IDLES perform Samaritans on Later... with Jools Holland on BBC Two (29th September 2018). For more performances and interviews from the show, subscribe now: bit.ly/2fKbxWg. Watch the whole episode here: www.bbc.co.uk/l...
Imagine being stood there, a member of the Lumineers, watching this and then the camera swings to you and it’s your turn to sing that hey ho my sweetheart song.
Idles write songs that fit the narrative that BBC are pushing... Leftist/Socialist thought is good, multiculturalism is good. Globalism...you'll never hear these lads sing songs about being proudly White and English.
they're oirish (although the guitarist looks Spanish) my gig buddy thinks they're an Irish version of Shame but I think they're darker @@jamieconway4692
I get an indescribable rush of emotion in the "I kissed a boy and I liked it" breakdown. Joe screaming down the camera, Bowen and Lee going absolutely mental and Dev swinging his enormous head about the gaff. Brings a tear to my eye every time.
Love this band. A band closer to the original punk bands of the late 70s than any other band I can think of right now. Actually writing about real things and being properly provocative. They mean it.
I dont correlate being angry with something to simply just being angry to be destructive. Anger can be righteous. And it can be a major catalyst for productivity, constructive change. Reminds me a bit of RATM, the concept of just a thresher of a band producing this amount of sound to state that things need to change. Aggression is needed, sometimes in desperate measure, to call attention to things that can and should change, especially things that are being affronted by popular culture, and especially when the meaning or the very existence of the thing/feeling is being threatened by ignorance or something far more toxic. It's perfectly agreeable to rage against toxic femininity and toxic masculinity.
@@alexd9999999 Of course. That's kinda what I wrote there. Righteous anger. It's a force for good, the betterment of the self. Anger can be constructive. Yessir.
As a woman, I can appreciate that it be acknowledged that there is toxicity in both traditional masculine & feminine tropes. Glad to have bands like Idles bringing up the conversation.
Saw these guys live in new york couple months ago got a neato shirt got absolutely crushed from how packed the venue was kicked in the head from all the crowd surfing and was absolutely the best time. Love these guys.
I love the honesty of the lyrics , the rawness of human emotions perfectly expressed in the most visceral way in the world wide communication.... Music❤
Next generation punk where they actually talk about the problems in the world like toxic masculinity. Men need to be able to be vulnerable and share their emotions. Too much bottling up emotions which leads to violence and suicide.
So true! "Man up, bottle it up!" That's the shit that'll always eventually end up in the news. If men aren't supposed to be "afraid of anything", why are they always so afraid of their own feelings?
all the other band members look like they were bullied at some point in their lives and then Joe just looks like their aggressively protective and loving dad
I've seen my father cry and it broke my heart. My dad is not wearing the mask of masculinity. He hates most men because of everything Joe sings about in this song. Just be nice to eachother and respect differences. Love!
Great Band. Been following Bristol UK music for a while now. So much talent. Huge shout from the US. Loving Idles and other Bristol acts like Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Roni Size, DJ Krust, AllFlaws
This is a band that has found a way to turn EVERYTHING up waaaaaaaay past 10!!!!!! They are the sonic ...& emotional...equivalent of a nuclear explosion. IF the NFL half-time show could ever evolve to accomodate an Idles performance...just imagine the world we would be living in! Unthinkable yeah...but just imagine! I see a band like the Idles...and I see hope.
Never one of my fave Idles tracks until I heard this version. Just gob smackingly good! After posting above I went to my Bataclan album and this version smashes it!
another observations: Since folks are comparing this to the Lumineers, Both bands represent very different ends of the music industry. The Lumineers’ aesthetic is that folksy come-together vibe and the peaceful small-town life where you can daydream and live happily with your neighbors, and a lot of people, deep down, really want that. They paint a fantasy. IDLES is very fucking grounded. They pull no punches and if anything they’ll punch you harder for not listening.
Oh dear.! How many live rock shows you been to then since you're so decisive in your bold comment. ? Tell me your thoughts on for e.,g. What a Motorhead original line up gig from the No Sleep Till Hammersmith tour lacks compared to this ??😂😂😂😂
