux and since i havent given them much time. Heard this song when they were live on abbey road and it really hit me. Quality song that has got me back into bloc party
@broarah I hope not, not because they don't deserve it but U2 getting big has done a very terrible thing to their music. I'm not sure how I can describe what they act and sound like now, but it's total shit.
Being faithful to a band doesn't mean believing they'll become big, at all. Like a lot of their new stuff this is NICE but it doesn't capture what Silent Alarm or the strong points of AWITC had.
i know most of bloc partys songs and i was thinking to myself im getting sick of these and i seen that they were on live from abbey road last week so i decided to watch it, to c what songs they played, this was there last song, it was the first time i heard it and it completely blew me away, its my favourite bloc party song now, i luv them and this song has got me bac into bloc party
thanks for your help . but on the website it only says its in black, white and two colour sunburst so does that mean that this tele is somwhat a custom shop job or did he choose to have the blue? and also the bridge is of more a newer style than on the 50's but he probably changed it. apparently the ashtray bridges are really uncomfortable
yes you're right this is probably a custom made guitar considering the blue burst paint on it and the bridge also is slightly different but since russel is a great guitarplayer he must have had the money for it :D
The version of this song that they played at Glastonbury 09 is by far the best. It has a better drum beat. The only thing is the BBC decided to take there videos off Youtube so there incredibly hard to find...
I read in an interview awhile back with Gordon that he felt the songs on Intimacy were over produced and weren't tested live enough. I'm glad they figured it out.
Intimacy will be sure to have great live songs and good studio songs as opposed to the opposite. They should release a live album.
Maybe they don't sound like at the studio songs, but I think this makes them special. They have their own style and the things with the bass and xylophone - amazing!
i think all he did was to turn up the bass on his amp and lower the treble and middle. tt way it has a bass-like sound. i did it once for my band. not sure if it works for you. you can try it tho =)
mate.. His yellow one is fucking sexy. You can suck my balls, he's got stickers on it and everything, like pokemon and stuff. it's just a cooler guitar. I like Kele's tennessee rose. that's a hot guitar. he plays it in Waiting for the 7.18 and This modern love.
bloc party have came through , i think when they made songs like helicopter , hunting for witches , the prayer and banquet was a major kick start for them. they are still a young band so much is coming . this would be one of my favs of their latest album along with mercury , trojan horse , one month off and talons. in my opinion bloc party or kings of leon deserve best band of decade
I chose watching and listening to this rather than masturbating.
