I’m 51 years old I heard this band a few years ago and I also saw them at altogether now festival Co Waterford and I introduced them to my now 19 old son he absolutely loves them and thy are a big influence in his own music career now I have always told him music should also be a message
Well said, I agree music should just be more than a romantic boy chase girl / vice versa story telling. Through music, you should convey a message, your ideology and Philosophy on how you perceive life, for example
I'm 48 and this is the first band in my adult life to give me the same feeling I had as a teenager discovering new music. I will forever be grateful to Grian and co. for this.
Something about this guy..... there's a natural star quality about him.... I honestly thought real music was done but yet again we have been blessed with a prophet of the Arts..... can not wait to see what this guy and the band are going to give us
This is like The Sun newspaper or rag. You can see Grian's well versed, being himself & smiling all of a sudden there's something wrong 😂😂😂 great tune dont know about the new look but whatever floats your boat, nice touch with the family 🎵🇮🇪🎵
@@MimiYouyu signs of selling out serving the agenda girls clips in ya barnet mate and a skirt. Its far from rock n roll His poetry and songs have some form cognitive dissonance with the inage i see before me here Music lyrics and their inspiration from this band all awesome but i look at the image of this video and my brain says sell out to that PRIDE agenda
From across the pond, here, so I have no point of reference for Jools' performance, but it didn't seem more awkward than any other senior person trying to talk to someone 50 years younger than themselves 😜 Grian's rather quick though with calling his dad out for more football cards 😂😂😂
To be honest I don’t think this interview was as bad as everyone is saying, yeah it was slightly awkward but I think overall groan got to put his points across
English witt and Irish witt are completely different, especially Dublin witt... Inner city dubs are the most honest, funny and genuine people you could ever meet.... and im a meath man/ culchie!
@Canwepleasehavefun1 I know, he was born in England but has spent more time in ireland and classes himself as a dublin man and he's never lied and said he was born in ireland so there's no fabrication at all, just great music.
@pilgrim3387 yes I totally agree, there are so many British comedians that we irish love but witt and banter are completely different to stand up comedians so I disagree that we have similar witt, both funny but different. It would be boring if we were all the same 😁
Bit of historical trivia for the uninitiated - Grian's accent in Ireland is known as a 'Pale' accent. It comes from the days when the British colonised the area around Dublin. A lot of Dublin natives still speak with an English twang on some words - here, you can hear it when he says the word 'record'.
@@bigbrainmcflurry2425I feel like people say this to jump on the cool bandwagon now. Old U2 had some absolute bangers with great lyrics. Like all great bands they've had their day but they have some classics. Each to their own. It's all art
Most Irish people don't like U2 check out Damien Rice, Lisa Hannigan & Mick Flannery 3 great artists that come to mind, also Whipping Boy the album Heartworm is a treasure 🎵🇮🇪🎶
I don't know this Jools person but he seems a bit fuddy-duddy. 😅 I'm Gen X and I thought the responses from Grian were charming, funny, and thoughtful. Hello from California! 😎🌴
i can't believe jools still has a job. decades of cringe interviews. still an employee of the BBC. unbelievable - so many people would love to have his job and would do it so much better.
Seems like they fired the stylists 😂 In all serious though I'd be interested to know if there's anything more to the new aesthetic for the band other than perhaps taking the piss out of the indie rock, cool look.
Yeah. Love Fontaines DC. Grian is a visionary poet. Jools was a bit of a dick in this interview. Oh you collect mud. Wtf? Grian responded with sincerity and authenticity. Respect. Irish roots.
Grian makes the interview difficult by being a bit disrespectful in his manner. Take your hand away from your mouth when you speak and stop smirking and looking away when asked a question. If he doesn't want to be interviewed he should just stick to the music which is great tbf.
Its common trendy moody teenager music, attached to it a sense of superiority of an ncad kiddie who thinks he knows too much. Its good like, but not as good as its made out.
He's just answering questions. Either the way, the guy (and FDC generally) are superb, and a cut above most other brands/artists from the last 5 years.
@@Endlesssummer1average at best? Ludicrous/unfair statement. 3 solid albums, soon to be 4. All different styles. Not afraid to evolve. They should get way more recognition than they currently do but I can see this year being big for them. Headlining the park stage at Glastonbury and a big arena tour to see the year off.
Woeful, typical of this band to wash over the plights of actual Dublin musicians and just say he looks good ~ all genuine Irish musicians from Dublin hate these lot and this is why
What the hell he got in his hair . And on his feet... when they all get a bit dodgy looking I'm out . No need for boots like that...and women hair clips...bang out of order
