[@stuartallford]

This version of machines with the cello is just perfect

[@goldkindno1]

[@Uncle_Ric]

[@Scotty2794]

2 people arent savouring life!

[@mmmbilly]

anyonen else noticed the constant horse references on teh new album lol...

[@Angealolo]

yeah, its pretty cool lol :D

[@topcat2726]

@Lordwatson303 i dont understand them at all and i love biffy haha! such confusing abstract lyrics sometimes

[@theboywhocantollie]

hes very sweaty

[@semimental1990]

which song are you describing? because Machines is clearly about a personal death (and to Simon the singer it surrounds the death of his Mother) and the lyrics do make sense.

[@bertiethefish]

Where was this? Class... P.S. Mon the Biffy.

[@topcat2726]

@davidleachmusic i love both bands but im so confused bu their choice of words sometimes

[@jakesdaddy08]

does anybody know what the pedal is at 0.03 that simon steps on in the close up. it looks black and its definately boss which would suggest the mt2 (which hes well documented as using) but the sound doesnt sound particularly "metalzone-ish" any clues?

[@anarchotrent]

@joesheldon hahaha yeh proper. She's not bad looking, Simon might be in there lol! Always the heartfelt acoustic ones that get the ladies...

[@exxodus87]

Download it using a youtube downloader, mate

[@anarchotrent]

@stuartallford Tell you what 9 times out of 10 it's fucking boiling on stage mate. My band, we play to small groups of people in little venues with like maybe 4 or 5 lights on the rig and as soon as you step up there you sweat. Before you even move you sweat. And we move around a lot like Biffy do so my the end of like the second tune we're drenched. Now you can see why Simon Neil is topless a lot of the time on stage lol!

[@dabomera]

i think you have to know what he's singing about to understand the lyrics

[@stuartallford]

that man likes to sweat

[@JoshDaveJones]

Found Wally - 7:00

[@skunxy]

anyone know who the sexy red head at 4:25 is? I want to know!!!

[@SirBelmerD]

It's called poetry. Try to analyse what he's singing. That's the beauty of these lyrics.

[@hiimwesjones]

at 5:40, she's crying

[@anarchotrent]

@Scotty2794 Or maybe 2 people just don't like biffy or thought it was a bad live version. Why do people always assume that thumbs down people are wrong? just FTR, I love Biffy but I think the sound mix is a bit wank on this one. Surprising considering Maida Vale is like the bollocks when it comes to high-profile live recordings for radio. Then again it's a youtube video so...

[@mclean90]

They're called metaphors man, less obvious lyrics sometimes are better, sometimes not. In Simons case, he seems to enjoy writing this way, I enjoy hearing it. To me it's not hard to understand what he's singing about really.

[@DavySolaris]

what do you think I mean? I'm getting into a song but keep getting put off by the fact that the words coming out the singer's mouth don't..mean anything.

[@ScottTogher92]

great performance! shame about the motionless crowd that nod awkwardly occasionally :/

[@stuartallford]

@anarchotrent Im not having a go! lol i love biffy. im just saying that he looks like a drowned rat

[@DavySolaris]

catchy, but their lyrics make no sense and it's kinda distractng..
