Bloc Party - Helicopter live on Jools Holland

[MrJERICHOJIM]

Haha someone from the crowd adds his 2 cents in at 2:25

[nge1301]

This is the best drummer I've seen in a long time.

[FromTheAshesWeRiot]

I can care less about Kele's sexual orientation, or the fact that the drummer is asian..this song kicks major ass.

[xSUPERxGTx]

Top performance for a top song.

[calvinise]

Anyone who is in denial that they were shocked Kele was black the very first time you saw Bloc Party is a liar. Not that it matters in any way, shape or form. Bring them back, absurd they don't have a record deal yet look at the dregs that do have one.

[Cheesemaster890]

Interpol, Obstacle 1

[sakruei]

muy buena rola

[SuperBeBro]

2:24 random dude going "BLAH", lol

[L0veepanicc]

well that's a pretty sick first impression

[777coolest777]

ドラムすげえ！！　

[treadsuit]

wtf jonny greenwood wanna be

[95railflip]

@treadsuit haha, i thought the exact same thing when i saw him.

[Cleiusthenes]

love the little knee kick Russell does.

[Nick4484]

Didn't know the singer was black... dude rocks, band rocks!!!

[Cleiusthenes]

Goddamn... they pretty much violated their instruments.. in a good way.

[DreamFantasyCookieZ]

GuiTar Hero Brought me here :)

[Ahiboa]

@DreamFantasyCookieZ Burnout: Takedown brought me here.

[safeer10]

Boringest crowd, i mean with that type of music i'd be crowd surfing already!

[MrFersheys]

i wish bloc pary could read all the comments of his fans, we want you back :(

[joeleeLAWLZ]

@MrFersheys They've already gotten back together, and in the studio...

[MrFersheys]

@joeleeLAWLZ it's true that matt tong is not longer a band memeber?

[joeleeLAWLZ]

@MrFersheys No, that was just a joke played by the band. Tong's still in.

[joeleeLAWLZ]

Gordon always looks like a sad puppy.

[Msdcc]

is it just me or did you guys hear some guy growling in the background

[DomHowardsFluoPants]

Kele is still in Bloc Party ! :D

[mike94aua2]

drum difficulty=asian

[desasterz]

Did you know that I heard someone say that black people were less intelctually culpable (basicly closer to chimps) than others? Man, I feel sorry for him, because it means he obvioussly hasn't heard Bloc Party... :/

[QuicklyComeTheFuture]

I love the grunt at 2:25 :')

[Acidbiloba]

3:10 I don't had it for the milka'♫

[Karmarghh]

@Acidbiloba He says "Are you hoping for a miracle" :P

[KraYzieYT]

The Drummer is KILLER NINJAA :D

[MariosupercoolOchoa]

am I the inly one who cant see the drummer cuz of his awesomenuss?!

[blahblah2018]

the drummer is like a ninja

[Troiasta]

The bassist is so depressed looking :L

[kabbyman13]

This song reminds me of tony hawks underground. WOOOO

[paperplaneprose]

Brilliant! I wish Kele would hurry up and get back to Bloc Party. I know he's busy with his solo stuff and writing stories (I saw one of his short stories written on a pavement in Paris, it was part of the off-beat literary magazine 'Do Not Look at the Sun'- google it... It looked amazing) BUT Bloc Party are too young to be done.

[Kento617]

@paperplaneprose Exactly! I know they're together now but they still got a lot more to give. I hope they come out with some new songs soon

[MrTurtlesmoothie]

@paperplaneprose Damn bot.

[therealbeav]

yea, you know what's goin on here if youve ever seen them live! SILENT ALARM!

[sexme9111]

from their first apereance to their last the rocked

[evade531]

stop being so american lol love it

[stealthstrudel]

So, do they like telecasters or what?

[Ionjohn]

@stealthstrudel theyre the best

[yaashdev]

2:23 what was that?



[Thelgar65]

tried to click several time on Thumb up. Only once allowed, shit

[jlehmann2407]

@Thelgar65 don't say stupid shit like that

[CyanideHappiness01]

@larsioflair It's BLOC Party...

[davesmith7891]

Can I get a thumbs up for a comment that mentions how ninja-like the drummer is? Thanks.

[larsioflair]

ooh and BLOCK PARTYYY!!!!!!!!!

[larsioflair]

HOLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDDD!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Swingfinger]

aha... enthusiastic backup vocals

[Alejandrosaysrelax]

one word: goosebumps

[LieutenantSarcasm26]

THEY. FUCKING. KILLED. IT.

[TheMinims]

This is such an awesome song. Takes me back to my FIfa days :P

[ProudLiberal2008]

That is a very excellent drummer...

[egdqv13234]

harry potter behaind the drums with his wand as drumsticks

[Nejb44]

I never saw the episode where naruto learned to play the drums

[Fryvid]

its more Harry Potter banging those drums than a ninja haha

[lowde01]

the jam set the house ablaze ?

[SuperAwyeah]

I hate Eskimos. 

[ilikechicken4321]

I like how all the compliments to the drummer are generic ninja comments

[Kento617]

@ilikechicken4321 These guys are all ninjas! HOW ELSE ARE THEY PLAYING SO FREAKING FAST!!!!!!!!!!

[constantinehelmet]

I never knew bruce lee played drums!

[AlmostLiberal192]

@SuperAwyeah

Shut your goddamn mouth!... stupid racist...

[jdthunder666]

@SuperAwyeah "lol" implies your going to be funny, not a cunt.

[cpreston5]

Its a fairly simple beat, but he plays the shit out of it!

[killerz949]

temazo



[deon81292]

james franco on the bass..

[onarcotx]

Thanx 4 the uplaod, great band cool song.

[pnnzr]

do they use just the mexican telecasters?

[ThomasJedidiah]

Wow! All these racist hateful comments. Why the hell are you here?!?! Go youtube "juggalos" or something....

[TheCmworld]

I'm pretty sure I spelled it right, you spelled winning, which is present tense for win. And I was being sacrastic but you probably don't know the meaning of the word,

[WillandDomProduction]

i honestly never would have guessed that the lead singer was black

[SuperAwyeah]

This is the gayest shit I've ever heard. Why is rock music so whiny now? Gayest black guy I've ever seen, gayest band, and the gayest fans. Faggots.

[TheCmworld]

@SuperAwyeah It has come to my attention that YOU are the one who is whinning, I feel sorry for you spending 3:47 minutes of your life that you won't get back. May I play the violin for you?

[SuperAwyeah]

@TheCmworld Thank you for the compliment bro, but you spelled winning wrong. There's no H. I also only had to listen to the first 10 seconds to realize this was shit. You may play the violin for me though.

[xxXST0N3DXxx]

@SuperAwyeah what do you listen to? screamo and that gay shit?

[SuperAwyeah]

@SuperAwyeah No I listen to Justin Bieber. Never say never, niggs.

[JaCkErS59]

The drummer is fucking amazing

[pallavic101]

i wish people would stop making racist comments and just listen to the music.

[LavishLila]

I love them.

[Tresyboy]

Jools falls down the stairs.....im sure he didnt mean to step down quite like that at the start... lol

[tttimok]

saw kele (lead singer) live at latitude. check out his songs they r emense.

[mollers92]

The racism in this section is fucking pathetic.

[raven66614]

That guy is a good guitarist for a nigger :D

[ODrMonstro]

@raven66614 jmi hendrix would be proud

[fredards123]

@raven66614 i really hope youre using that ironically to attack other racists. even then its inappropriate and marks you out as a cunt

[sannydanders]

@raven66614 - Good for a 'Nigger'? Jimmy hendrix was black you cunt.

I bet your shit aswell.

[ODrMonstro]

british accent

[FaezCurrito]

damn thats some tight shirt

[ArianesMusic]

I started clapping at the end of this song... lol.

[TheMoocowmoo]

The harmonics used are fucking unbelievable. So excellent.

They are all awesome musicians. :]

[ODrMonstro]

=]

[GmastaK]

Great song first time hearing them live, but the guitar player with the white telecaster looks like jonny Greenwood from Radiohead when he's looking down while playing (its probably the hair) Anyone agree?

[oscarreeve]

@GmastaK yeah i was thinking that!

[bob96417]

fuking beast ass drummer

[andyholmes121]

I love this!

[ceejaydoyle]

this is encouraging and fascinating to watch. like they just really, really fucking want it. they're clearing giving it their all and have rehearsed to the bone and its so surreal to see next to the whole "solo project" saga, where they al supposeddly became all apathetic with the band and its achievements and needed a break from each other. i really hope they re-achieve this sense of desire with the new album and give it their all again, they have the potential to make another brilliant album

[wow2217]

Does anybody else notice roaring between 2:24 and 2:28 ?

[BeatSurgeon89]

Tbh, i thought the drummer was gonna have a Spinal Tap moment.... 

[ChristyOB3]

Miraculous

[soldat182]

they all look soo young here!

[BrownMan181]

@twoshort509 he says (i'm thinking six,six,six I'm thinking six) on min 2:28

[BrownMan181]

Badass singer love the accent and for those who dnt know what he is saying you must have a bad hearing!!!

[twoshort509]

does he say "666 up in the 6" at 2:28?? lolz!!

[autumnandroid]

@twoshort509 if you knew the lyrics, you would know.

[twoshort509]

haha, i dont look up every lyrics for every song in the world, haha he has a too much of an accent XDD

[mrghostrider313]

@twoshort509 he says " im thinking 666 im thinking 6

[signofthehammer]

@twoshort509 what's surprising, they're a group in the music industry and as such they have probably payed the price to be there (worshiping lucifer)

[twoshort509]

@signofthehammer hahah, maybe? they look suspiciously unsuspicious which usally mens yes XDD

[signofthehammer]

@twoshort509 hahah lets hope they are not and they chose Jesus way!:P

[theGuitarGhost22]

What's up with so many commenting the black skined vocalist?? He is a musician. A singer and a guitarist. A bloddy good one as well! Music is music, the world universal language, It doesn't matter who's speaking, as long as it reaches out to people.

[BornInDarknessToDie]

asian drummer, black singer, white guitarist and bassist. i love this band.

[ArinArshavin]

this is the musical equivalent of a 17 year old youngster making his debut at old trafford and scoring a last minute winner, such is the epicness of this performance

[Troiasta]

Well fender pretty much own this band

[ryanlah]

What the fuck people just stand there and watch id be at the front screaming WOOOOOO FUCK YEH

[BassDownLovv]

decent live performance

[mike94aua2]

the drummer is a fucking samurai

[aldack]

@mike94aua2 literally....

[easeupgeez]

[shanman1019]

[RebornDrummerz]

Theres a fucking ninja behind the drums

[clnrrr]

the drummer counted in, and then he's like "challange accepted" :D

not just accepted, it was awesome.

[StupidNutter]

I hate when the top rated comments are both replies to comments we can't see...

[Dunkzzz95]

When bloc party were still good.

[Yaroei99]

Awesome!! Awesome voice and the guitar is just terrifying fast!!

[earlzy64]

drummer is beast

[c3026209]

Drummer definitely regretting counting in too fast

[StupidNutter]

@c3026209 Nah, that's Matt Tong. He's regretting counting in too slow.

[kensevenfold]

Russel rule

[tufel77]

@lancula the lyric is "are you hoping for a miracle" I'm pretty sure. :D

[JiggyNDow]

The drummer is such a boss.

[lancula]

sounds like, "are you happy for america" .makes sense

[ikke998]

at first I tought he said "are you happy for the milkcow"

[robbz88]

[ria416]

@pureflame90, anything wrong with that? after all, variety is the spice of life aha

[jonny26281]

@pureflame90 what a prick

[andord123]

@pureflame90 Waste of life making a comment, wtf?

[AllTriforces]

seems to be a bit rushed...but good.

[Cradlestoner]

I really really wish that all these britpop / rock bands would discover the magic of using distortion just a little bit...good band though, and a good performance.

This would just sound much heavier if they were heavier...

[aleczanduh]

fucking fantastic :D

[ShanMaster61]

Keles singing has improved alot now

[ShanMaster61]

Keles sing has improved over the years. Very good band

[mimimi4dub]

02:51 <3

[prt1990]

Did anybody listen to the song?

Sorry if this comment distracts you from Kele's skin colour.

[cworner11]

Hmm, thats interesting. My comment had loads of thumb ups but yet it been removed from the top comments. Youtube sucks... :(

[lovinit53]

they must be part of some clan for fingering.. god.

[zergb0ng]

Blues, the mother of rocknroll is african american invention

[NCISSANG]

that snare sounds real smooth

[WickedKnightAlbel]

Good voice on that one. Powerful

[Incubus941]

This is before they became completely and utterly bollocks.
