Biffy Clyro @ Maida Vale - Born on a horse & Bubbles

[MrHudson1988]

simon looks a tiny bit chubby round his face here and a shirt on?? im confused

[hellohiholaify]

i have that wood block the drummer uses, i got it because of this video

[kimj0123]

@hellohiholaify ben johnston is the drummer

[joelliam1988]

Biffy. Live. With tops on? THIS IS UNHEARD OF!

[ConzoMcF]

@joelliam1988 Biffy. Live. Maida Vale. Tops on? obviously...

[TiocfaidhArLa2t9]

anarchotrent@ fuck up u cunt

[PoulainNord]

This songs called "bubblezz" (with accent of texas)

[honestlyihavenoidea1]

Seeing these guys on May 17th in Tulsa :D

[TiocfaidhArLa2t9]

@anarchotrent so did u act like a twat on tv r sumfin?

[anarchotrent]

@TiocfaidhArLa2t9 Yes. Read the comment that's what I said.

[anarchotrent]

Ok the crowd thing.

They're on TV. They know they are. No-one want's too look the twat on TV. So no-one dances. Trust me all notions of 'going mental' go out the window when you consider more people than you can imagine will see it and go 'Hey you were the one dancing like a twat on that Biffy thing on TV! HAHAHAHA!' because they don't understand. So cut them some slack. I know how it feels to act the twat on TV and get pasted for it, it sucks.

[Phylophil]

@anarchotrent If you loved the band like many people who will be watching this video right now, you really wouldnt give a shit what you look like.

[anarchotrent]

@Phylophil I do love the band. You missed my point. I bet EVERYONE in the crows loved them, that's why they managed to get into this intimate little gig. Everyone on here reckons they would go crazy, but I guarantee that they would clam up the second the cameras were rolling.

[ad1170]

@Phylophil There not a religion don't treat them like one they do what they choose what they want to do and that's how we get free expression and music rather what they did in soviet russia where they would not allow anyone to be the last person clapping.

Anarchotrent made a good point and one that he relates too and you have no knowledge or insight from his point of view and bash him on grounds of your delusion that just because buffy clyro are playing live everyone must dance.

[ScarRaz101]

Jesus Christ what is with this crowd?!

if I had been there I would have pushed them all aside and sung along till I ran out of breath. These guys are awesome!

[weejoe1993]

theres actually some fucking movement in the crowd 7.18

[joeking88]

love there accents

[simontehbass]

don't rage guys, this isn't so much a 'gig' but a performance, in a classy place, which is why the crowd are respecting the venue, and just listening to the band.

Besides some people go to gigs and stay sobre and don't like being toe to toe with sweaty men :L

[daslegend]

that bass is hypnotic :-)

[bitchenhitchen]

There's more to a gig than jumping round! To fully appreciate the music sometimes you've just got to listen to it!

[Serotonintv]

haha In the back ground at about 5:04 this guys is wan king a bass LOL

[Serotonintv]

haha In the back ground at about 5:04 this guys is wanking a bass LOL

[KirstyR97]

woah, the crowd are enthusiastic...

[Pauldobbly]

hey i was in the audience stop giving us a hard time for not jumping around .it was a very intermate gig not the sort of place to go mental so shut up and enjoy the video.think theres a touch of jeolousy anyways,they would have chucked u out its a tiny radio studio!

[buttersworth13]

One of my favorite bands... I just hope I get to see em in the states soon.

[RobsIsPRO]

i swear if i was in that crowd i'd never stop jumping around even if i did look like a complete fanny infront of the 30 zombies

[lupaludetto]

Strange to see them wearing shirts! They are simply Fantastic! Recorded, live or acoustic, their sound is just amazing!! Loving Biffy!!!Can't wait for th 4th dec!

[Aiitor1994]

Most underrated band in the history!

[19tartanterror]

best live band. simple. end of. not a debate just fact

[OMGitsRACHO]

what the fuck is wrong with this audience? id be croud surfing and hardcore headbanging xD!

[daystilljersey]

@OMGitsRACHO fag

[OMGitsRACHO]

@daystilljersey shut the fuck up you sack, get a life instead of being a total asswipe on youtube.

[ConzoMcF]

@daystilljersey this made me laugh :L

[LawNickAble]

audience is not fucking around because that's how it goes on small radio gigs.

[jamscones92]

Althought their old stuff is better, and I wish they did it more. they still manage to destroy their new stuff with style.

[mysteriousophelia23]

why aren't the audience raving, must have been lk a really unsatisfying concert for them :( they don't deserve sucha crap audience!"

[bitchenhitchen]

@mysteriousophelia23 it wasn't a concert, it was a recording session for a radio show. and anyway, have you seen the size of the fucking room?! they'd get pissed off if they were trying to perform and kept being nudged by some dicks trying to start a pit!

[mysteriousophelia23]

@bitchenhitchen fair enough then :)

[MrBenjiejordan]

when playing bubbles they seemed to play much faster :@

[Probe2John]

You have to remember that they played this small gig before the album even came out. Only eager biffy fans would know bubbles and born on a horse at this point, and even then not very well. But yeah, if the real hardcores came along then Maida Vale's studio would've been fucked.

[EJRocky]

I officially love this band now.

MON THE BIFF!

[s15185]

is ben sat on a computer chair!? lol

[sheila37]

wait, james played the keyboards in this song? how they heck did i never notice that before??

[PIOCLITO]

what do you think, do you think that biffy are better on record or live??? :)

[FrightenedOnion]

theres hardly any good crowds out their anymore

[GibsonMusician]

guys it's not like a proper gig it's kind of like a video for TV just with a live crowd, it wouldn't be right if they started having it large in that studio, would just be weird.

[mouldyteabag]

Bollocks crowd! Awesome band...

[xofionaa]

how can the audience just stand there :| biffy are toooooooooooo good live :D!

[ALLTIMEDREW]

4:50 Microphone nose rub! hahah MON THE BIFFY! =D

[XxbanconandbeanxX]

Bass rapist at 5:04

[Larro20]

What the fuck is with this "crowd'? To be honest they probably got to see this for free!

Un-appreciative little SHITS!

[PlainRedStripes]

love Biffy man!

Check the dude in the background at 5:05 wanking his bass.

[jorjermil]

they're so amazing live! :O

[SuPaDuPaFIiEE08]

the guy at 5.04 looks like hes having un

[topcat2726]

such a nice strat colour

[5cot99]

5.03 watch for the guy in the background wanking off a bass guitar

[alasdairmckenzie123]

@5cot99 that's adam, ben and james' brother. he's a guitar and drum tech

[ROCKONplaceboforever]

Biffy ROCKS

[IndieRockIndeed]

i love love love the last part of "bubbles"!=D

[w0ca]

Wheres Wally? Did YOU see him?

[mcbawsack]

fucks sake. do you think that before they came on, someone said to the fucking belters in the audience: 'right, you are about to watch scotlands best export since strong booze and pies put their heart and souls into an excellent live performance, but DONT DARE FUCKING ENJOY YOURSELVES!! STAND STILL YOU CUNTS!!' jesus christ

[Bluvs28]

i agree, the crowd sucks ass, i was pissed off when i watched this, i lost it when they started clapping like they were the queen or something...

[maka666]

@mcbawsack I was thinkning the same.. stupid little shits... there all just stood there !! i think might be coz there filming and shit.. wouldnt want too much noise from the crowd :/ i dunno ..coz i would be jumping up and fucking down like crazy

[xprodiiigy]

@mcbawsack well said :))

[jorjermil]

@mcbawsack

Ur so right :P

[fizmo100]

@mcbawsack Absolutely - what a piss poor crowd - stood in front of them, especially at the end of Bubbles, are a group of guys rocking their fucking knackers off, and the best the audience can do is occasionally nod out of time. Pathetic!

[confusedinthegroove]

@mcbawsack best rant ever...

[darrenburns123]

@mcbawsack hahahahahahaha the biggest and most truthful rant i have ever heard, id be going fucking mental!! fuck everyone else, part from u, me and u going doolalley at this awesomeness!!

[daystilljersey]

@mcbawsack I wish more audiences would enjoy gigs properly like this instead of being brainless cunts acting like massive wankers and pissing everyone else off. Get some fucking respect and enjoy a band with a bit of thought for a change, fucking knuckle draggers man.

[ConzoMcF]

@daystilljersey Excactly, even if it was a band i didn't really listen to, Good music? get rocking ! yeahh :D

[jim8361]

@mcbawsack you've just put into words exactly what i was trying to say, thankyou kind sir, boring bunch of bastards. think how biffy felt, MON THE BIFF

[JohnnyRainbow2K9]

@mcbawsack hahah i think its because of the whore rechording for radio 1 thing butt yerr id get thrown out for looking like im having a fit jumping round and rockin' out with my cock out hahaha :D

[CKsNecro]

GREAT!!!!! =D

[marcus5611]

Watch simons fingers move when hes playing the riff just before they go ape

[hyperfunkd]

MON THE BIFFY!

Last part of Bubbles in awesome... What a band they are :-)

[Praktical]

Ben's drumming is so fucking cool in this song. With the wood block and everything...shit man, awesome stuff.

[rebelbhoy1888]

Aye is it..

He is just staring that wooden block out.

Fuckin awesome live man. Ayrshire`s finest without a doubt.

[barryjlfc]

I love simons dance at d beginnin of dis video..so funny

[BigGlassesProduction]

its so cool there a bril band and fender have even gave them there oun signature guitars and i never thought the would give a strat as a signature

[Tallukeah]

Well it's a bit obvious Fender were gonna make a Strat considering it's the only type of guitar he uses... lol :-)

[Tobougg]

wasn't a strat... really... it's kinda a diluted strat haha

[neilaarondudgeon]

@Tobougg

how is it?

it has the same pickups and bridge and everything.

[Tobougg]

because it's a Squier.... and it's 1/3 or 1/4 the price of the Fender Stratocasters Simon neil uses. The "signature guitar" is a Squier Strat. Not a fender Stratocaster. It's a much lower build spec, Thats all.... (i was born on a horse thats all?) haha

[fanny69bandit]

its like 290 quid for the guitar that was made for him its 350 for a fender strat lol ..... just sayin

[Tomamo5]

actually. his signature squieris 290. the strat he actually uses the majority of the time is his own custom made...quite a bit more expensive than 350. :)

[fanny69bandit]

any idea where i can get one : D ? the ones he uses ? please

[marcus5611]

And cos he dont want to be spending so much on strats with all the money he has :D lol

[19lionheart90]

taking the guitar as down as possible doesn't make you cooler...

[konsblack]

@19lionheart90 very true

[zackpliskin]

"Born On The Horse" sounds like it's taking the piss out of electropop pish like Lady Gaga. It's fun.

"Bubbles" is pure classic Biffy. Heavy with a killer singalong chorus.

I think maybe Simon should take his guitar down from under his armpits though. Him, the guy from Tubelord and Tom Morello.

[rokerdude94]

Must just be where he's comfortable playing it

[zackpliskin]

Probably. I wouldn't have brought it up except in earlier videos he has his guitar at a much lower height.

[lukegjpotter]

@zackpliskin Alex Turner from The Arctic Monkeys.

[zackpliskin]

Too right; can't believe I forgot about him.

[callumacallum]

he doesn't have it high anymore

[dianaeumema]

i love Bubbles

[mattb666]

Two of the best songs on the new album! Mon the Biff!!!

[johnmc2k]

love the chorus chord progression

[gaza592]

Man, I love the Biffy! :)))

Woulda have loved to have been there..Sound for the upload mate! 5*

[9Fuck]

Awesome !!!

This song is a master piece !!

[rockabillychickee]

this is an awesome upload..thank you so much for sharing it! sure wish i'd been there<3

[M0NTH3B1FFY]

Haha, theres some guy that turns around at like 0:40 and gives another person evils.

[sergeantfan]

Hahaha looks like that doesn't it? Think he was only getting his jacket off lol

[D92V]

Ive been counting on the wrong things, to make life feel alright

[TheYerboi]

He mostly uses strats.

But he does have a custom squire strat.

He uses that white gibson (i forget the model) and others but i was moshing too much to pay that much attention!

[loganbiffy]

Yeah, mostly uses Strats live. Uses Les Paul's, Telecaster's etc. in the studio.

He uses a white Gretsch live as well.

[Barbero1992]

from a guitarist point of view, i'd love to see simon use other guitars aswell. like a les paul, sg, or tele. biffy win, always

[Lotrfan99]

He uses other guitars live but the Gibsons are only used during the recording part. If he didnt use Fenders it would take a bit away from the Biffy character because hes been playing Strats the whole time. I like his guitars. Suit him perfectly.

[brendawalsh9021o]

the final part of Bubbles needs two other guitars. in the record it's three and you can tell something's really missing when they play it live.

This record is so good, perfect.

[Bluvs28]

si mon is an effing legend not mariah carey mate..he deonst need to hit the "high notes" fro this to sound good, all he ahs to do is open his mouth .

[bareakon]

i love that shoutout to the americans in the lyrics ("i pronounce it aluminium")

[andrewmilios]

i just found out this band...i really like it!!!! :)...too bad the dude has a problem with his voice live...hope he gets better.

[Barbero1992]

problem?? simon neil is amazing

[SilviusBrabo]

problem???? lol there is no problem, he sounds better live!

[andrewmilios]

5:53 ....well there is a problem....dont get me wrong...he still has a good voice!

[topcat2726]

@SilviusBrabo .....come on.....you serious?

[Lotrfan99]

Go see them live mate and youll be proven otherwise...

[kaney200]

FUCKIN YEAH!!! MON THE BIFFY!!!!

[danivedubyah]

this is a beast of an album! :)

born on a horse = genius.

[Torres09Soad]

Biffy Clyro must use very little time in the recording studios because they sound as good live as on the album :D

[pariswhatever]

new album is amazing.

[SilviusBrabo]

most tracks from only revolutions are way better live because simon screams and the whole band's live sound is really unique and adds a certain flare to the songs that you dont get on the album versions..

still a good album though and i love biffy

[immundaneimnormal]

Bornonahorse sounds likea DukeDuke song. It's not like Biffy.

[mmmbilly]

oh - and if you need proof of biffy's progrssion. watch the video for 57, the difference from then to now is insane

[mkgvlc4]

ok, they've progressed, but in which way?

to me ktotty or convex, concave are much bigger tunes than this, and they´re in blackened sky.

[JamesCmuse]

but isnt that just a matter of opinion?

i agree with what your saying completely but its all down to your own opinion

[mmmbilly]

the chorus of bubbles is just incedible in every way

[Femmzz]

they are sooo good! better live than on CD, of how many bands can you say that .. eh?

Love themm :D

[OhMyWordx2]

BUBBLES! what a song =)

[chebaka4]

the drummer lives in killie like 10 doors down from me :D

[reform0party0]

tell him i love him

[chebaka4]

I SHALL :D!!!

[cheesecrazy42]

ur so lucky!! if i lived near any of the biffy's i'd be knocking on their door evry day! and camping out side there house! :D ...and then i'd probably get arrested! yay!! lol. does he have a big house?

[chebaka4]

you see....... im not brave enough :( im scared incase i come across as strange ;) loll

im not sure if he lives with james, ive never seen him? loll

but its not really a big house :O its just in a better area of killie :D

[cheesecrazy42]

lol- i spose i would be a bit nervous going to his house :s knowing me i'd end up accidently going to the wrong house or sumthin. that would be embarasin! but its a good fact that you can tell everyone you meet that you live near one of the biffys! =D

[KanePain666]

haha man thats funny im actually looking at simons flat in ayr, down by the harbour

[guitarguy182182182]

haha mate thats kinda creepy actually

[Vonstonian]

monthebiffy10 wat are you on about? Born on a horse & Bubbles are fuckin pure Biffy. Obviously Blackened Sky is a great alum, like all their albums. In my opinion they have gotten better, they definitly have, they would even tell you that themselves. Not their fault the media and mass following came with their progression.

[Lotrfan99]

fuck right mate. a great band or musician is defined by growth, progress and diversity. Biffy clearly have shown it throughout their entire career and Only Revolutions is a class fucking album. I havent bought a cd in a while an this one was worth the money. Great lads as well.

[ANDRIUSZAAA]

Zajebiste kawałki!!

[monthebiffy10]

lol @ plimmer commenting this.

dont agree with the sell-out thing, but he's right, the new albums nothing compared to blackened sky, vob + the like. i'm not one of the 07-09 haters, i dont mind puzzle, the songs are all decent, i just prefer blackened sky. undecided on this album though, golden rule + cloud of stink are great songs, god + satan and many of horror are nice acousticy ones, but this and bubbles are poor. whoever said that this album tops it all, are clearly on a different planet.

[Lordwatson303]

Love the bassist using the Microkorg :)

[InactivePuddle]

blackend sky to puzzle were awesome but only revolutions tops it all :D

[punxnotdead12345]

ha ok

blackened sky

v.o.b

infinity land

enough said

mainstream sold out

[cptgulls]

Fuck off.

[reform0party0]

cmon man puzzle is sick i have all the albums i agree with you but i think puzzle is better than infinity land

[OldGoochProductions]

agreed

[shotgunblues03420]

jesus christ

i just duno what i would do with myself with out biffy!

[MrsPopeJohnPaul]

wow, the crowd look like they're getting into it.

NAAAHT.

oh, and to all the 2007-2009 era haters, grow up. they've taken a new direction as a band, and i still love them, if not a little bit more!

[craigscott3]

friggggggggin love bubbles

[darrenburns123]

FAE DUNDEE MATE ? LOL HAHAHAHAHA

[Trauma104]

they are one of the few bands that seem to better themselves every single album,

just blows my mind

awesome tunes!

[aligntheplanets]

Are you serious? Have you even listened to Blackened Sky?

[lukenluken]

Check out my High quality version of Born On a Horse :) Almost album quality! Cheers.

[donners1982]

it's annoying me now..... i can't get this damn drum beat right!!

[we11s85]

The new biify stuff rocks...it just proves how amazing they are when they can change their sound and still sound fucking awesome.Their old stuff is amazing too but if they just sounded the same all the time they would get boring!!

This is the new biffy clyro so get use to it!!

Still best band in the world and cant wait to see them in leeds this friday...mon the biffy!!!!

[nevman182]

Both These are absolute tuuuunnnneesss!!!!! Fuck all the Puzzle Era haters! there old stuff is better, but this stuff just rocks as hard!

If i hear one more comment about how Biffy have sold out to the mainstream i might just shoot myslef. New album is gonna be siiccck :)

[himynameisjaack]

Watch for the Roadie masturbating the bass in the background at 5:02

[seaag]

hahah xD

[joesheldon]

just about to comment that eexact thing! :).

[notgoodwithwords]

Epic first line, that ones always gunna make me smile :)

Bring on my box set!

[ChrisYoung1989]

What about that guitar solo in Bubbles eh? Amazing!

Bring on Glasgow on the 3rd!

[TrioFan759]

wasnt a fan of puzzle album but some belters on the new album born on a horse is quality :-)

[SeanF8989]

Amazing concert, Dub was WAY better than Belfast. How'd you get to meet them ?

[keithk12345]

saw them last night in dublin! met them twice after the gig then! they were amazing!

[AliGlenUig]

[rag0o]

[troykeenanguitar]

[LightDarkStupid]
