Jeremy Gara totally killing that drum set in this song the ramp up throughout is intense. what an awesome tune

[@ac-nq8ct]

Dude I came here to say the exact same thing!! The drums in this song are absolutely incredible and I wanted to see a video of them being played live. The the camera showed him for a total of about 1.7 seconds in the video 😒

[@ghostofguy]

I saw them in Cardiff around 10 years ago. They stopped half way through “keep the car running” the arena went black, the lights came on and they all changed instruments and carried on playing 😢❤

If this was produced in nigel godrich basement id love to hear the whole set. Sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

Wow

[@jandewit6455]

Sooo looking forward to seeing them live come September! My first time was a bit after the Suburbs coming up on Reflektor, second was the Everything Now tour. I'm still a bit bummed out I canceled on my zeroeth concert (that would have been full-on Suburbs) because my ex didn't want to go, but I've got a feeling that this one'll make up for that 🙂

[@michiel4463]

Hehe see you there Jan. Have fun tomorrow!

[@BenjaminRay]

How was it?

[@crystal2710]

[@Xalira]

Aaargh we were rehearsing in studio 2 when they recorded this! Well, at least we know what they were doing in there xD

Crazy how fine Sarah is after these years

[@Galimatias19]

Esta canción me gusta mucho, pero no me gusta que está dividida y al escuchar a Arcade Fire en aleatorio en Spotify se corta feo.

[@Randy-zj6pq]

id love to see Springsteen cover this .

[@themanwhosoldtheworld5350]

After this they need to do a throwback album without the damn SYNTHS!!!!!!!!

[@deejayhart]

PITCHFORK is a suitable term for these dubious and unfounded allegations, much of which he has been repentant about. He is neither a saint nor a monster - I think this hunger for trashing and villifying people who can make mistakes as defines humankind, does not mean the band deserve this kind of ghoulish gossip. People are so polarised on this but I question both the gravity and veracity of these supposed crimes. I don't believe he's a bad man, and his and wife Régine's letters (they were apparently in an open marriage) were unequivocally self-aware and contrite. Move on, I'm looking forward to seeing them next Friday and ignoring this tittle tattle from people who once idolised him and consented too - he is no predator in my view. Just look at what Bob Dylan had to endure with far worse claims, totally proven wrong with no consequence for the mendacious accuser. In this case, for a START, that 'gender fluid' person claims they were scared of him but nevertheless invited him to their flat. Easy to rewrite history through malice, being spurned, attention seeking, or wherever that comes from. People are fallible and flawed; it's not as if he raped anyone or was with someone underage, hm? It's a total storm in a teacup just cos so many of his fans seem to regard him as some kind of modern-day prophet. He's no Harvey Weinstein ffs! Groupies never used to moan about these situations but #metoo has done a lot - it seems to me - to bring out the revisionists 'creative version of the truth'. Interested what you think. pitchfork.com/news/arcade-fires-win-butler-accused-of-sexual-misconduct-by-multiple-women-frontman-responds/

[@atlasmonkeyleon]

You're absolutely spot on there, mate! I feel that many people are thinking the same, but are afraid to speak their mind. Crazy times we live in smh How was the show? :)

[@eevae]

How boring

[@markkeogh18]

Loved The Suburbs but they really kept quite regarding the freedom truckers and Trudeau's handling of the whole thing. Rebellion? What a joke Arcade Fire. Long live medical freedom.
