Arcade Fire - Neon Bible live in an elevator!

[DJAilment]

It would have more suiting if the guy in the back was ripping a bible

[dmora015]

thats a big elevator

[andrew9454]

Thats awsome

[TheApolloXI]

This is a scene from their DVD Miroir Noir.

[taitejordan]

What is the guy to the left doing?????

[ace456]

@taitejordan i think he's playing a kalimba-type thing; the one that sounds like bells.

[philipsmog]

Who are these Clown College drop outs?

[aVeryIntelligentDog]

@philipsmog The best musicians of their generation.

[sharethegui1t]

Having a little problem ripping paper...

Wonderful, absolutely love it.

[hiver1012]

Grammyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[jorgetiz99]

q porkeria de imagen tienen XS!!

[MsDIMENO]

@jorgetiz99 que porqueria de ortografia tienes.

[millo24]

only they can make than magazine sound good

[enjoiskating88]

my names alex boyee, and im a mormon

[taitejordan]

@enjoiskating88 which is supposed to mean?

[warmaker911]

pure magic

[lukejw1995]

Can I get a ride with AF next time?

[onkedonke]

needs more cowbell

[milliebbit]

for the ones who wonder where they came from.....they have been here for the last then years

[nayplio19]

i love randomness..

they received a Grammy just after they finished their 6min performance..

and then they sang again..

really is there a better promo technic???

fuck them..

[Rysebno]

@nayplio19

& whats the problem with that? This is a group that's been seeking recognition for a long time, and they finally got what they deserved, a grammy, let alone being nominated to the awards. They've been playing since 2000, and i bet nobody knew who they were till 2 days ago, so that's why they played again, cause they feel appreciated. They love music, and love to entertain, but then there are people like you who can't just applaud and say congratulations.

[Rysebno]

@Rysebno

if you're going to bash about marketing strategies then bash on "never say never"

[CrStrifey]

fucking indi fucking right on

[maeg223]

This video (and this band) have been around a long time but look how many hits since the Grammys. I'm excited because now all my friends will know who I'm talking about but I'm also sad for the same reason.

So glad an actual band with real instruments finally won a music award.

[DigestedChild]

EPIC!

[LastSmoke1]

so happy to see they have won this long deserved award...congrats!!!!!!!!

[monctonvintageads]

love the fact that idiots will never appreciate this group and their music...shows that the mainstream media is doing a great job..continue on sheeples!

[perfectcard]

1:30 the struggle to find a good ripping page

[masihalex]

I didn't skip the old spice advertisement...it was too awesome

[scrambyeggs1000]

mmk, yep... they are talented... but this is just stupid

[IAMtheGNAAAAR]

@Zay0n Its these amazing people.. 

[ArchaicParamour]

It is a disgusting thought when the soulless, Justin Bieber, wins a Grammy. The generic crap that this kid is singing to me about versus real issues and problems our society and others struggles with, against, and/or for. I know I sound completely biased because I do love Arcade Fire, but seriously, what makes one think? A song such as this one, what metaphors and euphonious rhythmic tones collide, makes one like this song? Relationships? with oneself? identity? God? We learn from so few.

[Lin3freak]

@ArchaicParamour

...he didn't win a grammy lol

[Adam4tvs]

That was cool.

[CODENAMEVIDEOS]

The fucking song is called neon bible. rip a bible !

[beachkrazd]

Any band that includes a bass clarinet gets my vote! I also love the magazine shredding effect. Awesome. This is only the 2nd time I've heard this group, and I am intrigued...

[ThePoliphilo]

this band has been critically acclaimed for years. im proud to say that i saw them for the first time in 2004, with my ticket being priced at 10 dollars. always knew they would continue making magic.

new fans (thanks to the grammys), you guys have no idea what you've been missing lol. but welcome!

[moderjoker]

@ThePoliphilo thanks to the *motherfucking* grammys

[MikeyFlorida]

the imaginary friend of the Bible is a petty, vindictive one

[badgernation74]

So happy for them. 'Bout time! Funeral had more high points as an album, and this song is better than anything on Suburbs, but Suburbs is their strongest album start to finish. Can't believe they won. I almost hope the fix was in, cuz they got it right for a fuckin change

[Dinoxaurs]

I love those cymbals.

[coldfusion1111]

Talking Heads + Devo + Mandolin + Violin = Arcade Fire

[coldfusion1111]

Talking Heads + Devo + Mandolin = Arcade Fire

[MaGiCxSNiPeR]

If u came here cuz the grammy Thumbs up :)

[OrangeySnicket]

The only thing that was bad about their Grammy performance was that they didn't play the magazine.

[Pillsline34]

YES!!! WELL DESERVED GRAMMY> F&$" gaga and her minions, finally eletronic pop shit doesn't take the gold!

[thecomfortisnow]

frikken deserved that grammy.

[mavuso45]

eminem was robbed

[AliceAreR]

The Best Band nowadays (Period)

[jouetdudestin]

arte saved my life. they introduced me to arcade fire. so glad I watched the right channel at the right time.

[ducksandmentos]

that would have sucked if the elevator just broke

[ducksandmentos]

that would have sucksed if the elevator just broke

[ArchaicParamour]

I guess it would stir up too much controversy to be ripping pages out of the bible.

[bernlin2000]

@ArchaicParamour Oh well, just pretend it is, just like people pretend Jesus is

[prophetbyronmotley]

@ArchaicParamour It may have COST them the Grammy if it was a Bible they desecrated as well as ANGERING Christian music fans such as myself who WANT to like this band, and is sick of Justin Bieber and the like receiving all of the attention. Just remember atheist music lovers, you have something common with Christian music lovers! We need to unite and promote REAL music, unless you LIKE Justin Bieber videos receiving 500 MILLION views, while bands like Arcade Fire are IGNORED! Peace!

[lovesthebritsong]

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

[xmicHELLex1818]

the violins are beautiful in this song.

[taniajui]

aa searching for a guy that will make me go wild

[oCoSowolf]

all of there songs sound so much better live

[FAMA22010]

[mysteryskater48]

@willaspencer12 10 people, an acoustic guitar, a baritone, a bass clarinet, 2 violins, a miniature bell xylophone, a magazine of your choice, and a camera.

[SkyleenBottani]

Amazing!

[Ohheyace]

Fuck yes, I can't wait to see them at Coachella Fest.

[xyxstradus]

Quick! Someone get him another magazine!

[swkjfhskdjfhsdkjfh12]

OF COURSE ITS GOING TO SOUND A LITTLE BAD!!! THEY'RE IN A FREAKING ELEVATOR! Learn not to expect so much from people...

[Standonarock]

Perfect setting in an elevator because this is the weakest, lamest, garbage I've ever heard in my life and I've heard Britney Spears.

[mariehoch]

wow.

[saschaleib]

Now, *that* is the kind of "elevator music" I love to hear. Do you hear this, Muzak producers?

[staxberg]

this is stolen from la blogotheque, please report him!

[Johnius]

@staxberg He credits and provides a link to la blogotheque in the information...

[theDarkNess2400]

wow! these guys are something else! no wonder why i like them so much! only Arcade Fire would do some crazy shit like this hahaha. I love them so much

[uncachable]

If only every elevator in the world had a band like this.

[jouetdudestin]

I watched this 30 times in 2 days or something.

[Majsimir]

OMG !!! :D

[scarsonbroadwaytheys]

Amazing! Ruis band is fantastic!

[TheBiz182]

Why couldn't the elevators in Mass Effect have been like this?

[TheBiz182]

Why couldn't the elevators in Mass Effect have been like this?

[TheBiz182]

[PersistenceMusic]

[jouetdudestin]

I have the strong wish to give mr butler a very tight hug.

[Belphegorrrr]

[mundane1]

But now someone has to clean up that magazine mess...

[MentalTeleprosy]

how did all these people pull this off?

[PancakeSpartan]

117 people listen to shitty music whatsoever. Like Ke$ha

[Coxailkopf]

117 people think it´s a Justin Bieber magazin

[DEmmanuela]

please DON'T open the door! keep playing! :)))

[molitormusic]

this is genius ! I'm Molitor, and this year I will be writing one song every week for all of 2011. I will upload all the songs to my youtube account and I will record proffesional versions of them as well. Please subscribe to my channel and listen to my music in 2011 !

[W3R3W00F]

So THAT'S what the National Enquirer is good for! :D

[MsFloopdedoop]

[banans21]

I definately wouldn't mind being crammed in this elevator going up an endless 50 stories :)

[thecupcakeprincess]

Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow

MIND. BLOWN.

[professionalassasin]

@sparkytrick yeah, their debut album is still the best.

[beanz0x]

@professionalassasin agreeeeeeeeeed !

[MaakaTsuki]

Best elevator music.

EVER. period.

[87TheCon]

There are no words for how much i totally admire this band. They are geniuses.

[tanker245]

God, I love Arcade Fire so damn much. Like if you agree!

[deadpoolcloud]

116 people were waiting waiting on the elavator in the lobby.

[vrolok4768]

"Cozy" music uh

[clubmix666]

Art fags.

[beanz0x]

@clubmix666 love 'em

[clubmix666]

@beanz0x Me too but I despise the new album. Neon Bible was tops!

[beanz0x]

@clubmix666 i still think Funeral was the best.

[sparkytrick]

@beanz0x I really like Funeral the mos, but Neon Bible felt weaker to me.

[sparkytrick]

@beanz0x I really like Funeral the most, but Neon Bible felt weaker to me.

[PersistenceMusic]

i never noticed that he runs of pages to rip for a couple of meausres jajajj

[jouetdudestin]

@PersistenceMusic imagine what a stress situation for him ^^ I think he did a good job

[12Ang122]

I remember Fang's Blog brought me to this. :D

[fretbuzz520y]

It's sad that none of them were smiling :(

[tsbrownel]

How on earth did they fit all of Arcade Fire into a single elevator?

[AthenaGM]

@tsbrownel I will dieeeeeeeeeee.... wtf??? did you hear at the end when he says.. "open the fucking door!!!!" they were sweating their asses off! lmao

AGM

[ItaloSapo]

[James2010May]

Elevator musak is right.

[RoboPimp3000]

[Contricity]

114 people were stuck on another floor waiting for this elevator.

[micalishis]

Isn't there an elevator limit?

[abbasitareq]

114 people actually got stuck in the elevator hahaha

[ChocoNillySkateKingz]

@abbasitareq looooool wouldnt tht b a good thing?

[arcadefirerocks]

I CAN LEARNS TEH MAGAZINE INSTURMENT?

[aGoulishtomato]

@arcadefirerocks You can with Magazine Hero 53 for the Xbox 360's new Kinect sofware, which allows players to use REAL magazines, allowimg them to master the instrument and become toaaly immersed in the experience!

[arcadefirerocks]

@aGoulishtomato Are you serious?! :D

[aGoulishtomato]

@arcadefirerocks Hahahaha. Of course not silly!

[arcadefirerocks]

@aGoulishtomato Oh. Well I'm sticking with my PC anyway. Nice job poking fun at Guitar Hero and Xbox 360 and Kinect. All in one joke! :D

[ifinoxonifi]

Does anyone else find the magazine ripping distracting?

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

what a creative use of a magazine haha

[AthenaGM]

@FakeFlourescentSkies HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA looool!

AGM

[rockrock3090]

@FakeFlourescentSkies possibly the only reasonable way to use press xDDD

[skjamog]

@FakeFlourescentSkies the best use. lol

[mynewrisingsun]

@holaadios3 Even if you had used proper spelling and grammar, that still wouldn't be funny.

[directacinemactor]

this is an awesome idea!

[holaadios3]

114 where stuck whit lady gaga when she or he were singing poker face

[winggoddess]

the music is nice but the singing is hard to hear.

[Aryll9]

That's a religious magazine that he's tearing up. I recognize it. It's strangely....beautiful.

[adri411]

@Aryll9 Love it.

[XxnovacainexaddictxX]

FUCKING ADVERTS GODDAMNIT

[funofthecentury]

how creative is that????awesome...

[MontrealMMA]

Tearing magazines is a musical instrument? I'm gonna send my dog to Julliard.

[spiderveloce]

@MontrealMMA your dog has opposable thumbs?

[MasterShake1414]

@spiderveloce don't you?

[claudioagmfilho2]

wow we are from Brazil and we love this band from down here ...

[ApocalypseMeow1]

wow! original perfomance

[alanator]

hahah! I've never noticed before how much the "drummer" with the phonebook is fumbling around trying to tear those pages, and if you watch him he is laughing a lot.

[BIBLEisMARKofBEAST]

The BIBLE is the MARK of the BEAST! Constantine (1st beast) legalized Christianity and had 50 bibles compiled. King James, homo (2nd beast) 666 # of a man, born 1566, 6th of Scotland, authorized 66 book bible, image of God's word, carried in your hand, memorized in your head, made to speak (the bible says) and is used as an object of worship. Your faith will fail.

[AdamTheLion]

@CRAPPYNEIGHBOR

I mean we're talking about a group of people who, collectively, over the last 2000 years have tried to stop, and often killed the progenitors of, almost every major scientific breakthrough. Not to mention the with hunts, 3 crusades (one of which was almost entire children, most of them kidnapped), compliance with the Nazi/Axis governments, etc etc etc etc etc (I mean i'm just hitting the big ones, this list could literally take days. Anyways, kudos!
