Foals - Balloons (spanking new sessions MTV2)

[@billyma.1235]

Miss the old Foals...

[@rka5996]

0:28 LOL at Walter. Killing it!

[@AqilKamaludin]

I’m aware of their newer stuff but it’s nice YT suggested me some of their older stuff. Nice to discover the roots and earlier sounds of a band and see them progress to what they are today.

[@HIScore98]

yannis used to be in a math rock band so he draws some influences from that genre

[@JazSmithPresentation]

Man takes me back to the old days seeing Yannis with no beard.

[@godzassassin96]

i personally think this should be classed simply as 'the future of rock'

[@lurgoyff]

the intro without trumpet just does not feel the same

[@MrBabolat92]

Nice MTV this is, actually broadcasting music.

[@osvaldojons2724]

O baterista é um mostro!

[@MrBryan182]

NICE DRUMMING

[@bactheusllo]

Weird seeing Yannis so clean-shaven.

[@lloydaustins]

Early Foals > Later Foals

[@Ilikered17]

I love the guitar tones in this video.

[@Pastafield]

the first beat is like a drum and bass beat, except with more syncopated hi hats

[@willminnock]

Why does it matter what genre they are? They make great music. No other information is necessary.

[@AlanBadaueba]

my first contact with math rock and i didn't even noticed

[@gustavo34787]

Love the lyrics Love this version Love that drums!

[@Radijo86]

Antidotes forever

[@INSTERMENTAL]

Wow never saw this version, New order vibes this deep and dark

[@JazSmithPresentation]

yeah defo, plus foals old stuff was very math rock and some members were involved with and in various other math rock bands i.e The Edmund Fitzgerald so I guess it's in there.

[@deathcabiscool]

this is so much color live much more alive

[@liamiji]

@PharLap13 The drummer plays with math rock drum beats I think

[@SKPenterprises1906]

Almost a bare knuckles style.

[@bittercokejjang]

thrilled to see them performing here in korea in a week =)하하핫

[@blackgenet]

it matters in terms of practicalities

[@seoncope]

I love FOALS!!!

[@JamesMakesWows]

oh hahahha my apologies, two foals videos were playing at once, i am an idiot

[@bittercokejjang]

nice tune!

[@blanamana4214]

This guys are freaking awesome (I know it's not the most clever thing to say, maybe this: "yabadabadoooo" gets there ^^) !

[@JackyNeedsALullaby]

I LOVE it.

[@mariaaglq]

Por qué esto nunca se transmitió en MTV en Español????? D:

[@janocronismo]

Maria Aguilar Sé que es una pregunta de hace seis años, pero no importa cuando leas ésto, la respuesta es la misma: Porque MTV en español lleva dos décadas siendo malísimo en contenido.

[@SteffRobin]

Fuel called love❤️

[@fetmabebis]

@JEB375 It clearly has math rock elements.

[@guitarraplayer12]

@areetlikehew What the heck is Math Rock? what's up with all these weird genres?

[@AlexisVolta]

wait wait wait. From My understanding, Math rock is bands like Battles and such. I don't really think this share many similarities to that sort of music. Wouldn't this just be pop or something?

[@mdannbeck]

stark.

[@fetmabebis]

@areetlikehew Yeah, I woldn't say it's math rock, but it's definately math rock-ish ;)

[@guitarraplayer12]

@areetlikehew hmm i'll check them out. i've heard LITE, pretty good.

[@JamesMakesWows]

definitely mathletics yo

[@Lespaulcoolio]

"I AM YANNIS WHO ARE YOU?" "STICK GUY!"

[@gabrielink91]

lol - math rock is like early minus the bear and such...

[@lukecooper9140]

Math rock is basically spontaneous drumming with the lead guitarist following the flow of the music on his own accord and the other components filling in the gaps. More like music vomit, but in a brilliant way.

[@exalted_kitharode]

luke cooper well, that's not math rock.
