I literally just went to a metic show tonight and it was amazing! I looked up Emily Haines age- 49 years old and she fucking killed it- dancing, jumping, and never missed a beat. And the band rocked the fucking house!
The Kansas City show they mentioned at 6:26 was my favorite concert of allll time! With Spoon, Hockey, and The Bravery--another of my fave bands! Can't wait to see Metric in person again!
I was on their show in Moscow. After years of waiting for this show (without really believing they would come) it was great to say the least. One of the best bands I've seen live. Thank you guys for visiting us.
Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton is a solo / theatrical project of hers. And she produced several classic gems that will absolutely be studied by musicians for decades to come. She's a genius. I agree! 💕
metric formed in 98! wow. they definitely worked for their success as i feel like they didn't achieve success until "dead disco" hit in 2005. one of my fav bands of all time. emily's solo work is great as well. also, joules scott key one of the best rock drummers of past 20 years no doubt.
I remember around back then lol.. I didn't think there were any studio's in the woods north of Toronto until one night a Producer heard me singer in front of the bar and the guy kidnaps me.. I mean it, a music producer kidnapped me from the "Town Dump" at 2 am.. I'll explain. In a way I wish I had of worked with him, I would've gotten to make and create an album from scratch with a guy who really valued my input and ideas.. Meet and play with great bands like Metric and Dear Rouge, and I rap so there's all them I would've met. I met Master T and Tony Monaco later when I was doing some promotions but I'm talking about the time a Music Producer tried to kidnap me. It was karaoke night and someone was strangling themselves to Three Days Grace.. Well, I actually spent a couple of semesters in Norwood and knew the guys from the band in grade 9/10 and they thanked me later so TdG has a special place in me and I love singing their songs.. ( I love Metric too..) When I was there my uncle had a Trail Riding Ranch and he used to own and sell clubs so he had all his dj equipment still.. Technics 1200's.. Elite 1000's, amps and mixer and ect ect and he would get contracted to do the high school dances. For our graduation I think it was grade 9 or 10, can't remember I had suggested having a party and inviting the whole grade class.. I knew a few friends that had a band and were putting together songs for a demo cause they really wanted to make it as a band. So I asked them to play the Graduation Party at the Ranch. The day of the event I spent all of it giving out trail rides with my uncle and other ranch hands that helped out for the Grad Party and later I did some Dj'ing with another gentleman that helped out around the Ranch, Paul. When the sun went down, my friends with the band went to their set up and started playing to the class. We all loved it of course.. Next thing you know, a cop rolls up the drive way and gets out, comes walking up and me and my uncle meet him. He's asking what's the party and we tell him. I asked him, "Who called the cops?" He was like, "Nobody.." He heard it 5 km's away when he walked out the store in Havelock lol and decided he had to check out where it was coming from. We asked him if he wanted us to turn it down and he was really cool.. He's like, "No, we haven't gotten any complaints.. Just don't play all night and don't turn it up," attitude.. Years later my brother is like, "Why aren't you on FB? A lot of people want to say Hi, and thank you.." "Thank me? for what?" According to my brother that knew them too the original members of the band didn't know how to reach me to say thank you.. That event.. Playing for hundreds of screaming teenagers convinced them they wanted to make it more than anything and they wanted to thank me for it.. I'm like, "really?" and he's like, "Yeah, they call themselves Three Days Grace," and I was like, "OMG! Really! Tell them I said Congrats!!" So, unofficially, I was Three Days Grace's first concert promoter.. and according to them, (not me..) one of the reasons the band made it cause I'd given them the drive and a taste. So here I am singing TdG in front of the bar and this guy is walking by and hears me.. Starts yapping with me about singing going on about how good I am. At this time in my life I really hated being complimented so I was like, "yeah, okay, uh huh.." But I was polite and conversed with him about music and the industry. He was a good conversationalist so when he drags me back to his house telling me he's a producer half of me was like, "Your full of it," (< didn't say that, thought it..) So we get to his house and he's got thousands of $$$ in his house in equipment.. Mixing Boards, Drum Sets, Guitars, Speakers.. The whole works and still I was like, "Nah, I can't sing.." His wife was upset at him for dragging me into their home at 3am, she comes out in her bathrobe and says, "Young man, your in my house at 3 o'clock in the morning, you can sing.." He was telling me about all the Canadian bands he'd worked with and he wanted to work with me.. I was like, "I don't have a band.." He responded, "We'll get you one.." He just refused to take no for an answer and couldn't understand for the life of him why I wasn't thrilled about the prospect. My mom, was a famous singer. She had her own single, was on tv and sang live with a couple big personalities before she left the industry to focus on her career in gov and being a mom. When we were little kids I used to have a very good grasp of spelling and words and I had heard a rap once and for a while I used to rap and rhyme all the time for fun and one of my mother's producer's had heard me doing it and they wanted to make my brothers and I into what would've been the first Rap Boy Band back in like, 82, 83 when I just a knee high.. All three of us brothers were like, "No.." You know I walked into a gov office to see my mom once and left with my own tv show.. How does that happen?! LOL.. So as kids we were already used to that kind of attention and I didn't really like it and with 3 brother's we got into a lot of shenanigans.. things we weren't proud and having a dysfunctional family with problems I never wanted any of those things following me if I ever, you know, became famous so I chose not to be.. And that's my story.. Recently, a couple years ago I was asked to perform a few songs at a woman's cancer benefit so I couldn't say "no.. " Before I got up I was speaking with the organizer and I really didn't want to get up cause I don't think I'm a great singer or anything and after I did my acapella set buddy comes up to me and he's like, "Why were you so worried, you've got one of the best voices here tonight?" I'm looking at the other bands and he's like, "I've heard them.. Your better.." and he started to kidnap me and wondered why I didn't pursue a professional music career.
Q104.3 plays some great music but they should probably play Metric too. All of their albums are chock full of great songs. Lou Reed played with them. Mick Jagger chose them to open for The Stones. Elton John plays them on his radio show. They really are one of the best rock bands ever. PS They’re playing Brooklyn but I’m hoping for Manhattan dates. Fans from other parts of New York want to see them too. Great interview! PS I bet they could do a kick ass version of “Run Like Hell” if they wanted to. Just putting it out there. Lol
I've always found Formentera (song) to be very reminiscent of Hotel California. She validates me here. Love that song. ...also, i like to pretend that Paths in the Sky is about UFOs, but it probably isn't. LOL
I think they're shy, kinda like me like that.. Josh and Joules have been with the band since 2004 so I think they chose not too.. I've seen Josh talk a couple times in interviews over the years but mostly they let Emily do all the talking..
So, one could be forgiven for analogizing that Formentera book @your studio, to the "Dark Hold" from the entertainment franchise "Marvel Cinematic Universe"? Only not to sinister ends, just occasionally-hauntingly beautiful beats accompanying lyrics that're still totally top-of-artform (though today's music is becoming garbage fast, not that that's not understood by anyone in these Comments!) "All Comes Crashing" is just amazing ("Starting over after it all breaks.... When push it comes to shove, we do not fall out of love, we double down we do not fade" SICKEST lead-in to a chorus EVERRR!), am eagerly hoping I'm able to make it to see you guys when you hit the SE USA, I missed Synthetica (and all prior ones/have never been yet) and was very saddened so will be VERY focused on making it to one of the Formentera shows, was SO stoked to go online trying to find which album "Too Little Too Late" was on, only to find you've just dropped a new one & were actively touring, but I wasn't too-late, talk about lucky timing for me :D ) [You feel like a real jack-ass when Emily goes mentioning the lyrics you'd just quoted....instinct was to edit-out that line but it felt wrong, I err'd by Commenting before finishing the video so will leave "my" favorite hook/line from the song there as-if I'd just been parroting her favorite...though I'd bet that's probably most fans' favorite line of the song it is near-flawless from words to melody to lead-in or "placement" just awesome totally reminds you why Metric's music is so amazing :) ]
realizing the nature of that reference probably means like 1/100th of people on this URL will get it, am genuinely a bit anxious/nervous at finding myself as one of the few men at the show but don't care (my ex put me onto you guys ages ago, and while most music just got, well, lame/corny as one grows older, yours is 1 of the few that stands the test of time for me anyways :)) And ROFL @Emily's "Are you in real estate?" lol it's nice to see that sharp biting wit isn't just still-there, but "on-tap", guess I wouldn't have assumed anything less!! Thanks for the content @Metric & @Q1043 New York :D
Metric is one of my favourite bands of all time
New album sounds much better. The new studio really paid off. Has a much more pleasant dance sound.
"favourite", only on a Metric band page ;D Heh *please* don't take that/this as anything but a *positive* observation, am an American however when watching this & remembering "Oh yeah, not only did you know Metric were from CA, but you'd have basically surmised as much even if you didn't know", lol this is the weirdest phenomena for me as an American- keep finding-out, after the fact, "Oh yeah this favorite singer/actor/professional of yours, is a Canadian"....wayyy beyond any statistical possibility of being "random"/chance, there's *something* about Canadians/canadian-culture is drawing something on a subconscious level (for me)

The new album is amazing. One of the best things that happened this year
And what a bloody brilliant album it turned out to be!
This band has aged like fine wine.
"[...] When we lose somebody, it's that the person that has brought people together during their lifetime, in their passing they also bring people together."
What a beautiful sentiment here!
26 Aug. Toronto show was out of this world, Thank you Metric
I literally just went to a metic show tonight and it was amazing! I looked up Emily Haines age- 49 years old and she fucking killed it- dancing, jumping, and never missed a beat. And the band rocked the fucking house!

I am a portuguese fan of this band ... grettings from Lisbon 🇵🇹
I love Emily so much.
If you guys haven't found out yet, Metric isn't her only band.
Check out Choir of the Mind. Easily my favorite art, ever.

Thank you I only ever knew of Emily Haines and the soft skeletons
Wow what a lucky interview to have I have loved Metric for all those years !!

Metric has worked so hard for so many years. Amazing band, unrelenting commitment to their music 😊
METRIC *IS* THE BEST BAND OF ALL TIME!!!! See you in Vancouver
Saw them on David letterman... Been with them since... Thank u Canada
My favorite album of the year, hands down.
metric formed in 98! wow. they definitely worked for their success as i feel like they didn't achieve success until "dead disco" hit in 2005. one of my fav bands of all time. emily's solo work is great as well. also, joules scott key one of the best rock drummers of past 20 years no doubt.
❤Love how inlove they are! who else did the host mention? ❤Metric plays in their own league!
Great interview ! Awesome voice sound !

I love the way they love Mexico city. Mi casa es tu casa Metric 🌶🖤
I was at that Kansas City show they talked about.
Funny they mention Brazil cause we’ve been waiting forever for a gig in here.
Metric is the best band that ever existed.

Cathedrals are great for drums. This is where we tracked the Belga Girl drums too.
Metric is so damned good, they just keep getting better too
Escape in your mind.🎼🎹🎸🥁

Best band in the world.
I’m such a nerd for this band ❤
Formentera is a great album!!
Formentara = Brazil. I KNEW IT!!!
wrong camera angle for this interview
Emily Haines is a gem!! greetings from Russia xd
Emily habla y siento como si me contara un cuento muy bonito :')
Emily so sharp and talented.
I've always found Formentera (song) to be very reminiscent of Hotel California. She validates me here. Love that song.
...also, i like to pretend that Paths in the Sky is about UFOs, but it probably isn't. LOL
How come every interview they do they. Do it together where are the other two members?or are just touring members?
I think they're shy, kinda like me like that.. Josh and Joules have been with the band since 2004 so I think they chose not too.. I've seen Josh talk a couple times in interviews over the years but mostly they let Emily do all the talking..
They are long time touring members.
@@geburah2 no they’re full members
Metric is jimmy/emily. They are the heart and soul behind the band artistically.
