The drummer plays with such anxiety. The way he hits, his posture. It looks rigid, high-strung, uptight and just anxious to me Even his look compared to the rest of the band. All the other band members, you see them, you wouldn't be surprised they are band guys. Drummer looks like someone's dad they jumped on the street and said "play drums for us or else." And he plays like his life depends on it it almost looks like he's playing while held at gunpoint at times. I mean all of this as a compliment lol. He really drives home the energy of this band Maybe he looks so anxious while playing because he gets to watch his bandmates traipse around in their knickers and pink hair and get to move all over the place during these high-strung and energetic songs, and he's confined to the stool, where he has no choice for expelling his angst except to pound it into those skins. Like he knows shit could go off the rails at anytime but by God, he's gonna sit there and give those drums the beating they deserve no matter what happens Just something about the way he plays that I love. Controlled chaos is this band's essence, and each member expresses it in their own way. It's beautiful to watch
@A A funny how the right keeps repeating "the Left are the REAL NPCs" yet here you are regurgitating the same lines over and over from right wing talking points kek
@A A I think you'd find they have a large working class following, Manchester is mainly a left leaning city and the majority of the city is working class.
They created a beautiful protest album in times of deep uncertainty, an album with depth and gravitas to bring people together. Disappointed they didn't win. UNITY!
Yes its got depth, attitude and is not some polished band...but the songs suck. They are a million miles away from Rage Against The Machine who have a similar ethos and message but whose songs stand the test of time. None of the artists had a decent chorus and isn't that what live musics about, that moment the chorus hits and the artist and audience are one. This aint the opera where you clap and admire.
True, a little disappointing that they didn't win, but the boys were SO HAPPY that they even got nominated and got to perform at the awards as nominees, which makes me feel better about it.
If you ever get the chance to see them live, take it. At all costs. Even if you go by yourself. The most fun show I’ve ever been to. Their energy is unmatched. Hell, they had crowd surfers come on stage and play their instruments for them. It was so fucking badass. Plus their fans are a great group of people
Reminds me so much of when nirvana played mtv awards in 90s and they had this raw shock factor that showed they were up there performing for the music and the love of it, to hell with what people thought, and so I feel this performance is exact and brilliant.
@@carlosdcf8268 exactly, at least the Sex Pistols played good sounding music, not just a plain monotone beat that… oh wait, at least the Rolling Stones played good, no! At least Bill Haley… duh!!! This argument is as old as music I guess. At least as old as Rock music.
Congrats to everyone, but my god this should have been IDLES prize and moment. This performance was just unbelievable and stomped on everyone else's. There's a reason it was the last one of the night. Robbed.
Only just noticed when Joe gives slowthai the award at the end you can see Isaac and Laurie from Slaves in the back... great to see everyone having a good time together there!
@Reality tester not at all, I am a male myself, and bisexual, I don't really think hating men is my thing lol. But if you disagree with the notion of toxic masculinity, I don't really think you will enjoy idles very much
I'm so jealous! Cause you know the majority of ppl there. As it Is their first time hearing this Gem! Can only imagine the goosebumps and butterfly's it giving them all! (Or horror. ) I'm so addicted to this song I just heard it for the first time on july 18 , 2021. I'm in love.
there were so many amazing artists on the list... and yet the dude with the “graphic design is my passion” looking album cover won... and none of those others did...
lol read a comment under the tiny desk concert: release the drummer, his family wants him back. he might look like a sales person or teacher, but in his drumming he shows the same attitude and passion and stark raving madness with heart, like the rest. He fits in one-hundred percent. Best band on the planet ATM.
A shame they did not win the Mercury Prize........but they will go on to bigger and better things.....and part of me thinks they really don't give a flying flamingo. Absolutely LOVE the Idles :-)
@@milomorris2049 Why can't you be middle class and punk? It's a mind set, not a social status. Look at descendants, one of the best hardcore punk bands, all middle class, milo has a degree in microbiology, so yeah you're wrong, stop being a gatekeeper.
for real. I lived 3 houses from Johnny Rotten in Marina Del Rey. Lemme tell you, there was nothing punk about that house he lived in, and fucking hell way beyond middle class. Do we then take his cred away because he became upper class and started hanging out at the beach? Gatekeepers are the most useless fucks.
I'm not familiar with Dave but from his performance he seemed like he had alot of passion for what he does - still cant help but feel the boys got snubbed though, couldve sworn they had it when everyone started the loudest cheering before they even came on
"He hates me, I like that!" such wonderful moments in this song.
I bark he bites back! Just 2 brilliant lines! Idles are great!
I sing that part every time. It’s my therapy
Fr yes it is
Best line
The whole lyrics are gold but ID *He hates … bite back* is what catches me every time
The people's choice. Idles. Black Midi. Slowthai. Fontaines D.C. All insanely good.
Punks back
@@FA1L4LIFE punk never left my friend. It may have been dormant, perhaps, but punk's spirit has always been with us. ✊

It means so fucked its good@@artseosamhogriobhta
Ev kills it with this one. Midrange grind at its finest
love that they reference Doorman by Slowthai
Caught that too. Made my smile
I also love how Joe handed the trophy over to slowthai at the end. That and the slowthai boxers and slowthai dance
I actually smiled so hard there lol
And slowthai getting involved in the audience, brilliant
mark is wearing slowthai boxer 😳
The lead singer's energy is literally why I listen to this band. He really believes in this shit. The drummer kills it too btw.

2023 and the energy’s never disappeared
guys guys guys, what about the dancing moves of the bass player and the guitarists? pure awesomenness. band is 5 out of 5
same for me, very captivating
95% of this audience appears horrified and confused. The other 5% is having the time of their lives. I love it.
the 5% is composed mostly by the bandmates wives
@@brevyansingollo1411 and the slowthai :D
fuck man! This song would be a blast to MOSH to
sounds like punk stats to me
reminder: black midi also played at this festival
I love that they pace around like caged animals. SO much energy.
Perhaps it's the Charlie Sheen? Though for all I know, they might go to prayer meetings when not performing.
the contrast between the stage and the audience is almost disturbing
Like they're the puppets and the audience the masters hmm
@A A sure does
@A A funny how the right keeps repeating "the Left are the REAL NPCs" yet here you are regurgitating the same lines over and over from right wing talking points kek
On the contrary, they seem to fit right in.
@A A I think you'd find they have a large working class following, Manchester is mainly a left leaning city and the majority of the city is working class.
Just your usual reminder that the guy in his boxers is a dentist.
MadArticDriver I guess so now! Still funny though
Imagine if your not a punk fan and turn on the TV one day and see your dentists doing everything this lads doing
Tony Marshall He was a dentist in a prison though
He’s in slowthai’s boxers actually!
All middle class lads aren't they
They created a beautiful protest album in times of deep uncertainty, an album with depth and gravitas to bring people together. Disappointed they didn't win. UNITY!

True, a little disappointing that they didn't win, but the boys were SO HAPPY that they even got nominated and got to perform at the awards as nominees, which makes me feel better about it.
DC Jones how the fuck can you watch that performance and say the song sucks

I needed to hear his man. I just paid for 3 tickets for a the Seattle show and I'm the only who loves this band in my circle. who wants to come?
To go from the “Congratulations everyone” to that performance deserves an award in itself.
Ha ha love this so true!
absolutely love all the love slowthai got. the boxers, joe referencing his lyrics, and mark literally hugging him. great performance all round 👏🏿
Turns out he was a piece of shit in the end
His guitar cable is longer than any relationship I’ve been in
The funniest comment here...pissing my pants! :D
Brilliant 😂
Haha ;) underrated af
😂😂😂😂😂
Saw them last week, they had a guy who’s main job seemed to be looking after / feeding the cable every time the guy was playing while crowdsurfing 😂🔥
So bizarre this song being played to people sat around dinner tables
monomax it’s almost beautiful actually
@@luketalbot7006 yeah! caught myself thinking the same thing, there is something cinematic to it i guess
Bunch of upper class twits getting a fix of middle class angst in a safe venue.
Joshua Jones you so edgy
@@tedfrantic yeah people like you call anything edgy even if it's completely irrelevant. Be original.
Best version. Joe’s aggression is off the rails
It's true
Their tiny desk performance is fucking amazing if you haven’t seen it. That’s what got me into this band
Can't wait to hear the IDLES slowthai collab
I would pay money to see that happen
They posted a pic on Instagram together and are clearly friends in this performance... 🤞
Same oh my fucking god i cannot wait
Imagine a joint tour!
Well well well
This has gotta be one of my favorite live performances EVER.
Every single time I watch IDLES I get really emotional. I don't know why. I love it.
Watched this clip yesterday morning, now I’ve seen it multiple times over. Mesmerized by this band, it’s exactly what a 19 year old needs
it's exactly what everyone needs* fixed it for you! :D
Too right I had amazing bands like Selfish Cunt and Eighties Matchbox B-line Disaster, great to see shit like this getting some attention
I am 38 and need this either. *cough..
Holy shit, Joe's voice is insane here
Can't stop listening to this. 57 year old bloke loving this stuff. Awesome!!
Who ever is incharge of the cabling for this gig deserves a medal
Reminds me so much of when nirvana played mtv awards in 90s and they had this raw shock factor that showed they were up there performing for the music and the love of it, to hell with what people thought, and so I feel this performance is exact and brilliant.

But at least Nirvana plays good sounding music, not just a plain monotone beat that do nothing to hype

the guitarist is wearing slowthai boxers too
And you have a milo album cover as your thumbnail, @man.
This comment section is rad.
Slowthai at 02:31
Who cares about the prize ? They won the hearts. Period. Amazing performance as usual. What. A. Band. What a f...ing band.

LMFAO
I've never seen a band so consistently intense through all their performances as these guys. Amazing.
who said punk's dead? this is the natural evolution. amazing.
The sound quality is amazing, especially for moving around the stage monitors and a guitarist that just leaves the stage
Congrats to everyone, but my god this should have been IDLES prize and moment. This performance was just unbelievable and stomped on everyone else's. There's a reason it was the last one of the night. Robbed.
I'm 50 and just bought some Idles merch off the back of this. I'm getting some Slowthai boxers as well. Friggin class both of em
My guy
The energy these guys bring on stage is always insane, but I feel like the nervous energy of the event gave them an extra 5% here. CHILLS!
Such a great band. Glad I discovered them.
Joe's vocals here are so INTENSE
An entire audience of people that have no idea what's going on. This is working class knuckle dragging music and that's a compliment.
Lee hopping off stage to bounce around with Slowthai was awesome. Love seeing these artist supporting each other.
Amazing performance. Massive energy. Publicity from this perfect performance is worth 1,000 awards. Congratulations from Houston Texas.
Love the way tolbat looks at the crowd with such contempt, imo
Thought he was going to sing Feel Good Hit of the Summer a moment there
ccccc cocainneee
HAHAHAH same!

Haha so did I!

Nice to see Joe Wilkinson on guitar 👍
I’ll be honest with you, Jimmy...
.. there was a bit of a fuck up.
I love the contrast between the disinterest of what I presume arr record industry execs at the front and the few people who got up and danced!
I love how fucking happy the drummer is.
Only just noticed when Joe gives slowthai the award at the end you can see Isaac and Laurie from Slaves in the back... great to see everyone having a good time together there!
"You're one big neck with sausage hands" - love that this sounds like Alan Partridge, both lyrically and the way he delivers it.
The irony is half of that audience is exactly what the lyrics are about.
@Reality tester yeah, the song is about toxic masculinity, and generally making fun of hyper masculinity
@Reality tester not at all, I am a male myself, and bisexual, I don't really think hating men is my thing lol. But if you disagree with the notion of toxic masculinity, I don't really think you will enjoy idles very much
Not really, maybe some but it’s more about toxic masculinity then fake people
@@SooSkii And kicking his ass.
What? The song is either about biker dudes or toxic masculinity in general, not preppy people who watch concerts from dinner tables.
I'm so jealous! Cause you know the majority of ppl there.
As it Is their first time hearing this Gem! Can only imagine the goosebumps and butterfly's it giving them all! (Or horror. )
I'm so addicted to this song I just heard it for the first time on july 18 , 2021. I'm in love.
I heard it 2wks ago for the first time and I think I'm now on the 2000th time 😂
While everybody gushes about Bowen and Joe let's appreciate Jon is a fucking awesome drummer
Absolutely love IDLES' true passion for their music. they really give it their all in live performances
Drummer has great groove.
Band is killing it... awesome!!
On the plus side, they can come back with an even better album and win.
It’s actually bare cute how the guitarist was dancing with and hugging Slowthai 😭

This award show seems so much better than all the other ones. It has actual good music with winners that actually deserve it.
If something like this was on an award show here in America on one our main stations, people would be so confused.
Ah yes, a song about toxic masculinity shouted at you by an angry bloke with pink hair. Love ya, IDLES
Its a pretty OG move when you congradulate the audiaunce before your perforance. Love to bothe IDLES & SLOWTHAI!

Nice guys with strong shouders. This band sustains what rock and rolls looks, sounds and stands for. Last of species.
without a doubt a true work of art. The emanation is so intense that you seem to be at Ikea in the heart of Christopher street.
Everytime the camera zooms in on the drummers face hes got the biggest grin on, God I love IDLES
They SMASHED it! Crowd was so ready for them and, they absolutely owned it. See you at the Ally Pally.
16addam jealous... grew up in archway but now live in Vietnam! I’ll be there in spirit!
This is one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. They certainly have the X factor. Just outstanding 👏 👏 👏
Idles will forever be legends
So much respect for IDLES & Slowthai who showed his love to them
Wow that was amazing. Bring that to the Grammys and watch people freak out. That was sick.
The slowthai moments, the voice delivery and the sound engineering keeps this as one of my top live performances ever
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and girls, lads, lassies and everything in between and beyond:
This is Rock and Roll.
It is not dead, it just smells funny.
Actually this is post punk, there plenty of great rock bands out there
Nice to see Mark dressing it up with some boxers instead of his usual tighty-whities.
This guy's gonna murder his vocal chords
Slowthai and idles being friends makes me so happy
the guitarist entering the crowd is the best part of this
I haven’t heard a sound like this in a very very long time. Please come to Austin, Texas!!
A shame they did not win the Mercury Prize........but they will go on to bigger and better things.....and part of me thinks they really don't give a flying flamingo. Absolutely LOVE the Idles :-)

@Amir Solaymani Totally agree. Most songs are overproduced.
God I love them. Please come tour the east coast in the U.S. I'll drive hours to see them !! I need this kind of energy in a show so bad !
As someone who remembers the original punk rock era I can say that the Idols would have been one of the best even back then.
Great to see a whole country with another big wave of great performers.

m8 elbow won instead of burial back in 08, the mercury prize is a bit of an odd one!!
Nah Dave will be around in many areas of media long after the other nominees have disappeared. He really is something special
Idles are great, but Psychodrama > joy literally any day
Dave is fucking awful, his performance almost put me to sleep
this song is so powerful in many ways, and so is the album
the drummers smile at 3:20 is so wholesome
I just realized Idles are my favorite band. I haven't said that in 20 years. I'm 41 and a newish band makes me feel like I'm 21 again
Should have gone to idles, slow Thai or black midi.
That’s usually how it is. Usually the winner is the worst and the nominees always deserve it more.
Dave was a worthy winner
Little simz anyone
Anyone on that list deserved to win in all honesty. Thought it would've been Slowthai but was more than happy with it being Dave.
Dave deserved it wdym
Just finding these guys now and I have SOOOO MUCH to catch up on holy shit legendary blokes
