[@alexzent234]

I watched this from my prison cell when it happened. I cried

[@pepeeltoro5445]

Can barely hear the back up voice

[@jaramoneja]

Someone get Jimmy a decent guitar rig already. He's a good guitarist but he always sounds so thin and empty live.

[@pepeeltoro5445]

Back up voice mic is low

[@nickridley2149]

Jazzmaster guitars are know to be very top heavy and bright even with overdrive. Some guitarists like it. Babyshambles guitarist had one and the treble hurts my ears. Prefer a bluesy fuzz sound myself

[@dusty9438]

I disagree, I think it accentuates and compliments the lead vocals and guitar melody really well, and gives a lot of space for the bass to have some higher frequencies that are usually cut off, to the point i can hear the bass on my phone speakers even. It's pretty well produced to sound put together however you listen, and i can really appreciate that tbh

[@magneto44]

Pepe El Toro they always are 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@ariorojas2901]

I seriously think this is the weakest song in the entire album, and that's coming from a DIE HARD foals fan...

[@mjk5254]

Whats your favorite album?

[@dannymt]

Disagree, there was worse on What Went Down.

[@adambell2891]

Im a massive foals fan. Listened to every album countless times. This is literally my favourite song of them all.

[@christopherrusch]

I respect your opinion ario

[@tylermcneil5239]

I see a mountain at your gate.

[@bobparsons8378]

This is truly some of the most annoying sounds to come from any band ever. The world has sadly gone dumb.

[@Linkmon99]

lol wtf how, this performance isn't perfect but this is an amazing song like the majority of foals

[@magneto44]

this band is awesome hombre
