The fact that so many of these pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-politcal commentators on this video seem to actively dislike IDLES simply reaffirms my love for them.
HUGE shout from America. Great to see UK acts putting out music with substance and a message. Loving Idles and other rebellious Brits like Kate Tempest, Sleaford Mods, Slaves, Akala, Allflaws
Was lucky enough to hang out a couple of them at the gum wall in Seattle and talk with the singer a bit the next night. Can confirm they're a fun group of guys
what a cathartic band , and to know theyre actually just normal lads who all seem really quite lovely really, when i lose myself to them i feel like im letting off steam (with) them - like im part of the gang - a sense of common unity
There’s a lot to unpack with these guys. I get so many different vibes from their songs but they really package it all together in a fresh way. Great performance
They’re fucking phenomenal live. I saw them in Toronto and the crowd was absolutely wild. There was a dude in a wheelchair being crowd surfed in the middle of the pit for most of the show. Bowen even crowd surfed over to him and gave him his guitar during one of their songs
@@timothyharris7288 Standing that close to a drummer unfortunately will give you hearing damage real quick. Especially one that plays as hard as this dude does. Protect ya ears!
Zack Lance Have you ever played one? Does it live up to the hype? Certainly sounded cool at the Thee Oh Sees show I went to 5 or 6 years ago, but I rarely see other bands play ‘em.
@@chadlong1109 I've got an EGC Standard. Fragile is most certainly not the word I'd describe it with! It sounds very much like a regular guitar, albeit with more sustain and a bit more zing to it, especially with new strings. Mine has coil taps for the humbuckers using push-pull pots which allows you to get a very thin metallic sound out of it. The guy in the video has the p90-looking single coils that I kind of wish I'd ordered as I do like the bite they give, but I guess I have a bit more versatility. The thing that I'd warn people about is that the neck is THIN. It took me a long time to adjust to the neck but I do love it now. Any other neck feels like I'm grabbing a tree now.
Neil Moffat What kind of neck shape does it have? I’ve got fat sausage fingers and those thin, tall Ibanez style necks have almost always played wonderfully for me
This is the most clothes I've ever seen this guitarist wear by a significant amount 😂
Daily reminder: that very same guitarist is a dentist.

Drummer is a machine and highly underrated - damn - I love these guys
You mean their accountant?
@@andiCNH i like that , he's great
@cross hatch2 got ticket t see them think its next year though, dam covid
That fill at 9:07!!!!
@@thomasandroberta great news - American 2021 tour tickets go on sale this week!!!!
My four wake up alarms are all Idles songs. Works like a charm.
Careful, eventually you'll despise those songs
I would have a heart attack.
Waking up to IDLES WAR and caffeine might make you unstoppable.
How does a band sound this good live, this is beyond impressive
D'you know.. good in a punk way, I guess!!!
that’s IDLES for ya
drums and bass are solid, that's the trick
Can't imagine this band with a different singer, he's a top frontman, that's why Idles are great live...
absolutely.
There is just NO Idles without this man, he is a massive instrument in that band
Their drummer is a powerhouse.
yep. anyone who disagrees clearly wasn't paying attention during the middle 8 of Mr Motivator. the man is a machine.
Reminds me of Matt Helders from arctic monkeys
spectacle by itself I'd say

War is just as amazing live as I thought it would be, holy shit.
uppity-up-up-upvotin'!
IDLES on KEXP
I LIKE THAT
I love those guys. They are one of the best things that happened to the rock/punk scene in recent years.
Seriously. It's like splashing cold water on your face in the morning. Now I'm ready for this day filled with Dunning-Kruger boot lickers.
They are the best
Agree 100%!!!
them and viagra boys, there's nothing like them right now
who in the ducky duckling duck mixed this ? they deserve another raise
Best energy out there
you guys should do a cover
@cross hatch2 Viagra boys' frontman has a different vibe. This one looks and sounds like he has just come from the nearest pub. I kinda like that
When one of my favorite bands likes a band I love 🥲🔥
Jesus Christ, War live is immense, gives me chills.
same
Look up the newest balley tv version of it, so good
Kudos to KEXP for breaking up this content in multiple convenient formats.

you seen the dude comparing idles to shakespeare because they're best seen live lmao
Shut up

9:05 incredible.
Can't wait to listen to this live
The Jonas Brothers be lookin really fresh doe
Agree JAJAJAJAJA
They are NOT the Jonas Brothers. I understand the confusion though
Tiny tiny (desk) confusion
This is "big bang" in a tiny room.
How fantastic is this drummer.
I Love „Ultra Mono“. My favorite album of 2020 so far. So much energy... I love it!
But when I see this.... I miss live concerts even more...
Without doubt THE best live band of the last few decades
Think I might have just found my new favourite band. That drummer is a fucking monster.
OMG Drummer is a god... Just wow!
Already bought album, noice sounds guys
these guys are in their prime.. killing it. cant believe this is in abbey road 😍
I've said it before and I'll say it again. A night out with these boys would be one to remember.
… or probably one you wouldn’t remember at all 😂
Was lucky enough to hang out a couple of them at the gum wall in Seattle and talk with the singer a bit the next night. Can confirm they're a fun group of guys
Some might say
Best band at this moment. Didn't saw a band for a long time, who had such a powerful sound like Idles!
Love you, Idles!
Dang this is one of the better performances I’ve seen from them hell yes
Please mind their amazing NPR appearance as well, absolute legendary
Saw them live in Toronto last year. Nothing better. Best band today.
what a cathartic band , and to know theyre actually just normal lads who all seem really quite lovely really, when i lose myself to them i feel like im letting off steam (with) them - like im part of the gang - a sense of common unity
Guitarist in black started peaking at 5:20.
These guys are definitely in top 10 list just not sure how many, luv the sound and i look forward to a live show asap
A - S - A - P! I was thinking about going to Europe to see them, they don’t let Americans in... 😂
They are brilliant live
There’s a lot to unpack with these guys. I get so many different vibes from their songs but they really package it all together in a fresh way. Great performance
thanks KEXP thanks IDLES ... this is as good as it gets perfect performance love the dedication to the cause
This could be the new heavy sound im looking for?
It is. Ultra mono and Joy as an act of resistance are amazing albums.
Banzai I know it isn’t cool to put a record in your top 10 ever if it’s under a decade or two old, but Joy may be in there for me
@@banzai744 ya missing the first record, i honestly think its their best though theyve been so consistant
@@zachiswayposi1 Anyone who thinks a new album cant be on their top10 ever is pretentious
@@callanc3925 agreed. Like yeah maybe you'll change your mind later but maybe not. Also who cares
Love, Love, Love IDLES 🖤
Just when you think they are at the peak of their powers, they find a higher vantage point.

I don't need more vitamins. This gig is giving me all the energy I need for the rest of 2020
I want to see these guys live so bad. What a band.
They’re fucking phenomenal live. I saw them in Toronto and the crowd was absolutely wild. There was a dude in a wheelchair being crowd surfed in the middle of the pit for most of the show. Bowen even crowd surfed over to him and gave him his guitar during one of their songs
These 4 songs would be just as legendary as an EP
Enfin un groupe qui remet la musique à l'honneur! Je découvre ce groupe avec mes ados et on adhère à mille pour cent...
They scare me by becoming better and better. Like all this must end with a big bang
Album and performance of the year !!!!
That’s a tight sound
The drummer is a machine without being mechanical - so tight but so much passion. Really holds the wall of sound together and gives it structure
Super-tight and making it look effortless.
Amazing. Latest release is the best album of the year. Don’t think any can top this.
You know, I’ve heard Idles plenty of times and love them. This is the first time I’ve seen them playing live. Fuck me. That was fucking phenomenal!!
Watch the glastonbury set, it's epic
Simplemente grandiosos, desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱✊🏻✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿,un abrazo...
I clapped in the end of all songs! Great energy!
ELECTRICAL GUITAR COMPANY! Sick upgrade man!!!!!
When it’s cool to do live music again these guys are among my top must see
I don't like punk... But I LOVE these boys. So basic, so raw. The drums are insane.
Theyre not a punk band
@@sinmogen I'd say they are tbh
@@spacegrass6632 read interviews with the singer
@@sinmogen lmao the dead kennedy's said they weren't punk either, it's one of the most clasically punk things you can do
@@sinmogen they describe themselves as a post-punk band in interviews
why the guitar guy with mustache is not naked
Pensé lo mismo hahaha😅
Is the same? He looks like other man
@@adrianchavezandrade2453 is is the same guy with shorter hair
I know right?!
Incredibly well mixed.
Escutando todo dia para acordar!!! Melhor banda da atualidade!!!!
It’s all about the confidence!
I simply just love, dig, appreciate you.
These guys remind me a lot of the dead kennedys but still have such a unique sound that sets them apart. I'm happy I discovered them from fantano
please ask king gizzard to do a at home kexp peformance
Sorry, Eric isn't at home
Eric isn't in the band anymore 😢
@@yosephschecroun6066 whatt? :(
Probably after the next album drops.
My dude Jon is an absolute mad lad on the drums!!!
So nice that KEXP choose not to include intro music! A small change but a VERY welcome one!
IDLES are my favorite energy
Yes.
what a show
I love this band so much
The drummer is a machine...
Nice work fellas...2020 band of the year!!!
These Abbey Rd Sessions were so nasty!!! Thanks again KEXP!!!!
Damn, I love this band so much. And the drummer is a fu**Ing beast!! ❤️😎👍
That drummer... wow!
This band reminds me of my youth.
Ahhhh another Electrical Guitar Company sighting! Beautiful aluminum guitar...mine's on order right now...a YEAR to get one! Dang.
The drummer, beastmode
😱 I am shooketh
"How far up do you want the guitar?"
"Yes"
😂😂
Their best performances are on KEXP.
Top rock n' roll performance .
Amazing ... Just amazing. Thank you!
I've discovered so many bands I've never heard of by just shuffling KEXP. I'm about to buy all of their stuff.
Oh I am glad this was recommended to me
Well done
Have not missed a step. Holy Hell! Come back to Canada
I was always the one saying that proper music is dead, but this last year or two I'm having to question what I've been saying. Thank f
The drummers on fire 🔥🔥
Best band in the uk right now 🤘💥🤘💥🤘
Fun band to watch.
Model Village was how I found them. I love themmmmmmmm since
This drummer is so clutch.
love
Amazing band!!
Idles new songs and 2020 look's better.....
That's a solid drummer!
But as somebody with Tinnitus, it hurts me to see them playing without any ear protection...
I think they are actually. Looks like they all have black ear canal plugs in. They're just low profile so they don't show on stage.
@@spayum2 most likely this isn't as loud as a full concert as it's a smallish room in a studio instead of a whole venue

Le batteur est fou, le basiste est fou, les guitaristes sont fou , le chanteur est très fou et moi je suis complètement FOU de ce groupe. Merci
JOHN DWYER’S GUITAR 😍
www.electricalguitarcompany.com I’ve never tried one, but they somehow look simultaneously too fragile to tour with and completely indestructible.
Definitely EGC but Dwyer uses an SG shaped and this ones like a les Paul jr shape I think
